    Best donuts in town! Grandkids love them. Get them every time they come to visit. Soft, sugary goodness.

    Absolutely delicious donuts and the ham, egg and cheese sandwich on the croissant was amazing. Good coffee and hot cider. Homemade sausage gravy and biscuits as well. Friendly owners. They do provide a military discount which is much appreciated.

    Hungry Man Sandwich on cinnamon roll with bacon and sausage, double egg and double cheese.

    This is a nice little nugget stashed away in a small town of Franklin NC at the end of town. Stopped in one late morning and picked up a maple bacon donut and was immediately confident I would return for a second visit during our vacation I the Smokies. Second visit my wife and I got there earlier and picked up a few items, apple fritter, maple bacon of course, cream cheese cinnamon roll, pumpkin cheese cake and a breakfast bagel and a bacon egg and cheese on a croissant donut. Enjoyed everything there in the quaint little sitting they have. I will say I've had better apple fritters where the apples are baked in but it was still delicious. The owner informed me of a hungry man sandwich that a re-occurring patron gets. Cinnamon roll with double egg meat and cheese. I'm totally and without doubt revisiting to get that b/c I love super special items that local restaurants come up with. Overall it was an awesome experience and the staff was super nice as you would expect from the small southern area like Franklin. Follow up visit 9/5/2025 Came back on Friday for the highly recommended hungry man sandwich. I ordered this on a cinnamon roll with double meat (bacon and sausage), double egg and double cheese. It's a pretty sizable sandwich. The sweet and savory combo is great and my kryptonite. It was all I needed for breakfast along with an Americano. Pricing for this sandwich is ridiculous at $7.99 and may have an uncharge for the cinnamon roll, but I wouldn't have cared. But pretty sure it was only $7.99. My wife got the sausage and gravy biscuits we heard another patron from the previous day rave about. She enjoyed them and said they were exactly how sausage and gravy should be. She likes it with lots of pepper but she forgot, but regardless loved this over a previous experience at another restaurant. While there they were rotating customers in consistently which is always a good sign. Overall, excellent place to get your donuts, sugary fix in the morning or a savory plate. Great value for the price. The location is easily accessible. The staff is 100%. Recognizing and acknowledging previous customers, even those that aren't local, is a big "CHECK Mark" in the customer service category. Thanks for the great experience. Always shop local and support your local businesses. They are generally better in nearly every way.

    Quaint shop with good donuts. The apple fritter needed more apple and more cinnamon, hence the one star taken off.

    This is below the register

    Don't walk, Run to this amazing place!! The staff is amazing, establishment is super clean, so many choices!! Coffee is hot, fresh and delicious!! My Boston Cream donut had the perfect texture and was enrobed in chocolate frosting.. I nearly squealed with joy!! Hubby had glazed but that's his fave-- and he said they were perfect!! Go get you some donuts !!

    Donuts!

    I tend to read the word "chophouse" as "expensive" but this one is reasonably priced and the food…read morewas excellent. Having said that, I didn't order a steak after the banana nut chicken caught my eye. This fried chicken breast in a banana nut glaze was delicious and unique. This dish is worth a visit in itself. There was also a good deal in the special menu for two with a selection of entrees for $15 each. Portions were large and everyone enjoyed their selection. Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance inside the old, Main Street building screams elegance.

    My husband and I decided to give this place another try for brunch today. We had been another time…read morefor lunch and the food was ok but service was extremely slow. We were the first people to be seated as the doors opened at 11. We waited once again for awhile before our server approached our table. We each ordered the All American breakfast. I ordered my eggs fried hard and the waitress seemed confused by that. I explained so they were just not runny. I also asked for an english muffin instead of biscuit. She had to go back to check and see if that was ok? She came back and said it would be a $1 upcharge and I said fine. My husband ordered his with eggs over medium, ham and biscuit was fine. We did not see our waitress again for refills or anything. 30 minutes later and after seeing other people's food come out(we were first ones in the restaurant) this meal came out. Eggs were burnt on other side, hashbrowns cold, bacon was premade and cold and my husband got bacon not ham. There was no chance I was eating what came out. 30 minutes and food cold and missing items. My husband asked for manager and explained we were not eating this food and that we really tried to give them a second chance. Will not be returning.

    Great little cafe to get healthy meals. They were out of the cinnamon rolls by the time we rolled…read morein- 11am ish. We had a lovely brunch though. 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.
