La La Land Kind Cafe is gearing up for a second Austin outpost at The Domain, according to state filings and the company’s expansion documents. Plans call for a tenant-finish buildout that will turn a roughly 1,259-square-foot mall space into a full-service cafe with a kitchen, restrooms, and a dining room. Contractors are slated to start work in late June, with completion targeted for the end of September, which sets up a possible opening this fall.
Permit details
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the project, listed as TABS2026014979 and registered March 14, is planned for 11410 Century Oaks Terrace #108, with an estimated $240,000 budget for a 1,259-square-foot tenant finish. The filing describes a new La La Land Cafe with a new kitchen, restroom, and dining area, plus new finishes, ceiling grid and tiles, and light fixtures. The record names Simon Property Group Texas LP as the owner and sets a June 22, 2026, construction start date with a Sept. 30, 2026, completion date.
Where this fits into La La Land's Texas push
Coverage from the Houston Chronicle notes that the Domain location would be the brand’s second Austin-area shop, joining its South Congress cafe at 1400 S Congress Ave. The Chronicle reports that La La Land now runs roughly 20 locations across Texas, with additional permits filed in Katy, Cypress, and the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. The outlet also highlighted the brand’s recent in-store Lululemon partnership in Houston’s Highland Village as a sign of how quickly La La Land is scaling across the state.
Brand background and what to expect
La La Land Kind Cafe opened in 2019 in Dallas and presents itself as a mission-driven social enterprise that provides paid internships and wraparound support for youth aging out of foster care. La La Land lists the South Congress address as its Austin presence, and industry coverage has tracked recent funding and expansion efforts tied to that social mission. Trade reporting from Daily Coffee News outlines the company’s broader growth strategy and its nonprofit arm, the La La Land Foundation.
What to watch next
Shoppers and nearby tenants at The Domain should start to see exterior permits posted and contractor activity by late June if the TDLR timeline holds, with job listings or “coming soon” signage often following once the interior buildout is underway. Hoodline previously covered the brand’s Lululemon Highland Village debut, which offers a glimpse at how La La Land handles openings and retail partnerships. Officials from La La Land or The Domain could firm up the exact opening date as the summer construction window approaches.
