We are still using the Giancarlo coffee by Grinders but the difference is in the education and experience of the coffee makers. See all staff here have been vigorously taught in how to make a good reliable coffee. I believe the quality of coffee has improved a lot as this is an aspect i used to ignored in the past.

The place is more than welcoming now and have currently increased the menu to supply more home cooked style meals. Everything from your basic Foccacia to steak, pasta, pizza and even tapas. The new liquor license is also helping out as it complements the meals. And all you sugar junkies never fear as all the wonderful cakes and sweets are still our main products.

So a big thank you once again to all the critics and all of the supporters. Without you all, this would not have been possible. We hope to see you all again soon, and for those that have not been here, we invite you to come and see for yourselves.

Thank you Vasilios Katsaras

It’s good to see someone to take the time out to write on this page, but obviously hasn’t been to the cafe in the past 12 months.

Hi, i’m the owner here at Dreams and have a few comments to make for myself. We have been here for 3 years now and have made substantial changes to the cafe since first opening. We appologise if we are not up to the standard of the cafes which have been in the area for 20 years, nor have a million Dollar Backing to setup, BUT I DON’T SEE THEM ON THIS WEBSITE. Hmmm Why?

The decore has just been updated and renovation are due in May. Still it seems to me that people expect a miracle over night. But forget the decor, hospitality is all about the people, quality and service which is what DREAM CAKES CAFE STANDS FOR AND BELIEVES IN. It seems that thought this is the most important aspect of any cafe, many have forgotten what HOSPITALITY actually stands for. NOT DREAMS. The only cafe to offer friendly and prompt service. Decor has nothing to do with it. If you like to wait for your coffee then you have come to the wrong place!!!!!!!!

We have tried several coffee blends which have all been tested by the Guys at the Melbourne Coffee Review. (Great job by the way). The bean we started with was a Brazillian bean from Grinders which we found every cafe to be using the same thing. EVEN ALL THE BIG BRANDED NAMES. We have since changed to Giancarlo from Grinders which earnt us the title of HOT SHOTS on the Melbourne coffee review. P.S. THE ONLY CAFE TO LEAVE A GOOD IMPRESSION ON THE TEAM AT MCR.

Cakes are always plentiful with a large range of Greek, French, Italian and even Lebanese and Turkish style sweets, and food which is always made fresh on demand. No bainemarie which holds food hot, we cook all food when ordered, if you take a seat at the cafe and took the time to LOOK AT THE MENU. Foccacia are pre prepared due to the people who work in an office don’t have the time to sit down, granted. OUR SPECIALTY THOUGHT IS SPANAKOPITA AND TIROPITA, which is distributed all over Melbourne, even to several Cafes on Chapel street, for all the materialistic people out there.

So i would like to say a quick thank you to all the people out there who have supported us from day one, and to all the current regular customers. Don’t worry we still know who you all are and how you drink you coffee. So when the next time you leave from, st Albans, South Yarra, Doncaster, St kilda, Richmond, Northcote etc your coffee will be waiting for you on the table.

I’ve noticed some great improvement in staff & some nice touches added to the cafe (the current decor is warm & inviting), all the very best to the owner, Vas, he’s done a wonderful job at turning the shop around in the last 12 months… Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing your cafe sky rocket – as long as I still get a table
