In the search for a coffee shop, not much was open on a Saturday at 8am. Lucky for us we ran into…read moresome locals, who quickly directed us towards Old Europe Pastries. That's where everyone was at 8 am on Saturday morning. The cozy coffee shops with indoor and outdoor seating was conveniently located. We ordered a couple of coffees, some lattes, and picked up some croissants. Everything was great! The service was exceptional. The line was long, but the staff did a great job moving it along and taking orders. We did have to wait a bit for our order, but that was expected given the amount of people.

I went with my family today. I got the Redonkulous Reuben, my wife got the Cluck Madame, and my kids got Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Everything was freshly made, including the bread. The food exceeded expectations and was so delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. The service was just as good and Chef Holly is amazing at what she does. The restaurant is a nice spot and was a very clean inviting atmosphere. You have your choice to sit inside or on a porch type area. This visit was just as good as my last and I can't wait to return. If you are in the area I highly recommend you stop in and enjoy was this restaurant has to offer!

We bought a bag of crostini, a bag of spicy pretzel sticks, some herb and garlic goat cheese and not your mamas tuna salad to take back to the rental house. OMG the tuna salad was everything I was hoping for. It brought me back to the Mediterranean/Israel, but with southern charm. The crostini was perfect and the goat cheese excellent. If you are a garlic lover you will be able to kill a vampire by just breathing on them after eating this spread. The pretzel sticks have a nice little kick but are not too spicy. I hope we get to try more food here before our vacation is over. Their menu looks divine! They have fresh bagels and stuffed breads which I would love to try.

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!

They were SO kind and understanding, and quickly (well, with great care), made me a dulce de leche cappuccino instead, which was delish!
