“Joey Doesn’t Share Food!”

Posted on February 14, 2019 | Leave a comment

“Joey doesn’t share food,” but now you can try the “Joey” sandwich along with all other menu items named after the cast of Friends at Central Perk in Hamilton, Texas!

Named after the iconic coffee shop from the series, Central Perk offers breakfast, lunch, coffee and desserts for the most avid Friends fan. The next time you head down US 281 make sure to stop by this adorable bistro.

For more information, check out their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Central-Perk-244670441477/ .

Thanks to Alpha’s Chris Pape for this recommendation, and keep sending us your favorite restaurants and coffee shops so we can feature them!

Old Town Market

Posted on January 31, 2019 | Leave a comment

The Old Town Market, which happens to be one of Brian Powell’s favorite spots, is moving! A new store will be coming to Double Oak soon, with Alpha providing materials testing for the project. This new location will continue to please the public with awesome barbecue, just like the original store has since 1977.

This store for choice meats has even been recognized by world renowned chef, Bobby Flay. The owners and experienced butchers want to give their customers the best experience that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

Their new location is expected to open in Spring 2019. For more information, check out their Facebook page here.

Hannah’s Favorite Cafe

Posted on December 6, 2018 | Leave a comment

This recommendation comes from Alpha’s Hannah McAdams, a Cypress, TX native. Located in Hannah’s hometown, Hanan’s Café features a “chalkboard menu” meaning the options change daily. They use local ingredients to make healthy yet delicious meals for breakfast and lunch. Pair the banana French toast tower with a classic Americano or a Honey Bun Latte. The eggs benedict is amazing too!

Check out their website http://www.hananscafe.com/ for more information!

Do you have a favorite local spot you’d like featured on our blog? Let us know! Email Marianne or Hannah to give your favorite restaurant some love!
