The best breakfast I've eaten from a cafe in my life!
From the moment we entered the Dragonfly cafe we knew we'd found something special. Our server welcomed us enthusiastically and warmly. We selected a table and the menus were there waiting, which allowed browsing immediately. The menu had a fair selection of food that I have not seen in many other breakfast establishments. From eggs Benny to a traditional breakfast, to french toast dipped in corn flakes. There's something for everyone here. The true star of the show is the house baked bread. Caraway rye, egg bread, marble rye, and many more. This bread is sliced thick and so fresh. I enjoyed my breakfast bake with sausage, scrambled eggs and home fries, it was perfectly seasoned and incredibly delicious. My companions enjoyed the deluxe french toast and egg Benny respectively. Everything was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and served in generous portions.we could not believe that three adult meals came in under $70 with a generous tip.

Read moreMy spouse & I finally visited this tiny place on our way South from our lot near Gilles Lake. 30 bucks (incl. tax & tip) bought us coffee, hot beef sandwich with homemade onion rings and something called the Dragonfly Breakfast Bake (with caraway seed toast). Speedy service. Flavourful and generous portions. Attentive & chatty staff. Call ahead to reserve some well crafted loaves of bread. Cindy Lougheed, you are running a class act! REVISED FEBRUARY 17/17: Quality meals, even 1h before closing. REVISED MARCH/17: sadly, we were not able to stop this time. The place is still ticking along! Revised May 21/18: it’s still consistently good. My breakfast bake was a bit too crispy. I spoke to my server, AND IT WAS FIXED. They’re a class act worth your business. REVISED AUGUST 24/18: we rolled into their cafe 1/2h before closing. The kitchen staff rose to the challenge & produced 2 orders of Eggs Benedict. My order was hulked-up with extra meat & spinach. It was flavourful. Updated JANUARY/19: still visiting it on our...
Read moreThey had me at "all day breakfast"! Which I took advantage of, and had the omelette. The homefries were especially well done; I can't remember when I've had better.
All the baked goods are made fresh there every day, which they also sell separately. (And speaking from personal experience, the cheese and chive loaf is definitely worth it buying).
The restaurant and washroom were very clean. Staff is simply amazing! There's even a little playground out back for the little ones. Prices were very reasonable.
Lots of parking out front. I plan on stopping in again, when I'm in the...
