Our Story
Founded in 2015 by Ben & Jenny, a couple from the northern region of Vietnam, Dragonfly Cafe was born from a simple yet heartfelt mission: to bring the flavours of Vietnamese street food to the heart of London.
Named after the dragonfly, a symbol of serenity, peace, harmony, and balance, the cafe was never just a business. It was their way of creating “a home, far away from home” — not only for themselves, but for anyone craving warmth, flavour, and authenticity. From comforting bowls of pho, to freshly made banh mi, and vibrant small plates packed with flavour, every dish is made with care, tradition, and a deep respect for our culinary roots.
What began as a tiny kitchen with a few dishes has grown into a neighbourhood favourite — a cosy, family-run cafe where every dish is made with love, tradition, and a touch of nostalgia. At Dragonfly Cafe, you’re not just a customer. You’re part of the story.
