Terri M.

They're the only bagel shop I've found in East Tennessee that actually does it right by boiling and baking them first, and they have a bunch of unique flavors you won't see elsewhere. Unfortunately, the breakfast bagel is a pass: the bacon tastes pre-cooked from a store, and the eggs are those spongy, frozen fake ones (see picture). The pumpkin bagel was weird and lacked sweetness, and the cookie was just okay. But the strawberry bagel was great! I'd come back, but I'm sticking to a bagel with cream cheese from now on.

Staff and bagels were both great. Very reasonable prices and tasted yummy. I even bought two extra 6 packs to take home to Knoxville for the next couple weeks. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to Bristol.

This bakery is awesome! It's so cute with so many amazing food options. They have a plethora of bagels, lunch sandwich options, and other goodies to choose from. There is ample seating inside and two bistro tables out front for outdoor seating. Staff was friendly and serves everything quickly.

Cinnamon Roll

Nice location along state street with a wide variety of options. We got a cinnamon roll and a bagel with cream cheese. Both were very good. Good customer service. Plenty of seating and good vibes.

Food was great, we loved the bagels, and the coffee was great. We loved the atmosphere and the area was great. We arrived in the morning before church and we found service to be friendly but not as fast as we desired. We would gladly return.

Blueberry pancake bagel with vanilla bean cream cheese
Hydration S.

Delicious! The bagels were really good. I especially liked the blueberry pancake bagel with the vanilla bean cream cheese. The banana nut bagel was overpowered by the cream cheese. Service was good, they were helpful, quick, and kind.

Sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese , tomatoes, onion, bacon

Bagel was good! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Nice crunch when you bit into it. I liked all the bagel options. They go light on the cream cheese if you're big into cream cheese.

A favorite in Bristol. The maple bacon bagel with sausage egg and cheese is the best. Great coffee too!

The main building is a lovely and spacious modern inn that balances comfort and traditional elements with open and wide modern floor plans and bright spaces in a pleasing way while retaining the cozy fireplace experiences of more traditional settings. A first floor outdoor veranda opposite the main entrance stretches the length of the main building overlooking the well groomed hillside vineyards and a stocked, picturesque fishing pond. The hillside stretches up the horizon and with the westward facing veranda, offers stunning sunset views along with wine service. Below is a patio off the main restaurant and bar offering even more seating around fire pits with couches and Adirondack chairs with appetizer and drinks available for the bar/restaurant. We toured a king 2 room suite with a large sitting area separated from an equally large and well appointed sleeping area with a private large balcony that also faced the western sunset over the vineyards. The rooms were described as more akin to an apartment whereas the 9 onsite yurts accommodations were described more akin to a condo, described as pet friendly and a quiet community. Behind the yurts is a large barn structure that serves as a tasting room with an outdoor seating area with Edison lights strung around the overhang creating a warm space to enjoy the vineyards end production, currently nine wine vintages. Beside the main building are two much larger shaped yurt structures housing a full fitness center and a spa as will as an outdoor pool. We dined at Hickory for dinner and enjoyed their farm to table, Appalachia oriented menus. That will be a separate review but it hits 10/10 for hospitality, service, presentation and food excellence. We plan a fall trip for an overnight stay when the vineyards come in just before harvest to get the full experience! Also, we initially had a glass of their Chardonnay and being pleased with this, we opted to enjoy a bottle with dinner even though the wine list had equally excellent choices from familiar vineyards. This is highly recommended!

Bristol, Va. We checked into the adjoining Sessions Hotel…read moreand decided to have dinner here, why not? It is close and everyone working there was extraordinary friendly. Our waiter was really cool with his Southern Hospitality and acquired accent (Not From the South, but Accents Can be Contagious). We ordered our food and it came out quickly. Right away I saw that the ribs were charred. I ordered a whole rack as I am able to eat that many when the ribs are moist and tender. Unfortunately, the char was not limited to the glaze like some styles I've had. These baby backs were burnt well into the meat and the carbon was difficult to avoid. This also contributed to a very dry meat. It's a shame because the meat around the bones was quite tender and fall off the bone consistency. I find it hard to believe the pit master was even in the kitchen. Ribs are typically a signature dish in BBQ, and any one with pride in their profession would not allow these ribs to be served. How many times have these ribs be reheated under a flame or heat lamp anyway? Burnt Ends (The Actual Name of the Dish): These are actually pretty good, the flavor kind of hints at a wine sauce. They are way too dry to get through the entire serving though. Fried Green Tomatoes: not bad, just basic. Red Skin Potato Salad: Good, not anything special. Sweet Potato Soufflé: Very tasty, I did eat all of this. Pork Belly Collard Greens: The first few bites were interesting, but absolutely no empirical evidence by taste of pork belly. I soon tired of the vinegar and abandoned the dish. Tomato & Cucumber Salad: OK at first but too much vinegar. I boxed up my ribs thinking they may be salvageable for dinner the next day. Nope. The microwave just dried them out further and also destroyed what was left of the "Burnt Ends". What finally made me certain I would never spend another dollar here was our waiter returned to our table to spread the Gospel. I respect another's right to believe in what ever religion or belief system they want. However, this is a place of business and you work here. It is not the time or place to be proselytizing to a captive audience of customers. I had thought Southern Craft would be our go to place for breakfast, lunch or dinner during our week in Bristol, but I never set foot inside again.

So when our son…read morerequested a Red Velvet Cake for his birthday, I asked a few neighbors and they recommended Unique Cake. I was worried I wouldn't get a cake as I just heard of them and his birthday was that day. A very nice lady answered and eased my mind by saying they would be able to supply one today! She was very patient and explained what they offer. I left it up to her for the colors and writing, but did request buttercream instead of creamcheese frosting as that was customary on Red Velvet. She said they would have it ready after 12:00!!! Wow, how accomodating was that. Pricing was resonable too. Well, just to let you know that was the best Red Velvet cake we have ever had!!! My son loved it! It was beautiful too. Just too bad he snagged a big piece b4 I could take a pic! I will be recommending Unique Cake to everyone and will be using them for all our bakery needs! Thank you so much for all your help in exceeding our expectations! We will be back soon.
