Dragonfly Bistro in Ceredigion

Hands down the best place in Aberystwyth to stop for a cuppa and a bite to eat, the staff are a credit to the service industry. They're always friendly with myself and my puppy with treats on hand, the food is excellent and service more so. 5* would recommend.

We came here for a quick lunch before our train back home - we were pleasantly surprised with how speedy the service was and how friendly all the staff were! The chef was super lovely and accommodating. We will be back when we have a bit more time ☺️

First time at Dragonfly and it didn't disappoint,the food was excellent,very friendly service would always recommend

Rather slow service. Food was not as good as expected. Salad (with bean burger) was tiny - photo attached Decor was old and spartan.

Delicous vegan and vegeterian options, very cosy atmosphere and lovely customer service!

We had lunch at the Dragonfly Bistro and definitely recommend it. Almost every dish on their menu is vegan or can be veganised. We had a home made vegan 'fishcake' which was really good (the salad which came with it could have been better) and an extremely good chickpea curry. Definitely try the double chocolate cheezecake Brownie, it's delicious! The owners were also really friendly.

Lovely restaurant, great staff. Nice to have vegan food nearby.

Had an excellent vegan meal today. I have visited several times and never been disappointed. Thoroughly recommended.

Friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Loads of vegetarian and vegan options. Most are gluten free. Dogs are welcome. Lovely place. Can't wait to return for another meal as both ours were delicious.

Absolutely lovely little cafe serving wholesome food, good selection of vegan and veggie dishes but also cater for omnivores. Recommended.

Lovely little cafe close to the sea front. The staff are very welcoming and it was lovely to see an entirely vegetarian menu. They also clearly highlighted gluten free products on the menu too.

We were a group of 8 and had a lovely Sunday lunch here, we tried all of the three options between us, all very tasty and we loved having all the Sunday roast trimmings. The avocado based smoothie I had was great. I finished with the berry crumble which was delicious and tart tasting. We look forward to returning.

We were here today it was wonderfull experience. The staff was really friendly and atmosphere was great.

Owner and staff were very friendly and cake was nice, very dog friendly and lots of seating

The nicest meal I have eaten in wales, in probably the nicest cafe, with the nicest staff. Couldn't recommend it more!

Such lovely staf! Excellent service along side of some great coffee and very tasty veggie food. Will definitely be coming back!

The coffee was amazing here. We had the bistro burger and loved everything on the plate. The lady who cooks the food has such a friendly and fun personality and came to say hi. It was such a good time! Would hugely recommend

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, fabulous vegan/vegetarian menu and excellent service here! Also, I highly recommend the delicious nut roast they serve with their Sunday lunch :)

Well worth walking through the streets for delicious food. We had the Buddha bowl which was gorgeous. The owners are friendly and add to the pleasurable experience. Bring your dog as they have treats at the ready.

I am lucky enough to live locally and Dragonfly bistro never, ever disappoints. Wholesome, flavoursome and high quality food, warm and wonderful staff who always go above and beyond, fair pricing with great value for money. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Very tasty vegan and vegetarian food, even if you're a fish- and meat-eater, as I am. A fast and very frendly service, too!

Ordered food and advised there was a delay. No problem. 30 mins later told my choice was no longer available. Chose another item. Arrived after another 15 mins. Tasty burger and tasty Buddha bowl but not blown away to be honest…. I was expecting something really outstanding. Great friendly staff.

Little gem that you need to discover for yourself. Meals made with care and attention. Lovely decor, very clean and staff friendly and engaging. I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Aberystwyth.

Just fantastic. I have multiple dietary requirements and they just go out of their way to accommodate this, messaging to check details, labelling everything and taking pride in all of this. Upon collection the joy they had showing me and explaining what they produced, even baking me bread. I can't big them up enough and such lovely ladies. Most important of all though was it was just delicious.

Excellent vegan/vegetarian restaurant, with great dices to offer and amazing service. Loved the atmosphere there.

Absolutely fantastic place for a catch up with friends. Delicious food and drinks, friendly staff and 11/10 service. Food made fresh and to order. Love coming back.

Really lovely vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Aber. Food is always fantastic and all of the staff are lovely, very friendly and always have time for a quick chat. My mum and I go every time she's in town and we love it every time. Booking recommended on the weekends as there's not much space, but they'll still go out of their way to fit everybody in! Many thanks to everyone at Dragonfly for a lovely lunch once again.

The best people, the nicest food, the most fantastic experience. That's it. 1000% will come back as soon as I can - we just had the most fantastic experience and we're so grateful to the lovely people running the dragonfly for the most fantastic vegan afternoon tea - it really blew us away!

If I could give this cafe 6 stars I would. I loved it. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely. This is a real hidden gem!

Small friendly vegan restaurant whose only down side might be the upstairs toilet. I had a super toastie but was eyeing up my friend's Buddha salad, which also looked delicious! I'll definitely be bringing my vegan family members there whdn ghey vist

Lovely vegan meal today with my daughter fishless cakes with salads . Lovely selection of salads . Lovely vegan Bakewell tart as well . Nice chat with the chef / proprietor. Thank you

We had the pleasure of enjoying their afternoon tea earlier this year and it was amazing. We only wish we had taken a photo before we polished it all off. We had a quick look at their lunch board while we were waiting and I would be hard pressed to pick just one thing. Luckily, we had a fantastic selection of savoury and sweet treats in our afternoon tea and even the meat eaters amongst us, enjoyed it all. Exceptional food and attentive service, what more could you ask for!

We were fed like royalty - delicious roast dinners beautifully served and generous portions. We had eyes bigger than our tummies for delicious pudding. Such pleasant folk at the Deagonfly, we were spoilt and had a wonderful, memorable Mothering Sunday feast! Thank you so much we look forward to stopping by again xx

My recent visit to DragonFly Bistro for afternoon tea was exceptional. They offered a variety of sandwiches, quiche, cakes, and scones. All looked and tasted amazing. The attentive and wonderful service added to the experience, making it highly recommendable not only for vegans and vegetarians but for anyone in search of quality culinary experiences.

Cutest staff and great food/drinks :) very vegan friendly

We came in today for lunch and had a great experience. They have a great assortiment of fresh drinks, tea etc. We ordered the hot dog with garlic mushrooms (yum!), the noodle bowl (yum!) and the potato and leek soup (yum!). One of the highlights is definitely their chips, which are some of the best I've had in the UK, especially with their vegan mayo. All large portions and absolutely delicious! Also super reasonably priced!! The staff are all super friendly :)

Me and my partner went here on Valentine’s Day and the food was so good, we plan on going here again soon, The avocado smoother was amazing!

Even if you're not vegan, this place is an absolute gem. The food and coffee is delicious and the people serving you are so friendly. You can tell that the food is cooked by someone who loves food themselves. They are so passionate about keeping customers happy. 100% an absolute recommend for everyone.

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and was super impressed. I went for the nut roast Sunday lunch which was gluten free and my mum went for the celeriac soup which could also be served with gluten free bread. Both were absolutely delicious and felt very comforting. When taking the order the waitress asked if there were any allergies to which I said I was coeliac. Very reassuring that she was aware of it and told the people in the kitchen. I felt safe eating here. Staff were very friendly too. As a local I will 100% be back here very soon!

Brilliant food. Great Christmas menu was great. Loved the nut roast. Staff were really friendly and helpful with allergy issues.

Fantastic late lunch, spinach curry sublime. Great vegan and gluten free options. The friendliest of staff.

Great place to eat if you're vegan or vegetarian. If you're not either the food, service, and atmosphere are excellent, and you will not miss meat.

Amazing food, big portions, excellent customer service, the best cheesecake ever. Highly recommended.

Excellent Christmas Dinner, big portions and amazing service.

The best food available in Aberystwyth, The owner is truly a goddess in the kitchen and balances every flavour in every meal perfectly. The menu caters for any food allergies, food is fresh, healthy and cooked with passion. I use this restaurant regularly and as yet have not found anything that I did not enjoy. All food is served with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. A must go to if you are thinking of eating out in Aberystwyth. Truly a gem of a restaurant.

It was delicious, hot chocolate, cheesecake! great atmosphere, amazing place, highly recommended! Lovely time with friends with great food, thank you!

We ate here whilst passing through Aberystwyth and it was great. We had a Buddha Bowl and a Lentil bake platter, followed by a Bakewell Tart and Flapjack, washed down with coffee and ginger beer. It was great value and would definitely recommend!

This cafe feels like a warm hug. The ladies that work here are always warm, friendly and outgoing. The fresh selection of cakes and snacks are delicious. My friends didn't even notice they were gluten free and vegan! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely place for a vegetarian meal.

Such an interesting and varied menu, and food delicious served by lovely, friendly staff. Having a place like this in Aberystwyth is like a breath of fresh air, just really sorry I didn't try it sooner! My husband is not vegetarian but thoroughly enjoyed his meal and we look forward to trying some of the other dishes next time. Oh, and the lemon poppy seed cake was to die for!

This was a fantastic place for vegetarians and vegan. Service and the staff are friendly and helpful even with some away today.fabulous food which was delicious 😊😊😊

On a day trip we planned to go in due to good reviews and very glad we did. Very lovely and welcoming, our dog Moose got lots of cuddles and treats (even some to take away) and the food was incredible! So refreshing to find a hearty vegan place with amazing flavour and fresh food. Coffee was great but the ice cream was out of this world. Recommend the potato cake platter with a variety of salads and chutney but also the quesadilla was fantastic. Definitely planning to go back whenever we are in the area.

Came here on our day trip visit to Aberystwyth. Highly recommend, the food was incredibly tasty especially the chocolate cake ! 😍 very friendly welcoming service - as someone who is autistic and very anxious in public, they made me feel at ease as soon we walked in. we will definitely come back here every time we are passing Aberystwyth!! :)

Visited after seeing previous reviews and wasn't disappointed. My partner and I had the vegan seitan roast and my meat eating mum had the nut roast and said it was delicious. The oat milk chai latte was one of the nicest I've tasted. Great choice of food, lovely, friendly staff and a chilled out atmosphere. As a vegan it was lovely to have so much choice and would definitely recommend a visit. We wished we had room for dessert as the sweet stuff looked amazing too.

A return visit with the food as great as last time. Really good selection of home made dishes. Catering for vegetarian and vegan. Highly recommended.

The staff at Dragonfly Bistro were so helpful and knowledgeable about the food they serve as my granddaughter has loads of allergies so always a worry. The food was absolutely delicious. We will be telling all our friends and definitely be going back.

This is a hidden gem of a place. Great food, good coffee and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Very good vegetarian restaurant worth seeking out, and even a non-veggie should be happy enough as the choice, quality, & freshness are top notch. Chips are excellent!

A great little spot for vegetarian and vegan food. My first experience of vegan ice cream was well worth it. Lovely welcoming staff.

This little cafe is an absolute gem. Have just sampled Sunday roast and it was excellent. Fresh veg and choice of Seitan, Meat loaf or Nut roast... we had seitan and meat loaf and they were just delicious. Lovely lovely staff and such a pleasant...

Always fresh, always great value and always served with a smile!

Great vegan and gluten free options, friendliest staff possible. Superb.

This place is a little gem and you might easily miss it as its tucked away behind the market. Its a great find for people who enjoy plant based foods. Tom, the young guy who served us, was a great host: informed, warm and always attentive. The coffee was good, the cakes gorgeous and the portions were very generous. They also do take outs. I good this place continues to thrive- good for Aberystwyth, good for you and good for the planet.

Our first visit yesterday but definitely not our last! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious Sunday lunch of nut roast and trimings. A cosy place with friendly and welcoming staff making it a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Diolch yn fawr.

We popped in for a quick lunch the other day, lovely clean interior with a great welcome. The food was fantastic I'm not a vegetarian but trying to swap out more meat from my diet and this place is perfect as it tastes better than the meat equivalent.

Fab little place, lovely staff and wonderful food !

One-of-a-kind place offering tasty vegan/vegetarian menu and broad selection of vegan cakes. Great coffee too. On Sundays they do 3 varieties of Sunday roast (Seitan Roast, Nut Roast and Meatless Loaf), all of which are amazing. Booking recommended, particularly at weekends.

Really lovely food and reasonable prices. The proprietors are lovely, even the chips were hand made and awesome! Definitely want to come here again.

Food is oustanding, fresh, homemade and amazing quality. Take a bow

Really good food and friendly service

Lovely cafe and great for vegans.

We've been to this lovely little bistro a few times now and we are never disappointed. Fantastic selections. We've tried their pies, buddha bowls, sunday lunches and amazing cakes. And it is all vegan with great glutenfree options. Both our vegetarian and meat eater friends love coming to this place as well. Let's not forget the staff. So so lovely :)

We had a beautiful vegan Sunday lunch at the Dragonfly Bistro. I had a nut roast which was homemade and absolutely stunning. The service was friendly, fast and the price was good too. The menu is extensive with lots of vegan treats to try along with a nice selection of drinks including a very tasty local cider 😊 We can highly recommend a visit 😊

Wonderful veggie heaven. Staff make you feel special!

Food was very good l especially liked the carrot cake. Not overpriced next time l will take my dog as the Bistro Is dog friendly.

Cakes and ice-creams to die for. Hard to believe it is all vegan!

The food was amazing with generous portions. The staff were very friendly and our dog was made very welcome with water and treats of his own. There was a cosy feel which made the dining experience more relaxed. Thank you!

Amazing choices for special diets. Delicious food. Very friendly and accommodating service. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely ladies and food great,even if you aren't a vegan or veggie give them a try deserts are the bomb

Lovely bistro. Everyone's meal was great. Particularly enjoyed the vegan cottage pie and cherry cheesecake with chocolate ice-cream 👍😋

Great value, service and everything is fresh. Amazing

Delicious homemade ice cream and the best cakes (all vegan and always at least one is gluten free). Chef is very happy to swap things out to meet dietary needs (and fussiness) where possible.

Excellent choice of vegan food and good for gluten free too, although the gf choice is limited. Still worth a visit. Will certainly go again

The food, service and cakes are great. The hard part is deciding which flavour is my favourite...so far the chocolate and marshmallow with chocolate ice-cream is up there but that could change! Has to be the best place for cakes in town.

Wow! This place is truly amazing. So much choice for vegans and all made from scratch. The best vegan cheesecake I've ever eaten. The mains were delicious too. Vegan cakes and desserts, its like heaven for vegans here. Literally can't fault this place. So very welcoming too. Thank you, we will be back from Haverfordwest to see you again :)

Somewhere to share vegan gluten free cake and a great hot chocolate!

Beautiful healthy food, friendly service, well priced, lovely cakes

Gutes veganes und vegetarisches Essen. Der Laden wird mit viel Liebe geführt, nette Atmosphäre.

This gorgeous little cafe does fantastic home cooked vegan and gluten free options. The lovely owner and chef will endeavour to accommodate and dietary requirements and allergies. The cakes were also scrumptious! You are guaranteed a friendly welcome and great service.
