    Layers of chocolate and orange zest, a Hungarian specialty!
    Mandy N.

    Stocked and DELICIOUS! We found this small shop while walking around downtown Blowing Rock and the desserts we tried were so fantastic, we thought we'd leave a review. Everything was neat, clean, and VERY professional looking. We talked with the owner's daughter, who says her mom makes everything from scratch. I was most curious about the Dobos -- a Hungarian layered dessert of chocolate mousse, sponge cake, and orange zest with ganache and a dark chocolate wafer on top -- said to be enjoyed best at room temperature, but I think I'd enjoy it more cold. We purchased one of these and a key lime cheesecake, which had toasted meringue on top -- absolutely to die for!! You can tell they work hard and are truly passionate about their pastries. Unsure of their normal hours, but we went on a Sunday and they were closing at 5. Definitely worth stopping at. I kind of want to go back and get another flavor of cheesecake and maybe a chocolate mousse cake

    Pastry case with Miss Julie

    Yelp needs to add another 5 star option, for those businesses that are outstanding in every single way. Flavia's would definitely rate 10 stars. This pastry business is located in a tiny cottage, think She Shed, on a small side street in downtown Blowing Rock. Everything was nicely labeled and priced but there were names I hadn't heard before. Julie was very informative and kindly answered all of our, "Ooooh, what's that?" questions. We were torn between a couple of items, so like any sensible person, we bought both. She told us to eat them at room temperature for best enjoyment. She said the "Crème" is homemade puff pastry with a thick layer of Mousseline Cream. That means they take their crème patisserie and then add silky butter. Is your mouth watering yet? We each got a Crème and a Cream Puff. We ate the Crème first and sweet mother of all things delicious, it was otherworldly. We immediately prayed that the Puff would have the same filling. It did. When we go back next year, I'll be getting a treat for everyday we are there. TIP #1: Beware Donna. She was in the next store Serves You Right. She offered to take our pink pastry box. Everyone in BR is so nice, we thought she was being helpful so we could shop. Then we saw the humorous glint in her eyes! Pastry Thief! LOL! Donna and Karen told us that Julie is the daughter and her mother is from Germany. The mom makes everything in Hickory and they drive it up fresh every day. They raved about everything! TIP #2: They are closed every Wednesday, so plan ahead.

    [Grade: A+] Located in the quaint little, Hallmark-esque town of Blowing Rock, this incredible local, small business has dominated my taste buds unlike any other sweets, dessert, or pastry place I've been to so far. We came here after snow tubing, so we were definitely craving something to eat after working up a sweat. Luckily we managed to hit up this place right before their December shutdown too! The first thing I thought of after tasting these cheese cakes was how rich, decadent, and how it was not overwhelming in any sense. It was absolutely perfect in the baseline cheesecake and then blows you out of the water with the differing varieties of cheesecakes. We got the key lime, oreo, and pecan pie cheese cakes and they were all so good in their own ways. There's a lot of fancy words I could use to try to recreate the beauty of how these cheesecakes explode in flavour, but I can only heavily implore you to come on your own and see what it's like! Overall, I'd definitely come back whenever I pass through Blowing Rock. It's a phenomenal rare experience, and especially an unexpected treasure of the area.

    Wonderful small business to support! Do not miss this place. The cakes and pies are pieces of artwork and taste wonderful. The daughter was the one to wait on us and she was so sweet and patient while we tried to narrow our decision. We purchased the apple crumble cheesecake and went back for a piece of the coconut cake. Both were wonderful. Both pieces were more than enough to share!

    Red velvet cheesecake

    Service was great! If I had questions they were very happy to help answer. I got three desserts for hubby and I to try. Red velvet cheesecake, peanut butter cheesecake and chocolate covered cannoli. I love to bake and make a lot of cheesecakes. I was not a fan of the peanut butter topping cheesecake. The plus side is they have such a great variety that I'm going back this week to try more. Everything else was delicious.

    All delicious but the lemon cheesecake was INCREDIBLE! Airy, light, and the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Flavia's deserts are what dreams are made of!!! Everything that I tried was amazing, but the cheesecake was especially to die for. Do yourself a favor and get an assortment of the best European delights you've ever had in your life. You will not regret it.

    Yummy treats.

    Saturday May 23rd a friend & I visited the Drive-thru location. Since this location on Commonwealth…read morehas been open, I have failed to go into the estab- lishment. My visit yesterday was a very PLEASANT experience. If U too have never gone into this location, it would be well worth your visit. Seeing all the fresh pastries & ice cream displayed gives a much needed boost!! Stop by S O O N

    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.
