10/10 recommend this place! Service was amazing, staff is great, and the food....phenomenal!!!!!

Overall: 4.5/5 for breakfast places rounding up to 5/5 for Gregory. Ambience: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Dropped in here on a rainy Friday afternoon in the Arts District. It has a nice casual, up to date, ambience that fits well with the neighborhood feel. Gregory, our host, who's has been with this restaurant for 22 years, was friendly and colorful. Matthew, our server, was prompt, friendly, and helpful sharing the juice options. We settled on coffee and Mimosas for our beverages! Yum! We split the Hanger Strap 2 egg combo with a side of bacon. The portion size was perfect for us to split. The eggs were great. The hash browns and bacon were good. Sourdough toast with strawberry butter was a treat. We will come back again if we are in the area for breakfast. Would recommend as a solid option if you are in the neighborhood. read more

5 stars! Fantastic staff Have it all menu Plenty of seating Pups allowed outback 15 outback patio seats 7 upfront patio seats I love when a restaurant cuts my steak up for me. Free coffee refills. My server Matthew was so kind and the manager Gregory went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and get to know me and welcome me back. This is one of the better steaks I've had here in Dallas so far, I was really surprised. Didn't even use A1. It's quiet, bright, friendly. Almost too much food haha. Oh annnnd they have beignets! Fresh juice Juice shots Coffee (real coffee bar) Of course drinks galore What a gem! read more

Solid brunch spot if you're in uptown area and curious on trying it. The yelp waitlist for this area is very inaccurate. It said about 30-45 mins for a wait time around 10am on a Saturday. 1.5 hours later and we were still on it and we assumed it was busy. After calling the serve just said to come on over. It appeared that they sit patrons walk ins faster than people on the waitlist. However we got a cinnamon snail ($7) and it was somewhat flat, lacked flavor, and good for 2 -4 bites. We got the monte cristo ($16)which was very solid and had lots of flavor. The farmers market ($14.50) was huge in portion but lacked flavor or seasoning. Our waiter did forget our hashbrowns that they immediately brought out in a few mins- but this place looks disorganized and somewhat chaotic. There's better brunch spots in uptown- I wouldn't recommend this place immediately as the bar section was offering seasonal cocktails for about $17 each. At that point I'd go across to Bowen house for a matching price but higher quality. read more

I had ordered from this place for delivery, but I always wanted to come into the restaurant. My nephew came to help me out with some planting projects and I told him I would take them to breakfast. He said he wanted a real breakfast breakfast not hippie toast with avocados on it so I told him let's come to dream Café. First off you could use the Yelp app to make a reservation or get on the waitlist which is fabulous. We had wanted to go after church today and I saw that there was actually no weight happening so this was a double bonus. The restaurant will validate your parking in the adjacent parking garage for up to two hours for free seeing that there was no waitlist meant that I wouldn't be spending part of that time waiting to get seated. We were promptly greeted by several people. It was great coffee came out right away as did our popovers that's what their iconic here for. My Nephew ordered chicken and waffles. The chicken was plenty full and juicy, and the waffles were nice and thick they were served with real maple syrup. I got this chicken fried steak breakfast with eggs on the side and there was also a biscuit which my nephew took and hashbrowns. I have half of my breakfast for a meal tomorrow. The place was great. The prices were great and the food was delicious. If you're coming over here put into your GPS dream Café parking and it will take you right to the appropriate parking garage. Too simple. read more

Cute location with great staff. My dad and i came here for brunch today and shared the cloud cakes and quiche. The cloud cakes were disappointing. The bottom pancake was overcooked on both sides. Also- it doesnt come with enough toppings. The quiche was pretty good- the hashbrowns were unseasoned and underwhelming. I got a juice shot that was pretty good- complexion or something. Anyway- it reminds me of snooze but not as good. Just ok. read more

Not sure which view I liked more: the food on the table or the girl across from me! Seriously, the food here is amazing, and the wait staff is equally amazing. I wasn't sure what to get because everything looked good, and I joked with our waitress, Misty, that maybe I'd just start with the first thing on the menu and work my way down every time I come back. The monte cristo was delicious and the one bite I had of the mile high omelette was pretty tasty, too. You have to try the popover if you go. It's a nice side to any meal, and the house-made strawberry butter is fantastic. Oh, and for my iced coffee lovers out there, I thought it was neat that instead of traditional ice cubes (which inevitably melt and water down your coffee), they use frozen coffee cubes! Five stars. No notes. I will be back (and soon)! read more

Took my mom and son for lunch at dream cafe. First I will say the parking was easy. It's I parking garage and once you go up it's right around the corner and dream cafe does validate. Once inside it's set up like a diner with plenty of seating but because it was so nice outside we wanted to dine out there. Plenty of seating and really nice. Our waiter was very helpful. Because I plan to come back later to try breakfast I went with a lunch option of grilled cheese with ham and tomato soup. It was really good and filling. The serving size was just the right amount. read more

Shout out to the waiter that took care of us- Diego! He was awesome!!! I ordered the Rancheros and it was pretty good. The whole time I had my eyes on the cinnamon snail pastry. I got one of those and a coffee and it made my day. It wasn't the best I ever had- but it was good and the vibe of the place combined with how nice and attentive the staff was made the whole thing an amazing vibe! read more

The location is in the heart of uptown. Easy to find, and there is plenty of free street parking around the perimeter. There is a parking lot but you have to pay for it. The restaurant is very quaint, modern, fresh. The staff was sweet, and helpful, although they did take a long time to get us the check at the end. The best part of this restaurant is they do cater to vegans and people who want to eat healthy when going out. I ordered an oatmilk chai latte with whole grain pancakes, and hashbrown. The latte hit the spot instantly! The hashbrown was Heaven- it was a perfect mix of soft in the middle and crispy on the outside. The pancakes in the otherhand were a bit heavy and bland, nothing special. Of course we have to consider i am getting the healthy pancake, it's not going to be the most delicious in the world. I will definitely come back for brunch again because they offer vegan dishes, The place is cute and the staff were respectful! read more

Good selection of food. greeted as soon as we walked in. Our server was Diego, He was very friendly and attentive. We ordered huevos rancheros, it was a runny egg so let them know how you want it.

New to the neighborhood, my gf and I discovered this brunch spot about two blocks from our place. As a lover of pancakes, we definitely had to check it out after seeing reviews. I made reservations for 9:45am as I read that it could get pretty busy. We arrived and were immediately greeted warmly and lead to our seat. The decor is bright and airy. It actually feels a bit dreamy. We sat at table in the rear and quickly thereafter our waitress arrived. She was so nice and bubbly; offering suggestions and answering any questions. My gf ordered a latte and I ordered a mimosa of course! Both drinks were fresh and good! For brunch; the cloud cakes and strap hanger with bacon. Everything was hot and cooked to perfection. The cloud cakes were different.. in that they were more on the flat side vs fluffy. But they were really good. I loved the buttered-jam that came with the toast as well. All in all Dream is a solid spot and we'll definitely be back! read more

Menu is unique. Upscale menu with 70s vibe. Crowded but not stuffy. Specialty coffee drinks, service Excellent! Be prepared to wait a little longer for your food. Perfection takes time. Food was accurate, hot and just the right amount to share or get a box and enjoy it twice. Staff is spot on! read more

This place is delicious! 11/10 food, staff, and environment. The parking garage station is weird, but the staff is helpful.

Service was superb. Had a scrambler, which was served in a delicious yorkshire pudding bread. The scramber was perty good, pretty standard for the items in it. Would've liked more veggies, but this was nice in that it had sundried tomatoes and they were willing to add mushrooms instead of cheese. I had the virgin bloody, which was great. Makes me assume their bloodies are solid. Come with bacon, so heads up if veggie focused (good luck with that in Dallas anyhow). Beignets were as expected, great. Would come back. Family loved the host. read more

The food was good, I got the Austin Tacos (subbed the breakfast potatoes inside for the hashbrowns) & the skintastic juice was really refreshing- also thought pretty small for $7. Giving 3 stars because the woman who was at the front when we arrived (some blonde headed lady, 45+ in age if I were to guess) was so snippy & rude for no reason. So if you want a pretty good cheap meal I'd go here just make sure to steer clear of the blonde woman. read more

Me and my girlfriend traveled to Dallas from San Antonio for the State Fair of Texas and was in search for a good brunch spot. Dream Cafe was perfect from the moment we walked inside to the moment we left. Our Server Misty was the best. She was personable and 5/5 on all recommendations. We ordered Bignets and Deviled eggs for appetizer with Mimosas and for our entrees we split the Country Fries Steak platter with the French Toast platter and the Omelet. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. Shout out to the host as well with the white and black polkadot suit he was very professional and fun always checking in with us and making sure we're enjoying ourself. The inside and outside deck is a vibe 10/10 read more

An overall okay experience. A party of 3 and we were all seated quickly. It was mid-morning on a Friday, and there was plenty of seating. Our waiter was so sweet and cared for our table. The coffee had good flavor but was just lukewarm. Someone ordered the Hippie Cakes, and they were very dense - seemed to be undercooked? Someone else ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. It was so much food which was great! The biscuit was so so so good! Homemade and moist! Didn't crumble out of my hand. The steak was a bit overcooked and the hash browns were undercooked, just a bit cold. My burrito was great though! Each bite had bacon and hash browns. There was plenty of cheese too. I do wish the scrambled eggs were a bit less browned inside. It also took a very long time to get food. Thankfully we had coffee and conversation. But if we were in a hurry, it wouldn't have been great. Everyone on staff was so, so friendly though. It felt like an inclusive and safe space. I do think with less options on the menu, they could highlight and shine through a few dishes. read more

Came on a Saturday during brunch time and thankfully had no wait times. Our server was amazing and continuously checked in on us and fill up our water cups. I ordered a small grapefruit juice and monte cristo and my boyfriend ordered the eggs Benedict with the energizer juice. Overall, the drinks and food were great! I really enjoyed the monte cristo, flavorful with the ham and paired well with the honey mustard. It comes with a fruit cup but I wasn't able to eat majority of the fruits as there was pineapple inside (my fault for not informing them of food allergy) however, was able to try the orange and it was sweet. Both grapefruit juice and the Energizer were fresh. Energizer has some ginger so I didn't try it but was told that the ginger wasn't too strong. Overall, would come back to try the other items! read more

The chicken and waffle is by far the worst thing I've ate in 2026. You get two small unseasoned dried up pieces of chicken strips with the most disgusting piece of waffle I've ever had in my whole entire life. I didn't know waffles could be so disgusting but hey these restaurants surprise me every day. It's almost a scam. I ordered it on DoorDash and it had two big pieces of fried chicken as if you were getting them like at Roscoe's chicken and waffles. Nothing like it. I couldn't stomach the rest and gave it to my dog. read more

Dream Cafe - Leftover waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Atmosphere is bright and airy. Arrive 30 min after open for Bfast. Only one other party. Fortunately, since only one staff person front of house. Very pleasant. However, the service was scatter-shot and the kitchen had not prepped for the Bfast service, so long wait for them to have any Hollandaise for eggs Benedict. Order came out missing ala carte side order. Coffee was not refilled until I asked for it after almost the entirety of food was gone. read more

The experience we had here was very different. The food was so so. We asked the server for suggestions. We did not personally enjoy the selections. They were kind enough to take the items away and allow us to order something else. The food was lacking in flavor. The bone in the establishment was very laid back and chill. The staff seemed to like working there. I wish we would have realized the offered frozen treats. We didn't see them until we were leaving out the door. read more

During a recent visit to my company's Dallas office, my team and I decided to order from Dream Cafe for breakfast. While we all ordered a variety of items as a group, I tried the following items: - Popover with strawberry butter: While it looked like a misshapen croissant, it was undercooked and doughy but also pretty flavorless. I thought the strawberry butter might help but it was also flavorless. I didn't end up eating this and wouldn't order this item again. Cinnamon snail: I expected this to be soft like a normal cinnamon roll, but it was very crunchy. Because of how crunchy it was, the plastic knife didn't even cut through it. We ended up each tearing a piece off using our hands. Nola beignets: These tasted great but weren't like your normal beignets as they were more dense and not as fluffy. We all agreed that these tasted like fried donuts. Cold brew with sugar free syrup: The flavor of the syrup wasn't very prominent in this cold brew but otherwise it was good. Overall, the food was OK but I wouldn't order from here again during our next team event. read more

Dream Cafe delivers a bright, casually spirited Uptown Dallas vibe. The spacious patio and inviting courtyard feel are perfect for relaxing with friends or family. Inside, you'll find a cheerful, airy space with local art on the walls. Service tends to be warm and attentive; we ordered pancakes, bacon, and cheese grits with mimosas for drinks which all were nothing short of amazing. Overall, Dream Cafe in Uptown Dallas hits the sweet spot for brunch: reliably tasty, welcoming, and moderately priced. Favorites like the popovers with strawberry butter are worth the hype, while the hearty classics deliver real value. It's an excellent choice whether you're after indulgent brunch staples or healthier, veggie friendly fare. Expect a pleasant wait, good service, and a lively, relaxed Sunday brunch atmosphere. read more

We have lived in Uptown for 27 years and Dream Cafe is our hands-down favorite spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. We stay hopeful that they will decide to open for dinner someday as well! While they offer healthy, vegan, gluten free options, the menu provides plenty of comfort food as well. It is family owned; we look forward to visiting with the owners Mary and Emma and catching up with the manager Greg and our favoirite server Misty. Every staff member is friendly, helpful, and professional. If you're lucky enough to live in Uptown, Dream Cafe is easily walkable and right on the McKinney trolley route. If you're driving there is plenty of validated garage parking available behind the building. Don't miss this gem of Uptown! read more

The mimosas and Monte Cristo are the way to go. And I recommend adding bacon. YUM!! Also, the host and waitstaff were so sweet!! Plus, it is such a bright space that you can't NOT be happy there. One thing I was surprised by was the popover that I'd seen rave reviews about. We tried it with the strawberry butter, and it was meh. I would not order the popover again. But everything else was very good. read more
