Best SUSHI SUSHI KYOTO Not only is Sushi Kyoto within walking distance of campus, it also has some of the best sushi in town. Located on Hillcrest Avenue, Kyoto is the perfect place to get your sushi fix. Some popular sushi rolls include the Ahi Tuna Tower, the Sexy Roll, which is wrapped in soy paper as opposed to seaweed and the 911 roll for those who want a spicy dish. Not the biggest sushi fan? There is plenty of diversity on the main entree menu. Favorites include the house salad that is made with a ginger dressing and the fried rice that comes in huge portions perfect to share. — Courtney Spalten
JD’s Chippery (6601 Hillcrest Avenue, Suite A, Dallas, TX 75205) has been described as “heaven in your mouth.” Few would argue. The delicious home-baked taste of JD’s snicker doodle, chocolate chip and M&M cookies has folks coming from miles around. JD’s cookies are soft and chewy and will leave you craving a glass of milk…or their famous homemade lemonade. —Brent Paxton Best Cupcakes Sprinkles Sprinkles Cupcakes, located in the Plaza at Preston Center, serves freshly baked cupcakes daily. Sprinkles has a variety of flavors from the traditional red velvet to the more unique salty caramel. The store even offers gluten-free cupcakes. The flavors vary by day, but one thing stays constant: the cupcakes are always fresh, moist and delicious. —Tashika Varma

Best Donuts Mustang Donuts Mustang Donuts (6601 Hillcrest Ave, Dallas, TX 75205) may only be open from 5 AM to 12PM, but it is worth waking up for. This historic donut shop has been serving breakfast to SMU students since 1983! But be sure to take cash and try the blueberry donut. — Chrystalla Georghiou Best Breakfast Breadwinner’s Breadwinner’s (3301 McKinney Ave, Dallas, TX 75204) is a staple of the uptown restaurant scene. They’ve got one of the most unique restaurant layouts in Dallas. The building is converted from an old factory with hanging plants and sunlight shining through openings in the ceiling and windows. We recommend you head over for their award winning Sunday brunch and to sip on mimosas. — Brent Paxton
