The chocolate dragonfly cafe

Fantastic food. We had the chicken and beef kofta wraps with a serve of chips. Great flavours in the wraps and the chips were absolutely top notch. Keen to sample more of the menu!
Quick note to owners: please stock more coke no sugar in cans 🙂

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.

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:)

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!

Great service, friendly staff, delicious food..... definitely coming back 👌

If you go to the Dandenong mountains for a ride or a hike or whatever, make sure you arto here fore a great Gluten Free feed!
Very friendly experience, pleasant talk to the owner, relaxed atmosphere.
The selection of GF choices is very vaste, i opted for a burger. They said they could do it with toast bread, showing that they care and are happy to make YOU happy.
I will definitely stop there every time I head down too the Dandenongs mountains.

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!

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

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!

What a wonderful place!

The staff are so lovely and friendly. Service was excellent.

The actual cafe is modern and cosy with a good community feel as the staff were on a first name basis with customers.

The food was outstanding and the coffee was really well made.
Looks like I've just found my new local cafe to frequent 😁😁
Will be telling my friends and family. Really happy.

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.

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 🤙

Very friendly, competent staff. Food was delicious. Check drink sizes before ordering as large is not the same as most other places. 90deg parking can get a little hectic when there's traffic. Beware there are very few u-turn options if you continue down the road so exit your desired direction if you don't intend to head further SE. Better to walk/ride to.

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.

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.

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

Great Cafe in The Basin.
Coffee fabulous 👌

We come here at least once or twice a week. It is local to us and we are always welcomed by the warm and friendly owners. Their granola bowls are delicious! My daughter always enjoys their muffins and my husband loves their egg and bacon panini. Their coffee is always great and they make a mean chai latte too! Never had a bad experience. They will always be our go to for yummy breakfast, lunch or snack. Thanks guys!

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

Came here to check out the famous vanilla slice. WOW! I'd love to see all the "best vanilla slice" venues take on The Chocolate Dragonfly. Most would be sent packing. Brilliant richness, quality ingredients and flavour, JUST SO good. Come for the slice and stay for the delicious coffee, super friendly welcoming staff and great service. A local business that everyone needs in their neighbourhood, and well deserving of support.
