5 /5 Stephanie Rose: @daydreamers.cafe is a cafe located on Old Princes Hwy in Beaconsfield.
The venue used to be a well known local milk bar. Jeorge (ex-@highsocietycafe) took it over and wanted to keep the character of the building but turn it into something the area didn’t really have - a more elevated cafe experience while still feeling very community focused.
There are lots of different areas and the outdoor alfresco is especially beautiful - they are also licenced, so you enjoy a cocktail (or two!).
⭐ Breakfast pavlova - probably the best breakfast pavlova we’ve ever had. The only thing separating it from being a straight dessert was the granola, which actually worked perfectly.
✔️ Chicken bao with Asian slaw - really nice flavours and a huge portion. Slightly difficult to eat just because of the size and the ginger flavour is quite strong which might be a lot for some people (not for me though, I love ginger).
⭐ Chilli scramble with pork kassler and pistachio pesto - more folded eggs than a traditional scramble which I really liked. Packed with lots of additions so every bite had different texture and flavour.
✔️ Super kale salad + chicken - the salad itself was delicious and really fresh, packed with so many ingredients like pickled cauliflower, sweet corn, beets, avocado, goiji berries, goats cheese, citrus.. but the added chicken was a bit dry and could have used a little more seasoning.
⭐ Mont Blanc - more cream than usual (which I loved), with a really strong citrus flavour. One of the better versions we’ve had.
⭐ Mango matcha - delicious. A proper matcha flavour that’s strong but still really balanced with the mango.
Really impressed by the quality and creativity of the menu. The portions here are very generous and every dish feels complete. That’s something I always appreciate at a cafe.
