In the warmer months, the space really opens up with a garage style door , giving it an airy, relaxed feel. There's ample seating , especially ideal for smaller groups of two to four. Parking is abundant , which makes stopping by easy and low stress. The staff is friendly and helpful , always ready with solid recommendations if you're unsure what to try. It's also Apple Pay friendly , which is a nice convenience. During busy times, finding a clean table can take a little patience , so good space sharing habits definitely help. Overall, it's a great place to grab a quality drink and settle in for a bit . I recommend it .

This cosy, comfortable cafe is part-bakery, part-restaurant, and has a beautiful patio for warmer days. The front of house team was all female the day we went, and worked together as a powerhouse to get through the busy lunchtime rush. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar area, so we were able to watch the kitchen at work. The team all seemed so organized and efficient - like watching masters at work! Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations. We later learned that Mother supplies bread to other restaurants in the area - no surprise, it was fantastic. Will be returning every time we're in the area.

Apple Maps directions are a little confusing, they are in a medical park and location doesn't look like a restaurant should be there.

Today we tried the classic biscuit sandwich - cat head biscuit with an egg and cheese. It was phenomenal- also very big! For a side we choose the cheesy grits. They were also very tasty. They offer several homemade jams and butters to top off your biscuits- which is a nice added bonus. The price was moderate and the staff welcoming. Today there wasn't a line- but sometimes there is a wait. The ambiance is casual some tables inside and out.

I had a lovely afternoon tea at The Book & Bee last year (2025), so I would give this place four to…read morefive stars for that experience alone. I tried to go back this year, and am so appalled by the customer service (or lack thereof) that I will now give it 0 stars, so settled for two since I can't do two and a half. Yes, the food and ambiance were wonderful in 2025. I tried to book another afternoon tea party and called a month and a half in advance. This was to celebrate multiple birthdays with a group of busy moms so wanted to get it on the calendar. No one called me back despite the voicemail saying that we would hear back "promptly." I left two more messages in a span of two, three weeks and still nothing. I even emailed, no response. Finally, a friend stopped by in person and was told that the cafe would be short staffed the weekend we wanted the reservation for so the manager needs to see if there are enough people working before confirming. Okay....but why wouldn't you call back to tell me that? Our requested reservation is tomorrow and I still have not heard back from anyone. This is abysmal customer service. As mentioned, food was good but not good enough to treat potential customers like this. Hard pass from now on and will not go back or recommend. *Editing to respond to Victoria -- those were the dates I called and left voicemails. Perhaps there was a phone issue on your end, but I did not even get a missed call. My friend who stopped by in person spoke to a manager. She had to go by twice due to the manager not being available the first time. I also did not get an email response.

The key lime pie flavor is great - I think it's even better than an actual key lime pie. I've only been visiting Montreat for a few years, so I never experienced the "previous" versions of "The Huck." I love the views and the seating options in the current cafe. The service can be slightly delayed at the lunchtime rush, but they are very good at keeping up with the rush. And our food was always very fresh.

It was quite busy when I arrived but service was still top tier and our food/drinks arrived quickly. My husband ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich, while I decided on their quiche of the day.

The first thing I saw in front of this business was a Puppy Pit stop bowl of water, and I was instantly glad we stopped. What a small yet immensely thoughtful gesture! Now, on to the drinks! My husband ordered a mint frappee and I ordered an iced coffee with cream and toffee syrup. The owner and employee were so friendly and we had great conversation for about 10 minutes. The drinks were both beautiful and delicious. The river runs right behind the coffee shop and we walked down to enjoy the view with our coffee. It was a great experience.

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