Food that strengthens the heart typically does little for the soul, and vice versa. Fortunately for you, both types can be found on Dandelion's concise yet diverse blackboard menu. Generous and colorful salads or sandwiches? Yes. Items that are already vegan, or gluten-free without modification? Of course. Inventive smoothies organized by flavor or function? Check.
Well okay then. How about buttermilk pancakes with berries, chocolate chips, or just plain? Yes, and they are frikkin awesome. Side o'bacon? Sure! They also have good strong coffee, the standard array of quality espresso drinks and baked goods, a decent tea selection, and you know that if they are going to do all of that then they can't not have Topo Chico in glass bottles, and sure enough they don't. (By which I mean they do!)
All this awesomeness is crammed into a little storefront cafe in the same shopping center as Yoga One on Bellaire. It can be tricky to find a table as seating is limited, but this seems to improve the atmosphere and flow of movement around the room.
