Urban Teahouse, Eco-Attitude.
What better way to describe Dandelion Communitea Cafe than the term it has coined for itself, "Urban Teahouse, Eco-Attitude." Located on Thorton Ave., Dandelion has become a place for hipsters to sip tea and play drums. It's where some meet up for a Sunday evening bike ride (Dandelion gives free tea to bicyclists on Sundays) and where others sit to pass the time.
What makes Dandelion so great you ask?
Well, for one, the food is delicious (and all organic/locally grown) and for two, the house is just so darn cute. Proud "mom & pop" co-owners Julie Norris and Chris Blanc have managed to turn each of the four downstairs rooms of the house/restaurant into a place for you to eat and local artists to showcase their work. Plus, they managed to fit a kitchen somewhere in there too--CRAZY!
Now, I have a few friends who work there, and they all tell me the Giddyup is the house favorite. I can totally understand, considering it is my favorite menu item as well. A hodge-podge of vegetarian chili, greens, blue chips, cheese, tomatoes and scallions. It's up to you if you want to "roll it" or "bowl it." I prefer to "roll it."
If you were hoping for something more comforting than chili, I would suggest a Happy Hempy Hummus starter and a Fluffer Nutter sandwich with a cup of organic tea. Mmmhmmm.
The great thing about Dandelion is if you're ever bored just stop on by--there's always something going on, but on the off chance their isn't, it won't matter; with a staff as friendly as Dandelion's you'll never feel lonely.
Dandelion is open Monday- Saturday, 8am-11pm and Sundays, 8am- 9pm.
