They unfortunately were out of croissants which was what we both wanted. So she offered to make our sanswiches on bread as a toasted sandwich. The eggs were fresh fried The bacon was microwave bacon and very little on sandwich so that was disappointing Hubbys ham sandwich had a lot more meat on it The sandwiches were simple and like you would make at home. I ordered a Carmel mochiatto and it had a weird taste about it and a burnt Carmel taste definitely would not order again Hubby ordered the cafe au lei there was nothing special about it and it wasn't traditional as they didn't use chicory coffee.

This place is awesome! Best Grilled Chicken Salad I have ever had…read more I asked the owner how the chicken tastes like that. He said they use a seasoned grill, so all those different tastes from everything cooked on the grill are mixed in. That taste really popped! And the vegetables were super fresh. I even enjoyed the bacon bits (not like me). I preferred the Thousand Island dressing over the Italian dressing for this meal. I didn't eat the egg (I only eat scrambled eggs). The second trip was more of a breakfast meal and also very strong. Super-fresh fruit, eggs cooked very well done as requested, good bacon, and quality toast. I would give the first meal a 10 and the second meal a 9.4. Both incredibly high. The staff is very friendly, the prices are fair, and they will accommodate anything you want that isn't on the menu as long as they have it. Highly Recommended!

Our breakfast was delicious - fluffy peach pancakes for me and banana nut for him, over-medium eggs that were spot on and bacon that was the absolute perfect intersection of crispy-chewy.

But there was no "old shabby diner" feel - someone has taken very good care of this restaurant. It's clean, bright, and cheerful. Expect to wait for your fluffy goodness - this is a popular place!

The diner is on a corner (park in the adjacent lot, or waaay down the block if you were late waking) and leave your name with the hostess. Super clean with a staff of amazingly friendly and superfast waitresses the restaurant is surprisingly spacious and feels more like a new house than a diner. The menu is just as large and accommodates light eaters and "I only eat breakfasters" alike. Portions are large and all food is served fast and hot. Try the sliced smoked sausage with hot onion and peppers if you like spice: with scrambled eggs it's fire. Pancakes were huge, bacon was generous and coffee constantly refilled. Grits? Yes please. Only thing missing for me was livermush (hint, hint ownership). No disappointments here; if you are patient the reward is a great meal with a two-hour nap to follow.

The bagels were very different from any we have had before, had a very home baked bread taste. The sweet potato bowl was very flavorful and hit just the right note for lunch. We did get a couple baked goods to go as well. The coffee was pretty good, they have tons of flavors to choose from and make some signature drinks too. The staff is very friendly and will give excellent recommendation. The decor is rustic cute. Worth a visit!!!

During our Fourth of July trip to Bryson City, we always try to support local coffee shops instead…read moreof the big chains, so we stopped into La Dolce Vita Bakery for breakfast and coffee. 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.

What a treat coming back to visit family, renting and Airbnb just a few homes over from this gem…read more We are from SoCal, or for easier location - San Diego, California where stores like this are in abundance, everywhere, from small mom-pop shops like Cream of the crop in Oceanside, CA to Frazier farms or Lazy Acres for bigger chain. Yonger is a rare shop, in my humble opinion, for east coast since healthy choices both in markets and eateries are like trying to find a needle in a haystack so my heart happy knowing this exists here not far from where we stayed at just minutes from our children's maternal great-grandparents home. So many wonderful options and staff was friendly from the time we walked in to the moment of checkout. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking for more sustainable items or at least a healthier choice here and there.

The meat and three along with the vegetable only options are welcomed changes to the family style only meal for those desiring smaller portions. In our experience, the food was served hot and was perfectly prepared. We chose white meat chicken and received two large breast that were excellent! The two catfish fillets and four slices of meat loaf were delicious. The vegetables were Lima beans, cabbage casserole, creamed corn, potatoes au gratin, slaw and a spring salad. All were served fresh with two biscuits and two corn muffins. The relish, apple butter and Sogrum-sage butter were delightful. We were blessed to have April for our server, and highly recommend her for your visit. She shared the history of the area and is proud of the changes and history of the Dillard House. Thank you for a great meal. The fried chicken is better than I remembered. Yes, the restaurant is open, and parts of the motel are being remodeled/updated and the new hotel is under construction. Don't let the remodeling deter you from the eating at the restaurant or enjoying your favorite drink from the bar.

Poor service, poor food quality. Not impressed at all…read more Ambience is nice, very spacious, newly built, restaurant. Friendly staff. Not very attentive at all. Say for 15 minutes before the manager had to obtain a server for our table. After the food was delivered, the server did not provide adequate service. I requested a water refill, which took an additional 15 minutes, because she continually forgot. Food quality wasn't the greatest. They served chicken, which consisted of 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks. Along with friend catfish filets, that had been way over salted. Both were very soggy. I ate half the thigh and quit. Veggies? Only vegetables were Lima beans, everything else considered vegetables, was a casserole. A table full of starches. Over rated and over priced. Sadly disappointed. If you want good southern food, go further south to Thomasville, GA. Go to O'Neals. You can fool some folks, but not someone that knows southern cooking. We won't return.
