We made a lunch reservation for today, and enjoyed our meal so much -- slow-cooked lamb, Korean Fried Cauliflower, sashimi selection, and the astonishingly good creme brulee (not really a cheesecake as described on the menu) that we begged our way into a dinner reservation as well -- where we loved the Neko Ginger cocktail, cucumber green goddess, burrata, and stir-fried steak fillet. if only we had another day in Auckland to try more of this wonderful menu

The coffee is well made, and Sarah is a warm and friendly barista who is always pleasant no matter what time of the day it is. Dream Cuisine is located in a small set of shops in Glendowie, so mostly the patrons are locals; however if you are visitor to the city and were curious to venture into the suburbs of Auckland, then Dream Cuisine could be a stop to refuel on your way to or from the beach down the road. Dream Cuisne offers cabinet food as well as a small selection of brunch meals, such as French toast, scrambled eggs and also the Mediterranean falafel platter, which i can confirm was pretty delicious. You can also pick up some tasty frozen meals from the freezer at Dream Cuisine, or alternatively there is a range of homemade chutneys and dips to choose from. Dream Cuisine also operates as a catering company for all sorts of occasions, from cocktail do's to weddings.

We visiting from overseas and are in town for only one night before flying to the South Island, and stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night. The place was pretty quiet, with only a few other guests dining, so it was a nice place to eat and recover from our long flight. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was delicious. We got the breaded calamari as an appetizer (nice big pieces, with a sweet chili sauce), a venison meat pie with yummy mashed potatoes, and the "kiwi burger", which was topped with bacon and egg, and a heaping of fries. All the food was delicious, and we walked out stuffed and happy! Highly recommended for travelers staying in the area.

A mussel pot ($17), steaming in a delicious thai coconut milk concoction, and CMK's famous chowder ($17). It's easy to pack chowder with potato, heavy cream, and call it a day - as a once-ago Bostonian, I've seen this far too frequently - but CMK did their dish justice. Great balance of mussels, leek, spring onion and whole milk. The pot mussels were phenomenal too, plenty of broth to be sopped up with sourdough bread. Coromandel Brewing Company beer was a welcome treat for these tired travelers :) Easy Rider Ale and a pilsner available, 500 mL for $9. A must-visit for anyone passing through Coromandel Town.

The pristine interior of the restaurant is immediately striking. This seems to emanate throughout the food, with sharp, full flavours. I tend to order the Quattro pizza which has plenty of topping and a hearty base. There is a great range of choice of both pizzas and pastas alike. I usually go for the Spaghetti Di Mare, as I am a mega fan of seafood and this pasta was quite delicious. Parking is as easy as can be. There is a small indoor area for dining in, however the abundance of suitable earby locations encourages takeaways such as St Heliers Beach, the top of Glover Park, Karaka Bay or the top of Cliff Road.
