👍👍 I was in Ocala for work and stopped here for lunch. I ordered the Bahn Mi special. I think it was cashew and mushroom pate with pickled veggies, cilantro, cucumbers, and jalapenos on a toasted baguette with a side of kale slaw. That, was a tasty sandwich!!! I'm going back!

    Cozy place to dine in . Have been here twice, once with friends who eat meat but everyone enjoyed their menu picks.. Delicious vegan food. Loved the chickpea and nut burgers. Great Quinoa bowls and soups. Good portions. Would highly recommend. Will be back when in the area.

    Falafel was fresh perfect and delicious! The jackfruit bbq sandwich Amazing! Vegan or vegetarians that like hand crafted food made with good vibes go here now! We really enjoyed that this wasn't the "fake chicken" "fake burger" type of food that many restaurants offer. This was definetly made to taste good and to feel good. Oh we can't forget the flavorful soup of the day scrumptious to the last crouton! More please! We went next door to Asian market and were happy to find some things to make for our next meal.

    We ordered simple fruit smoothies and they were exactly what you would expect but... the one staff member gave us practically an extra smoothie because there was extra leftover after making the batch. It wasn’t just the extra smoothie that impressed us but it was the smile behind it. These people really do love serving you. Be sure to check out this eatery! Great experience. Highly recommended

    I was traveling between two rural parts of Florida when, surprisingly, the HappyCow app told me there was a veg-friendly restaurant in Ocala. I'm REALLY glad I took the half hour detour from my drive to check the place out. The menu looked good and the staff was super friendly. I must have arrived during a lunch rush as they were all working quickly to fill the orders. Given how busy it was, I was thrilled that my Buddah Bowl was so nicely put together. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was delicious! If you're staying in the area or just passing through, it's well worth stopping in if you enjoy good vegan food. Places like this are hard to come by down here.

    The food was divine! The people that work there are so pleasant, helpful, and were patient with my mother and I while we decided on our orders. I absolutely loved my visit to The Dragonfly Vegetarian Café and will be going again.

    Love the updated menu! This cozy place has delicious food. I learned a long talk me ago that a vegetarian restaurant has to have great food to stay open. Dragonfly does this in spades. My usual order is the Budda bowl but I branched out today and had the falafel gyro. Perfect balance of ingredients and sauce. I'll be back soon.

    My husband and I ate here for the first time today and it was delicious! We had the BBQ Jackfruit burgers for the first time and I'm glad I did. The employees were friendly even talked with the owner for a few. Great place to eat, we really recommend it. I can't wait to visit again :)

    I took my mother here for a birthday lunch, we are both vegetarian. The menu was diverse, and it was hard to choose what to have because everything sounded delicious. Mom had the Buddha bowl, which was enough food for her to have the leftovers for dinner also. I had the Mediterranean bowl, it was delicious and fresh. The staff was friendly and the service was fast. We will both be back again, and I will probably bring my husband as well...he is not vegetarian but there's so much on the menu that I'm sure he will find something he likes. It was wonderful to get great, fresh, inventive vegan food here in Ocala, I would highly recommend.
