Dandelion Cafe Rice University

First opened in 2016 as a coffee shop, Dandelion Cafe has expanded into a Black-owned restaurant serving a wide breakfast and lunch menu. Offerings include brunch staples such as chicken and waffles, buttermilk pancakes, chilaquiles, and smoothies alongside high-end coffee. The setup accommodates both sit-down dining and takeout, with visitors generally praising the morning classics and coffee drinks even as individual savory items occasionally draw mixed notes.
