Cute but slightly chaotic decor. Came here for lunch and enjoyed their $3 mimosa all day special. Also enjoyed their all day breakfast options. Service was nice. Coffee was great. Strawberry mimosa made with fresh strawberries! The blueberry lemon French toast sticks were fantastic. Only problem was that they came out about 15 min before the other meal my dining partner ordered. We just shared like an appetizer (highly recommended). The chicken &waffles is worth the hype, best I've had in town and maybe ever. Will def be back!

I finally got time to write this review . I went to this amazing small coffee shop that server breakfast food called dandelion cafe . The place is small but the service and staff were super friendly and amazing. We heard the hype about this place for their chicken and waffle so I went to give it a try and I promise it did not disappoint at all! It was the best chicken and waffles ever! It was different and unique . Let me say this . This is not your ordinary waffle this waffle was made out of corn bread and top off with this amazing compound butter that has a hit of hot sauce to it . However the fried chicken was the show ! The most flavorful and juiciest chicken I ever had . 10/10 I would recommend coming here for the chicken and waffle and it's a small place so it gets busy fast !

We have been coming here for years and still love it! It definitely gets very busy on the weekends and it can be hard to find a table for a big party during brunch. Everything we have had on the menu has been great! My go to is the chilaquiles and a pancake!

Dandelion was on the list and they happened to be open on Mondays unlike another spot we were considering for a late Breakfast. They do get busy so we were expecting a wait and pleasantly surprised as there were a couple of tables open around 11:30. A smaller, cozy spot decorated with hanging plants. Order at the counter and find a table. Our food came out in a timely manner. Cappuccino and Drip Coffee were strong and tasty. We ordered their signature dish (GMA's best breakfast choice in Houston) Chicken and Waffles-the twist of the boneless chicken (marinated in Chorizo/Creole spices ) with cornbread/buttermilk waffles didn't disappoint. BYO Omelette with Spinach, Mushrooms and Feta was delicious-roasted hash browns are not to be missed. Strawberries and Cream French Toast was closer to a dessert. Those with a sweet tooth will love this one. Service at the counter was friendly and upbeat. It looked like they were working on an expansion? We'll be watching and will be back!

I know this spot has been stated to have better chicken and waffles than the breakfast club so it's been on my list. For me to give 5 stars on the day that the AC was out..then you know the food was good! The pancake was amazing...the middle was sooo soft and good. The Veggie omelet was amazing. I don't know what they cook those mushrooms im but they are great. The bacon was om point! I didn't have anything negative say. It was sooo good!

Made famous by GMA, the Dandelion Cafe located in Houston TX, serves a mean chicken and waffles in busy cafe-like setting. It has a small selection of breakfast items, large selection of drinks, and friendly service. They are deservedly proud of their homemade items. The four of us (two visitors, two locals) came just before lunchtime on a Wednesday, and the cafe was still fairly busy. Thus the dedicated parking lot was pretty full, and there were definitely people waiting for spots. We did find a spot close to the front. Once you enter, you stand in line to place and pay for your order (if line is long, you can grab a laminated menu to plan out your order while wiating), then find a table to sit at (they gently remind you not to reserve tables before placing your order and people did follow instructions). There were empty places to sit (just had to stack used plates from the previous occupants so we didn't have to wait). The food will be brought out to you as each dish is ready. Chef JC's award winning chicken and waffles ($19.99) - 3 fried chicken boneless thighs, sitting on top of a cornmeal waffle, and compound butter scoop. This was the order for three of us, and everyone except me really liked it. I thought the chicken was very crispy with good coating, but the meat was dry...that's the price you pay for using boneless chicken (even dark meat) and you shouldn't use syrup to alleviate. The waffle was very soft, and started to disintegrate after pouring on the syrup. This is a dish that goes best by preparing each bite separately, rather than just mixing everything together at the beginning. Dandy Chicken Chilaquiles ($14.99) - made with eggs their way...the picture on the menu showed sunny side (runny) so was expecting that, but mine came scrambled (expertly done, very fluffy). It's a beautiful looking dish. Especially liked the eggs and avocado on top, and the salsa tasted freshly made. The chips seemed homemade, nice and thick, definitely made from a good corn tortilla. We got a couple of sides, just to try it out. Homemade maple sausage ($3.99) - two smashed thin patties. It had a distinctive pleasant flavor, and used a bit of fennel. The homemade hashbrowns ($2.99) was delicious and crisp,,,colored yellow instead of white, so assuming they used yellow potatoes (to make it clear that it's not from frozen) instead of the typical russet. Service is a combination of self serve and food brought to your table: water is self serve near the door with plastic reusable glasses, and this is where you can pick up utensils and napkins as well. Everyone at the cafe was pleasant, doing their job, and it was a nice mix of people ordering, talking and eating, right in the heart of Houston.

This place was plenty busy for Saturday brunch but it's run like a well oiled machine so everything moved smoothly. You order at the counter and get your seat and I love that they have a big sign telling you to order before grabbing a seat. My pet peeve is when people "save" tables before ordering because it messes up the flow when it's busy. We both tried the frozen lemonade - one strawberry mint (4/5) and one blueberry (5/5). Although both were refreshing, the blueberry cut the tartness of the lemonade just right. It was a bit warm inside from all the people but it wasn't intolerable, especially with a frozen drink. Although there was always someone in line, there was an open table for each party and I didn't see anyone waiting for a table. They have a ton of people behind the counter and kitchen so orders moved fast. Also a couple people working the floor cleaning tables immediately. I ordered the famous chicken and waffles (5/5) and found it worthy of the hype. The chicken was just the right crisp but more importantly it was juicy and flavorful! The waffle held up the crisp and fluffiness and loved that they had self serve sauce cups of syrup instead of jugs of sticky syrup containers! The spicy maple butter was also something new I hadn't seen before. We also tried the Blueberry Lemon Curd French Toast Stix (5/5) - this is not something I've seen anywhere else. I'm generally not a fan of bread, but gosh this was good. A little on the sweet side, so I could probably only eat 1-2 stix, but the blueberry and lemon curd were a great pairing. Most items seemed home/housemade and the drink menu was extensive/impressive. Definitely worth another visit!

We tried this place last Sunday. I like how you have to order at the counter and then look for a table to be seated. Their pancakes are so moist and delicious. They reminded me of my grandmother's. Not sure if they have a bit of cornmeal but they sure did taste like they did. I also ordered a lox bagel but they forgot to put it on my tab so offered something else since they ran out. I opted for a soft scrambled egg and it was just to my liking. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. We thought the waffle was a little dry. Nonetheless, we will be back for the pancakes!
