In less than a year, Danny and Joy Atkisson have gone from running To Chai For Cafe out of a tent at the Keller farmers market to a food truck and will soon open a brick-and-mortar store.

The Atkissons bought Roscoe’s Coffee House at 841 N. Tarrant Parkway, Ste. 100, in Keller, on Sept. 1. Former owner Alan Spicer sold the coffee house named after his dog that he opened in February 2020 to the Watauga residents, according to Danny Atkisson. A small remodeling project is underway, and the Atkissons have applied for the permits needed to open, Danny Atkisson said. He said he hopes To Chai For Cafe will be open for business by the end of September. The food truck will still be in operation, available at local festivals and events.

To Chai For Cafe will continue to sell its chai drinks and waffles as well as expand to include offerings from Roscoe's, such as its cold brew, Danny Atkisson said. The hours and days of operations are still in the planning phase, but Danny Atkisson said the location will be closed on Sundays. www.facebook.com/tochaifor
