Dandelion Cafe at Rice University is a hidden gem nestled inside the Ralph S. O’Connor Building. 🌼 The atmosphere is casual, perfect for a quick brunch or lunch. I stopped in for the famed fried chicken club, and wow - it exceeded my expectations!

The service is exceptional and fast, making it ideal for busy students.

While the coffee could use a little refining - my husband loved his hazelnut oat milk latte! ☕ I also enjoyed the flavorful portobello sandwich.

If you're on campus, don’t miss this delightful spot! Just remember, they’re closed on weekends. 😊
