The Dragonfly Cafe & Bakery
The Dragonfly Cafe & Bakery occupies a 1920's bungalow style adobe originally home to the Tarleton family. The Tarletons tended gardens, livestock and an orchard on the back of the property. For 20 years, it was home to Dory's restaurant, host to many local artists and writers.

Founded in 1998 by Chicago native Karen Todd, The Dragonfly Cafe and Bakery is the result of Todd's 20 years of experience in restaurants and bakeries. Todd also spent several years traveling the world familiarizing herself with many types of cuisine, influences now reflected in today's menu.
The Dragonfly Cafe is committed to providing the highest quality ingredients, procured locally and organically whenever possible. All of our dairy and non-cured meats are hormone and antibiotic free, and all of our baked goods are made in-house using local organic flour, the highest quality sweet cream butter and natural sweeteners. Taos Roasters supplies the Dragonfly with organic fair-trade coffee, and the local Rasband Creamery provides us with RBGH free dairy.
At the Dragonfly Cafe and Bakery, we are committed to bringing the finest food possible to your table. We hope you enjoy your experience with us as much as we enjoy making it available to you.
