    My Mom, my neighbors and I went up the Road here. I had never eaten here. We had breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Nice breakfast They serve outdoors when It's warm outside. I would eat here again. I would like to try lunch or dinner You did have to ask for anything you wanted. Like coffee. They walk right by you and see your table is crowded and don't ask to pull anything and have coffee and don't offer Kinda fd up I thought

    First time for all six of us, and we enjoyed most of the food, the atmosphere, and the company. Two young ladies were our wait staff - pleasant and efficient. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch, and didn't feel rushed. Husband had the fried chicken sandwich. It wasn't as good as he hoped. It was a little dry even with added mayonnaise. In the middle of eating it, he switched to a knife & fork. His side salad was okay. I had the Cobb salad with greens, lots of chicken, sliced hard boiled egg, diced cucumbers & tomatoes, green pepper & avocado slices and picked onions. It was good - especially the chicken and avocado slices. I'm not sure what everyone else had, but most of us cleaned our plates. The desserts were delicious. Husband savored every bite of his coconut custard pie. The blueberry cheesecake was very good, but after a bite of the salted caramel cheesecake that a friend ordered, I know I should have had that. They were out of key lime pie which 2 friends wanted. They took bites of the two cheesecakes and two coconut custard pie slices. The service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back, to try other things on the menu, but especially for the desserts!

    This cafe is the welcoming gathering spot for this rural hamlet as well as a refueling stop for DuPont hikers and bikers. A chalkboard menu offers daily specials. Expect a mix of cultural cuisines here. Burgers and trout are staples on the regular menu. Prices are moderate and service is very friendly. Nice outdoor dining area too.

    My second time at Cedar Mountain and it had been a few years. I thought perhaps I exaggerated how great it was last time in my head because I was so hungry after my long hike in DuPont. Nope. This time I went pre hike and it was still fabulous! Again, I sat outside in the cozy garden patio. Waitress was very attentive but also told us to help ourselves to anything we needed from the water or coffee station if she got busy inside. I ordered the huevos rancheros overly creamy grits -- such a mix of flavors and textures. Husband enjoyed the Mexican omelette and daughter enjoyed pancakes and grits. We were all impressed. I absolutely love this little gem of a restaurant.

    Of all the places we ate in this area, Cedar Mountain Cafe was by far the one we enjoyed the most. Their food didn't disappoint. We ended up going there multiple times to try their menu for different times of the day (breakfast and lunch). Our service both times were very nice. We had the same waitress. The ambiance was busy and smaller in sitting compared to other establishments we visited. One tip to know is that your whole party needs to be there before you are seated. Parking when we went wasn't bad...you can find plenty in the back! They have a beautiful water fountain that mimics a water fall; very pretty for photos!

    We visited the chapel at sun rise near by and needed to stop to eat something before heading back home to Jacksonville Fl. Everyone was super nice. The ambiance felt so homey, and the chilaquiles was fantastic. If in the area again I will be back.

    Heaven on Earth.

    What a great little gem tucked away in the Cedar Mountain area. Locally sourced food at a fair price. Bacon Hash was amazing!

    Great food, but not-so-friendly service. They can be dismissive and rude to customers. The food can be worth it though.

    Square Root just makes sense. We were so happy to have gotten a table on the patio at Square Root…read morefor a lunch in Brevard before we had to leave NC through Asheville to head home. A lot of cafes in and around the greater Asheville area have a similar vibe. Small, hip, no frills, friendly and welcoming. You'll notice all the framed rave reviews on the wall inside and the website boasts its 16 year reign as #1 restaurant in Brevard, and the menu definitely lives up. We started with the Bavarian Pretzel (which was actually recommended to us by the server at the chocolate shop across the alleyway.) It was very much the right way to go. The pretzel is adorned with several meats, slices of cheese, picked veggies (the pickled okra is amazing!) and some dipping sauces. You could come just for this, a few drinks and maybe another app and have a wonderful time! However you'd miss the delicious entrees. I got the Brunswick stew which was heavenly. My son loved his cedar plank salmon, said it was one of this favorite salmon preps he's ever had. The ambiance on the patio was pleasant with the hanging plants. The restaurant feels like a hidden gem as you have to travel one of the side alleys to find it. But locals seem to have no problem finding their award winning fave. If you're visiting town, this restaurant is definitely a winner. Plus there are some great shops to stroll nearby before or after.

For dinner I had the southwest blackened chicken Cobb salad which was very good as well. Prices were a little up there, but not too crazy. Service was a little slow (they were pretty busy at the time we went) but the server was well educated on the menu. The restaurant was nicely appointed, comfortable and they have a separate room for their bar.
