When Meow Wolf opens its newest location at Grapevine Mills this summer, visitors will be immersed in great food and drink as well as spectacular art.
Meow Wolf, the Santa Fe-based art collective turned national psychedelic sensation, recently announced its list of local food and beverage vendors. Representative of Meow Wolf’s commitment to collaborating with local communities, all vendors are from Texas, with most of them hailing from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The arts and entertainment company chose these vendors for their creativity, their impact on the community and to complement Meow Wolf’s unique art experience.
“Our café is an extension of the immersive art world that is Meow Wolf Grapevine,” said Mandy Cooper, Director of Operations for Meow Wolf Grapevine. “As a certified B-Corporation, our goal is to provide economic opportunity that supports local, women, and minority-owned small businesses. We have partnered with more than 15 local food and beverage artists to bring their flavors to Meow Wolf Grapevine. If you taste something you like, you can visit and support these businesses right here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.”

Meow Wolf’s cafe and retail store will sell these grab-and-go products just inside the entrance to Meow Wolf’s fourth installation site in the nation.
“Meow Wolf and Hive Bakery are a match made in heaven as we share a fantastical dream of bringing immersive art to the public through sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound,” said Haley Popp, owner of Hive Bakery. “We hope to tantalize your taste buds as your mind runs wild during this one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience.”
Visitors will see creative echoes of Meow Wolf’s artists, including 30 North Texas artists, in these products. Peaberry Coffee currently features Meow Wolf artist and Dallas local Will Heron on its Kiestwood Iced Coffee cans.
