Dream Cafe & Restaurant in Basildon

Waitresses here are really polite and pleasant. Great little place for a bite to eat. Omlette was cooked perfectly, really tasty and not greasy!

Food is lovely, always fast, price not bad But biggest asset to this business is waitress Shelly, she is always so friendly, chatty and happy Seems like she loves her job which is so lovely to see Shelly needs a pay rise

Was a regular here but after many stomach upsets I soon realised it was having breakfast at this place, I became very aware of there hygiene wasn't up to scratch, I will never come here again...Please ppl take my warning seriously.

Go here every time we vist family. But this time can't not fault the food but the grandchildren wanted a pancake we were told the item had 2 pancakes but the children only wanted one each . The waitress said she could not split the order and put a pancake on separate plates. Not impressed normally would leave a tip but not this time.

Went there and got food poisoning!!!!!

Sausage could be better, seemed like cheap things, was nothing special for the price. Didn't even have crusty bread.

I have always enjoyed their services and food until today which has nothing to do with their food. My client ordered his meal but I informed the waiter I wanted nothing but Just lemon in hot water which I take sometimes when I am having nothing in cafes or restaurant without any fee. This was not the case with dreams. My client paid for his meal and as we were about to leave , a staff walked up to me that I had not paid for my drink. I told him I had never paid for it in other cafes/ restaurant and pressured it was the same here. I also questioned the charges for the hot water and 2 tiny slices of lemon,the staff answered "its not free" I said it was fine and paid. I stepped out and told myself that was the last time I was going to patronise them.

Had a very nice roast dinner and a great experience with the Cafe lovely staff, I was served by Shelly who was both friendly and very helpful

Just dreadful. I cannot say more without being as furious as I was when the price of 1 bacon sandwich rose by £3.00 just for one additional rasher of bacon. Disgusting. Never again

The staff are so helpful. Food is lovely and reasonably priced. Good accesses for disabled. Customer toilet. Highchairs available for children.

Nice cafe for a breakfast/lunch. Really friendly staff, good choice of food on their menu. This time I tried Chicken and Bacon wrap with garnish which was tasty .

Very friendly and helpful service

All day breakfast was nice. We sat outside . The staff were friendly and price was reasonable. Food was hot toast slightly burned but they replaced it. Parking was at the back of the precinct. Had to walk around.

Always a pleaent experience Food is always amazing, staff are brilliant

Bland produce, Luke warm fresh orange. Portions good size. Service quick and attentive.

Lovely lunch. Happy waitress. Did not wait long for our meals and drinks. Lovely jacket potato and salad well presented. Hot drinks were hot. Very happy

Rude girl staff after finding a hair in my food disgusting..at it was near the end of eating it , so was told why should i not pay when i had eaten most it ..i can assure i would no way have eaten a meal with hair in 🤢had i have seen it at the start an apology would have been nice..

Always nice breakfast, good service

Great people and food is always plentiful and tasty

Foods always lovely and staff are so friendly

Had a breakfast. Had 2 bacon,egg,sausage,bubble and squeak, beans ,2 toast, and a coffee. My partner had the same as me. Was very good food . We both enjoyed our food

Food was usual cafe food that you would expect

It's was really nice and relaxing day with my housemates now and my name is James Laudat who can't wait to see you soon again and i am on what's app okay then and thanks for the your time and conditions such as your love.

Visited here today with my daughter for a breakfast each which is £6.50 each which includes tea or coffee. I don’t drink milk and had no dairy free alternatives so I had to have a Diet Coke and my daughter a hot chocolate. In total it come to £17 as I had to buy the hot chocolate and Diet Coke on top. After telling them that’s to expensive and surly the drinks should be included or pay a little change extra. Even though they don’t provide dairy free option. Totally disgusting and very crafty paying at the end, if I would have known before it would cost this much I would have gone elsewhere which would probably have a dairy free option. Will never be back again

Really friendly welcoming staff, lovely atmosphere and great food. Anything from steak to a bacon butty and a good kids menu as well. Nice and clean and a good selection of drinks

How do You Enjoy your Chips? Mine, I love it with hot sauce.😋 So from time to time yes, I do like to enjoy some chips. And why not at the Dream Cafe & restaurant. I do enjoy their breakfast. The service is quite quick and easy. They cook my Bacon just how I like Good food and decent portions. I like the white bread toast. Good smooth drinks. There is a kids' menu. The waiters are attentive and helpful. The clean is nice although there's still a space for improvement. The price is reasonable. The opening time is from 8 a.m to 5 p.m. I would indubitably recommend Dream Cafe & Restaurant.

Lovely ALL THE TIME. I always feel welcomed here and the food taste great.

The food is lovely and reasonably priced too..... Downside for me was the state of the highchairs in there, the straps were disgusting and the whole thing could have done with a good wipe over

Clean, great food served quickly, great staff!

Fantastic food good value for money and the staff are 100% wouldn't eat anywhere else.

Food was first class.Service very good.Good value for money.
