Simply Incredible!
Delicious food (wow those delicata squash donuts!!), awesome vibe, and fun and kind staff!
We tried:
Delicata squash donuts (5⭐) - so weird and tasty. Both savory and sweet (mostly sweet). Definitely get these if you go in a group.
Nachos (5⭐) - lots of good toppings, incredible chips
Corned beef deli sandwich (5⭐) - I'm not a corned beef guy, but my partner loved it. Like a NY deli!
Linguini (5⭐) - super creamy sauce. Amazing pasta
I can't wait to see the patio in the Summer!
Dreamstate Cafe is really high quality all around. The food is good (they literally won an award for the chili). There really is something for everyone. The baked goods on offer so far are terrific and hoping they add things like bagels in the future. Cocktails and mocktails here are amazing. I love how the decor, wall paintings, the beautiful bar, and the disco light! Spacious patio for outside dining. Staff are friendly and enthusiastic.

The luxury of a full vegan menu is fully appreciated in our household. We have been to Dreamstate twice, and each time we were greeted with delightful staff, a pleasant ambiance and a thoughtful menu that delivers delicious mouth watering satisfaction. Beyond the food is a full service bar offering something for everyone, not just alcohol. Another bonus the designated parking for patrons, which can be hard to find in this section of town. The prices are reasonable and the food is sooooo good.
The shedded burnt end nachos are a must! We’ve ordered them both times, and we’ve wanted to lick the plate clean each time. The corned beef sandwich is solid, and not something easily found in vegetarian circles. The fried chicken sandwich is also quite tasty. However, the pinnacle of their sandwiches in our opinion is the Pub Burger. OMG! I want another right now, so we’ll be back. Their cookies are also quite tasty.
We look forward to our next visit, most importantly for the great vegan selections but also because the staff are outstanding! Of note, the bartender made excellent suggestions and really made us feel welcome!

YUM! Dreamstate completely exceeded my expectations. The space has a calm, welcoming ambiance, and we immediately took note of the inviting outdoor patio.
As someone who’s been frequenting vegan spots for years, I was especially impressed by the creativity of the menu and the bold, well-balanced flavor choices.
I tried the Pub Burger (pictured), and the Bourbon aioli was fantastic. My husband got the Burger of the Moment, which featured their award-winning chili, avocado crema, and smoked Gouda.
The cocktail program also stood out—thoughtfully crafted, with enough variety that anyone could find something to try. I ordered the Moonbird, and it was so delicious that I actually got up, went to the bar, and thanked them on the spot. It was that good.
I’ll absolutely be recommending Dreamstate to my vegan and non-vegan friends and will be back soon to explore more of the menu. 💚
