Solace Among Coffee Beans
Grapevine’s Newest Coffeehouse Brings Peace, Blessings And Java.
With the return of routine and responsibilities comes the need to have somewhere to retreat to. Locals can find that at Grapevine’s newest coffee shop, Pax & Beneficia.
“Grapevine is a very central location, and it has a lot going for it,” director of operations Corey Stephens says. “A lot of people here love the downtown wine bar scene, and we just felt like it was going to be a good location because of that and also [because] it’s near the airport. It’s good to catch travelers who are going to come in and share our coffee across the country.”
With its name meaning peace and blessings in Latin, this coffeehouse — which has two other locations in Las Colinas and Fort Worth — aims to provide just that to its patrons, with an interior full of comfortable seating as well as a front-row view of its roasting operations.
Whether you come to get some work done or relax with a book, Pax & Beneficia has a wide range of coffee selections for its guests to sip on. Besides its regular drip coffee, the shop also offers cold brews, French press and Turkish coffee. Espresso-based drinks such as Americanos, lattes, cappuccinos and mochas come piping hot. Plus many of the flavored syrups, including cardamom, chocolate, honey, lavender, rose and coconut, are made in-house.
Pax & Beneficia also has a rotating seasonal menu. Among its summer offerings is a berries and cream cold brew, which is a blended iced coffee with blueberry and raspberry syrup, and the coco mocha, which features a medley of house-made coconut syrup and chocolate.
For non-coffee drinks, the concept offers several delicious teas like the ever-aesthetic matcha, London fog, chai and mint black tea. Smoothies like mint lemon and strawberry banana provide additional fruity selections. And when it comes to food, the coffeehouse offers several upscale toasts such as PB&J and fruit and sweetened ricotta.
So whether you pop in for an after-school pick-me-up, spend an afternoon working or just want to soak up the coffeehouse vibes, Pax & Beneficia is ready to welcome you with peace and blessings.
