Catering to the sweet tooth

Sisters Meghan Adams and Kristen Adams Scott have launched The Hospitality Sweet, a boutique catering company. Born from the sisters’ desire to do something creative while staying at home with their children, The Hospitality Sweet specializes in sweets and “shower” foods, plus wedding cakes, full catering and boxed lunches for meetings. The two plan to open a storefront on Knox-Henderson this January.

Doughnuts for foodies and hippies

Hypnotic Donuts has started construction on its first fully operational storefront, near White Rock Lake, and is set to open in January. The previously nomadic (until they implemented set hours at a North Dallas pizza place) doughnut shop will operate seven days a week on Garland Road near Barbec’s. “It’s a convenient stop for those on their way to work looking for a morning pick-me-up, or athletes enjoying White Rock Lake looking to reward themselves with a well-deserved treat,” says James St. Peter, owner and creative mastermind behind Hypnotic Donuts. His flavor concoctions include chocolate cake, gooey cinnamon caramel, and maple syrup and bacon. For some added local flair, St. Peter has commissioned a local artist to paint a mural of well-known hippies inside the doughnut and coffee lounge (patrons of Hypnotic Donuts are called “Hyppies”), and locally owned Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters will supply the coffee.

Burger joint open, chicken and beer coming soon

Stackhouse Burgers recently opened in an old, renovated house on Gaston near Baylor Hospital. The Dallas-based burger joint serves up homemade, cooked-to-order burgers, as well as sandwiches and salads.

Granada Theater is opening a beer garden and restaurant, Sundown at the Granada, in the space adjacent to the theater formerly occupied by M Street Bar.

Junius Heights’ Little Bean had planned to close in November, but in a last minute twist of fate, the children’s store announced it soon will reopen under new ownership. Charming Charlie has opened at The Shops at Park Lane. The women’s fashion accessory and handbag boutique is located near Whole Foods Market Cafe San Miguel, the upscale Mexican restaurant on North Henderson, has closed.
