This restaurant had a very good selection of both hot and cold sandwiches. The service was excellent and the got special needs right the first time. My only complaint was that the fried pickles and french fries were over cooked. The sandwiches were excellent.

Come in for made from scratch baked goods, house made gelato, and the perfect cup of house roasted coffee. We feature beans from various locations across the world and roast them to a city roast in order to showcase the flavor of their region.

Cute little bakery in downtown Bryson City. They are open in the morning but do not have much for breakfast pastry options (no donuts or danishes) but they did have muffins and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls were melt in your mouth delish! Light, fluffy and just a hint of sweet; unlike the traditional dense, overly sweet frosted cinnamon rolls. They had the best tasting coffee around. The flavor and brew was just perfect.

Dropped in on a Sunday stroll. Fabulous delicious choices. We decided on ice creams and they were huge! I had a waffle cone with black cherry and English toffee...it was loaded probably 3 scoops for a single. The owner was fab with a few funnies...MoreThank you so much for visiting and leaving us a review! So glad to hear you loved our generous portions of ice cream. We hope to see you again.

Cute little place for a quaint town! Ice cream was very good with reasonable prices. The only 2 issues were that they don't have a bathroom for patrons and they don't take credit cards.

This is the gift shop , and train museum for the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. In the back corner is the coffee shop. You will know it's in there though, because the smell catches you as soon as you open the door. Very good specialty hot and iced coffees and lattes. Perfect for taking on a train ride , or just after you get off the train.

We always stay in Bryson City when we are heading to Harrahs Casino. The hotel we stay in doesn’t offer breakfast so we found this great restaurant. The food and coffee is always hot and the service is amazing. Love the omelettes and hash browns.Thank you for the wonderful comments and review. We appreciate that you took the time to post and that you continue to eat with us. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
