This will be their second location (first location is in the Heights). Looks like they're slated to open this summer. I know they said “broke ground” in their post, but I don’t think that’s the proper term in this context, right? I associate that phrase more with construction of a building commencing (when you have a literal ground breaking ceremony). They’re just leasing a suite in an existing shopping center.

(sorry for being pedantic) well, if they're going into a brand new, never been used suite (which I think this is a brand new strip center), they will be breaking ground, the first thing to go into a brand new strip suite is plumbing, specifically the pipes to tie into the sewer, they gotta break the concrete to put in those pipes. so maybe break concrete?

I completely understand the need to dig up slab and whatever other work is needed for plumbing and so forth during a buildout of an existing suite in a strip center, I just have never heard the term "break ground" in that context. I just have exclusively heard--and therefore always associated--that exact phrase with the beginning of construction of the building itself. Admittedly, I do not work in the construction industry, so maybe someone who does work in the field can interject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used to joke when I'd walk by, their signage was quite confusing, they offer both smoothies, and pho, but the way they had the signs, it looked like they offered pho smoothies. my co-workers started walking different routes so we'd not go in front of S&T cause they were tired of me saying anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77011transplant Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Stopped by Teaspresso this AM. Still in their soft opening. If you've been to the Heights location, then you'll be familiar with the vibe and menu. A little expensive for boba imo (a boba with one topping and a 18% tip ran me $7), but it's good. The person I spoke to, who I believe is one of the owners, lives closeby in the neighborhood, so grab some boba and support local!

IntheKnowHouston Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) I think Acadian-Cajun restaurant Acadian Coast may close its location at Navigation Place. Last month, a listing for 2929 Navigation Blvd, Suite 200 appeared on a few real estate sites. Acadian Coast occupies suite 200. https://www.crexi.com/lease/properties/464678/texas-2929-navigation-blvd-houston-tx-77003 https://api-lease.crexi.com/assets/464678/flyer Edited September 22, 2022 by IntheKnowHouston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, the HTX controversy comes from it looking like Houston is ripping off Austin's nickname. I am late to this, but there are three codes for airports in the US. In this case AUS is the IATA code for Austin-Bergstrom, KAUS is the ICAO code, and AUS is the FAA LID code. ATX is an airport in Kazakhstan with a 5,000 ft unpaved landing strip. It does not have an ICAO code, apparently. And that concludes this episode of "Things You Never Knew You Wanted to Know". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a great bar/happy hour. But on the other hand, I don't think I've ever seen them close to capacity for a space that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaDolivin Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 It's not surprising at all to me. The quality of food and service especially has gone down since they opened. I hoped they'd turn it around but it seems like there was no attempt to improve things. Seems like a management issue. It's a great location and building and i'm optimistic that some other entity will move in soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapo2367 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Yeah I really wanted this place to do well, but I was disappointed every time I went there. Really slow service, . food and high prices :/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot great food in the area for a reasonable price. Corkys is overprice and not even authentic Texas BBQ. Sad to say this about a business coming to my hood. When I am right, I am right. I was talking about when the place supposed to be Corkys, but the principal stands. Also, the owner was a big MAGA fanboy so not sad at all. Karma. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
