The chocolates were fantastic--we especially loved the White Squirrel Chocolate Pops. However, the service felt cold and unwelcoming; the woman working there seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else. That said, we decided to give it another try, hoping for a better experience--and it absolutely delivered. The young lady behind the counter today was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home! We're thrilled they have her leading the front of the shop, and we'll definitely be back.

You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again.

I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

Here we go again!!! Another review spurred by a lovely Yelper liking my pictures. Thank you Rose…read moreD. For jarring my memory and giving me memories to fix not writing a great review for this place. We traveled to Brevard back in 2022 for one of our annual leaf viewing tours. Fun fact about Brevard! There are white squirrels everywhere. There are also regular brown squirrels too. My wife told me about this before we got here but it's strange, there are so many of them. One of the oddest things I find is that there are no mixed squirrels. Like kinda brown, or kinda white, it's either one or the other. They hang together, surely they get it on. What the hell is going on here?!?!? Where did they come from? Why haven't they spread to other areas?? Anyway.... About this bakery. We stopped by here a few times for meals and snacks. Most of it was just pretty good and nothing to really write home (lol) about. I did not know this at the time and did not truly savor the moment well enough. I had the absolute best pastry I have ever had in my life here. I often think back to it and when I see a similar looking pastry only to be let down when I try it. It was the scone to beat all other scones!!! So freaking good!! Orange Pistachio Coriander was the flavor and nothing will ever beat it I am afraid!! If you make it here, check out the white squirrels. There are even gift shops dedicated to them and I swear they have little signs all over town about them. Also.... Mantiques is right down the way. Great shopping!! '22 - I can't even remember, lol.

I really wanted to like Blue Ridge Bakery because the atmosphere has potential, but the service has…read morebeen a consistent issue for us. We've stopped in several times, usually early when it's quiet, and unfortunately the staff (with one exception) have been noticeably unfriendly--especially toward my kids. My boys are always polite and well-mannered, so it's frustrating to see them treated with impatience or attitude. There's just no excuse for adults to be dismissive or rude to children or any customers, especially in a place that serves families. That said, Matthew deserves recognition. He's always been welcoming, kind, and genuinely great with my boys. He sets the standard for what the customer experience should be. I hope management takes a closer look at how guests are being treated, because with better service, this place could easily be somewhere we'd visit regularly.

My wife and I stopped in and tried the cookies and cream along with the praline pecan ice cream. Both were absolutely delicious. The cookies and cream was rich, creamy, and packed with big chunks of cookies in every scoop, while the praline pecan had that perfect balance of sweet and nutty with just the right amount of crunch. What stood out to me was how fresh everything tasted, it's clear they take pride in what they serve. The portions were generous too, and by the time we were done, we were already talking about what flavors we'll try next time. On top of the ice cream, the atmosphere in Dolly's is warm and inviting. It has that local charm where you feel welcome the moment you step inside. Plus, the attached gift shop makes it more than just a stop for dessert, it's an experience worth sharing. Five stars all the way. This is one of those places you'll want to keep coming back to, and I'm looking forward to uploading a photo so others can see just how good it looks too.

The bagels are steamed as the sandwich is warmed, making them much softer and easier to eat than most traditional bagel sandwiches. We had the Hello Newman (pastrami, bacon, horseradish, onions, muenster) on an asiago bagel and the Pirate (turkey, spinach cream cheese, banana peppers, provolone) on a sesame bagel. The Newman was the better of the two and the asiago bagel was a lot more interesting than the sesame. Maybe not the greatest bagels, but the sandwiches are still good overall. Prices are okay.

Everything about this place was absolutely exceptional. Starting with service! The woman that greeted us when we came in and took our order, is one of the sweetest ladies ever. I just kept telling my husband after each small interaction with her "oh my gosh I just love her". It's an incredibly warm and inviting space, and I wish we lived closer just to be able to experience that alone more often. But lord have mercy, the food? They knocked it out of the park!!! They have a huge menu with all sorts of stuff that you don't see super often. We got the Chicago dog, the BBQ burger, the sweet potato fries, onion rings, and a blackberry shake. Those sweet potato fries will have me dreaming about them until I can make my way back here. There's no amount of praise to do this place justice! All I can say is, if you haven't tried stopping by here for a meal, you absolutely need to!

The pulled pork was not my type as I smoke bbq at home all of the time. I'd try the chicken with ribs the next time. That being said, this place was awesome! If we are ever in the Brevard area, I will definitely be back. Oh! And we both got milkshakes that were top notch! Key Lime and Chocolate Covered Banana! So good!
