Notes for Cardholders
At Daydream Café, we try our best to provide warm and thoughtful service to all our customers. At the same time, we help our disabled clients overcome the barriers they face. We will respond based on your Hāpai Access Card. We are also happy to offer cardholders 10% off hot drinks.
Standing and Queuing
You would not have to queue. Please tell us your table. We will find you to take your order.
Level Access
There are two entry/exit doors to the store, both with wheelchair access. We will look out for you if the door is closed and come and open the door for you, we also have a doorbell at our door for you to ring if you need someone to come and open the door for you.
Distances
Our parking lot is right outside the store, just a few steps away. There is also limited on-street parking on Wentworth Street and other nearby streets. Unfortunately, we do not have disability parking spaces. Our team will do our best to reserve a parking space for you if you notify us in advance.
Urgent Toilet Access
Our store has one standard toilet and one accessible toilet. There may be a wait if another customer is using the toilet. If you need to go urgently and the toilets are occupied talk to one of our friendly team members and they will take you next door.
Disability Assist Dogs
We welcome registered assistance dogs in our store. We love dogs and have water bowls available.
Essential Companions
We also welcome your companions. We understand that your essential companion/carer may not want to buy a drink or food and we are good with that. But we do offer them a 10% discount off their hot drink if they choose to buy one.

Our drink and food menus are written on blackboards, as are the descriptions of the items in the cabinets. We are happy to verbally read through our menu for you until you find satisfying drink and food.
