Cosmic Cafe Reopens

Word comes from the Eats blog that Cosmic Cafe is open once again. A call confirms it’s their first day back. (They’ve been closed for months due to a fire.) I’ve called the restaurant a handful of times since February hoping to hear this news.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m no vegetarian, but I really enjoy this place. So go today and have a cup of their Chai Tea and forget about the weather. Then go back on Friday (when it’s sunny) and enjoy lunch on the porch.

Lets just hope they took the time to improve their parking lot…

Spiral Diner: Now in Oak Cliff

I just got around to visiting the new Spiral Diner in Oak Cliff. If you’re not familiar, it’s a diner done vegan style. You can get all the basics: burgers, sammiches, breakfast, except all the animal products are replaced with plant substitutes. I’m no vegan, but I can still appreciate the fare. (One of my favorite Chinese joints is all vegan. No worrying about “mystery meat” and it feels healthy, even if it’s a huge plate of Kung Pao.)

The original location is still in Ft. Worth and has quite a following. This location is at Beckley Ave & Zang, which is only about 5-6 miles from Oak Lawn.

I’ll be back to try breakfast before I put my $0.02 in (I had lunch this time.) But if you go, be sure to try the Agave Limeade.
