Moonflower Coffee opens in Sloan's Lake

• The beautiful and artfully decorated space serves pastries and allows dogs inside — something we're particularly excited about.
• It's the newest project from Danny Newman, who owns two historic Denver joints: My Brother's Bar and Mercury Cafe.

The big picture: The coffee shop will be part of a larger food truck park that's in the works, inspired by some of the spots Newman has seen in other cities, like Portland, Oregon and Austin, Texas, Westword reports.

What's next: Full Tank Food Park, as it will be called, will open in three phases: the first being Moonflower Coffee.

• The second phase, set to kick off by early November, will include adding up to six food trucks and winterizing the outdoor dining space with fire pits, staff tell us.
• Phase three will be securing a liquor license to open a bar.
