Bristol, Va. This bakery was our go to place for breakfast…read moreduring our week in Bristol. At first I was skeptical because of the long line that didn't seem to be moving. As it turns out there are a couple of ladies who really know how to run the show here. The line does move along efficiently and the lead lady communicates with the staff quite efficiently. There is also another lady who is a wizard of the espresso machine, it is a good thing they have her. On our first day there she came in late and this other lady took FOREVER to make our lattes, which turned out weak and milky. On follow up visits the wizard swiftly prepared our caffeinated beverages with great skill. The bean they use here has a good flavor but the espresso lacks boldness. The end product is just not rich enough, but it will do. The quiches are excellent, we always went with bacon Swiss or Loraine. They are a good size with a nice flakey crust, The granola yogurt parfaits are pretty good, the granola has a nice crunch to it. The yogurt was a bit sweet, it may be Chobani, but it went very well with the extra cup of berries you can purchase on the side. These berries by the way were fresh and beautiful. All the cookies we tried were great. They make a perfect affogato here, very addicting. I'm not sure if it's on the menu, but ask and you shall receive. The ice cream here is of a great quality, very creamy. The lemon berry tarts are way too sweet, they missed the boat on this one. I could not eat more than half of one. They did give us 15% off on the tarts because they were a couple days old. The candied pecans look good but the nuts are a bit rancid. All that sugar can't hide that.

I stopped by Roots in Johnson City and tried the rice noodles with egg rolls and pork for takeout…read morewhen they were about to close. The noodles were cooked perfectly--soft but not mushy--and the pork was flavorful and tender. Everything had a really nice balance of savory and fresh flavors. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside with a tasty filling that paired really well with the noodles. I wish there was more meat in the dish. I love the side of sauce that came with it. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly.

I was looking for some local cafes and restaurants to check out near me and this place popped up and it did not disappoint. The service was solid as well. I got the Oatmeal Cream Pie and Pumpkin Crisp. The Oatmeal Cream Pie seems to be a fan favorite and it was definitely my favorite as well. It tastes so good and it is huge! The cream in the middle is heavenly. The Pumpkin Crisp was also tasty. I enjoyed the frosting (I think they use buttercream or something so it is sweet but not overly sweet) and the walnuts at the bottom added a nice texture. I feel like the pastries were reasonably priced, at least compared to the larger cities I used to live in. I definitely want to come back and try their other pastries and even their drinks because there are a lot of them. I think their weekly menu also changes too. I would probably rate it a 4.5/5 stars if I could. But overall this is a cute stop for some yummy sweet treats!

That and the smell is intoxicating the moment you walk in. The cafe has some small items (baked goods, coffee, ice cream, bonbons), so we grabbed a few for us to nibble and share. The brownie is amazing - fudgy, yet crisp top, lots of chocolate, probably the best I've had. Peanut butter cookie has the black and white cookie vibe where it is half dipped with dark chocolate and spinkled with sea salt. We also tried a bonbon flight with some interesting truffle flavors (chai, raspberry, honey caramel, etc) but the standout for sure was just the classic single origin. That said, the chocolate is quite pricey per bonbon - you pay for what you get for sure, but its definitely a splurge type item.

Highly recommend!

I love hot chocolate and was excited to order one, but for $8, I was honestly shocked by the…read moreportion size. The cup was TINY -- not even what I would consider a normal child-size serving. It felt much more like a small tasting or shot-size cup. I don't mind paying a premium for something special, but there needs to be some reasonable relationship between the price and what you're actually receiving. At $8 each, I expected an actual cup of hot chocolate, not a few sips. It unfortunately came across as unnecessarily stingy, especially for something as simple and comforting as hot chocolate. A more generous serving -- or at the very least making the unusually small size clear before ordering -- would make a huge difference. The hot chocolate itself may is truly lovely, but at this portion and price, I wouldn't order it again. Bummer.

Sugar Cloud has a very attractive store front and the interior matches that. I love all the things they have displayed in the store with coffee and candy and other stuff for sale. The display of cupcake and brownies were very tempting, but I was focused on the donuts. The best pricing would be to get half a dozen or a dozen (buy 5 get 1 free). We only ended up getting 3. The donuts are large in size and they make their own dough daily. First one we tried was the filled chocolate buttercream. It was truly FILLED with chocolate buttercream. Every single bite had chocolate buttercream. It was definitely fresh and delicious. The Samoa and maple bacon did not disappoint either. Although they were good, I felt the pricing was a bit steep and they weren't he best donuts I've ever had. But it was worth the stop and the calories!

They had offered samples of their lemon tart at the event, which stayed on my mind--so I came back and ordered the Lorraine-style quiche. It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced by a fresh side salad. I paired it with a café au lait, which was equally well done. The ambiance is effortlessly chic--very much reminiscent of a European café--and it was lively during lunch. It's the kind of place where you can sit, linger, and people-watch... and SouthPark definitely showed up in style. At one point, several guests seated near us were speaking French, which added to the authenticity and overall experience. Service was warm and efficient, even with the crowd. The bakery itself is on the smaller side--you order inside and then head outside to sit and eat. I went on a Sunday, so it was very busy with a long line, but it moved quickly. When seating fills up, the neighboring restaurant allows use of their patio, which is a thoughtful touch. My friend enjoyed her quiche as well, and we both agreed it's a spot worth returning to--whether for a casual lunch, coffee, or a pastry break. I also order a few macarons to go and my family enjoyed them.
