The chocolate dragonfly cafe

Didn't want to serve anything other than what was on the display cabinet at 2.00pm. They had a group coming in we discovered. Bad service, food was old and dry, won't be going there again.

Stunning vanilla slice. Very good coffee. Everything on the menu looked good including what was going out to other customers. Definitely worth a stop in The Basin.

My steak sandwich was served quickly and was absolutely beautiful! One of the best i’ve had:) staff was very kind as well! Definitely recommend this place!

Stopped by chance and had the best brekkie and coffee
Stop by you won't be disappointed

Always very accommodating. The food is so delicious and always have a great range of sweets and other pastry’s in the window.

Best vanilla slice I think I've ever had. It has some passionfruit seeds on top that took it to another level

Chicken burger and lamb kofta were both excellent. The meat well seasoned, good portions and price!

A great little hidden gem, a great atmosphere with great staff. We had a wonderful lunch and the coffee was delicious. Highly recommend a visit as you would not be dissapointed!

Great service.
Very quick.

Coffee amaaaaaazing and falafel wrap was toasted to perfection and tasted great.

Cafe has toilets which is a huge bonus.

Thank you so much for your exceptional service.

Another gem of The Basin.
Very welcoming family run business. Great service with selection of meals.

Ordered a coffee and a vanilla slice.
Coffee is beautiful, very smooth!
The vanilla slice though.
Now let me tell you, as a bigger boy myself, who has been in the industry for a good long while, who has sampled several, several hoisemade vanilla slices.

The vanilla slice at The Chocolate Dragonfly is absolutely amazing, easily in the top 3 I've ever had, cannot recommend enough

Well done guys

Not the first review to mention the vanilla slice, but it was truly incredible. I am not averse to a good old 'snot block' vanilla slice and typically don't like too many deviations from the classic form, but this one is an absolute charmer. Simple and spectacular all at once.

I also had the salmon bagel, which was generously filled, fresh and delicious. Would like to see slightly more vegetarian options for this menu to be ideal (a falafel option of the kofta kebab would be great, or a egg/cheese/hashbrown brekkie roll) but what they do have is done very well - and with lovely personable service too. Top stuff.

Not sure what’s better the delicious food the amazing staff, great place that always provides great tasting fresh food! Definitely recommend

Food was okay but the lady that seems to be the owner or manager was rude, thought she might have been having an off day but no tried again and same. Shame.

This was my first time here and it did not disappoint. After a year of hearing about it from my partner who visits every week pretty much to get his steak sandwich fix we went and had lunch with our son. It was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom bruschetta and our son enjoyed his milkshake more than his croissant. Lovely and pleasant serving staff and was truly wonderful to sit and eat in a Cafe. Highly recommend a visit if you can. Has a park across the road if your kids want to play afterwards. A great gateway to exploring the Dandenongs too.

Best breakfast menu ever. My whole family absolutely love this place.
Keep up the amazing work.

Another 5 experience at Dragonfly. This is my go-to for reliable good coffee but today I tried their French toast. Super yummy! Their dirty chai is the best. When you ask for a large coffee you get a LARGE coffee. Love it!

I only stopped in for a coffee ️ which was very nice, I didn't try the food but I will next time, as I Intend to go back soon.

Great service even though it was Saturday morning with a good number of people.

The coffee was lovely, a mug of flat white, rich cream made to perfection!
And well needed after a hike, which also built up an appetite.

The meal was the poached eggs with bacon, the eggs, muffin, sauce all were amazing, just a treat to your pallet.

The omlet was also awesome.

Go ahead, enjoy:)

Not much variety. Barely anything in the window to eat. Only old looking cakes. Waste of time coming here
