Quince Named One of Fort Worth’s 10 Best Restaurant and Bar Patios by PaperCity Magazine

FORT WORTH, TX  (Mar. 17, 2025) – Few cities embrace patio culture quite like Fort Worth. Sweltering summer temps don’t faze loyal crowds, but this time of year is prime for open-air brunches and evening cocktails. PaperCity Magazine recently named the 10 Bes Restaurant and Bar Patios, and Quince Riverside is high on the list!

Set along the Trinity River in WestBend, Quince Riverside offers one of Fort Worth’s most scenic patio experiences. The two-tiered outdoor space provides sweeping views of the river and Trinity Trails, with crisp marble tables, woven rattan chairs, and plenty of open-air seating creating a stylish yet relaxed setting. The menu is just as bold with options like the Frozen Carajillo, a smooth blend of Licor 43 and espresso that’s perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon.

 

Quince (@quincesma), one of the most interesting and fun food concepts in North America, was created for all ages in search of an upbeat experience with their meal. Quince’s first location in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, was deemed the ‘No. 1 Rooftop Restaurant in the World’ for the past two years and was previously the ‘No. 1 Rooftop Destination in the World’ by Robb Report Magazine. The chic but casual atmosphere, impeccable views and carefully curated menu will create the perfect must-visit destination.

y&i clothing boutique, INDOCHINO, and Mod + Jo sign on to join Fort Worth mixed-use destination

FORT WORTH, TX  (Nov. 6, 2024) – Trademark Property Company (Trademark), a mixed-use investor, developer, and operator, is welcoming three apparel and accessories brands at Westbend, a premier mixed-use community located in Fort Worth’s University District. The retailers, y&i clothing boutique, INDOCHINO, and Mod + Jo, thoughtfully complement WestBend’s existing offerings, and bring the property’s retail component to 100% leased.

Westbend features over 160,000 square feet of retail spanning clothing, accessories, beauty, home décor, and restaurants. Featuring a curated mix of local and national brands, the property is located on the Trinity River and Trinity River Trail in the heart of the University District. It is also home to Trademark’s headquarters.

In 2016, the property underwent a major redevelopment adding retail, restaurants, and an 81,150-square-foot building that includes 57,000 square feet of new Class A office space. Westbend comes as part of Trademark’s Conscious Place initiative, a stakeholder-driven development model that aims to ensure its properties are more than just places of commerce, but also places of community and meaning. For instance, Trademark implemented a vibrant public art program at Westbend featuring distinctive works throughout the property by local artists such as Laura Kimpton’s Love sculpture and the Amon Carter photography collection.

“Westbend continues to be a dominant destination for shopping and dining in Fort Worth’s fast-growing University District,” said Daniel Goldware, Senior VP – Leasing at Trademark. “These tenant additions further enhance our offerings across the property, and we look forward to continuing to cultivate a place where one-of-a-kind brands can thrive.”

y&i clothing boutique brings a unique blend of casual, yet chic quality clothing at affordable prices. Their curated selection includes brands like Show Me Your Mumu, AGOLDE, Amanda Uprichard, Billabong, and Z Supply, along with local brands like Nikki Smith Designs and Tart by Taylor. Alongside trendy apparel, y&i also offers a selection of gifts such as candles, jewelry, coasters, clear purses, and unique items ideal for birthdays, bridesmaids, engagement presents, and more. Starting as a small shop in San Francisco, the brand has grown to include stores in Dallas, Plano, and Austin. Fort Worth was a long-sought after location for y&i because of its evolving metropolitan vibe and the influx of young adults moving to the vibrant city. The store is now open at Westbend.

INDOCHINO offers custom suits, shirts, and formal wear that embody style and quality. As a leader in made-to-measure men’s and womenswear, INDOCHINO brings the art of tailoring to everyone with affordability and impeccable service. Alongside its newest location at Westbend, which opened this fall, INDOCHINO has 92 showrooms across the United States and Canada.

Mod + Jo is a small-batch jewelry brand offering a mix of vintage-inspired and modern accessory designs. The store features both attainable and fine jewelry pieces that are made in-house along with a variety of complementary brands. A digitally native brand, this will be the company’s second brick-and-mortar location as it looks to offer customers an opportunity to experience the quality of their jewelry in-person. As one of the only stores in Fort Worth to offer 14k gold permanent jewelry, customers can expect in-store activations such as piercing events, exclusive collections, and more. Mod + Jo is set to open to the community in the first quarter of 2025.

Looking to the future, Trademark plans to launch Westbend’s second phase with a seven-story, 300-unit multifamily community with 4,500 square feet of commercial space. The plan also features an enhanced trailhead and public amenities, such as a bike repair station, public art, and outdoor gathering space.

Texas Christian University grad and former hedge fund manager Brian Sneed moved to Mexico in 2008, then opened a breezy restaurant, Quince. It’s since been called the No. 1 rooftop in the world, and he’s bringing those outdoor vibes and views home to Fort Worth’s Trinity River. This buzzy Mexican cocktail den became the talk of Texas tourists. Interestingly, it’s the second Fort Worth restaurant on this list that originated in Mexico. The Texas restaurant will be “hip and fun,” Sneed says, and mostly open air.The menu will be all over the map, on purpose: ceviche, sashimi, yakimeshi, burgers and more.

The chain will develop more smaller store concepts that aren’t located in or built for malls. The next one will open at WestBend.

Macy’s is moving forward with plans for smaller brick-and-mortar stores, including a second Market by Macy’s in Fort Worth.

The retailer’s first boutique version of the department store, located in Southlake Town Square, was only open a few weeks before the coronavirus pandemic shut down much of retailing. It reopened in May.

Macy’s CEO Jeff Gennette said Wednesday that the company plans to open its second Market by Macy’s in Fort Worth next year and still plans to take the concept to Atlanta and Washington, D.C.

A small store concept for the retailer’s Bloomingdale’s luxury chain is also under development and planned for late 2021, he said.

While Gennette said he continues to believe “the best malls in the country will thrive,” the company’s plans are for what he called “high-potential off-mall” and “smaller formats.”

Macy’s said in February that it will close 125 of its mall stores over the next three years, and those plans haven’t changed, Gennette said. Macy’s Backstage, the retailer’s version of a discount store, and Bloomingdale’s Outlet are its other smaller concepts…

Texas and Australia have always had a bit of a simpatico connection.
There are the hats, the love of the outdoors, ranching and our Bowie knives and their “That’s not a knife” bit. We may throw ribs in the barbecue pit and they may throw a shrimp on the “barbie,” but it’s the same idea.

Now there’s another connection between the Land of Oz and the Lone Star State: coffee.

An Australian-style coffee shop and café, Ascension Coffee, has just opened in WestBend, the University District’s retail spot along the Trinity River. It’s a hell of a view to have while you’re sipping café au lait and downing a ricotta souffle pancake.

Ascension originally launched in Dallas in 2012, by restaurateur Russell Hayward. Growing up in Sydney, Australia, mealtime for Hayward meant sitting around a big table with family, friends, fresh food, bantering and debating. Hayward struggled finding a great cup of coffee in a warm, conversation-filled environment in the U.S., so he did what any entrepreneur does. He opened one of his own. After a year spent researching and…

Located in the University District of Fort Worth, the growing commercial complex of WestBend stretches across 278,000 square feet with retail, dining, and office developments.

As WestBend fills its final leasing spaces, developer Trademark Property announced two new openings this fall: Ascension Coffee and ZAAP Kitchen.

Ascension, an Australian-style coffee shop and wine bar, was first introduced to Dallas in 2012 with the goal of elevating the American café experience. With seven locations across the D-FW area, each café boasts an inviting environment with a chef-driven food menu.

“Ascension believes in creating community and has curated this café with its own design to fit its new environment,” Daniel Velez, the upcoming general manager of WestBend’s Ascension, stated in a press release.

ZAAP Kitchen is a fast-casual establishment with a focus on Lao cuisine and Thai street food, and is a part of the area’s booming Laotian food scene. Originally based in Dallas, the eatery’s first Fort Worth location will be at WestBend, and…

An Australian-style coffee shop and cafe and a restaurant focusing on Thai Street food and Lao cuisine are coming to Fort Worth.

WestBend, University District’s retail & dining destination near the Trinity River, on Sept. 21 announced the opening of Ascension Coffee and ZAAP Kitchen this fall.

“Trademark is thrilled to bring Ascension and ZAAP Kitchen to Fort Worth, as entrepreneurial brands with a unique story to tell,” said Terry Montesi, CEO of Trademark Property, developer of WestBend. “Today’s consumers have a real thirst for passionate, independent retailers. Ascension is an Australian-style coffee shop and café that will bring a great new gathering spot for breakfast, lunch and through the evening. ZAAP Kitchen is family-owned, focusing on fresh, made to order, authentic Lao cuisine and Thai Street food. I believe both concepts will be well received by the Fort Worth market.”
