Wicked Bold Vegan Kitchen was created by vegan chocolate entrepreneurs who want to share their healthy lifestyle.
For Dallas-area vegan chocolate entrepreneurs Deric and Brooklynn Cahill, one idea led to another. The owners of Wicked Bold Chocolate were looking for a place to expand production of their vegan chocolates, but stumbled upon a space in Flower Mound that could also work as a vegan restaurant with plant-based charcuterie and a “sober bar” with non-alcoholic craft cocktails.
“At the core of who we are, it’s absolutely about a healthy lifestyle,” Deric says. The couple, who moved to Texas from Boston in 2019, has two young children. First they went plant-based, then ditched the alcohol. Deric says he hasn’t had any alcohol in 2 months, and Brooklyn has been sober for 7 months.
The cafe will offer charcuterie boards, both savory and sweet, featuring vegan products like BE-hive pepperoni, Herbivorous Butcher deli slices, and AshaPops, which are popped water lily seeds. The Cahills also plan to source from Texas companies like Austin-based Rebel Cheese and All Y’alls Jerky. The boards will also offer an array of nuts, fruit, veggies, dips, crackers and, of course, their own chocolates. “We want to curate an experience on the other side of meat,” Deric says.
“When you think of Texas, you think of meat eaters,” Deric says. “But I’ve been really surprised at the reception we got here. The vegan community here is ... growing tremendously.” They currently sell their chocolates, which are sourced from smallholder farms in Belize, at local spots like Royal Blue Grocery and the Dallas Farmers Market.

What’s the point? I’ll have a soda
With that said, it's their bar and they can do with it what they want.
exactly
I’d like the NY Strip please. Rare.
Well like 4 out of 5 new restaurants in Flower Mound it won’t last 3 months.
As soon as I saw the word ‘vegan’, it was: “Stopped reading right there.”
Cue that image of the long line of urinals with someone using the one on the far left end, and another man sliding in to the one next to him with the statement: “I’m a vegan.”
Or, that other meme question: If someone is a vegan, who is also into cross-fit, which one are they going to feel compelled to tell you about first? :P
“The couple, who moved to Texas from Boston in 2019”
The Leftist invasion of Texas continues. I moved to the DFW area in 2017 and in 4 short years, it has changed considerably with all the liberals relocating to North Texas. Damn shame.
Parasites.
That’s going to make a fine real bar when it goes out of business.
Have you ever noticed that vegetarian restaurants never have meat selections? Meat restaurants have non-meat selections, but it’s never the other way around. I point that out when someone says “Let’s go to this vegetarian restaurant.” “Why?? They don’t have anything I can eat! My restaurant has things vegetarians can eat. Seems like the meat restaurants are doing all the heavy lifting here.”
Okay, that’s my rant. And that’s why I don’t go to vegetarian restaurants. Not until they keep a few hamburger patties or a can of tuna around in case folks like me show up.
I wouldn’t be a customer, even if I lived in Texas because Vegan is just not my thing. But I think they are investing their own money, and doing the work, so they are entitled to any success they achieve. This is the free market at work.
I’ll have the popped water lily seeds, plus marinated kale dumplings a la bio-grown-meat and a side order of stewed kelp.
Sprouted chia seed ice cream for dessert, with chicoree “coffee” and almond milk.
How about an alcohol-free Johnny Walker to start?
Let’s face it, to them, we are ukkey!
My late, much loved in-laws were both teetoalers.
Our wedding reception was dry because they asked us to do that and we agreed cuz we loved them.
Needless to say, we didn’t have to worry about how anyone was getting home, which was wonderful. And folks still had a great time. We have the pics to prove it.
Hubby and I both use alcohol, though not nearly as much as we’d like these days.
To each his own. :-)
Nothing healthy about Vegan.
More booze for me.
“Our wedding reception was dry..”
Back when America was still America, everyone would have had a flask.😎
