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

This place is a great brunch spot, but don't sleep on it for dinner! They have a great dinner menu. Some of my favorites include the square meal (grilled chicken/salmon/tofu, veggies, rice and beans), the blue plate (fried chicken and mashed potatoes) and the chicken pot pie. Everything is fresh and delicious! If you come here for dinner you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was super delicious along with customer service. The pancakes are so delicious. The crab cakes are very good. Overall great experience, no complaints will definitely be back. read more

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

First time here. Nice atmosphere, good food and service. Tables and booths; a bit noisy as the there are a lot of tables and with everyone talking in the closed in space makes is a bit noisy. There is a bar with bar seating and additional seating at high bar tables/chairs. Outdoor patio covered seating is very nice, pets are allowed in the patio seating area. Will definitely be back. read more

I accidentally discovered this place while looking for spots to eat for my birthday. The spot is kind of hidden behind the gas station and the shopping center with the Dollar Tree. When we went, the place is quite empty. We were immediately greeted and given menus. I had the chicken and waffles. The waffle was nice and crunchy and the chicken breast was nice and juicy. No complaints! I also had a French 75 which was made to perfection. Great 1st experience and I'll definitely be back during a happy hour. Oh, the inside looked good so definitely a good low key dating spot. read more

Good food but very noisy inside. We were one of only 6 tables during a weekday. very hard to hear the waitress or my lunch companions. Issue is one that is becoming more common in interior designs. No ceilings! look up just painted black girders and roof bottom, visible ducts and very high. No sound proofing or noise reduction. Essentially a cheap move in with minimal investment needed. Results noise! Best food in the world can't prevent a bad dining experience if you can't enjoy your surroundings. Something that more and more businesses forget today because they're looking to get in as cheap as they can to start turning a profit. read more

Good food, service, and beverage selections in a quite setting; great for casual dinner meetings or just catching up over coffee; especially like the convenience of their new location in Richardson. read more

I do not speak in hyperbole when I say that this was one of the greatest dining experiences of my life. The Dream Cafe promised bold inventive dishes and delivered. I was blown away by every bite! I recommend this restaurant to anyone both local and tourist. read more

Dream Cafe - Pictured as follows. Center: Austin Tacos, Top Right: Mystic Pasta, Top Left: The Elvis - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Everything here is great, except for the hostess. She was so rude, incompetent, and kept giving away our table because she got confused? I cannot believe she was given that position. Huge negative right at the beginning of our experience. Fortunately, things were fine after we got past the hurdle of being forced to interact with the awful hostess (she was working 5/18/2025 at noon). The ambience is nice, but it does get very busy and loud. Food is always great! The bar staff are super friendly, but the servers seem to be mad to be there. read more

Food great Inside surroundings clean and nice Service was lousy Had to wait forever for coffee When it finally came it was Cold coffee x2 Staff didn't appear to be too interested in me read more

Food - 5 Stars - went for Lunch, Excellent. Also a full bar. Service - 5 Stars - Excellent Service and the place was about half full if not more. Ambiance - Very Nice This is our new go to place. Cannot say enough good things about this new Restaurant in Richardson. read more

Fantastic food and service and ambiance!!! we were super impressed and will be back!

Went about a week ago for brunch. Had the shrimp tacos, latte, and croissant beignets. Holy moly everything was so delicious! Our server was so nice too. Only complaint is that it gets real loud when there's a lot of people. I highly recommend this spot to anyone for the FOOD!! If you stop by, be sure to get the croissant beignets. Still thinking about them a week later!!! read more

So glad to have a Dream Cafe north of 635 again! And now with a full bar! One of the best brunches in Dallas, but now that the Dream Cafe has more mature drink and wine options, dinner is worth a visit for as well. read more

Do yourself a favor and go! We got the Dream Benedict and the Cloud Cake. Every bite I found myself going Yuuum. Add some mimosas in there as well!! Staff is nice. Place is cute. Great little neighborhood cafe! read more

We absolutely loved our time at Dream Cafe this past Sunday. We arrived toward the end of the brunch hour so the restaurant was pretty full but the hostess did a great job getting us a table for 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) in less than 10 minutes. We were sat and greeted within 10 mins and then our waitress took out order. Food came out promptly and was soo good! The atmosphere was very family and kid friendly. It was a little loud from talking but works great when you have small children. From start to finish we enjoyed our time. We will definitely be returning. read more

The food was great - I had the ciabatta club sandwich, with a salad; my wife had the Square Meal. Everything tasted fresh and very good; the aioli on top of the sandwich lent an extra flavor and kept it from being dry. Service was great and attentive. We've eaten here at all times: breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all the meals have been great. read more

I have been here twice and it was great! My favorite is the steak and eggs with hashbrowns and a popover! read more

Dream Cafe - Steak and Eggs, with hash browns and a popover! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Hostess was extremely unsociable as soon as we walked in. No hello no nothing no communication did not say a word just sat us down and gave us dirty looks. Ambience was alright and the server was nice. However the quality of the food was extremely disappointing. I ordered a simple omelette it came running with watery cheese and grease. Customer interaction extremely limited and poor, just felt unwelcoming. read more

Love their new location! So happy to have one of the best brunch places around finally in a north location. Popovers are insane. Can't wait til they build their new patio. read more

The food was good here and the service was fine but the noise was deafening and there were many flies. It helped when the waitperson brought a fly fan but we still did not like the idea of a fly infested restaurant. Probably won't be coming back. read more

Food was awesome as was the service but the temperature on a Saturday afternoon was very hot. I reported it to the waiter and he said there was nothing he could do. My husband wanted to do dinner there on Friday night. The church crowd, however, took up most of the parking. Until these issues are fixed, I won't be back. read more

We were in the area and stopped by. Service and food were great. Parking was weird but a great breakfast place!

Everything was great. Our server spoke multiple languages and surprised us by greeting us with our native language. She's also super helpful recommending dishes and making sure to check on us regularly. I love the food selection, how friendly all the staff are. We were also able to be seated quickly even on Easter Sunday. Great coordination. Kudos to the manager! I love shrimp & grits and the croissants muffin that I stole from my husband's plate. My friend ordered salmon and it looks amazing as well. read more

mmmmm. hollandaise. All the food coming out to the kitchen looked amazing. My crab cake benedict was tasty because of the sauce and eggs. I would say the muffin was under toasted and crab cake was from frozen of average quality and therefore a little fishy. . I still finished it all. Great cappuccino. read more

Food is not bad but the service is the worse, the other day I we had to leave, nobody came to the table after 1/2 an hour waiting.

I have popped in two times now and all I can say is that the drinks and food are amazing! The first time for brunch the Benedict and biscuits and gravy were to die for! The Frosé coupled with breakfast made my meal sweet and refreshing! Then on Friday before HH ended we popped in with a group of 7 and enjoyed very reasonably priced and delicious drinks along with potstickers, chips, salads, and sandwiches! Ja'nae (sorry if it's misspelled) made the experience even better. Her service was great! She was extremely friendly and made us feel right at home! My only advice, as this place gets more buzzing - management should consider a few more staff people to ensure they keep the service up!! The bar/bathrooms are sleek and beautiful! I cannot wait for us to have a nice patio here in Richardson especially as summer hits! So many of us in the neighboring neighborhoods could really use a summer drinking spot! I will be spreading the word bc I need this place to THRIVE! Please keep your amazing and attentive service up guys! Don't let this place fail read more

We went for a lunch at the new Dream Cafe location in Richardson and this restaurant is just what Richardson needed! It's cute for one, and the food is great for two, service was friendly and efficient as well. No loud music blaring, relaxing blue colors, just the place for a relaxing meal. We each just had a hamburger and fries, mine with mushrooms and swiss, his a plain cheeseburger. The hamburgers were juicy and cooked perfectly and the fries were crisp and hot. We are looking forward to trying the breakfasts soon. There is a real hole in Richarson when it comes to American healthy breakfasts (lunch and dinners) (no offense to all the Asian, Indian, Vietnamese and Mexican restaurants, but there are SO many in our small city) with these bright and cheerful settings, so this new restaurant is really a gem! It'll be great when it's warm enough to eat out on their patio too. read more

We have had dinner. Excellent presentation and outstanding and delicious food. This is a wonderful surprise to the area. So very much better than the usual and ordinary. Full five stars. Perhaps a French Brasserie Traditionneele is the closest comparison. It's a bit more than a bistro, a little formal with linen napkins and tablecloths. A changing printed menu and marvelous selections. The breads and popovers are freshly baked in house. Salads are as crisp and delicious as if selection came from their privately grown vegetables. The servers are well experienced and one of the management staff is always present. Well worth a visit. read more

Just like I remembered from the quad soooo many years ago. Food, service, great and ice cream sandwich for dessert on the way home was so delightful. read more

What a great little addition to Richardson. Favorites include the ricotta pancakes, the house made popovers with strawberry butter, And whatever salad I had that came with the stuffed acorn squash. Service was very kind and personable too which makes us want to come back even more. read more

Dream Cafe in Richarson was Delicious! My wife had chicken and waffles which turned out to be more of a chicken fried chicken (definitely not tenders) with a side of gravy. I had the stir fry with shrimp. Food was great and so was the service. They have only been in Richardson for 3 months. We'll worth the trip! We will be back. read more

What can I say about this place? Since discovering it a few months ago, I have been here at least twice a week. The atmosphere is more of a café style, but the dining is more than that. It is always fresh and full of flavor. Believe me when I say I've tried almost everything on the menu, and have not been disappointed once. The staff is eager and happy to serve you. They are very attentive even when they are busy. The only issue I've had is that they run out of the snails (cinnamon rolls) too fast! Janae is the best! read more

There is newer one in Richardson. I can make the walk so I do. I liked everything I had. Service was great. When I was there it was not busy. The location is difficult to find if you don't know Richardson. But that strip of fun back behind the Quick Trip is a whole day experience ! I like that I can have breakfast for dinner.... read more

The food was good and the service was excellent. There was quite a crowd for Mothers Day, but the waiters were able to manage the orders very well. read more

Food was great, service was great, the place was packed. It might seem crazy but it was horribly loud. Literally my daughter and I were covering our ears. Everybody was yelling over each other but I think it might be a simple fix to put carpet or a rug down. Maybe line the ceiling with carpet or spray foam. It might be a bad design with all hard surfaces. It was actually so loud it was uncomfortable. read more

Service is bad, wasn't busy server took about 10 minutes to ask us what drinks we wanted and after receiving food no silverware was provided. Didn't check on us for refills. They worry to much about boh things should worry about customers as well read more

A very trendy restaurant and a very trendy pocket of Richardson, Texas. Wait time was minimal and sat at the bar Immediately. food selections were very good and the service was awesome. read more
