We finally made it... and honestly, I think we deserve a medal…read more After multiple failed missions to visit this cinnamon bun place (closed... closed again... and somehow still closed ), we decided to try one more time as a birthday surprise for our daughter. Let me just say--the wait was so worth it, it almost feels like part of the experience now. Like a rite of passage. If you get in on your first try, are you even doing it right? From the moment we walked in, it was clear this wasn't just about cinnamon buns--it was an event. And then there's Wendy, the owner, who might actually be part pastry chef, part magician, part birthday fairy. She went out of her way to make our daughter feel special, and you could tell she genuinely loves what she does (and is really, really good at it). Now let's talk about the food... WOW. These are not your average cinnamon rolls. These are the kind that make you go silent mid-bite because your brain needs a second to process what just happened. Creative, over-the-top in the best way, and absolutely delicious. We tried a few different ones, and every single one felt like it was competing for "favorite child" status. By the end, we were full, happy, slightly covered in icing, and already talking about when we'd come back (and how many times we might have to try before catching them open again). 10/10 would stalk their hours and show up again. Totally worth it.

The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.

I have not been to the home location for Four sisters, but I have tried some of the croissants and…read moretheir variations a few times around the Asheville area. While some of their pastries look decent, there is something about their Viennoiserie (laminated dough) products that they just seem to not understand. Every one of their croissants I've tried were underproved, which causes an undesirable internal texture that is dense and not open and light like croissants are supposed to be. They are also very "bread like", which shows that they are losing control of the temperature of the dough and butter during the lamination process. This causes the butter to melt into the dough, rather than keeping the intended layers. This is what causes the crumb of the croissant to be more bread like, rather than the light honeycomb structure you find in a well-crafted croissant. Their other products, assorted buns, cinnamon rolls, etc., look decent, but I haven't tried much of those as they aren't really what I enjoy. I hope at some point they can dial in their understanding of the laminated dough process as it would only elevate and improve what they offer. However, they seem to be busy, so they may be fine with delivering a lower quality product in that department. I also understand that my perspective may be different than the average customer as I'm a professional pastry chef and consultant. I'm not sharing this review to be negative, but to give an honest opinion that may spark this establishment to look deeper into their process and find ways to offer even more to their customers.

In addition to ice cream they also offer chocolate and fudge by the piece or you can choose from prepackaged chocolate items as well. If you are craving something sweet, Kilwins is a great stop!

Decaf latte texturally was great the bean flavor wasn't my vibe. On the day, we were leaving town we wanted to get a box of goodies for our sweet family members who had taken care of one of our pups so that we could get away for the weekend. The team was so marvelous in helping us put together this bountiful box of goodies. Which our family members immediately opened and enjoyed nibbles of all of the different flavors and items. We originally found them when one of our family members was having health challenges and could not have dairy or gluten. They have such a wonderfully inclusive assortment of treats for everyone in the family. Including vegan. Enjoyed people watching sitting on the patio and the dog scene is awesome. Really lovely chill atmosphere with delightful team. They do have restrooms for customers. You're able to tap and pay in addition to cash and traditional credit card purchase. Always a delight to visit.

I was impressed with the variety of flavors and there were ample vegan options. Indeed, my banana split contained one sorbet, one non-dairy cream, and one conventional dairy ice cream. For the price, it was a monstrously sized dessert in today's economy, and I struggled to find room for any more meals thereafter. The peach sorbet hit a strong flavor note, and the non-dairy chocolate was smooth, but I could still tell the difference in complexity of flavor upon reaching the mint chip ice cream at the end. Devouring various toppings, I was left more than satisfied. The shop had only one person working and I was lucky to get in on the early end of a rush.
