IntheKnowHouston Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 A plan review permit was submitted yesterday for one of the ground floor units at Texas Tower. According to the permit, it's for a cafe / restaurant. The name of the permit is Carousel. I don't know if that will be the restaurant's moniker or not. Carousel will be located at 845 Texas Ave, Suite 100. It's occupying the unit previously leased to Cafe Sophie, a dining concept from Chicago restaurant group What If Syndicate. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unit was initially leased to Cafe Sophie, a dining concept from Chicago restaurant group What If Syndicate. According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) filing, Carousel is going to be a coffee shop by day and a bar at night. Cisneros Design Studio is the architect of record.
