    I have eaten here about 4 or 5 times. The food and service are always consistent, amazing food, and fantastic service! Dreamland Cafe is now my favorite restaurant!! I had the beet salad and Pesto pasta with chicken, oh wow, absolutely delicious. My only concern was that I was too full to have dessert :) The chef is a wonderful person, an amazing chef, and a kind person. The staff are courteous, kind, and friendly. You need to try this restaurant, but you need to make a reservation because the secret is out there, that this restaurant is so very, very good!

    Excellent choices of tea and cozy with my niece. Checking this place out was such a treat for brunch. Bacon benedict was delicious and really liked how they played a bridgerton playlist in the background.

    We had such a great time! 3 generations. Myself, my Mom and my daughter. We were greeted and treated with genuine happiness and appreciation the entire time. Loved the tea menu and the knowledge of the waitstaff about the food and teas was outstanding. We were asked straight away about food allergies, which I feel is such an important question. We felt totally cared for. Magic moments created!! A memory the three of us will have forever.
