    This was our first time at DreamLand Cafe and it will not be our last time. The pasta was delicious and the servers were incredibly nice. Tiramisu was to die for.

    Amazing food and great service!! Definately try the Caesar salad and the deep fried brussel sprouts!! Chicken Alfredo was also outstanding. Compliments to the chef and the entire team! Also, the affagato was such a nice touch with desserts. Thank you dreamland, you guys are killing it.
