HALCYON (hal-see-yon): Adj. – Peaceful, Carefree, Untroubled, Prosperous

Coffeehouse by day, bar & lounge by night where you can always relax and find your own personal “halcyon”.

A new Dallas cafe that took over Cafe Brazil at 2900 Greenville Ave embraces the coffee-food-booze combo. Halcyon has had plenty of time to dial in to this concept in recent years, as the company has opened two spots in Austin, one in San Antonio, one in San Diego and one on the way in San Marcos, California.

The food menu includes plenty of early morning fare to accompany the coffee. The Texas-requisite breakfast tacos come in varieties like the Maverick Migas with house-made tostadas, pico de gallo and a cheddar/pepper-Jack blend, $3.95. There are a variety of cast-iron egg skillets ($8 to $10) or an acai bowl ($11) featuring a refreshing blend of strawberry, mango and banana.
