Cosmic cafe
Sounds like a great spot to visit before a show at Dan’s Silverleaf! Ross’ ice cream is made with either oat milk or coconut milk, and comes in flavors like matcha and monk fruit, rum raisin and blue spirulina. Appropriately called Iconic Vegan Cafe, the new Hickory Street spot will offer plant-based versions of sushi and… ice cream? That’s the word from CultureMap, anyway, which notes that chef Otis Ross began selling vegan sushi and ice cream out of two different trucks at the end of 2018, and that he’ll be merging those two notions with his first ever brick-and-mortar store. Up Denton way, meanwhile, an altogether brand new café opening later this year will be offering two iconic treats. At the new dinner service, diners will be able to enjoy dishes like a hearty meatloaf, a red snapper dish, chicken and dumplings and more. Although the phrase “farm-to-table” is generally overused, many of Garden Cafe’s dishes utilize herbs, spices and vegetables grown on their own property’s backyard garden. At least some of that spirit will live on in the building’s future, as its next tenant will be a wellness center called Sun Yoga Center that will be celebrating its own opening on November 6.Īvoiding a similar fate to Cosmic Café is East Dallas’ own cherished Garden Café, which the Dallas Morning News reports is emerging from the pandemic with some new tricks up its sleeve - including dinner service, and beer and wine offerings. Initially opened as the Cosmic Cup, the charming spot was co-founded by the late Wes Anderson film character actor Kumar Pallana, and it hosted yoga classes and Buddhist meditations in addition to serving food. There’s a lot to sip on in this week’s food and drink news roundup!įor one thing, CultureMap broke the news this afternoon that Cosmic Café, the beloved Oak Lawn destination for Indian and vegetarian dining, will be closing its doors for good on October 17 after a more than 25-year run in its colorful space.
