This was my 2nd visit after a couple years. I came with my husband and two young children. The cafe was busy on Saturday morning around 10 am but we were able to choose from a couple table options. You order at the counter and the server will bring the food out to you. We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced. The manager came around checking on us and was very attentive when I needed to request an extra cup of hot water for our tea. The floral wall decor and light fixture gives such a cozy vibe. Service was top notch and friendly! We definitely will consider coming back soon again.
Solid and fresh breakfast food! Homemade biscuits are great, so are the fried chicken and pancakes! Coffee is okay if you are paying attention to the coffee taste. Their coffee drinks are pretty yummy and they have a wide variety of them. Staff is very nice! Place is pretty busy and you need to order before you sit down as it's a true cafe style spot. Overall 4 stars. I am sure we will be back!
I'm visiting a friend in Houston, and she brought us here. It's a beautiful cafe with great food and a variety of drink options. I had a strawberry mint agua fresca, which was refreshing (although a bit light on mint flavor) and tasty. I also tried the turkey sandwich, and I was impressed with the flavor and by how filling it was! I'd definitely come here again if ever I'm in Houston.
Atmosphere: Walked in there was a relatively short line but all the tables were filled. Due to the small amount of seating, they ask you to order before grabbing a seat. Surprisingly by the time I ordered my food multiple tables were open. It's definitely a tight fit, with your neighbor sitting right next to you. Let's talk food: I almost didn't get the lemon blueberry french toast sticks because they were sticks & had fruit toppings but sooooo glad I did!! They use a thick foccacia bread so it's chewy on the outside, soft on inside. It's sweet before you put any toppings so there is clearly something sweet in the batter before they make it. I got all the lemon, cream, blueberry on the side. If you like really sweet French toast get it as-is. If you want to control the sweetness and/or the amount of fruit toppings & sauce get them on the side. The maple sausage is clearly homemade. It comes smashed, irregular patty shaped with lots of flakes of seasoning goodness. Has a hint of heat from pepper & is not your ordinary sausage. Very flavorful! I tasted the pancakes & they are light & airy with a little bit of a crusty edge. Can definitely tell it's made with buttermilk. I like this place. I've only tried breakfast. I would definitely come back & recommend a visit. I would just try to come during less popular times.
First of all in my head when I thought of the name I thought it would be set up something like Betsy's at Evelyn Park or Tiny Boxwood with some type of green space. I was surprised that it was it in a strip center. Inside the ceiling covered in flower decor to give it a nice touch...few tables outside on the sidewalk. Looks like they are renovating the outdoors as i had to walk under scaffolding. Indoors can hold about 30 ppl or so, but some tables are uncomfortably quite close, but had no issue finding a spot. Im not going to lie, all dishes aren't the best for me, but some are great like biscuits and gravy. I get a side order of this every time I go so I can also try another item. First time I got the side of b&g and a loaded omelet and it was too big and I had to take half home, but that wasn't the issue. For me sometimes too much takes away from a dish and this was the case. 2nd time with my side order of b&g I got the breakfast sandwich and it was a hit, again massive, but not so many ingredients made it very enjoyable. They also gave me a side of pancakes for free as I explained how I went to their newest location and they wouldn't do a side of biscuit & gravy. Drove 30 minutes to the original spot. Every time I also get a massive cup of cappuccino. I enjoy it not being in a to go cup as to go cups make me feel like Im in rush at work. Service is great and love is the hospitality
We were hoping to find a fantastic new spot for a vegan-friendly meal and had high hopes for Dandelion Cafe since it pops up with Yelps Vegan options. After looking at the menu, we were disappointed to discover that there was only one vegan option available other than the juices. The experience was further hindered by how packed it was inside as well as the construction outside, which made the exterior of the cafe feel uninviting and difficult to navigate. Since we had our dog with us, I was unable to go inside to explore. From what we could see, the interior looked like a cute and cozy, though small, space. However, due to the off-putting outdoor environment and the lack of suitable menu options, we decided not to stay. We never got to try the food and left feeling let down. We may consider returning at a later date, once the construction is finished, but our first impression was unfortunately not the best.
Had a chance to try Dandelion Cafe after being in a mood for chicken and waffles! Coming on a Sunday afternoon around 1 PM, I was expecting a wait from the typical Sunday brunch crowd. There was a line upon entering, however after about 10 minutes, we were able to order at the counter and get seats. We ended up ordering the Blueberry Lemon French Toast and the Chicken and Waffles. The food came out relatively pretty fast and both were great! I definitely enjoyed the chicken and waffles as the chicken had a good taste and the waffle was light. The French toast was also good, but can get a bit overwhelmingly sweet if you do not have something to alternate it with. Overall, the flavors were great and the food was fresh. The restaurant is self serve, and they have a station with cold water, utensils, and condiments. There is seating indoors and outdoors, and a large parking lot in front (however can get full depending on the crowd). If you are coming with a large group during busy brunch hours, it might be a bit difficult getting a table considering the space inside.
I came here to meet a friend for breakfast. It was both our first time. There was a few things that appealed to me right away. First off, it's black owned, and I love to support that. Secondly Houston Chron named it one of the best brunches, and thirdly Good Morning America named it the winner of United States of America. With all that in mind I went in excited. We came at 10am hoping to beat the crowd on Sunday. But it picked up right when we walked in. Order at the counter and have a seat. I secured the table first and my friend got in line for us. Service- when I read the reviews before going, was a bit nervous as most said the service was lacking. But it was fine for us, for dinner-style. Otherwise said they were not happy by the prices, but to me they were typical? Food- so many good options on the menu look good. Its mostly known for its award winning chicken & waffle. But I wasn't in the mood for it. My friend ordered 2 eggs and the lemon blueberry french toast, comes with 3 pieces of bread. I had half of 1 slice. It was pretty tasty. But lemon blueberry is always a great combo. For my meal I decided on the honey butter chicken biscuit. It was very good. The chicken was seasoned well and juicy. I also ordered the single pancake. Which is huge, fills up an entire large plate. It was not my style of pancake (texture, taste, edges, and size.. its alot of factors that go into it see?). But I took it home nonetheless to eat it later as I was full by then. I'm sure it IS someone's else's favorite type of pancake though, give it a shot. (sometimes size isn't always better) Overall with the cutesy decor feel, and most of the food being yum, and service being fine, great place to enjoy breakfast.
This lil neighborhood cafe handled the morning hustle and bustle like pros Upon entering it was crowded and the seats were nearly full However the line moved fast and to my surprise there was seating available for pme, The Food came out quick and was tasty the service and the staff were great Everyone was super helpful and friendly.
I stopped in cause of. TikTok video I saw. I didn't get the same experience but I was still pleased. I did enjoy the hibiscus honey mimosas. It was refreshing. I also enjoyed the honey butter chicken biscuit. It was a whole chicken thigh fried in between 2 homemade biscuits. I wish it had a little more seasoning but it was ok. I definitely could not finish the serving. It was a lot of food. It's a small quiet cafe. Very peaceful. One restroom and it's shared however kept clean. Staff was friendly but I had to ask for silverware and i received it then had to ask for napkins. I got my food with no napkin or fork. Other than that it was a decent visit
We didn't even the chicken and waffle. They were featuring apple cinnamon pancakes which were amazing. We also had chocolate chip pancakes and breakfast tacos which were also very delicious. This place makes really good breakfast and the prices are very reasonable. Service is also very friendly and it seems like the staff is also very happy. Definitely plan on going back to try their infamous chicken and waffles. 5.
Ever since I randomly found this restaurant in the Heights I've been obsessed. Now that I've moved my go to location is on Bellaire, and it hits! The service is great, attentive, and fast. I always get the veggie scramble with a biscuit. Let me tell you I literally be thinking about that biscuit all the time, it's so good & with the apple cinnamon jam - delicious!! I know it's got to be homemade This is a very casual place and when the weather is nice I enjoy sitting outside which I'm glad is an option. Dandelion Cafe is definitely in my rotation for breakfast.
Visited for brunch around 2pm on a Saturday as a party of 3. Overall, menu has a lot of variety and we appreciated both lunch and breakfast available all day. Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.

The Ice Coffee is so good! I had the ice Coffee with oat milk and the vanilla syrup. They make the oat milk in house and all their syrups. Plus this is a Big Plus they put coffee cubes, so the ice is made of coffee which makes so much sense so when it melts it's not watery. What a brilliant idea! Service is always good very friendly. And the atmosphere is so cozy. I love this place read more

All was great! I return back here for HTX restaurant week in Feb. it was my first time seeing the February htx week. My son and I stop by for a breakfast/brunch which is served the duration of the hours of operation. Customer service was friendly. Food was fulfilling. We both ordered a waffle as a the first course. And second course I order the avocado toast came with an egg. And my son ordered his fav breakfast item, which are breakfast tacos. Water is self served. I really like the large windows with all of the natural lighting. We were the last customers of the day was service was still very friendly. read more

Great selection of coffee,latte, tea and all the condiments you would want think or need. I got the hot Lavender honey latte with oat milk! I also ordered the breakfast sandwich and both were amazing. Quaint seating remind me of coffee shops in New York City. But the atmosphere is nice and easy going(southern charm). Service was quick! Spending about $23 read more
This place is always busy!! It's busy because it's good! This time around I ordered a breakfast sandwich with bacon and avocado. Sure I could make this at home but they make it so much better! Ambiance is always nice! I do feel like they need to expand since seating is always limited but somehow it works or at least another bathroom. All in all nice little spot. Kudos to the staff here because the patrons keep them busy here for sure!! read more
I do not recommend coming here. We came here for brunch which obviously it was super busy. My partner and I had already decided what we wanted to order so I decided to sit down but was told I was not allowed to sit at any table and had to get back in line. Weird... Once we got our food we were basically RUSHED to get up and finish so that others can sit down & eat. Honestly I was so shocked. I understand it's a busy place and there's limited seating but rushing your customers to eat after paying and asking for a tip is weird. The chicken & waffles tasted really good but I truly do not think it's worth dining here. Truly, one of the most unpleasant dinning experiences I've had in a while!! read more

Dandelion café is a small place & when I visited it was superpack & very busy so had to sit outside but luckily it was a nice day out. I see why this spot is popular they have many brunch & lunch options. I ordered the Good Morning America approved 24-hour marinated crispy fried chicken over a cornbread buttermilk waffle topped w/ spicy maple syrup. This is a breakfast favorite which I would recommend because chicken was very juicy just need little more spice. Pancakes are another favorite because they are fluffy and huge one is satisfying for one person read more
I enjoy this restaurant. It's quaint and welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful. I've only had breakfast here but I am sure the lunch items are just as good. This was my second time visiting the restaurant. The first time I had the oatmeal and chicken sausage. The second time I had the honey chicken biscuit. Both are good portions. The oatmeal was creamy and I like that you can get the toppings on the side. The chicken sausage is a patty. It's well seasoned with a little spice which o enjoyed. The biscuit for the chicken biscuit was very thick but it was toasted just to perfection. The chicken was crispy and seasoned well. The honey on top was the "icing on the cake." The restaurant isn't big but the way it's set up and with the atmosphere, people are willing to share their tables and spaces. For the restaurant to not be a coffee shop, it has variety of ways you can order your coffee. The coffee is also really good. I got a caramel latte with oat milk. This location isn't near me but I'd make the drive to get out of my area. read more

I've heard great things about Dandelion Cafe, and the rumors are true. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the lemon blueberry French toast. It's a little tight inside and there's some construction going on outside, but I wouldn't let that deter me. I will definitely be back to try some other dishes too. read more
DC is alright for brunch with me. Came her on a wekday late morning around 11am to catch up with my cousin friend. We didn't want to be in lenghty lines waiting for a meal but wanted something different and out of the ordinary to eating at a national chain restaurant. After a couple of days searching and looking at menus, I found Dandelion Cafe to be a good choice. They offer a variety of menu items that a bruncher like me appreciates because sometimes its hard to choose between a pancake and a sandwich until you get to the restaurant. I'm really trying to keep my protein consistent, so I decided to partake of the Dandy Classic which has eggs your way, a choice of protein (which I decided would be bacon), hasbrowns, jam, and choice of toast (I got the gluten free toast). My cousin opted to get the strawberries and cream french toast which was massive portion wise. It would have been my choice as well but not enough protein- I'mcarb sensitive and that big pile of bread would have made me fall asleep at the cafe! Ordering was simple and straight forward and we were given a table number for our entrees. However, it was not explained that we picked up our beverages from the counter. So my brunchmate's name was called out for that part of the order which was cool- just didn't know since this was our first time there. Entrees were delivered to our table in less than 10 minutes. Food was fresh. Loved the hashbrowns as they were not over salted. Bacon was crunchy and meaty. Toast was not overtoasted and extremely crunchy. The gluten free bread was surpringly not very different from any other sliced bread I've had. I wonder what brand they use??? I enjoyed the jam that came wity my dish as well as it was not overly sweet. You could tell it was homemade. My least fav was the coffee. It was bitter. I had to drop in some sugar with my cream which I havent had to do in a long time. Sitting outside to dine was great for us because we had enough privacy to have a conversation and not having to talk over others if we had been inside DC. Crew member came by once to check on us while we dined and once more to clear dishes off the table. Decent price points and variety of dishes with big portions is what you'll enjoy here. Don't wait to read another review to decide to try it. read more
Yum! Another great brunch place! Me and my cousin were in the area at a nearby bakery and were looking for a coffee shop or brunch spot! I found dandelion cafe through Yelp and knew it would be good when saw the good reviews!! From the second we got in, we picked up the menu and as a vegetarian I was searching! I wasn't in the mood for something sweet. I saw the tostada or Mexican nachos and liked yummy. I also don't eat eggs so brunch can be tricky w but sometimes. I also got myself a mango smoothie. It's an order and sit type of place. Then someone will bring you your food. On a Saturday morning around 11:30am it was packed!! Outdoors and indoors! When I found an open seat I decided I would sit and my cousin can order for us but the manager I think came up to us and let us know to order first so they go in order which I thought was fair. While we waited for the smoothies the manager found us a seat outside- and the food came quickly!! The tostada were surprisingly very good!! The black bean purée was seasoned so well! The salsa wasn't spicy but flavorful!! Everything was delicious! The staff was friendly and I would definetly go back to try something else!! Highly recommend!! read more

The interior is welcoming and the service is friendly. For the food: 1) veggie omelette - the omelette was delicious with a nice balance of flavors. I appreciated the creaminess the feta added. I would order again. 2) chicken and waffles - I appreciate riffs on traditional food, this riff had a flavored butter and chicken that was seasoned similar to Indian chicken. The food was well cooked, but I will not order it again given the flavor profile. Overall, I will come back to try other things on the menu. The miss on the waffles and chicken profile knocked it from a 5 star to a 4 star review. read more

I recently visit Dandelion Cafe on a Friday morning. The cafe was quite busy for a week day but the service was quick and friendly. Walking in you are welcomed to a floral garden like themed cozy place to eat. The golden milk latte was delicious and the agua fresca was very refreshing and hydrating. We shared the black bean tostadas which was a delicious breakfast option if you want to try something Tex-Mex. The menu included a variety of American style breakfast options which I would like to go back and try next time! I'd definitely return and try other drinks and foods! read more
My favorite breakfast cafe for pancake... nationwide. I've never been a big fan of pancakes growing up but Dandelion Cafe changed my mind, unless my taste bud changed. You can get it plain or get as much topic as your heart desired for an extra $2.50 per topics (strawberries, blueberries, banana, chocolate chips). I love how they incorporate it into the pancake batter and not just on top. And it's HUGE - bigger than my face! Anyways, I highly recommend one to share or for yourself. Lox bagel was just okay for me but it's a nice option to have. Bagel was a tad tough and unfortunately, no caper, which I think goes nicely with any lox bagel. Blueberry lemon french toast is great for those who are craving for sweet. The lemon sauce just tops the sliced French toast. No maple syrup needed. Iced latte was okay, I prefer a much stronger expresso taste. Orange juice is just OJ where you can get anywhere. Utensils, napkins, cups of water are by the door. If this is your first time here, you grab a menu, make your order at the register and they will give you a table number, you go choose your table/seats, grab your utensils and complimentary water and wait for your food. Leave your plates at the table, the bust boys will come out to clean as soon as your butt is off the chair. This place gets pretty crowded on the weekends and for good reasons! read more
This is a while in the wall in the Bellaire neighborhood. A great place to go but be warned it is extremely popular and there is always a crowd and small sitting area. But the wait is totally worth the food and services the masters always friendly and helpful. I have had their breakfast sandwich which was delicious. I had also ordered their egg sandwich and club sandwich, both solid orders and well made. Quaint place with good service but they are busy so keep that in mind. Although they are busy, their service is still awesome, just be patient. read more

Dandy Omelet is delicious. Skippy side of hash browns with an $18 price. Hot sauce is really spicy and delicious! The chilaquiles were very good with salsa mild but tasty. Coffee is amazing and really expensive. Nice place but really expensive for casual dining. Definitely worth trying out. read more
This is a nice brunch and lunch spot! A friend and I stopped by for a weekday lunch. I was curious to try the bagel and lox, while she opted for the blueberry lemon curd French toast stix. Our servers were prompt and quite attentive. Our food came out quickly and we were excited to dig in! I found my dish was presented quite well, but it was a pretty average bagel and lox. The bagel was a bit hard, though the lox was fresh and tasty. I liked that they gave the toppings on the side, including the capers, so you could decide how much you wanted. I had a bite of my friend's French toast and it was heavenly! The lemon curd is fantastic and the flavor pairing is wonderful. She mentioned she visits Dandelion very often just for this dish! I would return for brunch here though I would probably just order the French toast stix. The cafe has ample parking and is a nice spot for studying, meeting with friends or family. read more

We were meeting a cousin for brunch and the restaurant that we initially chose had a really long line, and I'm not the type to wait to eat. So we found Dandelion Cafe as an alternative, and what a nice find. We ordered the Chicken & Waffles; the Dandy Classic; and the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Everyone enjoyed their entree. The service was fast and friendly. The food was hot. This is a good casual breakfast spot. read more
