Black Sheep Coffee, the London-born sensation that first landed in Grapevine last year, is officially doubling down on North Texas.
The coffeehouse recently signed a massive franchise agreement with YOLOWAY to develop 20 new stores across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex over the next five years, including in nearby Bedford sometime in 2026.
For Southlake and Grapevine residents, the brand is already a familiar sight at 2111 Hall Johnson Road, where it transformed a former Wendy’s into a modern hub featuring a drive-thru and a striking mural of Grapevine High alum Post Malone.
In a sea of traditional coffee shops, Black Sheep lives up to its name by breaking the industry's biggest rule. While most chains rely on Arabica beans, Black Sheep was the first specialty outlet in the U.K. to focus on 100% specialty-grade Robusta – delivering nearly double the caffeine content of a standard cup.
And it’s not just the coffee that has a cult following. The shop has become a local favorite for its authentic Norwegian waffles, served with everything from Nutella and whipped cream to fresh strawberries.
With a new Frisco location (2200 Stonebrook Pkwy) slated for completion this spring and additional spots planned for Garland, Rowlett and Richardson, the Black Sheep flock is growing fast. Whether you're heading to the Hall Johnson location or waiting for the Bedford doors to open, your morning routine is about to get a serious jolt.
