La La Land Kind Cafe Soft Opens at Towne Lake Boardwalk in Cypress with 50% Off Drinks Through June 26
After months of anticipation, one of the most talked-about new additions to Towne Lake has officially opened its doors. La La Land Kind Cafe began its soft opening on June 19 at The Boardwalk at Towne Lake in Cypress, welcoming guests with 50% off all drinks through June 26 as it prepares for its official grand opening celebration.
Located at 9935 Barker Cypress Road, Suite 130, the new café occupies the former Land of a Thousand Hills space overlooking Towne Lake's popular waterfront destination. The opening marks the arrival of a brand that has built a devoted following across Texas, combining specialty coffee, colorful café spaces, and a mission centered on kindness and community impact.
For many Cypress residents, the opening represents more than just another coffee shop. Since plans for the location were announced in late 2025, excitement has continued to grow among Towne Lake residents and coffee enthusiasts eager to see the nationally recognized café make its debut in the area. The Boardwalk at Towne Lake has become one of Northwest Houston's premier gathering places, and La La Land's arrival adds another highly anticipated destination to the growing mix of restaurants, shops, and waterfront experiences.
A Coffee Shop with a Mission
Founded in Dallas in 2019 by Francois Reihani, La La Land Kind Cafe was created with a purpose beyond serving coffee. Through the La La Land Foundation, the company provides opportunities, mentorship, and workforce development support for young adults transitioning out of the foster care system.
That mission has helped distinguish the brand as it has expanded throughout Texas and beyond. The company describes its vision as creating spaces where people can experience joy, connection, and kindness while supporting a broader effort to empower foster youth through employment and life skills development.
What Guests Can Expect
Guests visiting the new Cypress location will find many of the drinks and menu items that have made La La Land a social media favorite, including specialty lattes, seasonal beverages, teas, and signature toast selections. The café's bright yellow branding, upbeat atmosphere, and waterfront setting at The Boardwalk create a destination that is expected to draw both local residents and visitors from across the region.
The soft opening period gives the team an opportunity to fine-tune operations while introducing the concept to the community. Through June 26, all drinks will be available at half price, offering an added incentive for residents to stop by and experience the café before its official grand opening festivities are announced.
What Happens Next
While the soft opening is now underway, La La Land Kind Cafe has indicated that details about a formal grand opening celebration will be shared soon.
For Cypress and Towne Lake residents, the opening brings a new gathering place to one of the area's most active community destinations. Whether visitors are stopping in for a morning coffee, meeting friends along the Boardwalk, or simply curious about the brand's mission, the arrival of La La Land adds another chapter to the continued growth of Towne Lake as a hub for dining, recreation, and community connection.
Residents can visit the new La La Land Kind Cafe beginning now and take advantage of the 50% off soft opening promotion through June 26 while supplies and participation allow.
