There was not a wait and there were many tables available on a Sunday morning. I got a crepe which was supposed to have guacamole in it but it did not have it and that may have been why the meal overall lacked for me. I got an iced lavender latte which was delicious. Everyone else at the table liked their food. They had oat milk as an option for coffee which was nice. I wish they had a better system for bussing our own food because it was a bit messy to me.

A little pricey but definitely worth it ! The baristas are always super nice and welcoming and the drinks are really tasty! Their food is wonderful and fresh, and you can really tell that everything is made from scratch. Supreme weekend study spot!

Cute spot on the way to Bryson city! They have gluten free options for sweet and savory crepes. I definitely took advantage of the opportunity to have my first crepe and got the cinnamon apple one and it was delicious!

I’ve loved this place since college, came back 6 years later and still the same cozy mountain side cafe vibe I was craving. The staff are always nice and the food always fresh. I haven’t tried their coffee but their hummus wrap, salsa, bisque, and black bean burrito are all stellar.

The food was fresh and delicious. This place is dog friendly too. We tried their Sunday brunch specials and sour dough panini which was yummylicious.

DO NOT EAT HERE IF GLUTEN FREE. I ordered gluten free and it was in my receipt and they still gave me wheat flour wrap. I ate most of it trustingly and realized halfway it was gluten. …
