When Tammy Hoang and her husband took over coffee shop Urban Mocca in March 2026, they had a different vision for the Richardson spot. They rebranded the store to Luna Coffee Co. that spring, she said, remodeling the inside and bringing in new international elements to the menu.

The overview: Hoang said their own love of coffee, as well as its prevalence in Vietnamese culture, inspired them to open Luna Coffee. She said she wanted to make Luna Coffee truly international by shipping premium-roasted beans directly from Vietnam.

What's on the menu: In addition to Vietnamese coffee, other drinks on the menu include classic lattes, matcha and refreshers with mango, strawberry and other fruits. The pastry selection also reflects Luna Coffee’s international influence, Hoang said, including its patê sô, a French-inspired Vietnamese puff pastry filled with meat.

Two Democratic state lawmakers declared victory in the races for Texas governor and lieutenant governor Nov. 3.

What's happening: Speaking at an Austin watch party, Gina Hinojosa told supporters that the "trust they placed in her was not a blank check." Vikki Goodwin pointed to changes she hoped to make as lieutenant governor and president of the Texas Senate.

"We are on a mission to fight back against the systemic destruction of our rights, our public education and our democracy," Goodwin said.

Both women are state representatives from Austin. Hinojosa is poised to become the state's first Latina governor, while Goodwin would become the first female lieutenant governor.

More context: Republican Gov. Greg Abbott conceded to Hinojosa earlier Nov. 3, while Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued a statement calling the election "fair."
