    Patrick Michels So it's yogurt. And it tastes pretty good. What you want to call this? We've been here before. The bright lights and pastel walls, the plastic furniture and frozen yogurt. Dim the lights, pad the chairs and crank up a smooth-jazz Stones cover over the roar of the espresso machine, and it'll all look pretty familiar The new wave yogurt invasion is in full swing here in Dallas, and like the coffee house culture bomb 20 years ago, it's built on a vaguely foreign food ritual and

  • Mmmm, 7-Eleven Now Has Its Very Own Brand of Beef Jerky

    From the sound of this morning's announcement, Dallas-based 7-Eleven has decided that sooner or later, everything in the joint will be branded with the brand name. Three months ago, word was the convenience store chain was expanding into the Jamaican beef patties business -- which was fine with a handful of Friends for whom a 7-Eleven lunch beats a 'Bucks snack attack. Today, 7-Eleven's going Private Label, selling 32 items --  among them such items as cookies, nuts, potato chips, beef jerk

  • At Your Fave Starbucks, the Holiday Season Just Got a Little Grinchier

    Those local Starbucks targeted for shuttering over the summer are still open -- dunno for how long, though, as the Seattle-based coffeeteria stages the closings in waves. ("Could be any time," says one Lower Greenville barista.) And, more bad news, as it looks like Starbucks won't rake in the big bucks this holiday season -- something to do with "weakness," to which we can relate.So, as you wait in line for a cup of Christmas Blend at your neighborhood Starbucks, you'll likely find yourself, "Go

    Dallas just got a new coffee house, and it's a jewel. Well, more like an irritating piece of grit that someone molded into a jewel. The Pearl Cup Espresso Bar & Coffee Shop, the latest on the local independent java scene, opened this month on the still renovating side of North Henderson Avenue. The space is what you'd expect in a modern coffee bar: sleek, but accented with enough brick and wood to conjure beatnik ghosts, as well as displays by local artists. A long bar gets you close to t

  • Grounded In Italy

    Nancy Krabill, owner of Snider Plaza's gourmet shop Flavors From Afar, took off for Italy late last fall. And what she brought back from Trieste was much better than a silly t-shirt...and we consider any tee from Italy that doesn't say "Juventus" a waste. But that's an aside. Krabill returned from her jaunt with two new rare coffee beans...by which I mean a lot of two different styles of bean.She doesn't sell coffee brewed from these exotic grounds. Nope--using the same business model as those

    Sarah JaffeTonight, my favorite indie espresso bar in Dallas' kicks off the first of its formal concert series with an appropriately established-sounding title: "The Pearl Cup Presents: An Evening with Sarah Jaffe." A text this afternoon informs that it'll just be "Sarah and her geetar." No frills.Ticket are  $22--which, sure, is $10 more than I've ever paid to catch Jaffe--but I remember being immensely perturbed with the Dallas-esque audience the last time I caught one of her sets in Dent

    In case you didn't get the memo, Oak Cliff is the city's hot dining destination. Really. Need proof? It's home to some of the most buzzy restaurants in town (Bolsa, Spiral Diner, the Belmont Hotel) and the Bishop Arts District--a buzz that extends to include shopping, attitude and more. Its Greenwich Village-esque anti-mall, attracts crowds of adventurous suburbanites and Uptown faux hipsters alike. It's even got an insider nickname: call it the "OC" if you want to be in the newbie club, "

  • Veggie Girl: Crooked Tree Coffeehouse

    My first introduction to a cucumber sandwich was sometime back in the mid-1990s, when I was a young teenager on some kind of church or tennis trip to the Deep South. Somewhere between Georgia and Louisiana, which might be Alabama, I remember stopping in a tiny town where the air hung thick around the ancient, mossy trees and reverberated with the incessant buzz of overzealous cicadas. In a little yellow cottage with a wrap-around porch, there was an old lady serving cold lemonade and cucumber s

  • Veggie Guy: The Pearl Cup

    ​There's no denying that Dallas can be sorta cliquish. If you're wearing the right shoes (or Tweeting from the hottest gadget), you might break into a particular crowd. Sure, the bar scene can be different. Hand someone a stiff drink, and you could find your BFF for the night. But if you're a regular guy walking into a coffee shop, be prepared to sip alone. When Rita Davis and Carlene Saelg moved to Dallas in 2007, they found it difficult to adapt to our city's special brand of welcoming sn
