Owner Omar Zuniga offers stick-to-your-ribs grub (even the vegetarian options) to a customer base that skews towards the hipster, the scenester and the coffee-loving conversationalist, all of whom are attracted to the classy retro-diner feel and the hearty food. In other words, it's a lively, busy joint, particularly for those who enjoy a free wi-fi hookup with their over-easy eggs. The stuffed crepes and eggs are popular here and include variations such as Hare Krishna (egg whites) and the hearty Bluto, which comes with chorizo, onion, bacon, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, poblano and cheddar. The roll-your-own breakfast burritos are also hits, available in such whimsical names as the Mr. C, which has chorizo. Coffee is self-serve. And the place is always jumping, thanks in part to theme nights like open-mic and trivia nights.

Suburbanites looking for an alternative to that pesky frappuccino-hawking mermaid ought to give Coffee House Cafe a shot.

Coffeehouse, Tea, Recommended, Best Of

Cultivar Coffee, which shares a space with Goodfriend Package, serves up some of the best coffee in town. As any good roaster knows, roasting coffee is a blend of art and science in a process that requires skill and a bit of intuition. As they inform their customers on the site: "During the roasting process, countless chemical reactions are transforming the natural sugars and lipids in the bean; unlocking many potential flavors in order to highlight the unique flavor characteristics found within each coffee." So, you don't want roasters who are just setting a timer and waiting for a ding. You want people who are constantly experimenting and looking for unique flavor notes and who can tweak the roast to bring out the perfect flavor of the bean. Just surf on over to Cultivar's website to learn more about their beans and business philosophy.

Fred's Texas Café has been around since 1978 serving spectacular food, beer and live music, but lately it might seem a little out of place. A few years back, the cultural district was developed into shiny, new upscale wine bars and theaters. An offer was made to buy the land under Fred's and turn it into a parking lot. Fred said no. And anyone who likes local Texas music over a plate of nachos and a beer is grateful. It's not exactly a honky-tonk, but the numerous cattle brand symbols covering the wall and the fenced performance space out back definitely let you know you're in Texas.

Happy Lemon

169 N. Plano Rd. Richardson & Vicinity

Taiwanese, Cafe, Tea

Happy Lemon, a Taiwan-based boba tea company, is famous for bubble teas, citrusy teas and slushies, as well as bubble waffles and salted cheese drinks. The menu is extensive and complicated for someone with no experience in cheese drinks, ice and sugar ratios, or boba, but in our experience the staff is super helpful with explaining it. We started with black tea with salted cheese. The verdict? This was some of the best stuff sipped in a long time. The salted cheese sat atop the tea much like whipped cream would, or a foam, and had a similar texture. We alternated between just sucking it down with the straw at the bottom of the glass, and moving the straw within the delightful cheese foam to get an extremely satisfying mixture of the tea and cheese. It was surprising in a good way. Other salted cheese options include green tea, chocolate smoothie, roast tea, matcha latter, dragon fruit and mango. Be sure to save room (or make a run for) their bubble waffles. We selected two original (plain not flavored batter) waffles, one with and one without boba, and opted for a puff cream dipping sauce. Oh man. This was so good we immediately regretted not ordering more (other flavors/fillings include matcha, chocolate, red bean, or Oreo). The waffles were perfectly cooked and warm, not too sweet, with a delicate texture. The air pocket bubbles presented a lovely mouth feel as well as the perfect location to house the boba. They also offer a slew of other beverages including milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, yakult and classic brewed teas. They have a large list of toppings that can be added to any of the teas such as boba, grass jelly, red bean, taro balls, puff cream or passion fruit seeds as well.

Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 percent less fat than typical ice cream. Try up to three flavors in your cup or cone, from crowd pleasers like stracciatella (that’s a fancy way of saying chocolate chip), pistachio, and Mediterranean sea-salt caramel to more intriguing flavors like bubblegum, rose and beer sorbet. There’s also at least one soy-based flavor on offer every day, for you poor lactose-intolerant folk.

Some of the best tea in the DFW area-sold by the cup or in bulk for home brewing-and the best tisane. What the hell is tisane? Well, the roots, bark and herbs are used to make tea around the world. The kitchen leans toward old home-style dishes, emphasizing the cooking of moms who had to stretch a budget: meatloaf, salmon cakes, corn casseroles and that sort of thing. As a restaurant, it's a page out of the 1970s.
