Excitement is brewing in Carrollton as a new local shop prepares to delight taste buds with an array of coffee, ice cream, loaded teas, and sweet treats. Moos and Brews aims to become a go-to destination for families, fitness enthusiasts, and those in need of a refreshing pick-me-up.
Bringing Flavor to Carrollton
Moos and Brews, set in the space of a former cell phone store next to Dance West, is the brainchild of mobile business owner and certified bartender Krystal Killcreas. Her vision is to create a welcoming spot where anyone can enjoy delicious refreshments and sweet snacks.
“We are in the process of opening Moos and Brews,” Krystal shared. “It will feature ice cream, lattes, coffee, and loaded teas, along with a wall dedicated to candy where people can scoop their own selections.”
The shop plans to offer a variety of treats, including ice cream, espresso-based coffee beverages, loaded teas, smoothies, protein shakes, and prepackaged baked goods. There are also plans to collaborate with local bakeries for additional dessert options.
Distinct from chain coffee shops, Moos and Brews will prioritize freshly ground coffee beans and made-to-order espresso drinks.
“It won’t be prepackaged coffee,” Krystal explained. “We grind our beans and make espresso shots fresh. I want to ensure everyone enjoys their coffee before they leave.”
The location was strategically chosen to cater to the growing west side of Carrollton. Positioned near Thunder Zone, Planet Fitness, soccer fields, the GreenBelt, and Dance West, Moos and Brews aspires to become a charming stop for families and visitors enjoying the area’s vibrant community spaces.
Krystal noted that the loaded teas and protein shakes are likely to attract those utilizing the GreenBelt, visiting nearby gyms, or partaking in local sports events, providing a quick boost of energy and refreshment.
“With the dance studio next door and all the ball fields nearby, we’re hopeful families will come over for ice cream,” she remarked. “And with Planet Fitness close by, we wanted to offer healthy choices like protein shakes and smoothies.”
The candy wall will allow customers to scoop candy by weight, offering a flexible range of options from small bags to larger selections.
Before taking the step into a traditional storefront, Krystal dedicated two years to operating mobile trailers for various events, festivals, weddings, and parties.
“Establishing a brick-and-mortar shop has been my dream,” she said. “I will continue with my mobile trailers for events like weddings and teacher appreciation, but I was ready for a permanent base.”
In addition, she operates a separate mobile bar trailer for adult events and private functions.
As Moos and Brews gears up for opening, Krystal shared her appreciation for the support she has received, particularly from leasing agent Misha Page of Coldwell Banker, who was instrumental in securing the location.
“She’s been incredibly encouraging and helpful throughout this whole process,” Krystal noted. “We are excited to bring more options to this side of Carrollton.”
An official opening date for Moos and Brews will be announced shortly.
