The first thing I saw in front of this business was a Puppy Pit stop bowl of water, and I was instantly glad we stopped. What a small yet immensely thoughtful gesture! Now, on to the drinks! My husband ordered a mint frappee and I ordered an iced coffee with cream and toffee syrup. The owner and employee were so friendly and we had great conversation for about 10 minutes. The drinks were both beautiful and delicious. The river runs right behind the coffee shop and we walked down to enjoy the view with our coffee. It was a great experience.

My husband & I biked the ecusta trail with our daughter and stopped by this spot on the way back. We got the smash burger but had to get it with gluten free bread since we can't have gluten, and it was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had! I absolutely love that they use no seed oils in this place. So tough to find! I was super excited to try the drinks with their house made flavors but they fell a bit flat for me. I got the strawberry basil matcha , and the matcha seemed watered down unfortunately. My husband got the toasted coconut latte and the drink fell flat for him as well. The atmosphere is beautiful & calm! Either way, we were happy to support local, go to a seed-oil free spot, and have drinks with housemade syrups! Could've just been a bad day for the barista. Looking forward to trying again!

I got the thanksgiving croissant and it hits that Thanksgiving leftover vibe so well haha. It is also *massive* which is great--leftovers of the leftover sandwich! The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.

He's a die-hard fan of liver mush and biscuits, and this spot came highly recommended. Just a quick and scenic 30-minute drive for us, but it felt like we were uncovering a true hidden gem. We were greeted warmly and even got to chat with the owner about how truly regional liver mush is--love that kind of local food convo. I went with the BEC (bacon, egg & cheddar) on toasted sourdough, and it was everything a breakfast sandwich should be--crispy bacon, perfectly fried eggs, melty cheddar, all hugged by golden sourdough. So simple, so good. My husband ordered the biscuit with liver mush and cheddar, plus a side of their creamy, peppery sawmill gravy. That biscuit? Fluffy, buttery, and big enough to share (but let's be real, he gave me just one bite). One bite with gravy spooned over the top and his birthday was off to a mouthwatering start. He already said next time he's adding a fried egg. We sat in their cozy dining room, surrounded by shelves of local hot sauces, jams, teas--and explored their adorable adjacent shop full of handmade knits, vintage clothes, jewelry, and gifts. Total treasure trove. This is the kind of shop you're going to find that one of a kind scarf that everyone is going to ask where you bought it! If you're craving a satisfying, affordable, and oh-so-Southern breakfast or lunch, this spot is 100% worth the drive. Can't wait to come back!

The key lime pie flavor is great - I think it's even better than an actual key lime pie. I've only been visiting Montreat for a few years, so I never experienced the "previous" versions of "The Huck." I love the views and the seating options in the current cafe. The service can be slightly delayed at the lunchtime rush, but they are very good at keeping up with the rush. And our food was always very fresh.
