New cafe concept brewing from The Newstand team

The minds behind The Newstand — one of the city's most popular coffee shops — are launching a second concept called The Dispatch, set to open later this year.

Catch up quick: Co-owners Page Pressley and DezArey Rodriguez debuted The Newstand near the Pearl in May 2024.

Their new venture will open inside the lobby of McCombs Plaza, nestled between U.S. 281 and Brackenridge Park.

What to expect: Signature drinks will include Just Peachy ($9), a blend of Texas peaches, matcha and sweet cream cold foam.

The vibe: An official opening date hasn't been announced, but the mood is already taking shape.

The space will strike a balance between sophistication and approachability with green marble countertops, earth tones and terra cotta-tiled surfaces.
Like The Newstand, The Dispatch is designed to be a go-to for light lunches, caffeine boosts or a refreshing change of scenery during the workday.

What's next: Keep an eye out for updates on the shop's Instagram.
