Reviews of The Dream Cafe (Coffee Shop)

BC Valley Guy

As usual a great night of food and entertainment at this gem of a spot. Have been going here for years! Harry Manx was incredible!

Tony Giroux

A great location to listen to a group of musicians visiting Penticton recently. Dockside Drive entertained us and all the rest of the patrons in this packed house. Not a bad seat in the house. This is the place to visit

Zoe Kirk

Server was a total piece of work. I have only never tipped 2 times in my life and this was one of those times and a 280.00 tab they noticed when I didn't tip. I needed to make a point and I think I did. Tipped the band instead. If I could give a zero stars I would.

Ian MacLeod

Great granola hangout. If you like the library and self love? This is your place. Pretty sure I ate grass and some weeds. I think the writers of Baby Shark would love this place. The water was wet.

Absolutely the best venue in the Okanagan to hear excellent off the grid musical talent. and a new chef in house has changed up a worn out menu that needed revamping. Great food now. My FAVORITE PLACE

The best sounding concert venue I've been to. With great desserts to boot.

Amazing musicians frequently play great music here this is a treasure for Penticton. Whenever I am in town I try to come here to watch a show. Staff is super friendly and the food is fantastic. Highly recommended the Dream Cafe!

April Valentine

SInce the Dream Cafe opened, it has provided Penticton with connection to an amazing world of roots, folk, jazz, and blues music. The venue is set up to enjoy live, intimate musical performances and the talent that crosses the stage is phenomenal.

Dinner

Patrick Longworth

Horrific experience. Coffee came after the food (ordered half hour earlier). The bacon side arrived before the coffee or meals, and was cold before food arrived. Received wrong order first. Waited for the correct order which came out without requested mods and cold. Our server was being trained and she was great, but was given too many tables by management and her trainer was absent. Had to ask 3x for the bill.

This place is fabulous... I am in love with their roasted veggie salad.... the atmosphere is nice and the food is always fresh and delicious!

Gary Haupt

We were in Penticton for the weekend and walked into the Dream cafe and were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere, the service and the entertainment was very good. The food menu was a simple one with not too many choices to choose from, however both dishes my partner and I picked were well prepared and yummy ! The only thing we disliked was that the cover charge for the entertainment was a little too much as it was a given we would order food and alcohol too. Would defenitely go back.

Annie M

Molto Bravo! Very Well Done! Both the Sunday String Band and The Screendoor did a magnifico or magnificent job this evening. Compliments to the Chefs for all of the gluten-free food I ate!

The Dream Cafe is a unique venue for excellent entertainment. Jim Byrnes took us back in time with his life stories and great music. We were disappointed with our meal though, as two of our three orders were burnt.

A wonderful place to enjoy live music.

gerald gabriel

We enjoyed the music and the ambience

Jennifer Vincent

Great music. The focus is on the performance. Get there early to visit with your friends then sit back and enjoy the show. The food is much better with the new owners.

terryn kennedy

very nice place ..however very slow

Wendy Southworth

prices are a little exorbitant. we chose to eat elsewhere before the (great) show and we were glad we did; it still cost $55+ for 2 small slices of dessert ($10 each - more than our dinner was elsewhere) and a $22 pitcher of sangria. (it was 9.50 per glass, so the pitcher was economical, at least...)

Lynette Wells

Amazing food and great service. Could not ask for a better out of town experience. ????????

Dwight Taylor

I went to see David Vest the other night and this place was awesome

Dave Hopkins

Great music, great atmosphere, great time.

Dave Tilley

Got to the Cafe early for a show. Really good service and despite the tight quarters, we were very comfortable. The food was excellent. The acoustics are excellent for a restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Ritu Sood

So great! Awesome place for musicians and fans as well. Everyone is so respectful in the room built for listening! Incredible acts and great staff! Bartender knows her stuff!!

Marcel Lehmann

Recently enjoyed Revolutson and Lisa Brokop! Wonderful entertainment with great food! It’s a very comfortable and intimate entertaiment venue!

Jarrod Wiesner

This is a legendary music venue in the Canadian music scene. The food is fantastic, the sound is stellar, the staff are ever-so-sweet, and the acts that this team books are amazing. This is a listening-environment venue - if you’re craving an interactive and special musical experience, this will fill your cup. A lot of work and a lot of love go into this little gem. Do yourself a favour and enjoy dinner and a show at The Dream Cafe.

Ted Veale

John Armstrong

I was fortunate to win an opportunity to attend a Dream Cafe concert for Awna Teixeira. The cafe is a cozy dining cafe with a stage for musicians or other performers. The menu was a unique dining experience from the drinks to the food. The concert was wonderful, the food very tasty. I recommend The Dream Cafe for both dining and entertainment. I won the chance to see Tanika Charles there at a later date and enjoyed the music and food! I highly recommend the cafe as a music venue and for the dining experience.

Murray Swales

Great venue! Amazing entertainment!

John Schneider

Can't go wrong with a wonderful venue like this. For some reason it is having financial problems, to which I can't figure out why, but we continue to go and have a wonderful time in this unique and intimate live music venue.

Renee Wright

The business hours is all wrong, I was there at 10 and it was close

Darren Schwartz

great atmosphere, great entertainment (looking at you, tiger moon ????????), great food, and great service (brittany!)!

The Elrancho's Dave Martin

A most wonderful venue for live music. One of the best.

Natalie Bader

A quaint bistro with a eclectic menu and awesome entertainment.

Sunnie Lindell

Don't go here for breakfast! Waited 50 minutes and was the served cold. Paid for our coffees and left. Unfortunately, we were not the only ones who waited so long. Another lady came up to our server and said they had not received their breakfast and had been waiting 45 minutes.

Tami La Mirande

This place is romantic and comfy. Food is good too

deborah smith

Fantastic music, great food, friendly service. Highly recommend

Shari Beresford

Great food, outstanding music

Lindsay Guerard

Great venue for listening to a broad genre of artists from all over North America. Tapas menu is good.

Not the place to go if you want to dance. It would be a good place to listen to mellow music but not anything else.

Loved the small setting with awesome acoustics for show nights. Great food! Try the Turkish balls.

Jerry Wasylyk

Each time you enter the front doors, Deb and Pierre make you feel as though they are entertaining you at thier home, in a relaxed comfortable way; the best! The Dream's food, service, entertainment and ambience is one of the reasons I stayed living in Penticton. Amazingly, you can see entertainment giants such as Matt Anderson, Jill Barber, Eric Bibb and Carlos Del Junco in an intimate setting. By the end of the evening, you feel as though you know them! Nowhere else I go, do I consistently know half the patrons/audience. All of this at an affordable price! An oasis in all seasons.

Greg Bradley

Amazing night of food and music

BC.Valley. Guy
