We did return the next afternoon to select four truffles to try. They also offer pre-selected boxes and even gelato. Of the ones we tried, we think the coffee and mint chocolate chip flavors were the best. The amaretto truffle was a little weak. Anyway, we're happy to support independent businesses like this one. The front staff seemed a little young but they were helpful. We'd recommend stopping here if you're in Brevard.

Bracken is one our favorite small mountain town bakeries! They have a delicious variety of…read morepastries, croissants, breads, scones, cookies, pies, and more! 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!

I live a block from the bakery, which is definitely a perk. I've pretty much had everything they…read moreoffer, and it was all excellent. Their chicken salad is stellar; i no longer make my own - i just walk up the street and buy theirs. Their sandwiches are excellent. I've also bought a number of cakes, cookies and other desserts there. My favorite is the tiramisu and the red velvet cake. The cakes are also gorgeous - beautifully decorated. There's a reason you see a lot of locals dining here - we know it is one of the best places in town.

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've always joked that a bagel is really one of the worst formats for a sandwich because the chewy…read morenature causes the middle to immediately eject the opposite side. Looks like some genius named Sully figured out the solution to this by steaming the entire sandwich and the result is a thumbs up. I got a breakfast steamer that I customized to my hearts content. It came out true to the name, steaming hot and delicious. The fellow who greeted us was full of energy, vim, and vigor and we appreciated his nature! The steamed step really does solve all the problems of the traditional bagel sandwich, this is honestly the only way to eat one from now on.

We had our own bottled water so we didn't order any drinks. We grabbed a small table and a server brought us our order. Wow, the bagels were very hot -- I guess from being steamed rather than toasted. We had to wait and let them cool down a little bit. Both were filling and hit the spot. There was another family plus a couple and some college students there by the time we finished, so I guess they attract a wide crowd.

I got the Italian beef sandwich this time (highly recommend), and it was genuinely perfect. My mom got the meatloaf sandwich which was very tasty, and my dad really enjoyed his Carolina dog. Will forever praise the sweet potato fries, but the onion rings knock it out of the open as well, especially alongside the dipping sauce they provide with them. The gentleman who rang us up was very good at his job, I regret not snagging his name! Very polite, which is always noticed and greatly appreciated. Clean, plenty of seating (inside and outside), and just an overall great vibe to the place. Wish I didn't live 2 hours away, cause this would be a weekly, if not daily spot!

Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant had a run down diner vibe. You could probably pare it down to $20 a person but that is still bonkers for sandwich and fries. I don't think we will be back but glad we tried it for sure!
