Shade Tree Cafe by Dreams

DREAMS Foundation of Acadiana is proud to announce our acquisition of the legendary Shade Tree Cafe’ in Broussard! We are so excited that Chef Lonnie Pope and Eric Letulier will allow us to continue their tradition using their special recipes that we’ve all come to love. DREAMS Foundation is currently renovating the space and we will also be featuring our delicious meat pies, prepared and served right here at home, along with other special menu items.  Hope to see you in early-2026!

As a non-profit, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with special needs by providing meaningful employment, individualized living solutions and purpose-driven opportunities. Our vision for DREAMS in the DREAMS Shade Cafe' also includes a dual-purpose venue that hosts micro-weddings and other special events, while creating sustainable job training and employment through DREAMS Manufacturing and hospitality services.
