    One thing about me a LOVE a local coffee shop! White Moon is a terrific local spot in Sylva and every time I am in town I try to stop in. This visit I was able to spend some time there and catch up on some reading while sipping my cappuccino and eating a fantastic breakfast sandwich. What stuck out to me the most was the staff they are incredibly friendly, helpful and patient. The woman working the cash register greeted everyone that came in differently like it was a pleasure getting to meet each person. There were some people walking around bussing tables and pointing out places to sit to anyone that was looking for a spot. It was a bit busy so I did not read as long as I would have liked to but if I'm being honest I could have read there all day, I loved the vibe. Also special note of thanks to White Moon: back in late September when Hurricane Helene hit they, like many businesses, had to close but they posted their WiFi and password so people that did not have cell service or internet could connect with loved ones.... that was next level kindness!

    A good biscuit is a thing to behold! And White Moon's got 'em! Great food, great coffee in pottery mugs.

    Best turkey sandwich I've ever had in my life. It's called their basic turkey sandwich, but it is anything but "basic." More like perfect. Insanely flavorful. Service was great, and quick, even though they seemed busy. Great vibes there.

    This place is such a gem in a tiny town! The food was delicious and gluten free. The service was great. All the young women working were kind, knowledgeable and very helpful. The vibe is so fun, relaxing and full of plants. Just a chill place to be with great drinks and food.

    Great local cafe' with coffee options, smoothies, scones, muffins, sandwiches, and more. You order at the counter where you can help complete a puzzle (or not). They give you a number and call your name when your order is ready. We grabbed a game of Connect Four to play and everything we ordered was delicious. If we are ever driving through the town of Sylva again, we will now purposefully stop at White Moon.

    Really good coffees with many options. super cozy inside with beautiful decorations and lighting. The servers are always very friendly.

    Iced matcha with honey and lavender
    Madison T.

    Absolutely love the vibes of this coffee shop, and late night bar. It got busy quickly but the barista kept it under control (I was impressed!) I ordered the lox & schmear bagel and a delicious iced matcha with honey and lavender. There is plenty of seating with very cool decor and games/puzzles. Will definitely have to come back with friends for a hangout.

    Iced Chai latte and Here Comes The Sun smoothie

    The here comes the sun smoothie was fresh and good, but the iced chai latte tastes like spiced milk with no tea :/

They also offer pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're dining with your furry friend. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Grit Bowl Special, Chicken & Waffles, Brioche French Toast, and fresh fruit. The chicken tasted just like my grandma's recipe. It was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their spicy hot honey. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee bar was another highlight! They offer so many specialty drink options, including hot chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. And don't skip the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it was some of the best we've ever had! What really made this place stand out for our family was how kid-friendly it is. The kids got to draw pictures while we ate, and afterward they were able to hang their artwork in the hallway for everyone to see. They absolutely loved it! There's also a large lounge area in the back with cozy seating and games like Shut the Box and chess, making it a great place to relax while waiting for a table or after your meal. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, outstanding service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Lucy in the Rye is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend it!

    This was not what I was expecting -- in the best way possible. I came here with a friend who had…read morevisited the previous location before they moved, and I can confidently say this experience delivered exactly what I needed. First, let's address the only downside: my burger was slightly overcooked. The server was very kind and attentive, but by the time she came back around to check on us, it felt a little late to send it back. I decided to remove the meat and enjoy the rest of the burger -- and surprisingly, it was still very good. My only hope for next time is that everything comes out cooked exactly as intended. Now for the positives -- because there are plenty. The wait time was excellent. We didn't have to wait for a table, and the food came out in a timely manner. That level of efficiency definitely adds to the overall experience. This restaurant is clearly operating at a high level. The location is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, and everything feels well-managed. You can tell there's pride behind what they're doing. We ordered The Goat Burger with Crispy Buttered Taters and started with the Fried Deviled Eggs. The fried deviled eggs were a standout. They had a salty base with a slight kick of heat, and the pickled onions brought in a sweet, tangy balance that elevated the dish. The salty-sweet combination worked beautifully together. A strong appetizer choice. As for The Goat Burger -- aside from being slightly overcooked -- the flavor was impressive. The patty was well seasoned, and the fried goat cheese paired with bacon created a rich, savory profile that complemented the crispy buttered taters perfectly. Everything worked cohesively on the plate. Even after removing the meat, the toppings and structure still delivered strong flavor. The food was absolutely worth the money. I left feeling full and satisfied without feeling overly heavy, which is always a plus. This is a place I will go back to again and again. I would confidently recommend it to others -- great location, good food, good people, and solid service. They also offer wine and beer for those who want to enjoy a drink with their meal. Overall, a very strong experience. I'm looking forward to coming back -- and next time, I'm hoping everything comes out cooked perfectly.

The layout of the restaurant is very homey with the Green velvet love seat by the door in the waiting area. It seems very casual with mostly family's and a few couples at the bar. When we arrived there was a short wait so we walked out to admire the Jackson County Courthouse on the hill across the street. After our brief walk our table was ready. We had my wife, son 2 daughters and the oldest one's boyfriend who goes to WCU. We started with the fried deviled egg and cheesy prosciutto croquettes for an appetizer. Big fan of the tomato jam and croquettes so much that I saved the remaining portion for my Gouda grits. They have a wide variety on the menu so everyone found a meal they would enjoy. My wife got the motherclucker chicken sammich with a salad, my youngest daughter got pasta Alfredo, my son got the Rueben, I ordered the fish tacos with Gouda grits and Karlea and Tristan got a basic burger and fries. Other than being messy, my fish tacos were tasty with the slaw and blueberry composite. My wife liked her chicken sammich even though it was at the edge of her threshold for spicy. Brody enjoyed his Rueben but the seasoned veggies were a bit bland. Forager seems like a Sylva staple that will stay on my shortlist. Cheers!
