Built in 1888 as the largest manufacturer of cotton gins in the world, the historic building is now home to flex work/office spaces, restaurants and outdoor patio areas. 

Serving both coffee and bakery items, the new La Casita location will be replacing CGB Coffee and operating in the mixed-use building’s lobby space.

Owned by James Beard nominated pastry chef Marisca Trejo, La Casita has five other locations in the Metroplex — including their Half Priced Books location on Northwest Highway  that opened in August of 2024.
