A new restaurant is coming to McKinney that'll be half Italian, half coffee shop. Called Yaba Java Cafe, it's opening at 3935 S. Lake Forest Dr., in a new shopping center at the intersection of McKinney Ranch Pkwy., where it will feature pizzas and other Italian dishes cooked in a wood-burning oven.

According to owner Ayman Hatkwa, it'll open this summer, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a full-blown espresso bar. There was once a Yaba Java Cafe in California, now closed, which served as a kind of inspiration, Hatkwa says.
