Pearland’s donut guru Ray Peña announces plans to expand on the success of his widely-known Peña’s Donut Heaven & Grill to include a second location. Set to open summer 2016 at 10555 Pearland Parkway, the new location will feature some of the more popular items Peña is known for along with a few surprises.

With a larger footprint sized at over 2,700 square feet, the new location places Peña closer to his initial roots where his first restaurant opened in 1996 near the Sagemont community. Guests will find top sellers including a la carte breakfast items including donuts, the cronut, kolaches, and tacos paired with a few new signature dishes.

Still in development, Peña is perfecting recipes for new dishes along the lines of shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles.   A line of coffees by Katz Coffee will be featured as well. Lunch service will include specialty hamburgers and milkshakes.

According to Peña, “the new location will become a premiere breakfast destination and continue to build on our philosophy of delivering local flavor…honoring our Mom and Pop approach to the business.”

Peña’s son Ryan will be at the helm of the new restaurant working alongside his father Ray to hone his skills. Peña is currently collaborating with a notable architect to design plans for the new place.

For now, guests can indulge in the Christmas themed donuts which have been flying off the shelf since their release at the current Pearland location at 11601 Shadow Creek Pkwy, Ste 103 and of course many of the dishes that have put Peña’s Donut Heaven and Grill on the map.
