    Great vegan options, date night perfection. Portion sizes are very generous. It’s tough to get reservations because this is such a great spot!

    Very small, but quite charming. You are not rushed, food is brought at a nice pace. Food is fresh and delicious, we had the dippers as an appetizer and I highly recommend them, bread is delicious and dips are fresh and very tasty. Staff is very attentive and friendly always with smiles. The only drawback is that we were sat beside a group of 4, and one of the gentlemen was very loud. To the point I couldn't hear my wife at times. The small seating area is quaint but has its drawbacks I guess. I will definitely eat here again and would not hesitate to recommend.

    The food was very good as well as the service and it was an outstanding value overall. More restaurants should look to this establishment for how to do it right!

    Absolutely the best brussel sprouts! The fish cocktail was decedent at first but it got really salty towards the end.

    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.
