If you find yourself wandering down the charming streets of Remuera in Auckland, make sure to visit Dreamers Cafe, a delightful gem that promises to wrap you in warmth and comfort from the moment you step through its doors. Tucked away at 148 Great South Road, this quaint cafe resides in a beautifully restored early 1900s house, enveloped in a garden that beckons with the promise of relaxation and nostalgia.

The heart of Dreamers Cafe lies in its homey atmosphere and the flavorful dishes that grace its menu. Start your day on a high note with their breakfast offerings; imagine fluffy pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, or the heavenly French toast that’s perfectly crisp on the outside, warm and custardy on the inside. For a savory kick, the Omelette filled with fresh vegetables or the classic Egg, Tomato, Mushroom on Toast are must-tries that embody comfort in every bite. And if you’re feeling peckish later in the day, options like Chicken + Cheese + Avo Toasted promise to satisfy while letting you linger a little longer in this quaint spot.

But the culinary delights don’t stop there. Refresh yourself with an extensive drink menu that includes expertly brewed Long Blacks, smooth Cappuccinos, and indulgent Mochaccinos. For something cozy, opt for a Chai Latte or a classic Hot Chocolate, creating the perfect companion to your chosen dish.

Guests rave about the atmosphere, often feeling as if they are dining in a lovely aunt’s home rather than a cafe. Customer reviews, like Maggie H’s, highlight not just the delectable food but the heartfelt hospitality that welcomes each visitor. One visit, and you’ll understand why she walked forty minutes to enjoy this charming experience—“one of the best cafe experiences I have ever had!” she said, and countless others agree.

This cafe is also wonderfully pet-friendly, making it a perfect spot for those who want to enjoy a meal without leaving their furry friends behind. As noted by Yogesh Nath, the backyard is a delightful space filled with fruit trees and charming pot plants, making it ideal for casual gatherings or celebrations.

The friendly service is another highlight for frequenters like Steve H, who fondly recalls his visits spanning over two decades. Here, the staff genuinely care about each guest, ensuring that your experience is nothing short of exceptional.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast before exploring the vibrant neighborhoods of Auckland or looking for a cozy spot to unwind with friends, Dreamers Cafe stands out as a perfect choice. Stop by, soak in the atmosphere, and treat your taste buds to the enchanting flavors this lovely cafe has to offer.

I'm so glad I read the reviews and visited this beautiful little cafe today! Well worth the forty minute walk it took me to get here, along with the train ride from Swanson. One of the best cafe experiences I have ever had! Everything was perfect. Lady who works here is so lovely, from the moment I walked in I was warmly welcomed. Carrot cake was so yummy, nice coffee and I enjoyed sitting on the patio overlooking the lovely little garden. So beautiful and peaceful. I'm really looking forward to coming back! Thank you so much

A pet friendly cute cottage type cafe with indoor and outdoor settings. The owner is an old lady who is super friendly and even offered ham to our little dog. Parking available on street. Lots of space available in the backyard with fruit trees, pot plants and variety of trees. Perfect for birthday parties and other functions. You will love it .

Cute little cafe nestled inside an early 1900's house, lovely little garden out rear too. It's a place my mum introduced me to around 20yrs ago and I've enjoyed visiting ever since.

Comparatively cheap breakfast/brunch option in Auckland. Interesting decor/setup - really felt like you were dining in a home rather than a restaurant. Good selection of breakfast and lunch dishes. Also had quite an extensive drink menu. Would definitely come back again if I'm around town.

Cosy, plenty of seating and tables, feels like visiting and dining in someone's house. Priced better than most cafés and meals taste like home cooking :) Portion sizes of the different meals were a range. My teriyaki chicken was smaller than I expected but was still a bargain and other meals looked bigger

What a wonderful and enjoyable café. Best in the Market Road area. Superb back garden with plenty of seating. Old fashioned and good foods that's all home made. Had a delicious toasted sandwich here. Welcoming. Real treasure.
