Friendly and fast service, a variety of seating across several rooms of a large, older converted house, and good vibes all around. If you find yourself within driving distance of this place and you're in the market for exceptional espresso drinks, fresh and varied baked goods and a relaxing atmosphere, do yourself a favor and make your way to this spot. It's worth going a little out of the way for. Don't waste your time looking for a drive thru to get your caffeine. Come here to where they have the good stuff. You'll be glad you did. Plenty of parking, plenty of coffee/espresso drink options, professional baristas, and a solid selection of both sweet and savory munchies. What else do you even need? 5 stars all around.

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 were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

Yonger is a rare shop, in my humble opinion, for east coast since healthy choices both in markets and eateries are like trying to find a needle in a haystack so my heart happy knowing this exists here not far from where we stayed at just minutes from our children's maternal great-grandparents home. So many wonderful options and staff was friendly from the time we walked in to the moment of checkout. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who's looking for more sustainable items or at least a healthier choice here and there.

This is the fluffiest biscuit. I'm so glad I came for my little brunch snack on my walk. I got the…read morehalf order of biscuits and gravy, it was perfectly seasoned with a little bit of spice and the biscuit was fluffy and perfect- I could eat 10. I got the coconut refresher, not too sweet and still had caffeine. They have topo Chico, my favorite sparkling water, so they got bonus points for that. They have a pastry window(?) that had a decadent looking, huge, slice of blueberry coffee cake and a cheesecake I would have tried if I was in the mood for sweets. I saw a couple enjoying it and letting the staff know the coffee was delicious. The tables are spacious, there were only around 6 people when I went and the atmosphere made it easy to ignore the other people and write this. But other "strangers" began conversations so it is still inviting. The music is acoustical versions of modern songs. I saw a staff cleaning the counters around the place while I ate so they definitely keep it clean. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and not overbearing. Overall perfect place to sit and read on my break from a gloomy day. Only note would be that I wanted my food for here and they made it to go.
