I've been coming to Qualla Java Cafe since probably 2016. I can honestly say after 10 years, I've never had a bad drink here. They have a bunch of drinks - all with pretty fun names. Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long. Sorry if my review isn't better - coffee shops are kind of hard for me to review because coffee doesn't really look good in picture form. Just drink it!

Stopped here after going through the Smokey Mountains. This place is super cute! They have a large…read moredrink menu from teas, coffees, to lemonades and smoothies. I've had their chai tea before and they were really good but I opted for an orange hibiscus lemonade. It wasn't too sweet and was very refreshing. They offer a variety of non-dairy milk alternatives too. There are some bakery items but I didn't see anything labeled gluten-free. They have restrooms available for customers in the back and many different seating areas. There is also a patio outside that overlooks a creek where you can sit as well.

PICK something else anything else because it is all delicious! So much so that they made a mistake and gave me the veggie quiche instead of the bacon cheddar I took a bite, knew it was wrong but kept eating because it was so good! We had the brunchable with bacon in a croissant, the bear claw with ham and cheese, both quiches, the cookies, the lemon blueberry croissant and the raspberry cheese danish!!! Worth the walk, worth the wait, the place is friendly, people are kind, no one rushes you, and the food is so yummy! I will absolutely be back again!

You're better off with protein from Noodle Bar or something, but the bagels are surprisingly good. And if you're not playing poker, then bagel away. Secret Tip: Only get fruit cup if you're there before noon. Otherwise, they're sitting there too long. This place is downstairs on the hotel side (opposed to casino side). You can sit by the river, which is nice and relaxing.

You can't use your Starbucks app/stars at this location, but you can pay with your Caesar's Reward points. We always stop here to pick up a coffee before we hit the road back home.

Wow what a wedding cake! We came to the area in the spring to do cake tastings with a few local…read morecaters. My family came along to offer their opinions and once we tasted the cake samples Brad prepared, we all agreed that his cakes were the best hands-down. They were light, moist, and they tasted like that were made with high quality, fresh ingredients. He was very generous with his samples and took plenty of time to talk with us. Pricing was very reasonsble too. Our wedding just took place on 10/15 and everyone raved about the cake and cupcakes. We couldn't decide between 2 flavors so decided on a spice cake with a praline custard filling surrounded by carrot cake cupcakes. The cake was delivered on time and set up just as requested. I wouldn't say that this would be the best place to get a very elaborately decorated cake but if you went a simple looking wedding cake that just plain tastes darn good, I would recommend Lil Harveys. (We also considered using them to cater our dinner as well and they had good selections at fair prices but we ended up having the reception at a restaurant.) ,

They unfortunately were out of croissants which was what we both wanted. So she offered to make our sanswiches on bread as a toasted sandwich. The eggs were fresh fried The bacon was microwave bacon and very little on sandwich so that was disappointing Hubbys ham sandwich had a lot more meat on it The sandwiches were simple and like you would make at home. I ordered a Carmel mochiatto and it had a weird taste about it and a burnt Carmel taste definitely would not order again Hubby ordered the cafe au lei there was nothing special about it and it wasn't traditional as they didn't use chicory coffee.

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.

Scone doesn't have a lot of sugar and taste off when it's cold. I asked the staff if they could…read moreheat it up and they told me their oven is only used in the morning. So I asked to exchange for a different item since it's pretty much inedible and they told me they couldn't do that or give me a refund. That's fine but I didn't feel that the staff cared at all to make the situation right so 1 star
