    Fun, low key place to watch or perform acoustic music. Good people, good vibes. This is not a 'coffee house' though, so don't come here if you are looking for a Mocha or anything but a generic pot of coffee that you would find at a roadside diner.

    This is a great place that hosts a wide range of acoustical performers. However, the fact that they still require masks long after even the hospitals no longer have a mask requirement and the WHO has declared the pandemic over is an impediment to participation. Let my people breathe! It says a lot about this place that they used my legitimate complaint as an opportunity for advertising. It's shameful that they did that, and that masks are mandatory instead of voluntary.

    My daughter & I had an excellent time tonight! Intimate & friendly venue that allows you to truly experience not only the music, but the musicians as well. Can't wait to head back soon!

    Super quaint and perfect for the entire family. This is a very small and sweet unassuming venue .. exactly the way I believe the operator wants it.

    Best listening room in the area. Not a bar or restaurant. It's all about acoustic performance at this one-of-a-kind venue. Great open mic on Thursday nights.

    This is such a cool bar. I think Fiddler's Dream Coffee House is the best bar north park, dancing all night with my girls can't be beat. also a good place to eat and watch sports during the day.

    This is the longest running all acoustic showcase in the Valley! This venue is run as a non-profit: performers play for tips -- the servers are volunteer. The coffee is good, (herbal & black tea options) go with a fresh brownie or yummy cookie. I & many others have performed there for a span of 18+ years. Come see one of Phoenix's best places for a warm reception & great intimate musical performances.

    We were invited here to perform on the 5th of May..... It's not human possible to explain the account of love floating around this place, and the people.... Arguably the best thing that happened to me thus far in 2018. I found a family, and a second home.

    Chose Fiddler's Dream for my first-ever in-person open mic performance last week, and what a fabulous experience! Intimate venue and everyone there was friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to go again!

    If you enjoy music, an electic group of people and genuine kindness, you will like it here. 💕

  • 5/5 william barragan l. 5 years ago on Google
    This is a wonderful place to listen the Folk American Music, just for a low contribution and a cheap coffee cup, you can enjoy more than 15 musicians playing great instruments (many forgotten by the music industry).

    Fiddler's Dream Coffee House is a delightful little place that features acoustic music and is run by volunteers. The performers, Jamie Anderson and Dierdre McCalla were wonderful as well.

  • 5/5 Pearl G. 4 months ago on Google
    For coffee lovers, Fiddler's Dream Coffee House is a quaint sanctuary. The well-made drinks and the welcoming ambiance encourage unwinding. The whole experience is enhanced by the cordial service. A great option for people looking for good coffee in a cozy setting. Strongly suggested for a great cup of coffee.

    Incredible experience and such a welcoming atmosphere, an absolute joy <3

  • 5/5 Chaim W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for folksy music. Coffee is basically Folgers brewed in a coffee pot, but you don't go there for the coffee. It atmosphere.

  • 1/5 Cody R. 4 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately they are very stingy about their rules...its hard to be aware of them when none of the things that I was told were rules on the website...very strange atmosphere too.. definitely not what I would describe as chill or cool.

  • 5/5 J.D. S. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a really enlightening experience while I was here. If you're looking to play music to work some stuff out or just enjoy music this isn't really the place for you. The guy that runs it is very rigid about rule following and free expression. I think that in this day and age if you're a club or group of tight-knit people that don't like new people you shouldn't label yourself as "open". People who blindly follow the rules of an authoritarian are unfortunately trapped in a vicious of cycle of self-affirming insanity. I refuse to bow down to anything, especially some random rule that limits who can walk in the door. Spoken word artists, composers, and most importantly true musicians should stay away.

    I used to go there when it was New in 1987 or so... Folk music venue. Non alcoholic. Non acoustic. On the Quaker Church grounds. It hasn't changed in almost 30 yrs
