    Dallas needs more coffee

    Coffee giant Starbucks to add 1,500 stores in the next five years, but where inTexas?

    Teresa Gubbins

    If you're stuck walking more than a block to your local Starbucks, then help is on the way: The Seattle-based coffee-porium will open at least 1,500 new branches in the United States in the next five years. There are currently 11,100 locations across the nation, and more than 600 of those are in Texas.

    A spokesperson from Starbucks media relations team said that Texas was likely in the mix but couldn't share specifics about actual locations.

    "Starbucks does not break out store growth forecasts by market," she said. But Starbucks' chief financial officer told the Associated Press that the company would "deepen its presence" with additional locations in markets where it already had stores.

    Time for some guesswork. In Dallas, the area with the greatest proliferation of Starbucks stores, hands-down, is along Preston Road. Heading north:

    • at Mockingbird, in Highland Park Village
    • at Northwest Highway, in Preston Center
    • at Royal Lane
    • at Forest Lane
    • at Alpha Road
    • at Frankford Road
    • at Park Boulevard
    • near Shops at Willow Bend

    That leaves valuable openings for Starbucks at Lovers, Walnut Hill and Forest lanes.

    Other areas where Starbucks could deepen its presence — i.e., already has numerous branches — include Northwest Highway, Uptown and the intersection of Central Expressway and Mockingbird, which has a Starbucks on two of the four corners. Starbucks, you are missing Hotel Palomar and the corner where Mrs. Baird's used to be.

    An employee at the West Village store said that it seemed unlikely that Uptown would get another store – "only because we already have so many here, but you never know," she said.

    In 2008, Starbucks closed 500 stores that it felt were underperforming (some of which have been taken over by other businesses such as Taco Del Mar). One closure that hit its neighborhood especially hard, and therefore seems ripe for replacement, was the branch at the corner of Greenville and Martel avenues. The space has since been overtaken by Gloria's.

    "We still hear from people that they miss that store," said a staffer at the Mockingbird Station Starbucks. "But then they say, 'Even though my favorite store closed, you’re my favorite store,' and then we cry together.

    "I can see where they'd open a store on Greenville, but that might take business away from us. Besides, since Gloria's expanded, where are they going to put it? They’d have to elevate it over the street on pedestals."

    With more Starbucks on the way, Dallas is seriously for real on the brink of a coffee renaissance, one that seems certain to beat the last time we had a whole bunch of coffee places open in town: in 1994, when Starbucks first came to Dallas.

    Savvy team to open expansive Indian restaurant Silk Road in Coppell

    Silk Road restaurant in Coppell

    An Indian restaurant from a team of hospitality veterans is coming to Coppell: Called Silk Road Indian Cuisine and Bar, it will open soon at 160 W Sandy Lake Rd. in the former JC’s Burger Bar space, where it will feature flavors from northern and southern India.

    Silk Road is from a trio that includes Prinu Prasanan, who previously helped his brother open Shivas Indian Bar & Grill; Sushil Kumar, a home health entrepreneur; and Sreekumar Madolil, owner of Triveni grocery stores and Kerala Express in Irving.

    The three partners are all from the same state of Kerala in India, though they met here in Dallas. They chose Coppell because of its large Indian population and proximity to similar Indian outposts in Plano, Las Colinas, and Irving.

    "There are not a lot of Indian restaurants around here to cater for the growing Indian population and other groups that love our cuisine," Prinu says.

    They've pulled out all the stops to bring authenticity to the food, including chefs with culinary expertise from South India, which tends to use more spices, and North India, featuring more vegetarian-heavy cuisine as well as clay-oven tandoori plates.

    There are many Indian classics such as samosas, pakoras, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala, the spiced tomato-based marinated chicken served over rice.

    They also have Claypot Biryani, featuring protein and vegetables cooked in traditional clay pots; and Indo-Chinese options such as egg noodles and fried rice. Entree prices are $16 to $26.

    Honoring their home state, the restaurant will feature Kerala specials on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and a dosa breakfast daily with fish, chicken, shrimp and egg curry. There's also a full bar.

    They've kept some of the furniture from the preceding tenant but have dressed up the space with shiny floors, colorful wall paintings, and a new countertop at the bar.

    "We know we'll win over people from India, but we're here for anyone who loves authentic Indian food," Sushil says.
