We had the brunchable with bacon in a croissant, the bear claw with ham and cheese, both quiches, the cookies, the lemon blueberry croissant and the raspberry cheese danish!!! Worth the walk, worth the wait, the place is friendly, people are kind, no one rushes you, and the food is so yummy! I will absolutely be back again!

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.

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.

This is my absolute favorite coffee spot in Andrews, NC!…read moreJust tried a new drink called "Carrot Cake Latte" OMGOSH! It has to be my new favorite! I got it hot, because of the cool mornings here in the valley. It paired great with the Orange cranberry Scone! Of course I got it warmed! It was so moist and yummy, no butter needed there! I talked to the owners daughter and she told me the bakers arrive at 3:00-4:00 am so everything is fresh each day! My friend got a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese on a fresh made bagel! There was a chipotle aioli on the sandwich that made it over the top! I had to have a bite, just to tell everyone about it! Shhh! I might have snuck an extra bite! So SO YUMMY! The decor in the shop is so coffee chic.. loved it! Super comfy chairs and tables if you need to work. Outside plenty of tables and comfy arm chairs. They even have a fire pit for those chilly mountain days! Don't want to leave the kids out? No worries! They have a play ground! They even have a little stage area... I will be watching for some live eclectic coffee house music... hoping that will be soon!Please do not miss Morning Fog Coffee and Eats! It's a great place to treat yourself and your tummy!

After searching for bakeries in the area for several days, we discovered this gem on our last day…read morein the area. WOW! A french-style bakery with the most wonderful turnovers I've ever had! We bought three turnovers: blueberry, lemon & peach. Each one was better than the previous. The crust was flaky and buttery. The filling was made from scratch (not pie-filling). I am usually extremely disappointed in lemon and blueberry-flavored desserts as they taste fake. These were quite the opposite ! I can't say enough great things about it! We also had an eclair and chocolate-dipped shortbread cookies which were also made with BUTTER, not the lard or shortening that most other bakeries use these days. Keep up the great taste and THANK YOU for not skimping on the quality ingredients that gives people a reason to return time-and-time again. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

They also offer pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're dining with your furry friend. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Grit Bowl Special, Chicken & Waffles, Brioche French Toast, and fresh fruit. The chicken tasted just like my grandma's recipe. It was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their spicy hot honey. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee bar was another highlight! They offer so many specialty drink options, including hot chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. And don't skip the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it was some of the best we've ever had! What really made this place stand out for our family was how kid-friendly it is. The kids got to draw pictures while we ate, and afterward they were able to hang their artwork in the hallway for everyone to see. They absolutely loved it! There's also a large lounge area in the back with cozy seating and games like Shut the Box and chess, making it a great place to relax while waiting for a table or after your meal. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, outstanding service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Lucy in the Rye is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend it!
