Dream Cafe

I'm always wary of celebrity strewn walls in an establishment. I find the bigger the publicity the lower the quality of food compared to the restaurant's hey day pre-fame. I must say Dream Cafe lives up to the hype. They keep a neat little list with everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan to Bono to Kelly Clarkson previously grabbing their tables. This culinarily judgmental New Yorker was pleasantly surprised by the pillowy soft flavorful Hippie blueberry pancake. I was delighted by the crisp buttery biscuit with a soft fluffy interior topped with delicious scrambled eggs , diced sausage, with a healthy dollop of gravy and Cholula hot sauce. It was good to the last bite and even though their style of hash (non crispy and shredded potato) is my least favorite variety, it was hard not to polish off the plate with a dosing of that gravy and hot sauce. After a slight misstep (the first set of hippie pancakes were raw at the center with uncooked batter visible once I reached it) the second set of pancakes were perfectly done and even more delicious than my initial bites of the first. Up beat music from flossing gently from the speakers spanning the past five decades, with a perfect amount of sunshine, and the gentle rumbling of the McKinney Street car were the perfect backdrop to a great meal. The price was right too–my entire meal came in at $24 including tax (not tip).

Walked in and felt very inviting. The waitress Misty was incredibly sweet and on top of everything we needed. To start we ordered beignets, a cappuccino and a latte. For main brunch we ate the Country Benedict and avocado toast. The Country Benedict was surprisingly fantastic. The eggs were poached to perfection surrounded by perfectly fried chicken. Which was seasoned and so moist. Topped with this hollandaise style gravy. So good. It reminded me of chicken and waffles. Now the only thing i wish i asked was for a crispier home fries. But it was buttery and delicious, almost didnt even need that extra texture of the crispy potatoes, as long as I portioned it correctly. I would come back again. Thank you Misty for food and sightseeing recommendations!

Dream Cafe is an adorable spot with an expansive patio area that caught my eye. We had the pleasure of sampling both the Country Benedict and the Farmers Omlette. The Omlette was a delightful surprise, accompanied by a side of toast and fresh fruits that complemented it perfectly. Meanwhile, the Benedict arrived with a side of hash browns and a poached egg that added a delightful touch, although I found the fried chicken could use a bit more seasoning to truly hit the spot for my palate. The energizer juice was an absolute treat, offering a rejuvenating and revitalizing experience. Their array of juices and shakes is impressive, and the option to boost your shake with added protein is a fantastic touch. One aspect that stood out to me was the attentive and courteous staff, who went the extra mile to ensure a memorable dining experience. In terms of parking, it's worth noting that validating your ticket is a breeze if you choose to park in the underground garage. A helpful tip for fellow diners: there are two garages, but only one offers ticket validation. To sum it up, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Dream Cafe. Would visit again!!

I went here for a small breakfast brunch for my birthday weekend as an alternative due to a long wait time of a near by restaurant. And I’m happy to say I was pleasantly surprised and the customer service was awesome. The manager was very accommodating due to an issue with a sub on the menu. The food was great. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was delicious! Warm syrup was served n the waffle was cooked perfectly!! Also ordered a strawberry Hennessy which the bartender was very willing to make even though she hadn’t made it before! 😊 and it was good! Will be returning very soon!

We are out of towners and really enjoyed this beautiful and inclusive restaurant! The website mentions a parking garage on the corner of two streets, but there were two parking garages on this corner. We called the restaurant and our new bestie came out to make sure we were in the right spot! We both got the strap hanger meal and it came with very yummy strawberry butter. I am not a gluten eater but I had to try the butter! It was worth it. Overall, kind and attentive service.
