Tyler/Davis shake up

Big changes are happening in the Tyler/Davis area. David Spence of Good Space bought the 90-year-old retail strip at the northeast corner of the intersection. Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters launched its café and showroom, Davis Street Espresso. The café is open Tuesday-Friday from 6-11 a.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m.-2 p.m., serving coffee drinks, plus treats from Rush Patisserie and Vera’s Bakery. Oak Cliff Winery has been open for several months at the southeast corner, selling local wine. Attorney Chad West bought and renovated the building across the street for his new law offices, which are now open. From the Ends of the Earth has moved to the 400 block of North Tyler. A little further down the street, Oak Cliff-based artist Michael Savoie opened Savoie Gallery at 212 S. Tyler. His first exhibition, “Expensive Waste,” opened last month.

Restaurants pop up

The “permanent pop-up” restaurant at Trinity Groves, Kitchen LTO, opened last month with a modern French/American menu from Chef Norman Grimm and designs from Coeval Studios. The restaurant will change chefs and concepts early next year. Also coming soon to Trinity Groves are Casa Rubia, from Driftwood chef Omar Flores (see page 11), chef Sharon van Meter’s Beignet Bidge Club, Resto Gastro Bistro from chef DJ Quintanilla and Luck, a kitchen and bar concept. The Local Oak, a new place from Alycen Cuellar, Felix Garcia and Paul Delgado, was expected to open at Zang and Davis in September.

Grocery makers

No, Trader Joe’s is not planning a store in Oak Cliff, so far as we can tell. But two new groceries are on the horizon in our neighborhood. Cox Farms Market is under construction at Sylvan Thirty, and the developer is expected to hand over the 11,000-square-foot building to the locally owned grocer this month. The store could open as early as December. Urban Acres, which already has a storefront on West Davis, raised almost $40,000 through a kickstarter campaign to build its ”urban farmstead” at Beckley and Greenbriar. The revamped grocery will include a café, aquaponic system, chicken coop, bee hives and a garden.
