Review Little Dreamer Cafe - Brisbane

Raani Maharaj
Having heard a lot about how good the food here is, I had to go and experience it myself -it was amazing! Great coffee, unique menu options to jazz up traditional breakfast items. The food was delicious and presentation so beautiful. Customer service was friendly. Definitely keen to visit more and try more delicious meals

I absolutely love coming to Little Dreamer. I always come to try their share platters and their smoothies are yummy. Their share platters have the best spreads. The cafe has such a beautiful atmosphere and the staff are so welcoming. • share platter for 2

Came in for Valentines brekky this morning. The service was fantastic right as we stepped into this little Cafe. Highly recommend the Red Velvet pancakes they were amazing + the presentation on point. We had a great experience and will be back! Thank you 😊

One of my favourite cafes !! 💗 The food is delicious and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. The share platter is a must try. Everything on it is amazing. I’ve also had the salmon poke on the menu, it’s one of my favourites. The breakfast tower was delicious; a lot for 2 people to finish though. Highly recommend this place.

Food looks nice but taste wise not. Bacon wasn’t cooked enough (as you can see from the photo) toast were wet and soggy and not toasted at all, most things were just warm and apparently not cooked freshly on order. Flavour of everything were just salty but lack of balance. The only thing I’d love to compliment is the customer service as the staff are all friendly and nice
Jo Gamble
Absolutely delicious! This was my first time here and it won't be the last. We had the share platter for two and it was just the perfect amount of food. Next time I'm getting one of their towers!! 😋

Great little gem in the heart of Calamvale and not to far from Nottingham Road as it’s positioned on Beaudesert Road, one of its main thoroughfares. Good quality food that was very presented, staff were very friendly and the pricing is reasonable. There was two minor things that let it down. I’ve experienced better platters elsewhere and the red velvet pancakes were extremely sweet. I could feel my teeth cavities weren’t so impressed. Other than those miner things. It’s got a lot going for it. I’d visit again and make recommendations to friends and family.

Little dreamer's is a cute little cafe in Calamvale, they serve good quality food for very reasonable prices. The red velvet pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet, quite interesting adding ferry flossing on top. The Halloumi stack was nice too. If you are the same food in Westend or New Farm you'll be paying well over $20 for the same quality, so I recommend checking this cafe out. Customer service and coffee was good too!

Beautiful big breakfast and lovely art work on the hot chocolate/coffees. Have been here twice and have enjoyed both times. Food and drinks come out very fast, make sure to book though as they are very busy on the weekend.

Have tried the steak and chicken burger and can say the quality of food is amazing for the price. Paired with a smoothie and their green juice. Definitely well worth it!
Kelly
The location outlook not as expected but food was tasty 😍😍 didn’t get to take picture at the restaurant but took some nice pics of food. Food presentation and food taste was great ! Not sure if will head back again as it’s a little far from where I live but it was worth the drive .

Recommended by our lovely friend @Elizabethle we had brunch at Instagram’s cutest cafe - Dreamer’s Cafe! This was before the Covid dine-in restrictions were in place so we had the opportunity to be seated in the cafe and take some sweet as brunch photos. When we arrived at the cafe the staff were lovely to us and the atmosphere was really calming. ⁣<br/>We ordered the Dreamer’s Share Platter for two ($44), a Watermelon frappe ($7) and a Matcha Latte ($5). <br/><br/>When the platter arrived we thought that it was a small meal but honestly we struggled to finish it because there were some many different food sides within it like the little açai cups and the avo bread. Overall, we would order the platter again but we would pass on the two drinks because the platter was filling enough. If you want an instagramable place to take your girlfriends or your loved ones this is definitely the place to go!⁣<br/>⁣<br/>Dined on: 6th of March 11am⁣<br/>Taste / Uniqueness: 7/10⠀⠀⁣<br/>Value: 5.5/10

Little Dreamer’s Breakfast Tower has appeared on a few must-try breakfast lists, but it was really the other menu items that eventually drew us to visit. Although the Breakfast Tower promised an abundance of savoury and sweet items that was another step further than the big breakfasts offered in most places, the big breakfast is rarely an item we order in general, as while it tests an eatery’s ability to do the basics well (which is usually what a big breakfast comprises), it doesn’t show off their creativity or ability to combine flavours.

A beautiful small store, decorated in flowers and greens. Came here on Saturday afternoon, the place was rather empty, yet somehow the staff insisted that I could not sit inside and had to sit outside.<br/><br/>Ordered the Poke Bowl and the Fried Chicken Burger. Both menus were in a big portion, cooked nicely. The Poke Bowl was okay; tasted healthy but rather dry, could add some more sauces. The burger had a great texture and sauce. Also ordered the Watermelon Frappe, tasted rather bland but nothing really special.<br/><br/>For the rather expensive price, the portion was generous yet the taste was below my expectation. Definitely will come back here if I am in the mood for breakfast with pretty pictures.
Amber Deambrogio
One of my absolute favourites cafe’s in Brisbane. The Benedict is the perfect combination of flavours. Great coffee and service is always wonderful.
Tarryn Williamson
Presentation of the food is good, taste is very average and coffees are not so good.<br/>Service can be improved, having a smile on your face is not so hard.
Jasika Bassi
Although the presentation of this place is good, the platter for 2 was very disappointing. It is highly priced and lacks flavour. Was very dry. The salad didn’t have any dressing, nor was there any on the side. The sweet potato fries were good, but a bit random. Mushrooms were below average. Will not be coming back.

Phuong Tran and I visit for coffee and dessert after our Malaysian lunch. Warmly greeted by our helpful Brazilian waitress and after much discussion we finally decide on our choice of dessert. <br/><br/>Our Red Velvet Pancake ($17) looks beautiful! Looking like a Pancake Club Sandwich with ice cream and fresh strawberries, a scoop of Vanilla ice cream with a “wig” of Fairy Floss sits atop these Pancakes. The fresh Strawberries, Blueberries, Oreo crumbs and Cream complement the Pancakes and makes this a delicious dessert. <br/><br/>The aromatic Coffee here is always good, served hot and strong. We enjoy ourselves here and will return for Breakfast. Thank you guys!

Lovely brunch, especially the croissant with pork inside, it was a great experience.
Phoebe Lam
Fried chicken burger and sweet potato fries: 7/10<br/>The chicken was tender inside but not as crispy as expected. The bun was a bit too buttery for my liking but the chips and other components of the burger were good.<br/><br/>Matcha latte: 6/10<br/>Nice art and cute mug but it was a bit too gritty, not as smooth and not balanced with sweetness /bitterness as with other matcha drinks I've had.<br/><br/>Overall an average experience and none of the flavours were particularly standout. The cafe itself is mostly outdoor undercover seating so I find it hard to justify spending cafe prices when the ambience isn't as nice (although to be fair the indoor section is lovely with the flowers).

Little Dreamer is a lovely little cafe located at a small compound at Calamvale.<br/>The food was delicious - the Red Velvet Pancakes had just the right amount of sweetness, the flavour of the Garlic Prawn Pasta was subtle but still tasty and the Quinoa Fried Rice was bursting with amazing Asian flavours.<br/>The smoothies and watermelon frappe were also well made and came in cute glasses.<br/>The food and drinks took a reasonable time to arrive and the staff were friendly. <br/>My only complaint is that the portions are a little small, but the taste makes up for the price.<br/>Overall, I highly recommend this place, especially if you’re looking for an Insta-Worthy meal!

Food doesn’t taste as good as the photos look, we ordred the platter and the food are all a bit bland. But otherwise love the decorations and service! :)

Visited this cute little cafe hidden in Calamvale on a rainy day and we were not disappointed. Our drinks were served within 5-10 minutes and our food not long after. <br/><br/>The share platter for 2 was generously portioned and we enjoyed the sweet potato fries the most, while others were just the standard cafe food. We did wish the avocado on sourdough had a little bit more flavour to it as it was pretty dry. The food and drinks were beautiful apart from the metal teapot 😆
Samantha Yim
Loved the red velvet pancakes . Light and fluffy, with a great balance of flavours . Usually not a person that prefers sweet things for breakfast but overall it was not sickly sweet . The Dreamers breakfast had great variety on the plate which my partner enjoyed. Definitely would come back again for the pancakes
Krystle Gallichan
Wanted to try this cafe as it was featured in brunches to brag about. The service and the food were sensational. I had the caramelised pork belly croissant with a side of haloumi and a hash brown. My only critiques were that the haloumi was more like mozzarella (not as salty or squeaky to eat) and I’m not a huge fan of their coffee brand. It was all very well presented and in a beautiful atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely morning! ☺️
Vik
It's safe to say that Little Dreamer has become easily become one of the better cafes on the Southside. The coffee could have done with a bit more heat, I'm personally not a lukewarm coffee guy
Eliza Mae Lapurga
What a delicious start to our day! I had the Chilli Pork Croissant purely for the caramelised pork belly - and it did not disappoint! I can’t handle spice well at all, and was happy to know that they were able to just put the chilli on the side instead of throughout the meal. Fluffy eggs, buttery croissant, what more could I ask for 🥰 also ordered the watermelon frappe which went amazingly with the pork belly! The BF ordered their poke bowl which was also deelish. Service was extremely friendly, and didn’t have to wait long for our food at all! Definitely recommend and I can’t wait to come back for more! 😋

TL;DR: Possibly just as much an art project as it is its own well-run cafe, Little Dreamer is definitely one that you couldn't miss walking past even in a haze. So much colour exudes right from the doorway, which is an indication of what is in store. They have hopped on board the Japanese-style breakfast (which I have grown to really like) where they put Asian spins on all kinds of breakfast and lunch favourites from around the world, plus many kinds of cold drinks to wet your whistle. Reasons do exist for this place to be hustling.<br/><br/>Around this part of the world, the time between Christmas and around about before February, businesses are at their quietest. It gets particularly pronounced in the last week of the year. This came to a head on that last Sunday, when a lot of businesses are closed making it hard to find a place. Right on the day, on the morning, my house mate was at a loss for where to go - and I became the persistent one. It took a bit of trial and error, looking beyond the Zomato entries and into Facebook pages and whatnot. From what I knew, Sunnybank or just going Asian was the safest bet. I also aimed to stay in the southern area. Well, all of this led to finding Little Dreamer was open during that time of year - and that was decided. Getting there, it was a case of managing to squeeze in a table. No dramas! <br/><br/>It is not in the most aesthetically striking, nor most trendy of places within town. In fact, the complex where it gets situated is yet another one of many bland shopping junctions around the outer areas of town. The folk here turn it into an opportunity, with a big massive cherry blossom plant signalling where they are. Inside has even more flowers, coming across a bit like a florist. Having a look around, especially with the waitstaff, it should become apparent very quickly that this is one place that lives and breathes aesthetics. It is a wonderment of Technicolour - that might be an understatement. <br/><br/>When it comes to the service, this is in a weird sort of middle zone. Not anything about it is out and out awful, yet to say that it is pretty good is a misnomer with many example of how great service can even come from small places in which here doesn't compare. With all else given great attention to detail, service is basic. Essentially you go up to the counter to order, pay, and they eventually find you with the order. Water and the ilk is up to you, with it being right on the counter to collect. It isn't without some big credit, such as the fact the food comes out fairly quickly. Plus, to give them some decent credit - they were also fairly busy at the time. <br/><br/>Whether it was a special case they were open or otherwise, the menu definitely did a good job in catching my eye. If something is becoming apparent now, it is that Asian-fusion style brunches are starting to become a norm. If that is the case, it is one I will say welcome to. It perfectly sums it up, where they put an Asian-style influence (mostly Japanese) on all kinds of breakfast favourites from around the world. While keeping an apparent and underlying theme in tact, they managed to expand the horizons pretty far in about a dozen or so options. Each one was practically a photo-shoot waiting to happen. If choice is getting a bit hard, they have three sizes for a share platter. Still keeping that distinct Asian-fusion flavour in tact, moving onto the lunch time dishes includes some pastas, burgers, salads and the ilk. <br/><br/>But you know that it has the Japanese influence all over it when the drinks menu arrives. It favours both hot and cold, giving the usual tea and coffee options for the former and getting the creative juices flowing for the latter. No pun was intended there with the pressed juices they have. Also, any kind of coffee drink is practically available in the iced variety. A few different smoothies are also there, as de facto milkshakes (which might be there, I can't remember). What really gets their creativity to the front line is the range of frappes. Only a few are present, but each one gets distinct from the other. <br/><br/>After all of this, they still got that cabinet. The one with a range of sweets if something sweet after the meal - or rather then - is to your liking. It is all covered pretty well here, and that is possibly why it has captured such attention. <br/><br/>Getting into the groove, the first battle plan was what drink to have. Well, it was one quite hot summer akin to walking in a sauna. Adding to that, it was time for the coffees. With it all being the right time of year and day, having the cold options on the menu was quite the relief. Hence, it was an iced long black. They put a good amount of ice in here, and the strong flavour of coffee was more pronounced as usual. It did its job well. <br/><br/>When it came to ordering the food part, truth be told a lot did catch my eye - even after the meal is done. While this was not overall the most tempting, I have found when it comes to finding a new way around the classic eggs Benedict I get suckered in. This time around, it was basically a case of "how can I not"? Instead of bread, they used fried croquettes - potato and zucchini. This then had the usual poached eggs (soft yolk yet again) and spinach, then the hollandaise sauce - but this time, they mix some sriarcha into it. Going on from there, they have a couple of the usual meats but get a couple of characteristic ones. Them characteristic meats are usually why they catch my eye, and this was why: some irresistible pork belly as the meat. Because I could, on the side I ordered some beer battered fries. These came with some aioli. <br/><br/>It may not have been the biggest breakfast that I have had, even in recent memory, yet it sure ended up being among the most filling. Each component about it was absolutely delicious in the best way possible. You couldn't have cooked those croquettes any better. The batter was perfect, and when cutting into them the potato was finely mashed, and supported with the zucchini's flavour. That was before the thick, and fiery hollandaise smothered it. Mixing that sauce with the sauce formed from a soft yolk, it soon becomes a rave on the taste buds. The thick piece of pork belly made it even better, cooked perfectly in a German-style. It was tender where it needed to be, got a slight bit of crisp in it with the well rendered rind, and that said rind went down the throat like butter. Plus, the fries on the side were well seasoned, crispy, and quite hot. This is my sort of breakfast. <br/><br/>In the end, Little Dreamer is pretty lively in many cases of the word. Even without much competition open at the said time, the crowd here is definitely enough of an indication that they are doing something right. It is the case where it is not absolutely perfect after giving it some thought, though in that assessment not that much was really too off about it. Breakfast basically went well, going in expecting something delicious, and it delivered. A couple of stand-out aspects are there, yet all-in-all it is one more competent place that has attracted heaps of clients. <br/><br/>Final rating: 4.0

I had tried coming here before but it was fully booked. We were seated quickly and our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions The food was delicious and all components were done well. The food came out quickly. Would come back again.

After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to give this local Cafe a try. Coffee's temperature and presentation were nice, however my latte's froth was very thin, more like a flat white. Food came out promptly and I wasn't disappointed at the taste and presentation either, but the food was more at the cold side which other reviews have mentioned. Overall a cute local cafe to hang out at.<br/><br/>One lil disappointment was when I asked for a jar of cold water, the female barista said to me bluntly 'I don't speak Chinese' and then walked away...So I had to grab the male barista's attention who was helpful:)
William T
Love the place. Came across this cafe through Zomato and so glad I decided to drop by. Had Dreamer's Platter and it was delicious. It's just enough for both of us and the variety of items on the platter was the right amount. Didn't feel as we had too much of one ingredient or lack the other. Would tell my friends of this place and would drop by again some time .. well done guys..
Jaso_lu
The most despicable food ive ever tasted. Pancakes were as tasteless and boring as a slab of cardboard, funny enough it looked like they spent more time decorating it rather than tasting what they are charging for $19.
Benji
Great little cafe, tucked away in Calamvale. The decor of the cafe had a vintage vibe to it and was well presented. I ordered a share platter for two and it had a great variety of food! The latte wasn't too bad either. The food is a little bit more on the pricier side as well. Service was prompt and the food came out rather fast (keeping in mind I went on a Monday morning).
Miso Hungry
Second time eating here I thought I would give it another chance and wow was I disappointed :( took over 45 minutes to receive my very small plate of food and I left thinking me so hungry! I went with the waffle and when it came out my piece of fried chicken seemed to have been cut in half Before being placed under a fried egg and a couple of leaves.. the coffee came out promptly enough however they seriously need to either consider the bean the are using or barista they have hired. I’m not sure what happened today but it seems I have caught them on a service to forget. Keep dreaming little dreamer...
Anson
The decor of this cafe is cute! Service was a bit slow but the food was wonderful. You can tell the quality of ingredients is high. I recommend any of their platters, the variety is quite good!
Masahito Takemura
A hidden gem in the Southside of Brisbane. Don’t be fooled by its location. Definitely a great place for a feed! Dreams be dreams but this one is a dream come true
AEM
This hidden gem is a must do for an aesthetically pleasing and delicious meal! I had the smashed avocado with halomi and smoked salmon on the side with a banana and mango smoothie. Completely delicious and I can’t wait for my next visit to Little Dreamer.
@lydiaeatsbrisbane
We visited this little hidden gem located in Calamvale on a Friday for a late lunch and were surprised to see the cafe still bustling with quite a few people. We decided to sit inside where the cafe was beautifully decorated with homely decor and bright colours. The service to get us seated was very prompt and the staff members were very happy to be of service. <br/><br/>The first thing we ordered was the acai bowl. This acai bowl was quite disappointing. The bowl was very small and we were not a big fan of the granola. The granola didn't have a crunch that most acai bowls usually have. The kiwi was also quite sour (which is a seasonal thing which we understand). The texture of the acai however, was really well blended. However, for its price point of $14 I think that there are other locations that have better value for money. I would not reorder this acai bowl. <br/><br/>We also ordered the red velvet pancakes. These pancakes had been all over my instagram feed recently so I decided to visit the cafe with the intent of eating these and I was surely not disappointed. The pancakes were a little pricey but they were delicious! The pancakes were light, fluffy and still warm on the inside. The strawberries on the inside along with the ice-cream all wrapped up in a bite with red velvet pancake was one of the best flavours. These pancakes were a standout and a definite Instagram worthy picture.<br/><br/>We also ordered a drink which was the watermelon frappe. This drink was so delicious! The texture of it was great too - it had a texture of watermelon juice along with ice chunks (like a sno-cone). This drink was so fresh and fun to drink! The lime and mint flavours made it fresh but weren't overpowering.<br/><br/>Overall we were quite satisfied with our visit to Little Dreamer. We won't be reordering the acai bowl but definitely could go for seconds of the red velvet pancakes. For our next visit we would love to try the share platter or the tower to get a taste of everything!
Jae.tii2109
We had a good experience the first time but our second visit was a let down. Had the pulled duck burger and grilled salmon salad... the fries were a little soggy, the salad had way too much chilli in it, my matcha latte tasted bland like water..
Danelle Lim Yun
We ordered the pork belly croissant, red velvet pancakes and egg Benedict with pork belly. The food was delicious, especially the pork belly croissant. The pancakes were a little dense and the white chocolate ganache got a tad cloying. Service could be better. The waitress forgot one of our orders and came back 10-15minutes later to ask for our order again.
Pawel Krawczynski
Great place. It is my local cafe. They know exactly how I like my coffee and they get it right every time. Their food has been getting better each visit. They obviously are still finding their feet and are trying really hard to get better. They always take advice on-board and try really hard to make changes to make customers happy. I would highly recommend sending them a private message or speaking to them if you want something changed as they actively listen. <br/>My daughter absolutely loves the place as you can see by the reaction on her face :)<br/>This is also a pet friendly place and my dog always get a bowl of water and if he is lucky the left overs from our plate.
Judy Shilton
Fantastic brunch on a Sunday morning - very busy because Little Dreamer is so good and the words got around.  Great food, extraordinary presentation, excellent friendly, efficient service - definitely the best around.  We will look forward to regular bunches at this little café and we'll be telling all our family and friends.  Congratulations to the owners for being different!
Annabella Yao
Atmosphere is okay, but the taste of these three dishes are disappointing and overpriced compared to other popular cafes in Brisbane.<br/>I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I come to this shopping complex every week and look st shop everyday I had finished and new I needed nuroushment prior to my next task involving Bunnings<br/><br/>The shop is light airy and

Little Dreamer is a cafe located in Calamvale and they are very well known for their platters and family boards. We’ve always wanted to try this cafe as we’ve seen so many pictures from this cafe and it looked very unique. We finally managed to find some time during Australia Day to try this cafe out. It was relatively quiet when we went and was greeted as soon as we arrived by one of the waitress.
Foodie
It was busy when we arrived, however we were seated straight away. Given how busy they were, food came out quite quick. Was delicious and generous amount too.

Came here to meet up with friends for brunch on a Sunday around 12pm. This place was small and really busy, we stood there for a while (10mins and only 2 waitresses were working and both seemed really busy). When one waitress finally greeted us, she explained that the kitchen was closed until 1pm (not sure why!?) and asked if we could come back. Since the cafe was in a small complex (there wasn’t much to do) we decided to go for a walk to the nearby park. <br/><br/>After coming back exactly at 1pm, we sat down (2 other tables were almost done eating but after ordering a couple and a family came in and sat down). We ordered the “Dreamer’s Share Board” along with the “Family Platter Board” dessert to share. The food did take some time so the wait was quite long (to be fair it was a lot of food on that platter and they brought out both platters at the same time). But on the downside, food took at least 30 - 45mins so we felt a bit rushed when eating as it was around 2pm and our eating time was limited as the place closed at 3pm. <br/><br/>Food:<br/>The “Dreamer’s Share Board” was excellent (the eggs, sausages, hash browns and sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly and all had great flavours). I especially liked how they placed sliced avocados on a piece of toast (makes it easier to eat) and I really liked the taste of the strawberries on top of Nutella on toast. The presentation was amazing and it is such a great idea as there are many different elements to the platter (so you don’t get sick of eating the same thing) and it’s really easy to share with another person (definitely recommend to try!). The waitress was nice in letting us know that they did not have bacon at the time and offered options on what to replace it with (we chose sausages). <br/><br/>The “Family Platter” was delicious as well, the matcha waffles were fluffy and tasted great with the strawberries, kiwis and matcha syrup. The ice-cream was nice (something different as it was chocolate mint) but in my opinion I felt that it was a bit too much and it was difficult to share as it was in a cone and it was a hot day so it melted quite quickly. <br/><br/>Overall, the food was amazing (no faults!). I would recommend to try the platter especially as a first time because you get to try a lot of different elements however, the portion size is a lot (hence why it’s recommended to be shared among 2 - 4 people). The cost is actually much more cheaper when splitting the bill ($62 altogether for breakfast and dessert), compared to the other standard breakfast dishes of ($19 for classic big breakfast dish) and ($17 for waffles). The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that we had to rush in finishing a whole platter. Would like to come back again though 🙂

Went for brunch on a Sunday and the cafe was fairly busy. Had amazing waffles which was delicious and a smashed avoc and feta . The dream pressed juice was very refreshing.
Teresa
Coffee was awful and place was very grotty. The pretty food stack with cornetto is a good idea but poor quality eggs and bacon with relish from a dolmio jar.
Hijanicehk
Absolutely incredible service,nice food. Been there more than twice a week regularly. Strongly recommend. <br/>Thanks for providing a friendly service to my family.
Groom
I love this cafe. By far one of my favourite spots for breakfast. Their breakfast platters are incredible. It’s a unique mouth watering experience.

This is our second time back to this little cafe, as they have added more to their menu. Plenty of parking and tables, usually good to phone ahead to make a booking. They cater for prams and toddlers also.<br/><br/>We were seated promptly and staff are friendly and welcoming.<br/><br/>We ordered drinks and the family share platter which was new at the cost of $62. Has the usual staples, bacon, eggs, haloumi, waffles, mushrooms, muslei, and variety toast.<br/><br/>It was a little busy but the food came out very quickly, like within 10 minutes of ordering. Coffee and drinks pretty much straight away which was good. Coffee was not bad, touch bitter and then smooth enjoyable.<br/><br/>The food was average, nothing stand out, good spread but again, the bacon was a let down, way over done almost to the point of a biscuit. Expected more for the price, waffles were not great a little dry and bland.<br/><br/>Would try again for their other items on the menu, friendly and helpful staff.<br/>
Henry Lao
Came here for brunch the other day and got the big breakfast board. It was my second time here and was pleasantly surprised to see some new additions to the platter which was great. Service was prompt and efficient considering it was a busy Saturday morning. Looking forward to returning as I'm sure the food will be even better!
Liza
This little cafe gets a top rating for me! <br/><br/>I came here over the Christmas break, as i kept seeing it pop up. <br/><br/>The decor of the cafe is really cute, with flowers and all the furnishings. I went a little bit off the menu as i usually do, i like to sometimes construct a breakfast that isn't always on the menu, and they were so helpful and accommodating. <br/><br/>Coffee was nice and strong, just the way i like it.<br/>Food was amazing. I had a breakfast with Sausage, egg, hash brown, toast, and avocado! I know this is a pretty standard brekkie, but Little Dream does it so well! <br/><br/>I have told several friends about it already, and i can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. <br/><br/>Service was excellent, really friendly, and their table water, which is self serve, had a nice touch as there was and orange kick to it from the fountain. <br/><br/>5/5

What a beautiful Schibello flat white I enjoyed here. Have to admit I was dubious as to whether I should go for the double shot but luckily I did. Wish I would have come here for breakfast as all the food looked yum too. Not to forget the dreamy environment & copious amounts of floral drama one feels as they are entering into a dream. What a relaxing fantasyland thankyou
Sun Tellitlikeitis
The decor great, location amazing<br/><br/>Food- below average. I had high expectations. <br/>BUT i was disappointed. The quality was similar to Coffee Club- No effort, bland taste. Should of went to Woolies & did it better myself.<br/><br/>The coffee they serve is terrible.<br/><br/>Wont waste my time or money again :)
Sabrina
Been meaning to come here and check it out for a while and finally got the opportunity to. The staff were friendly enough to allow me to park my bike on the side. Had the platter which was an interesting assortment and combination of flavours. Muesli was raw and a little bit hard but otherwise the food was lovely. Decor and atmosphere was relaxing and place was quite popular for a Saturday morning as well. Wouldn't mind coming back to try other things in the menu and their drinks.
Jessica Ottrey
This is our local cafe and it is fantastic!! The food always tastes great and service is ALWAYS exemplary!! Don’t listen to the haters this is a great little cafe on the Southside well worth a visit!!!
Ryanfontelera_
Got the Family platter with a nutella frappe. Perfect portions for the 3 of us, loved the variety of different sweets and savoury servings and the cute little setup with the drapes and flowers that they have makes for a relaxing environment. Definitely recommend this place to visit 👌
Jaimz
Don’t be deceived by the look of this place. Although interior is pretty everything else was not. Our coffees were horrible; probably the worst coffee I have had in my life. <br/>The food was far from fresh and simply heated up in a microwave<br/>Don’t waste your money or time <br/>This place will be closed in a few months
Xuanyan6
Busy morning it was but customer service remained efficient and friendly. The share board we ordered was really tasty as well :) Food is always more appetizing with colour! Will be returning to try more items on the menu!
Claire Yuan
The photos of this cafe looked amazing but the meal was really disappointing, it was the worst brunch I've ever had. And I assume it is the only cafe that makes HARD-BOILED poached egg (as seen in the photo). Food was very bad and it doesn't deserve the price. Will never go again for sure.

We came as a large group of 17 and booked a reservation in advance. The staff were very accommodating in fitting us all at one long table at our request, as they had initially split us up to parallel tables. <br/>For a rainy Sunday, this place was surprisingly packed. Considering our large group, everything was ordered and food came out in a decent amount of time although the platters were a bit cold, but we did not mind because it tasted great. Overall, the family had a good experience.<br/>Prices for the Dream Board are a bit high when you average it out per person. <br/>The only minor fault was that they did not use the wind blocking curtain things as they were covered with other decoration so some of our group was cold and being rained on.

The cafe was empty at 8:30am on a Saturday morning. We sat down and were ignored for 20 minutes whilst the kitchen staff joked amongst themselves. I went in and ordered coffee. Coffee was received and we were given menu's. Another 15-20 minutes of trying to flag someone down to take our order. I ordered a half serve of waffles and was still charged full price. We were not given water, cutlery, salt, pepper or sugar for our coffee, we had to take these off the cart ourselves. This is the second time we have received atrocious service and will not be returning.

The cafe is so lovely. Good for those who love to take pictures for Instagram or Facebook. Staffs are really nice and friendly. I ordered chilli pork croissant and matcha latte. At first, I was surprised that the foods came really quick. Yet, I was even more surprised that the foods looked quite different from what I saw on the cafe's Instagram and they were cold!! - both pork and chewy croissant. Obviously, they cooked them beforehand and didn't warn them up properly before serve. This is quite disappointed for me as it took me almost an hour drive from Brisbane CBD. However, besides the look and low heat prep, it did taste yummy and matcha itself was really good.

Found this great place in Calamvale. Latte was amazing and I had the Smoked Salmon Bowl as pictured below which was incredible and very filling everything was cooked perfectly expect for the eggs weren’t fully soft but still great. Will definitely be back. Best cafe in the area by far. Well done guys.

We came here specifically for the Family Board. It looked pretty but that was pretty much it. We all agreed the waffles were dry and hard which was a disappointment. Waffles are meant to be fluffy, not a struggle to cut so we didn't end up finishing the waffles. There also seems to be a lack of serviettes/sugar sachets for the tables. My friend had to ask for a serviette after receiving her coffee which she promptly received but only the serviette. We had to obtain the sugar sachets and more serviettes from a nearby table ourselves.

You need to try Little Dreamer's Family Board if you are any sort of a big breakfast brunch lover! It is absolutely LOADED with delightful mouthfuls of the All Australian taste featuring: sausages, eggs (2 ways! Scrambled and Sunnyside up), haloumi, bacon, sourdough bread and a delectable pancake and ice cream top platter to really set those eyes watering. ;)

Friendly and quick service. The big breakfast was actually big and we couldn't finish it. The berry smoothie was freshly made. The green tea I had was not special though. According to Johnwells Chen the flat white didn't taste too good either.

Came here twice for the breakfast menu and both times I left not disappointed! Service is friendly and price of the food and beverages were decent. <br/>Favourite dish so far is the pancakes. Very fluffy and tastes fresh and delicious.

We waited for nearly an hour for our meals. We've been to this cafe 3 times now, and each time the service gets worse and worse. After half an hour we went to the counter to ask about our meals and they said they forgot, and offered us free drinks. About 10 minutes later our food came out (which was looking very average and clearly rushed) and our free drinks only came out when we went to pay for the food. The food is usually delicious and the prices are great though. You just have to wait a few hours to get it.

The previous spot of Café Diamente and is currently running by a group of passionate restaurateurs. Walked in and felt the energetic vibe within the venue. Although it was early 7:00am in the Sunday morning, every staff on the floor were ready to go for the day. Ordered a flat white and Rib fillet Salad. Flat white came within a minutes without nice art but definitely strong strength for me. Salad was ready within 10 minutes, which was spectacular. The BIG TICK was the spot-on med-rare of the steak. Together baby spinaches, cherry tomatoes and the hero ingredients of cheese, these elements orchestrated a tasteful brekkie for the day. Thumb-up.

Having been converted to being a brunch fan since around two years ago, I've definitely gotten on board with the popularity of breakfast share boards which flood my instagram feed. Living on the southside, it would usually take me a substantial drive up to New Farm to find a decent one. That is until I learned that Little Dreamers, who opened its doors earlier in the year at Calamvale, a short 10 minute drive from home, had started serving up delicious breakfast boards as well, I was very interested to try it out, which is why I found myself there with two companions mid morning last Saturday.

This cafe was severely understaffed even on a Sunday. I came with my family and made a big order and after waiting 20 minutes we finally got some table water (with dirty cups), after another 10 minutes we got our drinks and then another 30 minutes we finally received our meals. Staff were clueless and had no idea what they were doing. Staff told us they had mixed up our order, however, I found that very strange because we have been sitting here for over an hour and there was literally only 5 tables at the time. Several customers that arrived after us were served, finished their meals and had left and we were still left waiting for our meals. I recommend coming here if you're looking for a 10 hour slow cook meal!

Today we came and try this new little cafe after reading some reviews. <br/><br/>It's a nice little cafe with very friendly staff. The menu is reasonably priced.<br/><br/>After we were seated, the friendly waitress helped us order our coffee while we were reading the menu. I ordered a mocha which is nice but it's a little bit too sweet. My husband ordered a flat white which is really really good!!! My little boy suddenly wanted to get a babycino after our drinks arrived. The owner made him one for free! <br/><br/>For the breakfast, we ordered the Spanish omelette and Breakfast for one. They were presented greatly and the portion size is quite big. <br/><br/>We were very happy with our experience and we will definitely come again!

I've been wanting to visit this cafe for a while now and today I've finally got the chance to. The atmosphere in this shop is very calming and great service as well. I've ordered a matcha latte and a buttermilk cloud pancake. The matcha latte wasn't sweet but it wasn't really bitter as well and lacks the depth which Sonder's latte have but the pancake was heavenly and it was so fluffy just right amount of sweetness. The sourness of the fruits complements the pancake really well. I'm looking forward to my next visit^^

A worthy last minute decision, and so far I have no regrets! :) I wanted to take my father to a cafe/breakfast place before heading to work so I searched around - popped up a little cafe located at Calamvale (inside a small complex). <br/><br/>It was around 9:30am when my father and I arrived. The staff at the counter promptly greeted us with a "hello!" as well as a smile :) We were seated down and handed over with the menus. Flipping away the pages we eventually made our decisions to go with an Eggs Benedict, Smoked Salmon Avocado Stack and 2 Flat Whites. <br/><br/>Our food and coffees came out reasonably quick. Decent portion sizes and nice flavours. I love a strong coffee therefore despite whether it had any sort of latte art or not, I was already sold on the aroma it gave out.<br/><br/>I preferred the Eggs Benedict over the Smoke Salmon Avo Stack only because, the Avo Stack was a little dry for me. There wasn't any type of sauce to go with it, but there was a small poached egg on top so I guess that would of been the 'sauce' for the dish? :)<br/><br/>Overall, a lovely experience. Dad had a nice relaxing time. I'll definitely be back to try out there Big Breakfast For 2!! :)

Great service. The food is straight forward and done very well. Definitely going to be a regular place for us. As we're a young family, it's also kids friendly too

I'm impressed with the new layout of this lovely cafe. The cafe has a bright clean interior. All your usual brunch items could be found on their menu, inexpensive and tasty. Cloud cake, orange custard French toast & pulled duck benny is a must try. A unique yet simple take on of your usual breaky. Friendly staff & quick service. <br/>Highly recommended.

Loving this little local gem right now! Quick coffee on the way to weekend sport, late Sunday breakfast or a mid week treat! Service is great and the decor is really cute. Hubby and I tried to tackle the platter for 2 and while we didn't finish it at $32 it's an absolute bargain.
