Cute muffin restaurant on Dallas' Greenville Ave takes on the taco

Muffins are the story here.

There's a cute little breakfast and snack spot newly opened on Dallas' Greenville Avenue with a truly one-of-a-kind angle. It's called Three Egg Muffins, and it specializes in muffins — but muffins that go far beyond the usual blueberry.

Three Egg's founder, Don Whun Lee, has devised a new kind of breakfast muffin with eggs baked in, that serve as a viable alternative to your prototypical breakfast taco.

"I created these savory egg muffins, which are substantial enough for a meal, especially at breakfast," Lee says. "I start with a typical muffin batter, but I make it with a whole baked egg on top, then top it with things like cheese, ham, and bacon. It has all of the ingredients you usually enjoy for breakfast, but in a muffin format."

Lee is native of Seoul, Korea, and a former sushi chef who has worked at a variety of restaurants, most recently Avocado Roll Sushi. He started out making these muffins at home as a treat for his family. The reception was significantly enthusiastic that he decided to try it out in a restaurant setting.

He'd seen the popularity of breakfast tacos and thought this would make a good alternative, at a reasonable price.

Options include ham with mozzarella; bacon with cheddar; and maple sausage. But even his traditional sweet muffins are creative, with flavors such as Oreo cookie and strawberry cream cheese.

He opened two weeks ago at 3607 Greenville Ave., across from Snuffer's and the Granada Theater, in what was most recently a rolled ice cream place called Frost Bite, but which was for many years Cafe Izmir Market.

He's given it a makeover with pale woods and a clean, modern touch. In addition to muffins, he does excellent coffee drinks, including espresso-based items such as lattes and cappuccinos for $3, as well as state-of-the-art pour-overs.

"I'd been looking for space for a while when I found this location," Lee says. "I like this area. I used to go out for dinner and lunch in this area, and it has a good vibe, I think."

New Seegars Deli stacks up nostalgic sandwiches in The Cedars Dallas

From the griddle to the red-checkered paper, Seegars Deli is all about classic, approachable sandwiches.

A new deli has settled into The Cedars district of Dallas, bringing a simple approach to sandwiches and sticking to the classics. Called Seegars Deli, the new shop is located at 1910 S. Harwood St. and named for its cross street, Seegar Street.

It is next to Mike’s Gemini Twin Lounge, in the former El Jale Nightclub space.

Seegars Deli is the latest from hospitality entrepreneur Olivia Genthe, who opened Fount Board & Table in Uptown six years ago and launched Little Blue Bistro in Bishop Arts - a nominee for 2026 Tastemaker Awards' Best New Restaurant - last year.

The menu is purposefully simple: “It’s all the classic sandwiches that I grew up with; our goal is to do something that does not really need much explaining,” Genthe says. “It is nostalgic, unelevated, and well-executed.”

The menu features a mix of Midwestern staples and deli classics, with sandwiches ranging from $12-$17. Some varieties are also available as a 6-inch sandwich for $8-$9. Highlights include:

The Polish Boy: A tribute to Genthe’s hometown of Cleveland, featuring fried beef kielbasa, cabbage slaw, BBQ sauce, and shoestring fries piled onto a brioche roll.
Dill Turkey: House-roasted turkey, Havarti cheese, dill pickle relish, and garlic mayo on a seeded hoagie.
Not Chopped Liver: A clever vegetarian option made with mushrooms, walnuts, eggs, and peas on a brioche loaf.
Thick-Cut Bologna: A simple stack of bologna, American cheese, and garlic mayo on a brioche bun.

Sides include house-made chips, French fries, pasta salad, marinated white beans, shaved, marinated celery and pickles.

The bread is sourced from New York and baked fresh daily on-site. While the menu will evolve to include more soups and salads —beyond the current grinder chopped salad and kielbasa soup — the focus remains on an approachable offering with fresh ingredients.

For dessert, they serve a pineapple upside cake, and they will start offering ice cream cones for kids soon, they say.

They also have a limited coffee menu: espresso, latte, cappuccino, macchiato, cortado and cold brew, using beans from local roaster Viewfinder.

During the weekends, they offer a brunch menu from 10 am-2 pm, including pancakes, egg sandwiches, pastrami hash, and pork tenderloin plates.

Seegars also serves as a commissary for both Fount Board & Table and Little Blue Bistro, which needed more kitchen-prep space, Genthe says.

The 2,200-square-foot space strikes a retro balance between a mid-century diner and a modern industrial workshop, with plenty of tables and booths around the deli case. The counter continues to the side onto a full bar with mustard-yellow, vinyl-upholstered swivel barstools that run along the wood-paneled bar for a warm, vintage pop of color against the cooler concrete floors.

The floor and walls were left as is to achieve a rustic, traditional look, “not overthought, lived in,” as described by Genthe.

Seegars Deli is open daily from 10 am-10 pm, and there is plenty of parking around for visitors.

Genthe says The Cedars district has given the deli a warm welcome. “It’s been good," she says. "We were well received from the neighborhood, everybody was waiting for us to open."
