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.

I’ll have a glass of fermented Merlot grapes.
Our wedding reception was NOT dry.
Needless to say, we didn’t have to worry about how anyone was getting home, which was wonderful, because our friends and family are responsible drinkers with self discipline. And folks still had a great time. We have the pics to prove it.
Wondering if someone is a vegan? Wait 5 minutes, they’ll tell you.
I lived in FM for 20 years. They keep trying to pretend there something other than a “bedroom community”.
After we left, he asked, "well, what did you think?"
I told him it was going to a great deli where you watch the sandwiches paraded around the room by attractive waitresses, but you weren't allowed to eat.
Very unsatisfying.
That's how I would look at a sober bar.
My sister once wound up in the ER after messing around with vegetarianism for awhile. Dangerous vitamin defiencey or something. She doesn’t do that anymore.
The big screen TVs in that place are probably tuned to figure skating.
I’d like the NY Strip please. Rare.

Mrs and I are visiting family in Houston, Texas. We went to Taste of Texas to eat last evening. I had a cowboy ribeye charred and it was exceptional.
Loved every morsel as it was so delicious!
Voluminous, frequent pants-splitting farts are also a tell.
A sober bar and a vegan menu. What’s the point?
“Yankee bean soup, coleslaw, and tuna surprise!”
I’m very glad to hear that.
I’ve been to plenty that haven’t.
Nobody complained about the lack of alcohol at our wedding.
Our guests weren’t there for the free booze.
“The vegan community here is ... growing tremendously.”
I’m sure it is what with all the liberal filth moving there.
Where is the food in that mess? That looks like the garbage I throw out or put in the yard for the deer after a normal party. Wonder how that duo votes?
Outside maybe the City of San Francisco, are there any longtime (10 years or more) successful vegan only restaurants? It just seems like a very small niche and not worth totally catering to.
New restaurants have a 50% mortality rate in six months, and more than half the remainder close within a year. Those that survive continue until the driving force behind the restaurant either leaves, retires, or dies. Less than 1% of the original number make it that far.
Vegetables are what food eats.
If I’d open a niche restaurant it would be a Keto/Carnivore Diet restaurant.
“...and another man sliding in to the one next to him with the statement: “I’m a vegan.”
“Do you come here often?”
