Same goes for their breakfast sandwiches. I really enjoyed the sausage, egg, and cheddar croissant. We didn't have to wait very long either time we were there. It seemed that they weren't exceptionally busy around 8-9am during the week.

We were working in Highlands, and decided to get a coffee at Calders…read more They have a seating area in the back, but everyone seemed to prefer crowding into the front area. And there was a crowd when we arrived at around 11:30. We were able to get our order in fairly quickly, and waited near the pickup area, where they also have a good setup for adding sweeteners, etc. My only issue -- and it's a big one -- is that the cream I asked for was put into my espresso Cold. That took the temperature of the coffee down to tepid. Not good on a cold day when you're craving Hot Coffee.

We always have to try a donut place out everywhere we go. Fortunately, there was only 1 donut place…read morehere in Cashiers, so we didn't have to choose. Sugar Cloud has a very attractive store front and the interior matches that. I love all the things they have displayed in the store with coffee and candy and other stuff for sale. The display of cupcake and brownies were very tempting, but I was focused on the donuts. The best pricing would be to get half a dozen or a dozen (buy 5 get 1 free). We only ended up getting 3. The donuts are large in size and they make their own dough daily. First one we tried was the filled chocolate buttercream. It was truly FILLED with chocolate buttercream. Every single bite had chocolate buttercream. It was definitely fresh and delicious. The Samoa and maple bacon did not disappoint either. Although they were good, I felt the pricing was a bit steep and they weren't he best donuts I've ever had. But it was worth the stop and the calories!

They were totally unenjoyable, and after ensuring it was all of the donuts - not just a single bad one - we ended up throwing them all away. unfortunately, we aren't local, so this is my first and last impression, and it was not possible to return and give this feedback in person. the people who worked there were very nice, the shop was clean and it's a very cute location.

Friendly and fast service, a variety of seating across several rooms of a large, older converted house, and good vibes all around. If you find yourself within driving distance of this place and you're in the market for exceptional espresso drinks, fresh and varied baked goods and a relaxing atmosphere, do yourself a favor and make your way to this spot. It's worth going a little out of the way for. Don't waste your time looking for a drive thru to get your caffeine. Come here to where they have the good stuff. You'll be glad you did. Plenty of parking, plenty of coffee/espresso drink options, professional baristas, and a solid selection of both sweet and savory munchies. What else do you even need? 5 stars all around.

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.

One of our favorites is the Cheese Danish but feel it still needs some adjustments...it is a lot of dough. The filling is delish.
