I had a raspberry jelly doughnut, and my husband had a huge croissant that he and the woman who waited on us agreed, croissants as good as they are in Italy! and that's big praise. Coffee was delicious and hot and if you're a tea drinker, they offer Harney & son and teabags delicious. If we come back that this way, that'll definitely be our breakfast stop.

Bristol, Va. This bakery was our go to place for breakfast…read moreduring our week in Bristol. At first I was skeptical because of the long line that didn't seem to be moving. As it turns out there are a couple of ladies who really know how to run the show here. The line does move along efficiently and the lead lady communicates with the staff quite efficiently. There is also another lady who is a wizard of the espresso machine, it is a good thing they have her. On our first day there she came in late and this other lady took FOREVER to make our lattes, which turned out weak and milky. On follow up visits the wizard swiftly prepared our caffeinated beverages with great skill. The bean they use here has a good flavor but the espresso lacks boldness. The end product is just not rich enough, but it will do. The quiches are excellent, we always went with bacon Swiss or Loraine. They are a good size with a nice flakey crust, The granola yogurt parfaits are pretty good, the granola has a nice crunch to it. The yogurt was a bit sweet, it may be Chobani, but it went very well with the extra cup of berries you can purchase on the side. These berries by the way were fresh and beautiful. All the cookies we tried were great. They make a perfect affogato here, very addicting. I'm not sure if it's on the menu, but ask and you shall receive. The ice cream here is of a great quality, very creamy. The lemon berry tarts are way too sweet, they missed the boat on this one. I could not eat more than half of one. They did give us 15% off on the tarts because they were a couple days old. The candied pecans look good but the nuts are a bit rancid. All that sugar can't hide that.

I'd definitely come again if I was in the area. They're open late - and still bustling - and there's a decent amount of seating. Nice night ambiance. Prices are high but worth.

I stopped by Roots in Johnson City and tried the rice noodles with egg rolls and pork for takeout…read morewhen they were about to close. The noodles were cooked perfectly--soft but not mushy--and the pork was flavorful and tender. Everything had a really nice balance of savory and fresh flavors. The egg rolls were crispy on the outside with a tasty filling that paired really well with the noodles. I wish there was more meat in the dish. I love the side of sauce that came with it. The atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were friendly.

The BEST bakery I have been to in a very long time. We started out sharing a ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese was baked into the croissant. Light, flaky, and very delicious. I am surprised my husband let me have more than one bite. We ordered the quiche of the day and the one available every day. The ham and cheese was the quiche of the day. It was light, creamy, and very rich. The other quiche had spinach, feta, and tomatoes. It was equally delicious. Go and check them out. You will not be sorry. Go now.

I was looking for some local cafes and restaurants to check out near me and this place popped up and it did not disappoint. The service was solid as well. I got the Oatmeal Cream Pie and Pumpkin Crisp. The Oatmeal Cream Pie seems to be a fan favorite and it was definitely my favorite as well. It tastes so good and it is huge! The cream in the middle is heavenly. The Pumpkin Crisp was also tasty. I enjoyed the frosting (I think they use buttercream or something so it is sweet but not overly sweet) and the walnuts at the bottom added a nice texture. I feel like the pastries were reasonably priced, at least compared to the larger cities I used to live in. I definitely want to come back and try their other pastries and even their drinks because there are a lot of them. I think their weekly menu also changes too. I would probably rate it a 4.5/5 stars if I could. But overall this is a cute stop for some yummy sweet treats!

I love hot chocolate and was excited to order one, but for $8, I was honestly shocked by the…read moreportion size. The cup was TINY -- not even what I would consider a normal child-size serving. It felt much more like a small tasting or shot-size cup. I don't mind paying a premium for something special, but there needs to be some reasonable relationship between the price and what you're actually receiving. At $8 each, I expected an actual cup of hot chocolate, not a few sips. It unfortunately came across as unnecessarily stingy, especially for something as simple and comforting as hot chocolate. A more generous serving -- or at the very least making the unusually small size clear before ordering -- would make a huge difference. The hot chocolate itself may is truly lovely, but at this portion and price, I wouldn't order it again. Bummer.

When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!
