Our Guestbook
“ I stayed a night in Port Hope while traveling through on my way to Toronto, and I’m glad I stopped at Dreamer's Cafe for breakfast. I enjoyed a delicious coffee and a unique breakfast sandwich that had parmesan cheese sprinkled on top—it was a tasty twist that I really liked. The coffee was great, too. I felt very comfortable working at a table in the front window, enjoying the cozy atmosphere along with my sandwich and coffee. If you're passing through Port Hope, Dreamer's Cafe is definitely worth a visit! ”
“ My family has met here for a lot of years! A central meeting spot for all of us coming from different directions. I stop off the 401 at Port Hope whenever possible. Love the Lobster panini’s, Caesar salad and the soup of the day was a definite favourite. Bill’s recipe and homemade ”
“ LOVED it here. Lunch was amazing and the service was wonderful, fast, and kind. The atmosphere is inviting and visually beautiful. The turkey panini was delicious and the Fabulous Crazy Cookies were an immediate favourite. Will definitely be back! ”
“ nice cafe! a hidden treasure I recommend for all those who are doing a road trip from Montreal to Niagara Falls to stop at this cafe. The detour is worth it ”
“ Came to Port Hope for the day from Toronto and the food was amazing. I got the lobster bisque and breakfast lobster sandwich and can you believe that it doesn’t cost too much??? The place was so cute and it literally took me back to Paris, and the server (I think might be the owner) was very helpful and service was so good. Definitely a gem to check out when visiting Port Hope and I would definitely recommend these dishes!! ”
“ Everyone knows I'm a Starbucks guy. But did you know that I love indepent coffee shops more? Everytime I'm in a new town three first thing I Google is "Best Coffee shop in X" But that's not how I found Dreamer's Cafe. Instead this place is on the biggest corner in downtown Port Hope. It's next to the Capitol Theatre. We've been there several times for Comp and so this little Cafe had become a go-to. Your espresso drinks here are legit! They have an old-fashioned espresso machine. You'll watch them pour and press the beans before twisting the spoon into place. They have a HUGE selection of sweets! Today they had chocolate chip cookies covered in chocolate drizzle and cookie chunks in addition the normal selection of cookies, cakes, pastries and ice cream. If you're in Port Hope I highly recommend. ”
“ When for an ice cream cone. . . a double Rum / Raisen and left with two lobster tails. Met the owner, a nice chap from the east coast. He has been in Port Hope for over 20 years. It is a worthy stop if one is hungry for good food and warm conversation. ”
“ I had tea (which came in a pot with a little jug of milk which I was very happy about ), and a chocolate and caramel cookie which was excellent (and I'm not generally a cookie lover). Lots of other tasty looking treats but I was too full to try them. 7 tables for 4 in the adjoining space which is also a shop, attractive and comfortable, plus a few tables in the counter area where you order and get your food and drink. Both staff members were friendly, though the counter area is a bit muddled as you line up, look at the cakes etc, and come back through with your goods to in the same narrow area. ”
