For jarring my memory and giving me memories to fix not writing a great review for this place. We traveled to Brevard back in 2022 for one of our annual leaf viewing tours. Fun fact about Brevard! There are white squirrels everywhere. There are also regular brown squirrels too. My wife told me about this before we got here but it's strange, there are so many of them. One of the oddest things I find is that there are no mixed squirrels. Like kinda brown, or kinda white, it's either one or the other. They hang together, surely they get it on. What the hell is going on here?!?!? Where did they come from? Why haven't they spread to other areas?? Anyway.... About this bakery. We stopped by here a few times for meals and snacks. Most of it was just pretty good and nothing to really write home (lol) about. I did not know this at the time and did not truly savor the moment well enough. I had the absolute best pastry I have ever had in my life here. I often think back to it and when I see a similar looking pastry only to be let down when I try it. It was the scone to beat all other scones!!! So freaking good!! Orange Pistachio Coriander was the flavor and nothing will ever beat it I am afraid!! If you make it here, check out the white squirrels. There are even gift shops dedicated to them and I swear they have little signs all over town about them. Also.... Mantiques is right down the way. Great shopping!! '22 - I can't even remember, lol.

I really wanted to like Blue Ridge Bakery because the atmosphere has potential, but the service has…read morebeen a consistent issue for us. We've stopped in several times, usually early when it's quiet, and unfortunately the staff (with one exception) have been noticeably unfriendly--especially toward my kids. My boys are always polite and well-mannered, so it's frustrating to see them treated with impatience or attitude. There's just no excuse for adults to be dismissive or rude to children or any customers, especially in a place that serves families. That said, Matthew deserves recognition. He's always been welcoming, kind, and genuinely great with my boys. He sets the standard for what the customer experience should be. I hope management takes a closer look at how guests are being treated, because with better service, this place could easily be somewhere we'd visit regularly.

Really cool safe in the background looks like it used to be a bank and it's instantly heaven when you smell all the backing aromas inside. They had a wide selection of cookies, muffins, pies, and cake cakes. They also serve coffee. It's a perfect spot if you want to eat, have a snack, hang out with the family and kids or your four-legged children outside. I have to admit we were overwhelmed and didn't know what to get so we started off with a chocolate chip cookie and an Oreo cheesecake. We will definitely come back to try the buckeye pie, which looked amazing. The prices were reasonable, and the servers were absolutely excellent. Can't wait to come back and try something else.

My daughter and I and her youngest son stopped here together. Perhaps we should have placed an order ahead of time. But at those elevated prices for a whole pie: approximately 28.00 bucks and just a standard pie size at that, I'd think they would have a few on hand! Because of their spectacular reputation for cakes, pies, and pastries I'll return sometime!

Staff so very sweet and helpful. They had a wall of team member's fur babies around a sign about an April 7th fundraiser for Asheville Humane Society. Pooped in for my daily matcha latte and decaf latte. Enjoyed the matcha. I prefer nothing but matcha and milk in mine. If you want any syrups put in you'll have to ask. Decaf latte texturally was great the bean flavor wasn't my vibe. On the day, we were leaving town we wanted to get a box of goodies for our sweet family members who had taken care of one of our pups so that we could get away for the weekend. The team was so marvelous in helping us put together this bountiful box of goodies. Which our family members immediately opened and enjoyed nibbles of all of the different flavors and items. We originally found them when one of our family members was having health challenges and could not have dairy or gluten. They have such a wonderfully inclusive assortment of treats for everyone in the family. Including vegan. Enjoyed people watching sitting on the patio and the dog scene is awesome. Really lovely chill atmosphere with delightful team. They do have restrooms for customers. You're able to tap and pay in addition to cash and traditional credit card purchase. Always a delight to visit.

Fluffy, delicious, not too sweet. We also had an apple fritter, which was outstanding. If you ever come here and you're in the mood for a cookie, I highly recommend the black-and-white cookie, very old school, soft, tons of frosting.

We finally made it... and honestly, I think we deserve a medal…read more After multiple failed missions to visit this cinnamon bun place (closed... closed again... and somehow still closed ), we decided to try one more time as a birthday surprise for our daughter. Let me just say--the wait was so worth it, it almost feels like part of the experience now. Like a rite of passage. If you get in on your first try, are you even doing it right? From the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn't just about cinnamon buns--it was an event. And then there's Wendy, the owner, who might actually be part pastry chef, part magician, part birthday fairy. She went out of her way to make our daughter feel special, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does (and is really, really good at it). Now let's talk about the food... WOW. These are not your average cinnamon rolls. These are the kind that make you go silent mid-bite because your brain needs a second to process what just happened. Creative, over-the-top in the best way, and absolutely delicious. We tried a few different ones, and every single one felt like it was competing for "favorite child" status. By the end, we were full, happy, slightly covered in icing, and already talking about when we'd come back (and how many times we might have to try before catching them open again). 10/10 would stalk their hours and show up again. Totally worth it.
