It has two shops in Texas so far, on South Congress Avenue in Austin and the nearby suburb of Bee Cave.<\/p>\n<p>The shop was created by Khalil Rafati, the author of\u00a0I Forgot to Die, a book about surviving a heroin and cocaine addiction. In his sobriety, he started juicing and eating\u00a0superfoods. In 2011, he started SunLife. It&#8217;s not a juice bar, the website said, but &#8220;an experience fueled by the simple but profound joy of human connection and an unrelenting commitment to quality.&#8221; SunLife&#8217;s\u00a0team was not immediately available for comment for this story.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s too soon to know what SunLife&#8217;s menu might look like in Dallas. Other locations offer menu items including protein smoothies, acai bowls, avocado toast, fruit and vegetable juices, matcha and &#8220;shots&#8221; like an $8 (nonalcoholic) drink with ginger, lemon, oregano, garlic, cayenne and apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n<p>SunLife Organics will be at 3333 Knox St., Dallas. It&#8217;s expected to open in fall or winter 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Its first North Texas restaurant will be at 3333 Knox St., across from Toulouse and Taverna, near Dallas&#8217;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":828010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,1596,358,330008,290169,339935,326483,324686,330006,337544,324685,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":["post-828009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-america","tag-dallas","tag-texas","tag-tp-breakfast","tag-tp-dallas","tag-tp-dallas-fort-worth-healthy-food","tag-tp-highland-park","tag-tp-knox-henderson","tag-tp-sandwiches","tag-tp-university-park","tag-tp-uptown-dallas","tag-tx","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116652827438244725","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=828009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/828009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/828010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=828009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=828009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=828009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
