    Too Salty! Too many capers!
    Carmen H.

    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!

    Crab cake Benedict
    Lauren H.

    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.

    Farmer's scramble and complimentary pop over
    Hallie S.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!

    Hazelnut latte

    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

    Cloud Cakes
    Ali L.

    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.

    Nika W.

    The hubby and I are first timers ! Nice, clean spot. Fresh food, quick service, When we walked in the hostess only gave us the dinner menu, which immediately allowed disappointment to set in. We decided to ask the waiter if brunch was over and he surprisingly stated "No Everything's available !" We ordered and everything came quick, hot & fresh. I'll definitely come back !

    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.

We had the deviled eggs and lump crab cakes to start, and both were SO good. Prices were great too. Our waitress, Staci (or Stacy), was AMAZING. Sweet, funny, great at banter, and incredibly attentive. Even when she was busy, she never made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. When she was at our table, we had her full attention, she checked on us the perfect amount, and we never had to ask for anything twice. She was on top of her game! My only complaint was a really awkward interaction at the end. I wanted to ask Staci two simple questions: whether they carried an olive gin I'd had in Europe (they didn't, but I haven't found it anywhere) and whether I could buy a roll of quarters because we were going to play pool. Somehow this turned into 5-6 staff members gathering around, plus this random blonde lady in a white T-shirt and jeans joining the conversation. Aside from Staci and the blonde lady, no one else even acknowledged me. They just stood there looking at me. It was weird. It felt like a lot of unnecessary attention over two simple questions and made me pretty uncomfortable. Having another customer involved was honestly the weirdest part. It was disappointing because we'd had such a great experience up until then. I went from thinking, "I need to bring my friends here!" to leaving feeling pretty unwelcome. Food: delicious. Atmosphere: beautiful. Prices: great. Staci: WONDERFUL. I just wish the interaction at the end had matched the rest of the experience. I changed my rating from two stars to four stars because I didn't feel like one bad interaction was worth two stars and I was a little flustered when I originally wrote my review.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT; We ordered the Pineapple Juice - (8/10) : The juice was good Hisbicus Tea - (4/10) : The tea was made with cane sugar; that defeated the purpose of a healthy and delicious tea. I really wanted it to be made with agave or date syrup. Side of Cabbage- (4/10) : Cabbage was very bland for fried cabbage, its wasn't seasoned at all and it wasn't cooked through enough to my liking. Side of Fried Brussel Sprouts - (7/10) : Brussel Sprouts were decent and actually seasoned. They just weren't mind blowingly good so a 7 was the best I could give it. Vegan Jerk Oxtail with Mushroom Rice - (8/10) : This right here was great however it was giving more vegan meatloaf then it was oxtail. We had to think of it as a meatloaf for us to be fully satisfied with the flavor. Overall though it was good and we enjoyed it. Vegan Lobster Mac and Cheese - (9/10) : This was the STAR of the show. It was delicious, creamy and the lobster pieces actually were giving lobster lowkey. We enjoyed this one the most and would return just to get this. The Ambiance of the restaurant was cool and definitely would be worth sitting in and enjoying the meals. The decor was decent inside and inside the bathroom, however, the bathroom needs to be upgraded. My rating... DEFINITELY would recommend the Lobster Mac and Cheese, we will return to get it again and maybe try another vegan option. I would totally recommend, GO TRY IT OUT! They also have non-vegan options that others rave about!

The food is consistently excellent. We went for dinner on a Saturday night (reservations are highly recommended). The wife had the chicken as a main entree. It was outstanding. The chicken was smoky, tender, and moist. It has a bevy of vegetables that are cooked perfectly. It comes with a side and she got the baked potato with everything. She loved everything about this entree. For me, it was an easy decision. I LOVE their wedge salad and started with that. The price has gone up a bit but it remains outstanding. For some reason, the waiter gave me a small but it was fine. The small in 2026 is $7.99 and the regular size is now $11.99. For my entree, I ordered from the appetizer menu and got the crab cake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crab cake. It has to be the best in Dallas. It is one half pound of pure crab meat, no filler. The price has gone up to $26.99 so it is not cheap, but it is outstanding quality. The cake was perfectly cooked and the crab was sweet. It comes with three dips but to me, I want to taste the crab so I did not use them. The kid had the old fashioned fries and devoured them. Our server, Mark, was attentive and efficient. Service was excellent as usual. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Dallas and IMO the best in the line of Kenny's restaurants.
