Dandelion Cafe
611 W 22nd St, Houston, TX
Crema's Take
“Dandelion Cafe is a bustling neighborhood gathering spot where locals linger over carefully crafted cold brews and specialty drinks, paired with solid breakfast fare like their standout egg sandwiches and chicken and waffles. The vibe is warm and unhurried—think Saturday mornings filled with friend groups and families claiming the pleasant outdoor seating—though fair warning that the coffee pricing runs on the premium side. What keeps people coming back is the genuine hospitality of the staff and that rare quality of feeling like a place where you're meant to slow down and stay awhile.”

We went on a Saturday it was packed. There were lost of large parties meeting here today. This was our first time visiting but I am sure it's normally this busy. The food came out quickly after we ordered at the front counter. If it's busy there will be a wait. They do have outdoor seating if the weather permits and a indoor dining area. I would love to visit during the week. The wait in line, the busy dining area kinda took away from my overall experience. The parking is some what limited. Street parking is available however it was limited they day we went due to construction on the road way. The food was fresh, the presentation was wonderful. I will be back!
I love their egg sandwich and coffee options. Definitely try some of their cold pressed juices. The staff is very friendly. Nice outdoors seating.
This is my second time eating at dandelion cafe. It was awesome! The first time I went I had the chicken and waffles and It was good. However, at my most recent visit, I had the BLTA and the brown sugar latte and they were marvelous. The BLTA was a little bit garlic-y but it was still delicious. My boyfriend had the honey butter chicken biscuit. He said the chicken was very good. He said the sandwhich itself was a little tall so he had to take it apart.
Second time going to Dandelion Cafe and definitely won’t be my last!! The food was amazing the service was great and the staff were very helpful explaining the menu items and deals of the day. We went and the had half off mimosas and smoothies. The mimosas are strong and definitely worth the brunch experience. The food was hot and fresh. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. Definitely would recommend for a quick eat or a casual brunch.
Decent spot with very friendly staff and clean this 1st visit. Beautiful location but sad to see local shop Kraftsman baking is no longer here. Prices for food seem fine. Coffee prices are very high. 8oz cup is $4.50, 16 oz is $5.50. if you want them to give you a porcelain cup it is is $6 for bottomless. Despite very friendly helpful staff doing their best it still had a bit of a commercialized feel to it, and they got my order wrong (no worries here if just once. Notice my service rating is still 5 stars). That or the maple sausage has a southwestern green chilis type mash in or something not maple like at all. Certainly whatever sausage they gave me felt like it was on the more frugal side in terms of quality but it was honestly fine just not maple in any way whatsoever lol...not bad you know but not high quality which honestly is a fair trade for the price of the sandwich which was $11 for a pretty decent sized, well prepared breakfast sandwich with deliver to your table service. Overall three stars because the coffee price essentially reflects price gouging. Otherwise it would have been a solid four. Admittedly, I'll probably still return and slowly enjoy my $5 8 oz to go cup coffee with gratitude since I love the location! Pour one out for Kraftsman. Will have to go check out their apparent new location in EADO!
