A new Mediterranean-inspired micro coffee roastery concept, La Souq, plans to open in Richardson later this month. The business is a partnership between owner Hira Siddiqui and chef and restauranteur Ali Zbeeb.

The menu includes specialty coffees, artisanal teas, smoothies, sandwiches, baked goods and more, Siddiqui said in an email. Customers can expect a menu influenced by flavors of the Mediterranean and Middle East.

A grand opening is planned for later in the year, Siddiqui said.
