Plano’s growing office corridor is about to gain a new culinary destination. On Brand Hospitality, the company behind the beloved Downtown Dallas Café Olivia, announced that a smaller‑format concept called Café Olivita will open next month in the Park Center office complex on the west side of the city.
Location, Size and Audience
The 2,335‑square‑foot café will occupy a ground‑floor suite in the five‑story office building near Willow Bend. With seating for just 67 guests, the space is designed primarily for the building’s tenants while remaining open to the broader public. Hours will run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, providing a convenient breakfast and lunch option for the office community.
Chef‑Driven Menu for Busy Professionals
“Café Olivita is a smaller‑format expression of Café Olivia that allows us to bring our chef‑driven approach into office communities in a way that feels intentional and elevated,” said co‑founder Adrian Verdin. Signature dishes from the original Café Olivia will appear on the menu, including the Rising Pig breakfast sandwich—egg, rosemary‑cured ham, caramelized onions, aged white cheddar and black garlic aioli—for $17, and the Oaxaca Mornings sandwich, featuring egg, chorizo, OAX cheese, pickled red onions, Valentina aioli, a flour tortilla and potatoes for $15.
Design That Reflects a Coastal Mediterranean Feel
The interior was crafted by Wallace Johnson Studio, which opted for a coastal Mediterranean aesthetic that blends natural light, warm tones and comfortable seating. The design aims to create a welcoming “centerpiece of the reimagined office experience” at 2400 Dallas Parkway, according to Jeff Patman, speaking for the Shaddock ownership team.
Why This Matters for Plano’s Business Landscape
Plano’s office market has expanded rapidly in recent years, and amenities that support employee well‑being are increasingly seen as essential to attracting and retaining talent. Café Olivita’s focus on high‑quality food, thoughtful design and a limited but comfortable seating capacity aligns with the city’s push to make office environments more livable and community‑oriented.
Local entrepreneurs and office workers alike can look forward to a venue that offers both the familiar flavors of Café Olivia and a setting tailored to the pace of a modern workplace. The opening also adds to Plano’s reputation as a hub for innovative dining concepts that serve both residents and the growing daytime workforce.
Opening Details
The exact opening date has not yet been announced, but the café is slated to begin serving customers next month. It will be located at 2400 Dallas Parkway, Suite 140, in the heart of West Plano’s Park Center.
For anyone seeking a reliable, chef‑crafted breakfast or lunch option close to their office, Café Olivita promises to deliver the quality and hospitality that made its flagship Café Olivia a local favorite.
