Some places serve coffee. Others serve kindness. La La Land Kind Café does both, and they’ve made compassion their mission.
Get excited, DFW! A brand-new bright yellow location has just opened in McKinney, and we’re taking the opportunity to shine a spotlight on this fun, trendy business that shares our heart for kids.
Walking into a La La Land Café is more than grabbing your favorite latte. From the cheerful yellow mugs to the uplifting atmosphere, you’re welcomed into a space that makes you feel loved, seen, and valued. Their focus isn’t just on coffee, it’s on people.
Coffee with a Cause
Since opening in 2019, La La Land Kind Café has lived out its vision of prioritizing kindness while giving back to some of the most vulnerable in our community: youth who have aged out of foster care. The café’s paid internship program offers these young adults far more than a job. They gain life skills, housing assistance, access to mental health resources, and holistic support to help them thrive as they step into adulthood.
This “teach a person to fish” philosophy ensures that interns leave with tools and confidence to build a strong future. Over time, the program has expanded into a true support system, empowering participants to grow and succeed beyond the café.
Allies in the Community
What makes La La Land Café so special is that their mission doesn’t stop at the door. By partnering with local businesses and organizations, they continue to weave kindness into the fabric of our neighborhoods. This commitment makes them a true ally in the community, and we are proud to celebrate their impact.
With café locations in Dallas, Houston, Austin, Nashville, and Los Angeles, there are plenty of opportunities to stop by, sip some coffee, and experience the joy of kindness firsthand.
A Sweet New Spot in McKinney
La La Land Kind Café’s newest location has officially opened in McKinney, on Highway 380 at Custer, and it’s already buzzing with life. Bright, beautiful, and full of energy, this shop embodies everything the brand is known for: joy, connection, and kindness.
Right from the start, the atmosphere feels light and welcoming. Their cheerful merchandise is displayed with care, a stunning chandelier hangs inside the atmosphere of gleaming white counters and floor-length windows, and the pastries and drinks look like works of art, almost too pretty to eat. Employees call out “We love you!” as guests leave, a genuine reflection of the café’s mission to spread kindness with every cup.
Despite the steady stream of customers, including friends catching up and colleagues gathered around tables, the experience remains effortless. A large, energetic staff keeps the line moving quickly, so there’s no wait to order and plenty of open tables.
Whether you’re stopping by for a morning pick-me-up or settling in for conversation, this new location offers a sweet way to start the day. If you haven’t been yet, we highly recommend a visit. You’ll leave not only with great coffee, but also with a smile.
