Food options abound along Open Streets route. Off the Eaten Path also reports on Sparrow cafe, Sonic, and Fairfax Coffee. Whatzup Features Writer Published August 12, 2026 It's called Open Streets, but you might stumble into some tasty treats if you aren't careful during the city of Fort Wayne event. Open Streets returns Sunday, Aug. 16, from noon-4 p.m. along South Calhoun Street between The Landing and Pontiac Street. The city shuts the corridor down for walking, biking, ambling, skipping, or however you self-propel. It's a pretty diverse stretch and the food along the way reflects that. Some vendors are there just for the day; others have been on Calhoun for years. Either way, you got Mexican cuisine at Mercadó and Alberto's Mexican Grill and Vietnamese flavors at Saigon. American dining options like Bru Burger Bar, West Coast Grille, and Texas Roadhouse will be buzzing, alongside neighborhood favorites. Coffee and dessert stops dot the route, featuring local brews at Fortezza Coffee alongside sweet treats and sampling bars from Poptique Gourmet Popcorn and Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream. Fort Wayne Sonic plans to open Sept. 22 It's no secret Sonic is returning to Fort Wayne, but now Whatzup know when. The location attached to the Marathon gas station at Bass and Thomas roads will officially open Sept. 22. Fort Wayne's previous Sonic locations closed in 2010, though a drive-in location opened in Auburn last year. Pay-what-you-can diner coming to downtown. A new style of eatery is opening downtown as The Sparrow Café will open inside Trinity English Lutheran Church, 450 W. Washington Blvd. Sparrow will let diners pay what they can, make a minimum $5 donation, or work a 30-minute shift for a meal. The café is expected to open in September. The menu features salads, sandwiches, and soups with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, prepared by local chef Lindi Miller, formerly of Deli 620. Visit TheSparrowCafe.org for more information. Fort Wayne adding another Bibibop. Asian-inspired restaurant chain Bibibop is opening a second location in Fort Wayne at Jefferson Pointe. The chain serves build-your-own bowls with rice or salad bases, toppings, proteins, and sauces. All bowls are 100 percent gluten-free. No opening date has been announced. The first Fort Wayne location at 4968 E. Dupont Road opened in June 2025. Carve Market opening along Coldwater. Carve Market is bringing its upscale butcher shop concept to Fort Wayne in October. The Auburn-based shop has started construction at 5410 Coldwater Road, across from Walmart. Carve Market cuts meat on-site and blends bratwursts and burgers in-house. The shop sources from local and regional suppliers emphasizing quality and trust. More awards given to Country Heritage. Country Heritage Winery in LaOtto was named Indiana Winery of the Year at the Indiana State Fair Wine & Spirit Competition. The winery's Marquette took Indiana State Fair Wine of the Year and best red hybrid. Moment White won best sparkling wine, alongside three double golds and two golds. Backroads Distilling Company, Country Heritage's distillery, won Non-Whiskey Spirit of the Year for its Blueberry Liqueur. The liqueur also received a double gold medal. Fairfax Coffee opening shop along wells. The mobile coffee shop Fairfax Coffee is opening at 1213 N. Wells St. to pair caffeine and vinyl. Operated by Erika and Mitch Dazey, the shop will feature coffee from out-of-state roasters and syrups made in-house. Its menu will include scones, croissants, and other baked goods, with dairy-free and gluten-free options. Breakfast offerings are expected to include breakfast burritos, breakfast empanadas, and other West Coast-inspired foods. Tea also will be available. Records will be part of the shop, creating a place to enjoy coffee, food, and vinyl. McDonald's going up along Maysville. Fort Wayne is getting another McDonald's at 4602 Maysville Road. Construction has started on the site where Walgreens used to be, just off Maysville Road near Interstate 469. The location sits next to the new 7 Brew drive-thru coffee shop.
