The Garrett sisters try Buli's lunch box menu and discover the dessert case is out of the question afterward.

Buli Cafe is located on Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn in Dallas. Open from 7 a.m. until midnight, their menu covers a span of items that you might find yourself wanting during those hours: breakfasts, fancy coffees, desserts, and sandwiches. They even offer wi-fi, which is what almost everyone in the joint was enjoying.

We dropped in for lunch after viewing the panini menu (oh my GOSH, these things looked good). You can sit outside or inside. Outside was busy with Dallas police pulling over speeders, so we chose inside. The staff is uber-friendly, and we enjoyed our experience a great deal.

The lunch box menu is around $9 and it includes a fresh apple, chips, and the sandwich of your choice -- all served in a kitschy lunchbox. It also includes your beverage; I chose the flavored tea of the day and it was perfect for the 80-degree weather we've been experiencing.

The BULI-LT was up first. The huge pieces of Texas Toast held a ton of bacon, Muenster cheese, spinach, fresh lettuce, and tomatoes. The dill mayo definitely put a unique twist on this classic sandwich.

We also tried the Cream O Chicken Panini and it was out of this world. Grilled chicken was paired with slightly warmed cream cheese, bacon, basil, spinach, tomato, and apricot chutney -- unique and fabulous.

The dessert case looked splendid, but we ran out of room after our apples, chips, and sandwiches. However, it boasted classics like red velvet and chocolate cake, all which looked heavenly.

This spot is definitely worth a try. We give it two thumbs up!
