A new coffee shop, Nopalita Café, is opening at the Yellow House in Old Town Keller in mid-April.
The details
Nopalita Café is a family-owned business that specializes in iced and hot coffees, matcha drinks and pressed juices. Cookies and pastries with gluten free or vegan options are also available from a Keller and Fort Worth-based baker, Neva Store Bought.
One specialty drink is the “Nutty Mexican,” which is made with espresso, white chocolate, hazelnut, almond and a dash of nutmeg and roasted almond slices, co-owner Marcos Quintanar said.
Nopalita Café has a “safe and homey” environment with Salvadoran and Mexican inspirations for its drinks, Quintanar said.
“We simply want to create and share an experience with everyone who walks through our doors,” he said.
One of Nopalita Café’s shop logos, a mascot named Lupita, was also created by a Keller High School student, he said.
