The first door unlocks at 7 a.m. at 5525 Granite Parkway, where Pax & Beneficia's second Plano coffee shop has served Flash Brew and cardamom-scented Zahr since September 19. Thirty minutes later on a weekday, Maman opens at 7200 Bishop Road with croissants and quiche. At 8 a.m., the coffee bar starts up at The Henry on Windrose Avenue. That restaurant opened at Legacy West on October 21 and is a little over a week old.

Three openings in roughly eleven weeks, all inside the Legacy area and all built around the first half of the day. Each sets its own hours and kitchen schedule, so the three don't really compete for the same customers. They cover separate parts of the morning, from early coffee to a weekday bakery stop to a weekend brunch that runs well into the afternoon.

The Morning, Hour by Hour

The table below lists each spot's opening date and its posted hours from its own website.

The table shows a few useful details. On a weekday, the only one of the three serving before 7:30 is Pax & Beneficia. On weekends, Maman and The Henry both open at 8. If you want a hot breakfast late on a weekday morning, Maman's kitchen keeps cooking until 4 p.m., while The Henry's weekday breakfast ends at 11 a.m.

Granite Park Gets the Earliest Cup

Pax & Beneficia is Turkish-inspired. Community Impact reported that the menu includes the Zahr, made with orange blossom and cardamom syrup, a cold-brew-style Flash Brew, and coffee served in a cezve, the small long-handled pot used for Turkish coffee.

Plano had a location before this one. The brand's first local shop is at 300 W. Plano Parkway, near downtown, and Community Impact counts the new Granite Park shop as the company's ninth in Dallas-Fort Worth. The first one opened in Las Colinas in 2019. For north Plano, the new shop means you no longer have to drive toward downtown for this coffee. At 7 a.m. every day of the week, it's also the earliest opening of the three.

Bishop Road Is the Weekday Kitchen

Maman is a New York City bakery, and the Plano shop is its second Dallas-Fort Worth location. The Dallas Morning News listed quiche, cookies, croissants and coffee among the offerings when the shop opened August 7. The Dallas location had its grand opening in November 2025, which means Plano got its own shop less than a year later.

The kitchen hours make Maman the most flexible of the three. The doors open at 7:30 a.m. on weekdays, and the kitchen runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day. That covers a 9:30 meeting that runs long, a pastry after school drop-off, or a quiche at 2 p.m. on a day when lunch got skipped. Maman stays open until 6 p.m., an hour after Pax & Beneficia closes.

Windrose Avenue Owns the Weekend

According to Community Impact, The Henry has an open kitchen, an indoor-outdoor bar and a full-service coffee bar, which makes it the only one of the three built as a full restaurant. On weekdays, breakfast is served fast-casual from 8 to 11 a.m. On Saturday and Sunday, brunch runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

That eight-hour weekend brunch is the longest morning service in the area. The Plano menu includes Eggs Benedict, huevos rancheros enchiladas and a brunch cocktail list with mimosas, spritzes, Bloody Marys and Hank's Espresso Martini. Community Impact's opening report also lists burritos, sandwiches and avocado toast among the breakfast options.

The company says the restaurant was designed to work at any hour. "Whether it's morning coffee, a business lunch, dinner with friends or a leisurely weekend brunch, we want The Henry to be a place Plano can make its own," Emma Elmes, The Henry's regional director of restaurant operations, said in a statement reported by Community Impact.

The Henry comes from Fox Restaurant Concepts, the Arizona company that also owns Flower Child. That connection matters a few blocks away.

Across Legacy Drive, the Evening Addresses Are Changing Hands

At The Shops at Legacy, the changes this fall are on the dinner side.

Samui Thai Cuisine served its last meals at 5700 Legacy Drive, Suite A1, on October 24. That ended a 23-year run in Plano for the restaurant known for its Tom Kha coconut soup and pad Thai. Community Impact reported that the restaurant plans to reopen at another location, according to an alert on its website. Owner Melissa Zaino confirmed the 23 years in business. If Samui Thai was a regular stop for you, samuithai.com is where to watch for news about the new location.

Flower Child, the salad-and-bowl restaurant from the same company as The Henry, is taking over that suite. Local Profile reported that construction is scheduled to start December 15, 2026 and finish by March 31, 2027, which points to a spring 2027 opening. No official opening date has been announced. When it opens, Fox Restaurant Concepts will have two restaurants a short drive apart in the Legacy area. One covers mornings and weekend brunch, and the other covers fast, lighter meals.

Around the corner, Bordeaux & Crème is getting ready to open a wine-and-dessert lounge at 5840 Legacy Circle, Suite D165. As of Local Profile's October 6 report, the owners hadn't announced an opening date, and a state filing projected construction would be finished by November 15. A Community Impact update on October 14 still listed it as a fall 2026 opening, with renovations expected to wrap up in November. When it opens, it will add a late-evening stop to a district that has spent the fall adding morning ones.

One Saturday, Three Stops

Put the posted hours together and you can plan a full Legacy Saturday around them:

1. 7 a.m. Pax & Beneficia in Granite Park opens an hour before anything else on this list. It's a good stop for a cezve coffee before the 8 a.m. openings.
2. 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Brunch at The Henry on Windrose Avenue. The long window means a late start still gets you a seat for Eggs Benedict.
3. Before 6 p.m. Maman on Bishop Road for cookies or croissants to take home, since the shop stays open two hours after its kitchen closes at 4.

On a weekday, the order changes. Pax & Beneficia opens at 7, Maman at 7:30, and The Henry's fast-casual breakfast runs from 8 to 11. For a late breakfast, Maman's kitchen is the one still cooking after 11.

A Little Farther Afield

You don't have to stay inside Legacy for a new morning spot. Habitat Plants + Coffee opened August 4 at 4817 W. Park Blvd., #815. The Dallas Morning News described it as a café serving coffee and matcha, with potted plants and plant-related merchandise for sale. It's about the same size of outing as a stop at Maman, with plant shopping added.

For a few more weeks, the clearest change in Legacy this fall will be in the morning hours. The next change on the calendar is Bordeaux & Crème's projected November 15 construction finish on Legacy Circle. After that, Flower Child's build-out at Samui Thai's former suite is scheduled to start in December.
