The Dream Cafe has been a Dallas staple since 1988, when first opened the original location in Uptown. In 2016, we brought the Dream Café concept to the Lakewood community and continues to serve the East Dallas area. Long before health food was hip, we have been offering wholesome, organic global cuisine since day one. In fact, the Dream has it all, from guilty pleasures like our savory Mystic Pasta and Chicken and Waffles to a Garden Stir-fry and House made Honey-Nut Granola. We continue to care about what goes on our menu and strive to maintain high quality standards by using locally sourced ingredients, hormone free meats and organic legumes, grains and produce. You can grab a seat at our full bar, open air dining room, or just relax on our covered patio. We thank the Dallas community for the continual support!
