Thank goodness for friends who enjoy trying new places as much as I do! Remedy has been on my list for quite some time, so I’m glad I finally got the chance to check it out!
During weekdays, it’s relatively quiet. It’s tucked in Lower Greenville between Steel City Pops and HG Supply Co. On weekends, it’s recommended to reserve seats during brunch hour! They have this awesome wall where the bar has a back-lit sign and shelves containing liquor that slide. Atmosphere is an element in the dining experience that I really consider when eating out, and it reminded me of going to a diner in the 20s.
Remedy offers their brunch menu throughout the week (always a plus!), and I was craving their Hot Chicken and Waffles. Despite the fact I’m not the biggest trooper of spicy things, I still thought it was delicious! The chicken was tender, but not too dry. It complemented the waffles well (then again, chicken and waffles are perfect together). The serving portions are amazing. After finishing, I was to the point where I was full, but not bloated.
My friend, Megan, and I also tried their hand-crafted sodas. It’s fun to try, but I’m not the biggest fan. They were served with colorful paper straws and vibrantly colored which was too cute not to take pictures of.
Remedy is the perfect brunch spot to get together with a couple friends. It’s bold approach to comfort food and flavors makes it a place to come back to. Their menu is broad to order something that suits what you like to eat. It’s fairly priced for brunch places in Dallas, and serving portions are well-portioned. They also have great service, and it’s a great place to take pictures of the place (and the food!)

A little taste of France located in Inwood Village of Dallas. I had the chance of visiting this eccentric little bistro specializing in French soufflés and wines. I had heard great things about their soufflés, and a friend really wanted to go and try them, so we seized the opportunity to do so!
It’s recommended to make reservations in advance if you want to dine in; It gets busy during lunch and dinner hours. My friends and I went around 6:30, and it was a 45 minute wait to be seated! Luckily, there were seats at the bar with a perfect view of the chefs whipping the ingredients and watching the soufflés rise in the oven (some of them were jokingly asking me to take their picture).
The restaurant inside is pretty dimly lit, so I couldn’t get enough pictures of rise inside. However, the decorations added to the charm of the place. The recycled French tableware and accessories (not to mention the bistro chairs) made it a great environment to enjoy a piece of authentic French cuisine and savor the experience. Il est magnifique!
The soufflé texture was little getting use to, but overall, I’m pretty impressed! It’s light and fluffy and easily melts in your melt (the blueberry’s my favorite). It’s sweet, but not overwhelmingly to the point where your stomach gets sick. The one little drawback I have is that for a dessert soufflé at $12 it can be a bit pricey. However, I don’t think that price should stop anyone from enjoying food, let alone this French delicacy.
Cultivar recently opened a storefront off Jefferson Blvd. and Madison Ave. in Oak Cliff in addition to their coffee bar in East Dallas. The space is airy and spacious enough to get some studying done or to get a group of friends together. Their hours are great for coffee shops in Dallas since they open 9:00/10:00 during the weekdays in comparison to 7:00 pm for most coffee shops around here. One caveat to this place is that parking can be a bit tricky to find. However, their coffee and great space makes up for it.
Tucked along Davis and Tyler on the outskirts of the Bishop Arts District, Davis St. Espresso is a staple place to go in Dallas. Not only the coffee is great, but the atmosphere is divine! There is some seating inside, but there’s plenty of outdoor seating with a stationary bus and a beautifully lettered mural by local artist Kyle Steed around the corner. It’s an Insta-worthy spot, and the baristas are super friendly and knowledgeable about their coffee!
Tucked in the hustle and bustle of Downtown Dallas, Weekend Coffee is a beautiful little place inside the Joule Hotel. It’s an aesthetically hip place with the cutest Coffee sign (as seen above). The hotel also has neighboring concept stores that are always nice to check out. Not to mention, they have some great coffee too!
I have yet to order their pressed drinks, but after hearing how great the place is, I went to check it out with my sister! One half of the store sells pressed juice, while the other half sells coffee and tea drinks. I love the open space it has to display artwork and products from local artists. The outside is just as lovely with a small patio and a wall lined with succulents. You can even order your drink outside at the window! Seating is limited, but it is a great space to check out if passing by.
In addition to their puffle cones, what gives Cauldron the edge in the ice cream realm is their use of liquid nitrogen. This concept is perfected in Cali; basically, they combine heavy cream, egg yolk, the flavoring, and liquid nitrogen and mix the ice cream in front of you! It’s super cool to watch the ice cream go from nothing to something in a matter of minutes. Liquid nitrogen is the future of ice cream.
I’m a big earl grey and lavender fan, so I decided to give the flavor a shot. Hands down, it’s my all-time favorite! If Cauldron decides to sell their ice cream by the pint, I would be their first customer because it is delicious. The lavender is not too floral-y, and it doesn’t overpower the earl grey . The drizzled honey on top adds the right amount of sweetness to it. The presentation is another story. It’s flawless, nothing I’ve ever seen before. I LOVE it!
This place is worth the hype. Despite the high price point of $6 for the puffle cone, Cauldron is the future of ice cream. It’s aesthetically-pleasing presentation from the beginning to end: the liquid nitrogen, the ice cream scoop in the shape of a flower, the store itself, easily makes this shop an ice cream novelty.
THE JOYFUL DINER
