When we walked in, we could immediately smell the buttery croissants being baked. Since we just had breakfast, we just wanted a Cortado. The staff member who took our order was very friendly, and there wasn't a wait for our coffee. The best thing was that the Cortado was delicious! It was just $3.50 plus tax--a good value. We'll definitely be back. And next time, we'll try a chocolate or almond croissant!

A great French bakery right on Main St. in downtown Blowing Rock. They have everything from…read morepastries and savory items, to breads, cookies and coffee. It's tucked into a great courtyard off of Main St. with plenty of outdoor seating, including umbrellas and shade on warmer days. We went with a sweet almond croissant and 2 different types of savory quiches, a bacon cheese and a broccoli cheese. Everything had fantastic flavors. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because the warmed up items were still a tad bit cold inside. This is the second time we've been here, and had a similar experience the first round. With proper heating time, these would have been top notch and 5 star all around. We'll be back for more bakery goodness for sure. We'll politely ask that the items get heated through next time just in case.

We walked over and we were so glad we did! By PB&J Iced Latte was so good! The cold foam on top was so yummy and the drink really did taste like a PB&J. The Iced Chai was also delish! It was spicy and not overly sweet. We stopped by before we left town the next day - for one more PB&J Latte, another Chai as well as the Blackberry Lemonade and a few baked treats for the road. The Blackberry Lemonade was a fun drink - icey and refreshing! (It was pretty sweet, but also tart - really good) The staff were SO welcoming (especially the sweetest baby ever at the register ) Everyone behind the counter was smiling and actively working which is why our drinks were ready fairly quickly both days despite the crowd. The shop had fun little gifts and stickers which tempted us while we waited. We were happy to see so many Gluten Free treat options - they were all individually wrapped which made them even safer for our son with celiac. This is a great place - we will definitely stop in next time we are in the area!

We ended up just ordering coffee, and although the line moved pretty quickly, it took quite awhile to get our drinks, and one came out way later than the other. We sat in chair in the back and it was pretty comfortable. On a quieter day, I think you could sit and check emails here or chat with a friend. We had hoped to order food as well, but they were out of a lot of items and warned that egg bites would take 15+ mins to make, so we passed on that. Overall, I'd give it another chance, as the coffee was enjoyable. Felt like they were caught a little off guard that day.

We also tried the chicken and gravy which was basically a chicken pot pie, and lastly the King of the Mountain, which had beef, bacon, onions, carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, herbs and gravy. They each came with a little side cup of gravy

It took us 45 minutes to find a parking spot. I arrived at 1 in the afternoon with 2 hangry teenagers. One restaurant claimed a 1.5 hour wait and another 2 hours! Luckily the girls had spied some vintage clothing outside of a little Cafe. So back down the street we trudged. What a gem!! No crowd, our turkey and veggie burgers were cooked to our liking in minutes. Bonus-- each girl scored a lovely vintage piece of clothing that had them grinning from ear to ear. Beware, this is neither fancy nor anything close to gourmet. But in a pinch, it suited us wonderfully. You could NOT meet any nicer folks than Dean and Shanaat! Hugs all around when we left.
