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!

    The place is very nice. The server was really good. The wine was in excellent. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly mr. The rest of the food was highly seasoned which is not to my taste but probably is to others. The crab cakes were good, not excellent. We had a nice dinner in a nice atmosphere with great service. What is not to like.

    My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Texas and we had a great time. We’ve lived nearby for several years and have never been, but will be back more frequently in the future. Definitely recommend!

    As always, the best there is. Service is always impeccable, steaks are top notch, quality wise and flavor wise. The wood burning grill is a sight for sore eyes and a balm for sore nostrils!!! We are regulars and like most people we see there, it is almost impossible to finish one’s steak (I’m a big guy and a meat eater) as the portions are big and since the steaks are high grade, they automatically have a high fat (aka marbling) content (and hence contributing to the great flavor) so they are very filling, in a very satisfying way. I am confused about the review mentioning small portions! Their crispy potatoes is a must have. It sure is pricey but as the old cliché goes, you get what you pay for!
