I spent weeks looking for a place I can relax and drink coffee. I pulled up a list on Yahoo and visited all the coffee houses within a 20 mile radius. Most of the coffee houses weren't even in business anymore and the rest were tobacco stores and bars with a small coffee bar. There are two stores in my local mall which serve horrible coffee and don't really know what they are doing. At the end of my list was Dragonfly Cafe and I put it at the end because I had never seen it and thought it was another fake address. To my surprise I found what I was looking for and only 2 miles away from home. The coffee was great and the atmosphere was perfect with comfortable couches, lounge chairs and tables. I decided to start trying everything in the menu and I have yet to find something I don't like. After speaking to the owner I found out that Dragonfly opened up in the beginning of Jan 2008 which would explain their odd schedule which is from 7 am to 1 pm. The owner said that schedule is temporary and that they will extend their hours in a couple of weeks which is great due to my schedule. They will also begin serving grilled sandwiches and expand their menu which consists of bagels, donuts and cakes at this time. As a college student, this is a great place because I can go study, drink coffee and have a snack in a comfortable relaxed environment. All we need is some live light music in the evenings to make it perfect hangout spot.
Pros: Great Coffee, Atmosphere, Service and food
Cons: Hours are from 7 am to 1 pm but I still find a way to make it before they close. They are expected to extend their hours in a couple of weeks.
