The Cypress and Cy-Fair area saw a variety of new businesses open in October.
Aleyotl Coffee & Bakery
The Mexican-inspired cafe offers baked goods and drink options including horchata matcha, Duvalín latte, Mazapán latte and Café de Olla.
"Our concept is inspired by our roots in Michoacán and Mexico City," Co-owner and barista Yanitzi Duarte said. "The name 'Aleyotl' combines the inspiration of the alebrije with 'yollotl,' the Nahuatl word for heart, representing 'the heart of alebrije.'"
