Little Dreamer is a cute café in Calamvale, found in a modest shopping strip on the corner of Kameruka Street and Beaudesert Road, with indoor and undercover outdoor dining.

Likewise, the lunch menu – available from 11 to 2 – is vast and varied. Gourmet toasted sandwiches range from BLT to pork belly (slow cooked in sweet soy) and pulled duck, while heartier dishes include pastas and risottos such as fettucine carbonara, garlic prawn pasta and traditional seafood risotto with tiger prawns, mussels and calamari in creamy sauce. The café also has a great range of fresh salads from Caesar and roast pumpkin to sweet chilli prawn.
