Dandelion Cafe - Bellaire

Ordered the chicken and waffles. Chicken were boneless chicken thighs , tons of flavor. The waffle was good too. Great service. Everyone there was very polite.

Updated: It took a bit but they are back to the Dandelion cafe we know and love- food tasty, fresh, from scratch- it is a gem! Dandelion cafe as we knew it is gone- it used to be magic because of their quality fresh local ingredients and made from scratch approach on top of excellent management, even if this resulted in higher prices than other places, it was our weekly go to brunch cafe, and sometimes got take out for an early dinner. We are so sad that it has so deteriorated in quality. There has been a substantial change lately affecting almost all corner stones of their business and after our third time with even more bad food changes we will not return at least for a while. It started with them being out of Strawberries at 10am. Then a week or so later they were out of half of their dishes by 10am. Now they solved it by changing ingredients and the portion size- all the magic Dandelion had is gone. The strawberry french toast was my daughters favorite. They literally are slicing the toast in half, giving half of the strawberry cream and cut out the fresh strawberries that topped them entirely- not only does this reduce the amount of food, but a thin floppy unshapely french toast cooks entirely different and tastes entirely different compared to a luscious thick home made slice of brioche that is cooked to perfection with a creamy custardy center and fresh strawberries on top as it used to be. They exchanged the tasty seeded wheat toast that had poppy seeds with some generic tasteless seeded wheat. I do not know what they changed about the drinks (which were brought in 3 takes as they kept on forgetting one or another) but the Tropicana- which used to be nothing but fresh Strawberry Bananas and coconut water -tasted like it was made from powder. The Chai which I previously longed for is undrinkable and super sweet, when previously was made unsweetened. All of us threw our drinks out after a couple of sips- so it 's not one person or one drink change. The tortilla 's of the Taco 's changed, and so did the eggs. left off the beens that we paid $2.5 extra for, but more importantly were integral to the taco. I have not seen the regular manager around lately, so not sure if it is new owner or new management that is making these horrible decisions, but every single change that was made is VERY noticeable and results in a sub-bar food product that lacks any desirability and is entirely overpriced for what it is. We never complained about the prices as we appreciate the quality food any day over portion size or price, but this is not it. Most importantly, we want our Dandelion cafe back!!!! Hopefully this can be taken as constructive criticism that is taken to heart!

Always amazing food, great portions. Easy parking and beautifully decorated for the holiday

This is a real hidden brunch spot. I had banana Pancakes, scrambled eggs, and maple sausage with vanilla mimosas. It was really good. Taste similar to Moscato.

Cute place, would love to see real plants instead. The food is a tad bit over priced but again its a cute place
