Dragonfly Coffee House is such a special find and necessity after a Forest Park walk, if you know you know. The atmosphere is bubbly and inviting, the baristas are sweet and the vibe is awesome. The coffee is divine and the freshly made pastries and other food options are stunning. Such a sweet spot to grab a coffee on a sunny day with a good friend or a good book! read more

The Loss of a True Neighborhood Anchor For years, this coffee house was the primary reason I loved living in this neighborhood. Under its original stewardship, it provided a rare "third place"--a vital social anchor where writers, neighbors, and local faces created a true sense of home. It was a space where you could spend two hours writing in the morning, knowing the flow would be punctuated by the pleasant interruptions of catching up with familiar locals. When the new ownership took over, I eagerly supported them, hoping that inclusive community spirit would endure. Unfortunately, the culture has shifted toward a rigid, punitive customer service framework that completely lacks the ability to navigate human communication differences or de-escalate sensitive situations. A simple, polite morning request to lower the early morning music unexpectedly scaled into an antagonistic confrontation with young staff. Then, in a subsequent incident, instead of a calm intervention, during a conversation, I was publicly yelled at across a crowded room by another young employee. Their continued rude behavior pushed me past a breaking point out of sheer anxiety, and I uncharacteristically lost my temper, resorted to profanity, and walked out. While I take full ownership of my part--reacting defensively under that immense stress--the owners' ultimate solution was to permanently ban a long-term, 5-plus years loyal patron rather than engage in a mutual conversation about what caused the friction in the first place. For an establishment that projects an image of neighborhood inclusivity, the reality is a stark lack of grace. By prioritizing a punitive model over community care, the new management has hollowed out the very environment that made this place a longtime, beloved local fixture. It is deeply saddening and has been a great upset to lose such a meaningful part of my daily neighborhood routine, but those who value a truly inclusive, understanding neighborhood environment should be aware of how the culture here has fundamentally changed. read more

Such a great cafe! I wouldn't recommend it too much for getting work done (it's a bit crowded / packed in there) but I've come here a few times for little coffee chats/dates with friends, and the ambiance is lovely, especially outside in their little patio or bench. I usually order the Bees Knees Latte which is solid! read more

Absolutely loved this charming coffee house. I'm visiting from Los Angeles and wanted coffee made my locals. I had a Bees Knees latte and a Dragonfly cake which paired very well. Lots of people sitting, talking, and working. I can tell it's a place people like to gather so that was nice to see. I loved the beautiful vintage Tiffany style lamps as well read more

Love this coffee shop! We went to this coffee shop almost every day that we were in Portland, which was a week. Our favorite was the chocolate chip cookie, but the s'mores and the oatmeal raisin were also very good. It seems that their chocolate chip cookies sell out before lunch. The cookies are made in house, and they are excellent! Their coffee is also very good. The staff was very friendly and the ambience was cozy. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a CA girl and when I walked into Dragonfly Coffee house I felt like I had walked into a quaint and cozy coffee house in Santa Cruz, CA on the border of being a little mountain town. While I shouldn't compare to another state, I call this out because it was warm, welcoming and all around familiar and cozy! A lot of food (pastry) and coffee options. Wonderful roast with my real cup to sip and just sit while I waited for my friend to arrive. The staff is just as lovely! So why 4 stars? It was crazy busy and it was hard to find a seat that allowed us to have a quiet conversation. The number of People coming in I would say reinforces this is a neighborhood favorite however I drove from the SW side to check this place out and ultimately we left and went somewhere else to enjoy conversation. read more

Such a cute establishment. Service was great, drinks were great and of course, I had to try a pastry and it did not disappoint!

My standard coffee order is a cappuccino, and this one was meh. It felt like I could've jumped back there and made something similar, and I don't know what I'm doing. The "scone-over" was also very meh, did not find any joy in the texture of the dough, taste of the filling, or otherwise. Service was fine. Environment is a kind of shabby-eclectic. They had a lot of business for some reason, plenty of people sitting there longer to work on a laptop, etc. Overall, uninspiring, didn't take any photos. (I did appreciate the watercolors on the wall that are for sale.) read more

Came by just for a cup of joe but really loved the interior of the space. It was super cozy and you could definitely see the locals coming in to order their pastries. The pastry case was empty by the time we came so you know they must be good. I got one of the special lattes to go and it was alright but nothing too special I would come back for it alone. I would like to come back to sit on one of their couches and try their food items. read more

This place has been on my list since a long time because of the cozy, beautiful pictures and I went there on a Friday afternoon time. As soon as you enter this place, it's warm, beautiful, vibrant and old vintage style place. We ordered turmeric chai, pumpkin spiced latte, banana muffin. Everything was perfect. The best pumpkin spiced latte I have ever had with the taste of both pumpkin spice and coffee. It was perfection The staff were really friendly and awesome. Must visit place if you are around this area. Worth the hype!! read more

This place definitely gave me major Gilmore Girls vibes with the eclectic decor. There is a lot of seating and when we arrived they was already a good number of people there. Their service is good. We were immediately greeted when we entered. They have a good variety of lattes to chose from. They have speciality lattes too. I got the dark chocolate mocha and a banana chocolate muffin. The dark chocolate mocha was good. And most of their muffins are gluten free. read more

This spot has become one of my favorite coffee shops in Portland! I feel a bit nostalgic when I step foot into Dragonfly Coffee House because it reminds me of a coffee shop back in college where I spent HOURS stuDYING with my friends. This COZY coffee house makes you feel like you're right at home. I love that there's ample SEATING and PLUGS. It's the perfect place for my husband and I to work at when we need a change of scenery from our usual home office. This spot is a local favorite and is quite popular, so it can get a little NOISY. This may not be a good spot for answering calls/taking meetings. But if you can drown out the noise, it's the perfect place to READ A BOOK and sip on some YUMMY coffee. Also! They have a bookshelf in the back that offers plenty of books that you can borrow during your visit. You can tell a lot about a coffee shop based on how they make the simplest of drinks. Their LATTE, for example, is DIVINE. I'm not really sure how to put it into words but trust me. It is HEAVENLY! I appreciate the quick service and the consistency of my latte during every visit. read more

Gluten free/ dairy free review: I met a friend at this cute little joint. The vibe is very cozy coffee house and I'm here for it. I had the pistachio latte. It was very smooth, not too sweet. I had them change it to oat milk for a small up charge. I gov wit a 5 out of 5. I had the apple muffin that was gluten-free free. I really liked that. It wasn't too sweet. I love there were apple chunks in it. I gave that a 4 out of 5. It was a hint dry but I enjoyed it all the way. I was happy with the location, the service, the food and drink. Now go ahead and head on over. read more

It is a great neighborhood coffee and tea house. They are proudly serving a lot of snacks and pastries all with a healthier take on than the regular deli pastries. Sometimes it's crowded but the service is always fast and effective. Can't wait to get back during summertime since it has outdoor sweating as well. Inside it is a cozy mix of old furniture almost like a vintage style shop. Very cozy read more

Fun coffee house. This place gives me total Gilmore Girl vibes. The inside is Ute. There are different places to sit. Each time I went I , the place was very busy. They had live music on Friday evening where someone was playing guitar. The homemade apple muffin was so tasty! I asked for it warmed, and it was delicious. There were real apple pieces inside. The coffee itself was ok. I was expecting a bit more since I was in Portland. The staff were ok. I tried different lattes from their speciality menu. All tasted pretty good. I totally recommend stopping by for some coffee and a muffin. A lot of locals were there with their dogs. Portland is definitely dog city USA. read more

Definitely a vibe. It's basically got the aura of your living room but in a coffee shop and definitely has warm, cozy vibes. Good for a rainy day for sure. Coffee wise, it's unique for sure. I tried the Stargazer latte, which is honey, toffee and cinnamon latte. Cinnamon was a bit strong for my liking, but the other flavors were pretty good. I normally get my drinks cold, but since it was a brisker day, I chose for hot latte and it was a good temperature when it came out and despite the toffee and the honey, wasn't too sweet for a latte, which I appreciate. They got a lot of pastries too, and while we didn't try any, I did notice that they sell day old ones for a $1 if you want to give some random things a try. read more

Super cute spot! Great outdoor seating. They have a really good list of dragonfly favorite drinks. I had their drink of the day, toffee iced latte 8.5/10. Overall, I will definitely be going back. read more

What a cute little busy coffee shop with a variety of options. Everything from kombucha to tasty coffee concoctions and tea choices sprinkled in between. The friendly barista will answer your questions and give great suggestions if you are on the fence about what to choose. Let me just say the blueberry lemon scone was the best I've ever had!!! It was not dry one bit, loaded with blueberries and the lemon flavor was amazing. Cheers to the delicious glaze on top. You just have to try it for yourself. There are a variety of baked goods if you like healthier options. They do have outside seating available as well. read more

Neat coffee shop which was pretty busy but well organized and managed. The coffee was good and the pastries were filling. I got a honey vanilla latte and a blueberry and fruit scone. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. It's a little loud but I'm sure if you arrived early it might be a casual and comfortable place to sit and read the news or a book. They do have an outdoor window to order outside and continue along NW 24th Avenue for a walk. read more

I wasn't sure I'd find a new fav coffee shop since moving to this side of town but I was so wrong! I was instantly drawn to their walk-up window since I can easily order when I'm out with my pup! I typically save lattes for when I'm treating myself but the "Bees Knees" has become my new guilty pleasure . The "Stargazer" is also top on my list! Definitely my new favorite coffee spot in the city! I have yet to try their pastries but they look amazing as well! The staff are friendly! Special shout out to Yasasvenia (sorry for butchering your name) for always greeting me with a smile and making me feel right at home! This spot has also become my furry friend's new fav, peep the dog treats in the first picture! Thanks for the awesome drinks and service! read more

After stopping by St Honore, we cruised by Dragonfly and decided to grab a few drinks! - PARKING - Street parking only, be mindful of the paid spots! They also have mobile parking apps so you can keep track of time and add some if you need! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - A VERY small coffee shop, with the tables almost touching each other! The store was completely packed, so it was a bit hard walking through to order as the pick-up counter is right next to the cashier as well. It's very cozy inside, especially on a cold fall day, it was nice to huddle inside but again, very cramped. - DRINK - The Stargazer (S - $4.55): This specialty espresso had Honey, Toffee, Macadamia Nut, Cinnamon and steamed milk. All of these ingredients sounded amazing to me so I had to grab it! I opted for Oat Milk substitution - always a plus when shops have multiple alteratives available! - OVERALL - Delicious coffee here! It seems like Dragonfly Coffee House is a very popular spot, so you're better off doing a drive-by and taking your coffee to go, unless you get lucky and grab a seat inside! read more

Love this place! Staff are nice. The drinks are good. My dog and I people watch outside after playing at the dog park. It's an easy place to read or work. No overly loud background music. Only negative is it's popular on nice days, so outdoor sitting can be tricky, but worth it. read more
