Now this bakery knows how to make croissants! I'm just sorry I went so late in the day, and I missed out on many of their popular choices. I still got one of my favorite things... almond croissant. I bought my sister a cinnamon streusel filled one. They were very good. Not crispy on the outside, but layered nicely on the inside. The workers are friendly and told my now local sister that selections sell out even sooner in tourist season. I bought a small dog biscuit for my sister's dog, but she gave it away to the sweet pooch in the shop next door.

Good gracious. This place knows what they are doing! My friend took me to this adorable town while I was visiting her in Greer, SC. She said the croissants were worth the drive and she was right!! We ordered the walnut and cinnamon filled croissants they were glorious. She called ahead that morning and preordered 6 of them (two for each of the three of us), which was good because they were sold out when we got there! The croissants were fantastic, and I also tried the brownie, vanilla chocolate chip brioche, and cheddar jalapeño scone. All fantastic, great flavor and texture. The iced coffee was good too! I will definitely return for those melty, gooey, life altering walnut cinnamon croissants one day!! She also got a loaf of the SUNFLOWER OAT BREAD and let me tell you, I think that was the best slice of toast the next day that I've ever had in my life. Every single thing was amazing.

This is a very nice local bakery and coffee shop. This is a great little stop off while wandering the downtown. The staff was very friendly and the bakery has a good selection. For the price you get a good portion! I love the relaxed vibe and intimate setting.

Walked into this place while street walking around Brevard. We had a bear claw and a blueberry muffin. Both were delicious . Coffee delicious. Would visit again.

Blueberry Danish

Wow - this is such an amazing bakery! I could spend my whole vacation here just eating the fabulous Danishes, croissants, scones, cinnamon rolls, breads and more! Plus delicious lattes and coffee drinks galore. If you're anywhere near, I highly recommend you stop in. I don't know if I can bear to leave!

Assorted sweet rolls

Across the board the best bakery with the best customer service and prices in the United States. I just wish I could get here by 7AM so I could get the best selection of baked goods. Their coffee and lattes put Starbucks to shame and they are half the price. If you want to treat yourself to a decadent pleasure this is a great place to stop by.

Here we go again!!! Another review spurred by a lovely Yelper liking my pictures. Thank you Rose…read moreD. 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.

I really wanted to like Blue Ridge Bakery because the atmosphere has potential, but the service has…read morebeen a consistent issue for us. 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.

Pisgah Bakehouse was a pleasant surprise. I was driving the Blue Ridge Parkway and heading to…read moreBrevard to get something to eat. Since Brevard is a small town, I wasn't expecting to find such a good bakery, but the baked goods looked delicious as soon as we walked in. In addition to the bakery items, they also have a dining room. Since it was between lunch and dinner, we were told to order at the counter, and the only things available were salads and pizza. We ordered a sausage pizza and a Caesar salad, which turned out to be the perfect-sized lunch. Both the pizza and salad were delicious. We sat in the otherwise empty dining room, eating lunch while I watched the bakers working in the back and kept eyeing all the baked goods. Before leaving, we picked up a few goodies for the road. Pisgah Bakehouse is definitely worth the stop, and I'm glad we found it.

Unfortunately this place tends to be a miss for me…read more My experience with service is consistently that they are unfriendly. When you pay $6 for a small pastry, it feels a little bad when they don't say "thank you" or "how can I help you" or "what would you like" ... more than once I've been here and had the experience that I'm bothering the employee just by being there. Bought a cardamom bun today and while I love cardamom this was still an overly strong flavor. Lovely texture, though. I had a specialty croissant a while back when I was in the area and left with it. It was uncooked in the middle so I called to let them know (thinking they would want to pull the remaining ones). Whoever I spoke with was appropriately apologetic and told me next time I was there to tell the clerk that so and so wanted me to have a replacement on the house. A few months later I was in the area again and was met with such hostility and skepticism when I mentioned the "freebie" that I wished I'd never bothered. As for the bakes? Everything really does look good. The lunch menu looks great although I've never had anything. The coffee is nice and strong. Prices are high, but that's everywhere.

I was visiting Waynesville area and wanted to go inside the shop that I heard a bit about. I found…read morethe location and went in today on my last day in that Waynesville area, and what a delightful cake and bakery shop! All the ladies that were working there today were very helpful, kind. and generally very nice in Customer Service! After a hard decision, I got one of their huge cinnamon buns with the original icing, and two of their homemade original cream horns. On my way to the checkout, I saw at a different type of bakery bread,"Blueberry Goat Cheese Sourdough "- never had seen this combination loaf before, so my curiosity said buy it and try it! After my ride home to Hendersonville, I decided to cut us a couple of slices and toast this bread. I must say that this is extraordinarily delicious and the quality of the bread is superb. I can't wait later to try a little bit of my other sweet treat findings. Anytime that I'm in the Waynesville area and that they are open, I will definitely go by and check some other items out in their cute bakery.

Employees were all nice and there were so many options and flavors of treats! Cheesecakes, cookies,…read moredanishes, horns, and more. The parking area is a bit small so tight parking but the treats have been tasty. The brownies were pretty good but were more like pan cake than a classic box fudge brownie. The shop itself was cute.
