Love coming here for brunch or just a coffee, and having somewhere to get out of the house and come relax with a book or catch up with a friend! Their coffee beverages are absolutely delicious, the food is next level, and the service is always so cheerful and welcoming. Nice ambient music makes for a super chill vibe. A couple more couch/comfy chair additions would be lovely if possible

We had a lovely breakfast here this morning. The server was really nice and welcoming. I really enjoyed the iced coffee with the coffee ice cubes. My partner had eggs benedict which he highly recommends!

Love this little cafe and it's blue piano (if ANYTHING the ONLY thing that would make it better is maybe some liquorice spice tea) everyone is super sweet and kind will always stop by when I can.

A Hidden Gem with a Personal Touch I absolutely loved this cafe! It has a soul of its own — peaceful, intimate, and thoughtfully curated. Unlike the typical chain outlets that feel like noisy factories, this place offers a serene atmosphere where you can truly unwind. Every little detail seemed to reflect care and passion. It’s not just a cafe; it’s an experience. Truly a class apart!

An amazing place to hang out, have a drink / snack and discover amazing performers from around the world! Why go to Tim horrors when you can go here and catch live performances from Time To time

My partner and I come here on a weekly basis, whether it be for a focused work session, or a bite to eat. The coffee, sandwiches, and baked goods are consistently enjoyable. It's clear the owner values service, attention to detail, and most importantly, his team. Feels good supporting a liveable wage local business!

Your new location will be the new digs for my knitting group! Delicious treats, and an amazing selection of coffee and tea, in regular & decaf. Also, the seating and lighting are fantastic, with a cozy little "living room" setting in the huge front windows. And the service was friendly and genuine!

I’m enjoying a delicious espresso and an orange and lavender muffin at Dreams of Beans as I write this. I’m very impressed with this place. They pay their staff a living wage and have (instead of leaving tips) you leave some money as a “pay it forward” and the recipients are treated with dignity and respect. I am coming here every time I come this way. This is the kind of business that is the way of the future.
