    Breakfast savory bearclaw.
    Kimberly M.

    Look, even if there is a line that leads to the door just be patient. These are some of the best pastries I've had in the USA. Our table ordered the savory breakfast Bearclaw, quiche, the blackberry, scone, and several coffee drinks. The decor is fun and the shop adjoining the space offers a great way to spend time after the meal or while you're waiting for your order. I wanted to try so much more. Five star service and food!

    Hot chocolate with marshmallows

    We stopped in for the first time in the midafternoon. I like that they offer half caf in their espressos so that I'm not wired all evening. The coconut cake was a generous slice even for 2 and really flavorful. We decided to go back the next morning and there was already a line forming 10 min before opening on a Sunday. The food was worth the wait! The cinnamon roll was the right mix of buttery, cinnamon-y, and creamy. The crust on the quiche was very flaky. The breakfast sandwich on a croissant was also a hit. The mixed coffee drinks were good, and the marshmallows in the hot chocolate were a hit with my daughter. The adjoining toy shop has lots to offer, and there's a small play area between where kids can play while the adults wait or eat.

    16oz caramel cold brew with cold foam

    Last day in Bryson City and wanted to try another coffee shop. OMG - the cold brew is to die for. Walked in and customers were sat where they wanted. Quiet and quaint. Staff were warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend stopping in to try their delicious baked goods.

    Hey everyone! I just have to share my delightful experience at Bryson Bakery this morning while I was enjoying my stay in this charming town. I hadn't really found a great breakfast spot yet, but I heard so many wonderful things about this place that my wife and I decided to check it out. As soon as we stepped inside, it felt like we were in a cozy Hallmark movie--it was like stepping into another era, and it was absolutely wonderful! Now, let me tell you about the food, which was truly the star of the show. We were in for a treat! We kicked things off with their brunchable breakfast sandwich, which was just scrumptious, and then we had the bear claw sandwich. After that, we couldn't resist trying a cinnamon sugar-coated donut, and of course, we had to go for the hometown favorite, the morning bun. I have to say, everything was a cut above the rest!

    I really have been holding this review for a week because I really didn't want to let the secret out more than it already was. This is based on two back to back services. The first day I went I checked it out because I saw a lady eating a giant croissant, and I asked her where she got it. So when I went in, it was busy with people at least 10 people in front of me at 1 pm . Attached to the bakery is a little mercantile shop. I got the strawberry croissant, the French silk pie, the peach cobbler and the blueberry lemon stuffed croissant the first day. I also got a black eye iced coffee with white mocha. Out of all of them, the French silk pie, which was gluten-free took the cake for me. The lemon blueberry was a little too sweet for me, but it was still really good. The peach cobbler was as expected, but I really enjoyed the crumble on top the strawberry croissant. Ott was very light and airy. And of course, the coffee was on point. The service was amazing. The guy that was checking me out was super helpful. We did not know anything about this place and he answered all the questions. Regardless, how busy it was they had top-notch customer service. It may have been a little slow points, but they never stopped helping and working. Now for the second day, it was even a longer line at 11 in the morning. This time I got a plain croissant, which was very flaky and airy. I got another strawberry croissant a peach cruffin which had like a peach jam inside with a whipped cream with a like cinnamon coating on the outside, and it was really good and I got a piece of the gluten-free poppyseed loaf. The poppyseed in the French silk pie, were my top two favorite. Now when I ordered my coffee, it was supposed to be ice, but I got hot so I just asked for a cup of ice and they were super nice about giving it to me. I would go to the bakery every day if I lived in Bryson city. As far as the Mercantile, it has so many little things it has HomeGoods. It has shoes that has clothes that has toys and has all kinds of things inside for you to shop and to look at for you and the kids. Inside of the bakery, there is a little seating area and there's usually always somewhere to sit even with a small seating selection. Now the hours are weird and I think that's why it's so busy they at the bakery are closed three days a week. And they are open 8 to 3. Now the mercantile is open all week and it is open a little bit longer. This is definitely a place you want to try. I promise this is going to be your most favorite stop.

    Peaches and cream cruffin! DELICIOUSNESS
    Azalia P.

    Our favorite morning stop in Bryson City! The baked goods, coffee and friendly staff are second to none. This trip we tried the breakfast casserole, scone sausage and cheese sandwich and the peaches and cream cruffin. Every adjective for delicious comes to mind! Oh and the store next door has the most unique and beautiful specialty items! If you don't stop in for a taste you will be missing out. Tips: the bakery is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

    Fast service. Connected to the Market gift shop. It's a hip bright place to bring the family. I love that they have toys for the kids to play with while you relax.

    The danish and maple twist are both delicious!

The shop itself is adorable, clean, and had a steady flow of customers. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered an iced dirty chai latte, which is my go-to whenever I'm trying a new coffee shop because it's a pretty reliable way to compare places. It was good, and exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was tasty, but pretty standard. Looking back, I think I'd try one of their other bakery items next time. My friend ordered one of their homemade biscuits. It took quite a while to come out--around 15 to 20 minutes--and several other customers were served before we received it. It honestly felt like the biscuit may have been forgotten, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had a pleasant experience. Nothing was overpriced, the staff was kind, and it's the type of local place I always encourage travelers to support. While there are a couple of other coffee shops in Bryson City I'd probably try before returning, I still think La Dolce Vita Bakery is worth a visit so you can form your own opinion. Every café has busy days, and one experience doesn't define a business. If you're looking for a cozy local spot for coffee and a pastry while exploring downtown Bryson City, it's definitely worth stopping in.

We stopped in on the recommendation of a local shop owner while we were visiting Bryson City, and I'm so glad we did. Being from the Tampa area, we're pretty picky about Cuban sandwiches. They're a staple back home, so our expectations were high. The owner happened to be there and confidently recommended the Cuban, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. There was a short wait while it was made fresh, but it was well worth it. The sandwich was perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly tasted like a little piece of home. We packed it up and enjoyed it before heading out for an afternoon of tubing, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The shop itself is charming, clean, and has a welcoming atmosphere where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. We didn't try the sweets this time, but they looked delicious and give us another reason to come back. Meeting the owner made the experience even better. He was friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes pride in what he serves. Whether you're a fellow Floridian missing a great Cuban or you've never had one before, do yourself a favor and stop by High Test Deli & Sweet Shop. It's absolutely worth it. This is an easy 5-star recommendation, and we'll be back the next time we're in Bryson City.

The brewery has a great rooftop atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with a drink while taking in downtown Bryson City. They also host live music, although we weren't able to stay long enough to catch the performance. The highlight of our visit was definitely the bartender. I wish I remembered their name because they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to recommend drinks, suggest places around Bryson City to explore, and even gave us recommendations for campgrounds where we could stay that night. Those kinds of interactions are what make traveling so memorable. We had originally planned to grab food from the restaurant downstairs, but that didn't work out during our visit. Thankfully, the brewery itself more than made up for it with its relaxed atmosphere and outstanding hospitality. If you're looking for a laid-back rooftop spot to enjoy a local beer, listen to live music, or chat with friendly locals while exploring Bryson City, Mountain Layers Brewing Company is definitely worth a stop. We'd happily grab another drink here the next time we're in town.
