Dear Vicky, Not sure why it's so difficult to purchase items…read moreat your shop, i.e. Bread or Cookies. The available items mentioned always seem to be a chore as many, many times, we come to your cute bakery to hear the following excuses/reasons: Out of bread Didn't make bread today, because of xyz Out of cookes Didn't bake cookies today, because of xyz Store closed early Etc We have been coming to your shop for a very long time and today tried again to see a closed sign and yellow tape, maybe someone painted the walkway? Your only open 4 days and we just can't continue coming any longer. Personally, in my past I owned not 1 but 2 bakeries and never made it so difficult for customers. Your products are fabulous when you find time to put the time into actually baking them

My cousin and I stumbled upon this place a couple months ago and we were SO IMPRESSED!! The shop…read moreis ADORABLE and extremely inviting!! We bought a bunch of stuff and everything was OH SO GOOD!!! I was lucky enough to get a loaf of chocolate sour dough bread with peanut butter chips that was extra from a special order. Best bread I have ever had!!! My husband and I ate it everyday for breakfast until it was gone and it was gone way too fast!!! I can't even explain the taste and texture of the lemon cookies, I can only say they are BEYOND DELICIOUS!!! Like nothing I have ever had, except for yesterday when my husband and I stopped in to pick up an order (2 loaves of that yummy chocolate sour dough, which was still warm and the whole shop smelled like it when we walked in...omg!!) and we tried the Blueberry Lemon cookies!! I seriously can't describe how good their cookies are!! We also tried one of their buttermilk cinnamon doughnuts...I really don't have words for how good that was either!! Looks like an apple cider doughnut, which I love, but this was even better! Both times I have been there, the service was exceptional! It was easy to place an order via Facebook Messenger and I received the invoice quickly by email, paid immediately and couldn't wait to go pick up my stuff!! There was plenty of communication about my order and I was notified of when it was ready to pick up. I also ordered some lemon cookies, one of which I just had and YUMMMMMMMMM!!! Just YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! I will be back!!!!

Bagels on Main Street. My idea of a perfect pairing. This is my second visit, and it was again…read moreperfectly pleasing. The bagels have a wonderfully chewy crust, but aren't so dense that I felt overwhelmed by bread. While they don't have my favs in stock yet (pumpernickel, marble and poppy), Brooke (the owner) assures me they're working on a supplier with a wider selection. I'll be satisfied with sesame for now. My fav bagel is lox with chive cream cheese, red onion and capers. Traditionally capers, lettuce, tomato and dill pickle are on this platter. While it wasn't on the menu description, they were happy to accommodate my request and added these items. This was the perfect post workout lunch. A pumpkin spice coffee finished off my meal. During each visit someone visited my table to inquire if everything was satisfactory. With pleasant employees, cheerful decor and satisfying food, this is a lovely stop for sustenance before, during or after shopping.

The bagels have gotten dry over the last several weeks as they seem to be conserving on cream cheese. Today's bagel was stale. I am considering finding a new "usual place" but hope they quickly bring the business back to its original goodness soon.

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.

It's been their spot since 1926 and I'm not sure it's been cleaned since. The food was ok, but not delicious. The ladies room was so filthy that when I opened the door - I turned around and walked right back out of it trying not to touch anything. Good coffee & good service, but the toast was stale, only 1 kind of jam, flavorless hash browns, flat omelette. My husband got 2 eggs - cooked correctly - but also flavorless. (They didn't use any seasoning on anything, not even salt & pepper.) He said the sausage was ok, as was the sausage gravy. I got a Philly cheesesteak omelette (ok but not great) and asked for my hash browns we'll-done. They overdid the outside but the potatoes were uncooked & flavorless in the middle. This place belongs to the locals, save yourself and let them have it.
