This is a sweet little bakery and cafe on the square of the historic town of Pendleton. I have been…read morehere several times and have enjoyed myself each time. One side has a bakery where you can watch the delicious goodies being made. The other side is a small cafe. Although there is limited seating I have never had to wait for a table. I haven't gone on the weekend (pretty sure the Sunday morning brunch would be a different story). A friend and I met for lunch at 1:00 pm on a Wednesday. My friend had the Café Club with the pasta salad and a sweet tea. I had the Quiche of the Day, the pasta salad and a hot cup of Clemson Sunrise (Vanilla, Caramel & White Mocha). The pasta salad wasn't my favorite-next time I'll give the potato salad a try. The service and food were very good. The café closed at 2:00 pm. Since we were still visiting, my friend and I grabbed our drinks and walked a few steps to the center of the lovely town square and found a swing to continue our conversation...but that's for another review. The Village Bakery & Café is worth a visit whether it's to grab something from the bakery and enjoy a cup of coffee or to meet a friend for breakfast or lunch. Lovely outing.

The team allowed us to do a tasting to choose our flavors, which was the perfect set up. It was a hard choice but we decided on the peaches and cream and pumpkin spice for our cake. I shared my inspo picture of a very intricate cake (which was literally AI), but Cardamom replicated it and made it an even more beautiful, real cake. I could not be happier with our cake. It represents my husband and me; our last name is Wren so there are beautiful wren birds represented on our cake. I highly recommend Cardamom Bakeshop to anyone and everyone!!

The hubby wanted to treat me to something sweet. He found this bakery online so we tried it out. We…read moregot a Ginger Molasses Cookie, an Almond Cardamom Cookie, a Salted Caramel French Macaron and a Cheesecake topped with cherries. The hubby raved about the ginger molasses cookie. He started eating it as soon as we got in the car so that's why I only have a pic of part of the cookie. He saved the cheesecake for dessert that evening. He said it was delicious. I had half of the macaron this morning. I probably should have eaten it right away because it was a little dry. Also, I'm comparing it to actual French macarons I ate it Paris. It didn't measure up to the real thing. It is a quaint shop with a couple of tables if you want to eat there. There is a nice variety of cakes, cupcakes, cake pops, chocolates, desserts and cookies. Great place to go if you are creating a Dessert Charcuterie Board. Since the hubby is the one with the sweet tooth I'm basing my scoring on his comments.

You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

It's on such a cute little main street area, everything is so charming. I had the best glazed doughnut I've ever had in my entire life, and trust me I've eaten a lot of them. Fluffy, delicious, not too sweet. We also had an apple fritter, which was outstanding. If you ever come here and you're in the mood for a cookie, I highly recommend the black-and-white cookie, very old school, soft, tons of frosting.

For jarring my memory and giving me memories to fix not writing a great review for this place. We traveled to Brevard back in 2022 for one of our annual leaf viewing tours. Fun fact about Brevard! There are white squirrels everywhere. There are also regular brown squirrels too. My wife told me about this before we got here but it's strange, there are so many of them. One of the oddest things I find is that there are no mixed squirrels. Like kinda brown, or kinda white, it's either one or the other. They hang together, surely they get it on. What the hell is going on here?!?!? Where did they come from? Why haven't they spread to other areas?? Anyway.... About this bakery. We stopped by here a few times for meals and snacks. Most of it was just pretty good and nothing to really write home (lol) about. I did not know this at the time and did not truly savor the moment well enough. I had the absolute best pastry I have ever had in my life here. I often think back to it and when I see a similar looking pastry only to be let down when I try it. It was the scone to beat all other scones!!! So freaking good!! Orange Pistachio Coriander was the flavor and nothing will ever beat it I am afraid!! If you make it here, check out the white squirrels. There are even gift shops dedicated to them and I swear they have little signs all over town about them. Also.... Mantiques is right down the way. Great shopping!! '22 - I can't even remember, lol.

We've stopped in several times, usually early when it's quiet, and unfortunately the staff (with one exception) have been noticeably unfriendly--especially toward my kids. My boys are always polite and well-mannered, so it's frustrating to see them treated with impatience or attitude. There's just no excuse for adults to be dismissive or rude to children or any customers, especially in a place that serves families. That said, Matthew deserves recognition. He's always been welcoming, kind, and genuinely great with my boys. He sets the standard for what the customer experience should be. I hope management takes a closer look at how guests are being treated, because with better service, this place could easily be somewhere we'd visit regularly.
