little dream

lunch at little dream cafe was a treat! 😍 we ordered the french toast (with a side of bacon of course) 🥓, the chicken burger 🍗, and the beef burger 🍔 my favorite was by far the chicken burger, it was packed with fried chicken, the right amount of sauce, and bacon 😋 it was so incredibly flavourful, and was paired beautifully with some waffle fries that were crispy and delicious! the beef burger was yum but could be a little more juicy 🤷🏻‍♀️ however, the flavours were all there and i still really enjoyed it! it was paired with some crispy tofu which was my favorite part of the dish tbh 😍 would highly recommend that the restaurant make a tofu burger and add it to the menu!! the french toast was beautiful and paired with some vanilla ice cream 🍦 the portion of the actual toast was a bit small, but i did really enjoy the fruits that were paired alongside it 😊 personally i think that french toast should always be paired with bacon, but that’s also me being biased 😂 overall really enjoyed it! if you’re after a cute cafe and a insta-worthy lunch then this place is definitely worth a try 👍🏼

little dream was a fantastic place located at parnell for brunch with a wide selection of food.

the staff was very accommodating to our food requests and the food was well seasoned with a good sized serving.

will definitely return again and with friends in the future.

the style of this cafe is pure and fresh. i ordered two chicken burger and unlocked zomato gold. it means buy one and one free. it is a good deal. it is valuable to visit. burgers are tasty with reasonable price and large portion.

we ordered cajun chicken and thai beef salad, both dishes were full of flavour and very well presented.

a spacious cafe. we ordered a chicken salad and a big breakfast. they are tasty but in a small serve. the mocha was perfect. it was saturday morning and not many costumers.

we came here with zomato gold and ordered a tiramisu latte, soft shell crab omelette, crispy savoury french toast, and fries.

the tiramisu latte was interesting but probably not something i’d order again. my omelette was delicious at first, although rather than being a more traditional omelette it reminded me more of a quiche. there was an abundance of imitation crab and a decent sized crispy soft shell crab. i was unable to finish the meal unfortunately as everything (particularly the crab) got too oily and salty towards the end. 

my boyfriend loved his savoury french toast and still raves about it to this day, even though it’s been three weeks since we came here. fries were nice and light. 

i didn’t find the service to be particularly friendly (staff had no smiles at all) or attentive when we came even though there were only three other tables occupied out of their very large seating area. as the cafe is quite large and spacious we felt a bit awkward as there was no music playing when we came in and while we were eating. not sure if it was deliberate or a technical issue, but during the entire hour we were there, only two songs played through the speakers. it felt a bit strange to be seated and eating in complete silence.

weeeoowww, what a feast! tucked away in small, quiet street corner, i honestly wasn’t expecting much but ooo girl, the food was soo good!! 🤩 we ordered the creamy mushrooms and the peking duck wrap. a straight up 10/10 on both of them, but the service was a tad slow.

overall, we had a very pleasant experience. the staff were super friendly, and the interior of the restaurant was clean and modern. would definitely recommend to others. we’d love to come back to try their pancakes and other dishes! 👅😍

awesome ambience and place. loved the food and service. highly recommend this place.

very spacious seating and clean design. great food, had the rice burger which was delicious. the chicken was cooked so well and so tasty. coffee not bad either. definitely recommend !

friendly staff. tasty food. loved the thai beef salad and the lamb chops. tasty and portions appropriate

me and my friend went for brunch at this cafe, one of the best frenchtoast we have ever tasted! we will come back here again!
highly recommend this place

this place is a hidden gem! came here on a friday afternoon (around lunch time) and was pleasantly impressed by the spacious yet clean interior! it had gentle touches of the right decorations to give the place a little more dreamy vibe to it!

the menu was extensive and full of options, even for vegetarians too, which i was impressed by and excited about! finally was i able to order a big breakfast without having to take out half of the meat items - and that’s what i ordered, the veggie big breakfast! my friend ordered the soft shell crab omelette.

the veggie big breakfast was heavenly! a collection of all the simple breakfast foods all in one. the presentation of the food was great for both dishes and the portion sizes were generous as well! if i had to be a bit nit-picky i’d say the food was a bit bland (although there are salt&pepper shakers at each table), otherwise i am stoked with the food we ordered here.

overall a lovely visit and would for sure visit again come the chance!

absolutely love little dream cafe! i’ve been here twice now and each time it’s been so delicious! the pancakes and french toast are beautifully decorated and come with really good sides. the hot choc and coffee is also really good. it’s a bit quiet on the weekends but the ambience is really nice. can’t go wrong, highly recommend (ps try the pancakes!!!)

lil hidden gem in parnell. the guy there was very nice and so welcoming! my hot chocolate was on the warm side as i like my hot chocolate super hot which i should have mentioned to them but here we are. anyways i ordered the big breakfast (cant remember) and was so delicious. hubby had same thing and finished his plate in 5mins lol very quiet place on sunday but a few families were there also. perfect place for a quiet brekky. also zomato gold was a bonus! win win.

omg it’s my new favorite cafe in auckland! love it so much. definitely worth the wait. will be back every weekend i promise! the smoothie are so nice and thick with no ice and no water. my kid love it ! the lamb i ordered is amazing. and they even have cotton candy in the french toast !!
all the food are great and with fine ingredients. the staff and the owner is extremely friendly! definitely recommend to everyone!
