I don't drink coffee, but JD does and has gotten numerous cups from here. I finally had a breakfast sandwich here during our last visit. You can customize it by selecting your bread, meats, eggs, cheese. I got egg and cheese on a croissant. It was good. Depending on the time you're eating in the food court, finding a table might be easy or hard. But even when it's busy, people eat fast as I'm sure like us, they can't wait to get back down to the casino!

This place had a variety of desserts, but mostly cakes and ice cream…read more I might have dropped 4 stars because of the selection, but the texture of Coconut Cake was a bit too chilled...and possibly not as fresh as it could have been? Pepperidge Farms tasted fresher. Plus, they presented the desserts in shoddy fashion...in these "To-Go" cartons...not in proper dishes. Definitely not the best bakery, but it IS a bakery...and we were glad they had it in the hotel-casino.

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!

You're better off with protein from Noodle Bar or something, but the bagels are surprisingly good. And if you're not playing poker, then bagel away. Secret Tip: Only get fruit cup if you're there before noon. Otherwise, they're sitting there too long. This place is downstairs on the hotel side (opposed to casino side). You can sit by the river, which is nice and relaxing.

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. We did get a couple baked goods to go as well. The coffee was pretty good, they have tons of flavors to choose from and make some signature drinks too. 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.

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.
