We would have loved having this spot open when we lived in Waynesville. We moved in 2019 but still…read morevisit yearly to visit family and we eat at least one meal here every visit. What the village lacks is actual sit down food spots. (I previously worked at the Hammel House with Mrs. Bowman- we miss them!) The Butter Churn is filling a void and doing a good job at it. The menu is nice, soups- sandwiches & salad options. Our niece really enjoys their potato chips (I think they make them in house, I could be wrong.) The decor is eclectic, it feels like they have small collections and perhaps bought things locally from the antique shops. The back room had a Christmas Santa collection and it was expansive. Coca-Cola, clowns, vintage troll dolls- it all just feels like visiting someone's quirky aunts home. It feels homey and nice. The last time we went we had about twenty mins before closing and were popping in for ice cream. We were told...and reminded multiple times that they wanted to be out of the building at exactly closing time. We said we understood (I mean yes- I also love being off work on time) but the constant reminders felt like they were shoving us out the door when we were just placing ice cream orders and trying to pay. It might have just been a stressful night. We did pop in the next day and I asked about their coffee selection. The response we got was a bit dismissive and they told us "we have black coffee, we don't do any of that fancy stuff. Go down the street to Taylor's." I was going to order the regular coffee but it was off-putting so we did as they recommended and left. I know I don't *look* like a local- for obvious reasons. I don't want to believe this is why we received weird service compared to other patrons. Regardless, we have enjoyed the actual food and ice cream here. Our family likes it and visits weekly- I will just trust them that they get good consistent service every time.

Anyway I mostly came here for their desserts! When I first walked in to the store, I was a little turned off by the smell inside of it. But I went in anyway because I wanted to try this place out. Their display case was a little lackluster so I settled on some cookies. They were pretty good. There were five or so varieties of cookies. But I guess because of the name, Chantilly Cream Dessert Shop I thought there would be custards, cakes, or maybe even cream puffs here. Not pies, cookies, and shortbread cookies. There wasn't any cakes on display for you to buy a slice either. This is more of a café with some desserts. There's sandwiches, soups, and an even bigger menu on the weekends.

The staff was an amazing at ensuring our allergen needs were addressed. If you order hot tea you receive your own pot with loose tea of your preferred flavor. My favorite items have to be the sugared scone and the ham & Swiss biscuit. We also were seated within the Cafe this time, which I'm sure is due to me reserving our spot around Christmas. It's just the cutest place with its vintage tea cups and saucers. The location is nestled back in a historic looking building. It's just so cute. I really need to go back for cafe lunch sometime.

There's pluses and minuses to this place. One of the…read morebiggest minuses I've experienced in my visits is me constantly going "does anyone work here??" Want to purchase from the gift shop? Not an employee in sight. The food and bar always seem to be closed. Can't even find where to purchase their famous doughnuts. They built the huge play area for children which is great! But please don't advertise all your food and drink options if it's never going to be open or an employee around to check you out. Nothing like your toddler melting down because they want a juice and you can't find a way to pay for it. I love the baby animals and all the kids activities but until they figure out how to properly run this place I probably won't come back.

Boo! The filling was very hot and very, very cheesy. The cheese dominates, overwhelming the eggs, ground beef and veggies. Next time, I will ask for light cheese.
