I miss the Dream Cafe in the Quadrangle and the one that was in what I always call the "Sakowitz Village" area..Monteith and Beltline. I decided to try their newest one in Richardson...and so glad I did. As soon as you enter, there is a great vibe...very sleek, neat & clean. Our server, David was very friendly and took good care of us...kept my coffee cup full...which BTW was very tasty... I am a coffee snob. We had the angel cloud pancakes and the Monte Cristo sandwich...both delicious...and the pancake portion was HUGE! This is only about 15 minutes from the house so will definitely be back! read more

Not an enjoyable meal and service was meh. I asked the server to offer her favorite dishes on the menu and she only came up with one, I guess that should have been my first red flag. She suggested the Gilroy Chicken, which came with mash potatoes. Where I adore capers, this dish came with way too many, almost a 1/4 cup per the dish, which made it way too salty. The sauce was gloopy instead of silky, it only had 2 pieces of artichokes per the whole dish. The mash potatoes tasted instant and lacked flavor. If this had been my 1st visit...it would have been my last. I could have made a better dish at home. Meh! read more

Dream Cafe - Too Salty! Too many capers! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Richardson, Texas

We came at noon on Saturday and there was no wait. I would say this restaurant is pedestrian in all aspects. The decor is fine but unremarkable. My scrambler came at first with cold hash browns and eggs. They brought me a new plate that was warm; so good for them! The popover was the best thing. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The meal itself was fine but again, unremarkable. My husband had chicken and waffles, which was very flavorful, however the gravy had a heavy flour taste to it and the syrup was watered down to the point where there was foam on top. Unfortunately, this is not someplace we would return. read more

I used to go to the downtown location all the time but this is my first time at Richardson & it's just as good as I remembered. I even got the classic cloud pancakes & they are still so good. We sat on the patio & it was lovely. Service was smooth & fast, even on a weekend. Plenty of parking at this location. read more

Very cool place with a dreamy atmosphere. It would be a great place to have a small birthday brunch. There's a bar and plenty of food and drink options for anyone. The food comes in great portions and the service is extremely fast. The coffee I got was extremely sweet and not what I typically expect when getting a hazelnut latte, but it was still pretty good. Overall, a great experience. read more

Dream Cafe - The Elvis - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I've never had a pop over before and was super curious how it tastes, and compliments to us, our server gave all one to try. They're huge and flaky like an unstuffed oversized cream puff which we loved with the strawberry butter they gave alongside it. I loved my farmers scramble, it was super filling. Our server took a while to come to our table and didn't check on us often which didn't impress us, but the inside of this breakfast joint is cute and cozy. We enjoyed our stop here on our way to McKinney, for breakfast. read more

Dream Cafe - Farmer's scramble and complimentary pop over - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Richardson, Texas

First time here this morning. Service was good. Food was okay. The turkey club barely had enough toppings on it $15. The crab cake Benedict is $18-$19 and a really good amount of food but you have to like really fishy tasting crab. The queso's flavor was really good but it was quite watery. A larger mimosa is going to cost you $12 a glass. I like all of the different juice options but not a place where I would spend that much on multiple drinks. That's would add up FAST. Prices here were just surprising high and I couldn't figure out why. We sat out on the patio because it was such a nice day. Despite the fly deterrent, those little buggers were determined to land on our food. The price you pay for sitting outside with food. We may or may not come back at some point to try other items. read more

Great spot! I remember frequenting their uptown location in the quadrangle about a couple of decades ago (yes, I'm old). This spot is a bit further out but still has similar vibes. I stopped by for breakfast on a weekday with a friend. We had a great time and sat out on their patio. Great food and service. I ended up getting an omelette and it was quite tasty. The coffees and teas are also delicious. The service is attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new go to brunch spot with nice outdoor seating. read more

40 years and 25 miles away from the original, the latest Dream Cafe waits. Go! In 1987 I heard about a great new place to have breakfast. In what is now known as uptown, a charming ring of boutique shops anchored an older but Gentrifying niche of Dallas. In the shade of downtown Dallas The Quadrangle was " the Place" to go back in the day. One reason was to eat at the unique Dream Cafe. Abundant portions of creatively delicious food in a relaxed environment, bottomless cups of gourmet coffee and what seemed like a football field sized lawn for the kids to play on. Jump to the new Richardson location for a try. It checks all the current boxes for a decent breakfast or brunch. A bonus is,they don't close at 2 pm as is common with the new crop of eateries. No,you can show up as late as 9 pm and enjoy wine,beer and a full bar with evening repast. A large,well designed and comfortable space awaits with plenty of smiling wait staff providing excellent service. A wide and varied menu I'm convinced,has something for everyone. My crab cakes Benedict was excellent and hit the late morning breakfast spot. My companion enjoyed the " Elvis"! An enormous biscuit holding,egg, sausage,white cheese all smothered in gravy with Bacon sprinkles. Lovely dish. I'll be back for both,lunch and dinner. What are you waiting for? read more

Food is always consistently wonderful! Great dishes (not the same old same old) Service is always great too! The interior space is beautifully designed and simply cozy! Expansion of the Outdoor patio (currently adding to the west side) is also a nice bonus for the space! A great addition to our Richardson neighborhood! I used to go to the Quadrangle Dream Cafe back in the day. Always enjoyed the vibe, atmosphere and live jazz music. Maybe that will be added to this location next! read more

I passed by this spot on a daily basis and I've always wanted to try it, but I never did it. This time I'm glad I did. This was a very pleasant experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice and nicely decorated. The server that waited on us was very nice and attentive and was very pleasant. Our food order was taken promptly and delivered to us promptly. The popovers were very good. They were warm, which was very good to go along with the meal and my omelette was very good. I enjoyed it! The pesto chicken salad was also good. Yes, I grabbed a little bit from my friend. Overall, this was a very good experience and I'll be back. read more

I have mentioned this before, I'm not a big breakfast person, so when I do go out to eat early in the morning it better be a good experience. And Dream Cafe was just that - it was really good. Their open space dinning room in warm colors of green and orange makes you feel right at home. The wait staff was everything you hoped for when eating breakfast. They were quick to seat you, the waiter was at our table within seconds getting our drinks, and our order was taken within a few minutes. The scrambled eggs were very tasty, and they had popovers for breakfast. Another great treat for my un-normal morning breakfast event. It was a great experience and I cannot wait to come back for more pop overs! read more

We stopped by for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised . We both got flavored lattes ( mine was half sweet ) . I got the crab cake Benedict and my friend got the wild child sandwich . Loved that lattes weren't too sweet at all . The Benedict was delicious just a little difficult to cut through and my friend loved her sandwich . They have indoor and outdoor seating . Service was good though it did take a bit for the food to come out . Would come back read more

Food was good. Service was ok. Restaurant is really loud for such a small place. Been here twice now and same thing both times.

Overall solid place for brunch! Staff was friendly and service was quick, not too many people when we went in Monday morning. We got the sunset helps which had eggs on a tostada with beans, hashbrown, salsa, guac and sour cream. The flavor was good and I liked the runny yolk of the eggs but I wish the ratio of beans and hashbrown were more balanced. The cloud cakes were nice and fluffy. Overall would be back to try some other dishes, solid pricing and ambiance as well. read more

I like the ambiance of Dream Cafe. Walking in, it feels a bit industrial, yet very woodsy. Wood and brick are the main interior construction materials here. I will give the interior a 4 rating. The food was really good. I got a ham and cheese omelette, and it came with hash browns and a delicious fresh popover with a very small strawberry butter. I quickly saw the lack of proportions would not satisfy me and asked the waiter for more. He said "no problem". But, apparently it WAS a problem because even with a reminder he still did not bring it. In fact, he came to pick up my plate, had it in his hand, and then I asked again, and this time, no apology or acknowledgment that I had already asked, just went and brought back some butter. The kicker now was he had taken my knife when he came to get dishes and cleared everyone else's plates. I did not bother to ask, just spread the butter on the other part of the popover with a another piece of popover. I did not complain, as I don't know where his head was this morning, or what he is going though, but he was not fully engaged. Review #2152 read more

Great place with family and friends on weekends GEr quality food, I recommend to everyone to try and give chance

Did you ever eat at the original Dream Café at the Quadrangle? My friends and I have such great memories--delicious food and a makeshift play area where the kids could run wild while we caught up. So when we were figuring out brunch today, Dream Café popped up--and guess what? There's now one way closer to home in North Dallas! We headed to the Richardson location, and while there's no kid play zone this time, the food totally lived up to the nostalgia--every bit as tasty as it was nearly 40 years ago. Our friends ordered the Strap Hanger (think: eggs, popover, crispy bacon, and even crispier hash browns) and the Glory Omelet loaded with spinach, mushrooms, and Swiss. Big hits all around. My wife wasn't feeling eggs this morning, so she went with the Mushroom Swiss Burger, no bun--looked awesome. I couldn't pass up the Crab Cake Benedict. Made with real lump crab meat, it was absolutely delicious. Sure, I wouldn't have complained if the cakes were a little bigger, but they hit the spot. The space felt more open and comfy than the old location, and the service? Spot on--friendly, fast, and super attentive. We were wrapping up around 2 p.m., just as the wait list was dying down, and they let us hang out and chat a bit longer--no pressure to clear the table. Once the front started filling up again, we settled the (very reasonable) check and headed out. Dream Café Richardson just earned a solid spot on our go-to list for breakfast, brunch, or lunch! read more

I've been back several times and tried several dishes. All of them were good, most are exceptional. Service has always been good too. The only times it was really crowded was breakfast on weekends, but we still had immediate seating. Lunch was not a problem either, and sadly dinner it is kind of sparse with customers. I'm not sure why as their menu is as good for dinner as anytime! read more

This was our first time at this location in Richardson off beltline and highway 75. It was similar to there other locations in meaningful ways. 1. We waited 25 minutes for breakfast on a Sunday which is typical for their locations because they are popular place for breakfast. 2. The food quality was also similar which is always very good. 3. Their coffee is the best blend in the city for my money. 4. This location has a 10-12 seat bar too. 5. Their prices are comparable to others not to high but not cheap 6. The only reason 4 stars v. 5 was to high noise level. read more

I enjoyed my biscuit (Huge) and gravy and the hash browns were fantastic. My wife ordered the French toast and only ate one half piece. She also ordered the beignets and they also came up short. The service was just okay. We love the location but the service and overall quality of the food for the price came up short. read more

The food was great. There was three of us and we always try out breakfast places-hence there's an extra egg on the left. Crab cake Benedict was something we don't see at other places and it's worth trying if you do like seafood. I felt like it had the right amount of crab for breakfast. Hashbrowns were good. The yogurt parfait was fresh and good amount of yogurt. The toast wasn't too bad at all. My friend ordered the carrot, apple and lemon juice (omitted the ginger since some two of us don't like ginger) she thought was ok. Green tea matcha latte is in the photo. My friend liked her chai tea latte. Overall food is not bad for pricing. Definitely better compared to honeyberry place off George bush. Service was good as well. Our server was attentive. The ambiance was nice and brightly lit. My friend (and I) love plants so we liked the fake succulent hanging at the front but maybe they can opt for real ones and add more to the space. read more

Great cafe with a terrific, calming, ambience and plenty of seating available. We enjoyed some delicious popovers with strawberry butter. I ordered the 90210 egg Benedict's, shared some cloud cakes. Mom had the straphanger with bacon, hashbrowns, and scrambled eggs. Enjoyed a nice cappuccino and real maple syrup. I definitely want to go back and try lunch. Service was fast and good. Waitress helped me decide between the 90210 and the dream. Nice selection of cocktails and variety of flavored mimosas. They even have ice cream cookiewiches in a variety of flavors. Prices are average and seating outside is available. Cute decor and cafe-cannot wait to try lunch. Lots of Keto and vegan options. read more

So glad to find this Dream Cafe closer to home! I used to frequent the one in uptown when I worked nights, my coworkers and I would go for breakfast/sunrise happy hour:) and loved it, then I found the Lake Highlands one which is a lil closer to home, and great food of course, but this one is the closest!! Cute lil spot with a warm inviting atmosphere. Met my husband after work, we sat at the bar and had the pleasure of chatting with Janae the bartender, which by the way, small world she is from Seattle,Wa as my husband is, and went college in Bellview, same as my husband! He had fun talking with her as she made my lemon drop Martini and then an Expresso Martini (both delicious by the way) we started with their hummus with carrots/celery and pita, delicious and fresh! I had the Shrimp and Grits, delicious, very flavorful with 5-6 large meaty shrimp, tasty mushrooms and a tomato relish of sorts. Husband had the Melrose Chicken Sandwich, he said was good, and the fries on the side were perfectly crisp! All in all great food, service and atmosphere! Will definitely return:) read more

Tucked a little off the main road next to Lockwood distillery, it's was a las minute decision to grab some lunch. Service was very kind and quick. The inside is cute and roomy to be such a small venue. It was a little loud in there which was my only downside. We had the chicken pot pie and the club. Very tasty and nice presentation too! We did go back the other day and tried out the breakfast. It did not disappoint. Happy this little cafe with a patio moved into the neighborhood. read more

I ordered the steak and eggs and was very disappointed with my experience. When I asked for A1 sauce, the bottle was filled with watered-down liquid. After shaking it, I poured it on my steak, only to have it ruin my eggs, hash browns, and steak. I sent the plate back and requested a remake. Instead of remaking the meal, the kitchen simply removed the hash browns I had left and the barely touched eggs, placed them on a warmer (which dried them out), and then served them back to me with a very small steak. This felt careless and unacceptable. When I brought the situation to the waiter's attention, he claimed they had made me a new plate--yet it was obvious they hadn't. Between the watered-down sauce, the dried-out food, the smaller portion, and the dishonesty, this was a terrible customer service experience. I normally don't write reviews, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while. read more

It's about 7:30 at night but the wife's in the mood for breakfast. We call and they tell us they serve breakfast all day. We get the menu but it's the dinner menu and has maybe, 3 breakfast items on it. We flag down our waitress and she gives us the breakfast menu. Better. Not many "traditional" breakfast items fyi. Wife orders the Elvis. I get the Chicken Enchiladas. Enchiladas were good. Not terrific but satifying and tasty. I don't know about Elvis. So there's the food part. Service was not good. For a new place--we were told it was open about 3 months-we expected better service. Patio was semi-full but we were the only ones inside. Took a very long time to get served. And to get food. Too many other great options to come back. Up your game! read more
