The grounds are lovely and are shaded with large trees and have seating underneath them. There's also an outside patio where customers can enjoy their food. We opted for the seating inside and I had a delicious everything bagel with lox, cream cheese and capers. Dave had eggs, sausage and cheese on an everything bagel too. There was a continuous line of customers buying bakery stuff and getting coffee. The atmosphere is so homey and pleasant that it a pleasure to eat there.

I have not been to the home location for Four sisters, but I have tried some of the croissants and…read moretheir variations a few times around the Asheville area. While some of their pastries look decent, there is something about their Viennoiserie (laminated dough) products that they just seem to not understand. Every one of their croissants I've tried were underproved, which causes an undesirable internal texture that is dense and not open and light like croissants are supposed to be. They are also very "bread like", which shows that they are losing control of the temperature of the dough and butter during the lamination process. This causes the butter to melt into the dough, rather than keeping the intended layers. This is what causes the crumb of the croissant to be more bread like, rather than the light honeycomb structure you find in a well-crafted croissant. Their other products, assorted buns, cinnamon rolls, etc., look decent, but I haven't tried much of those as they aren't really what I enjoy. I hope at some point they can dial in their understanding of the laminated dough process as it would only elevate and improve what they offer. However, they seem to be busy, so they may be fine with delivering a lower quality product in that department. I also understand that my perspective may be different than the average customer as I'm a professional pastry chef and consultant. I'm not sharing this review to be negative, but to give an honest opinion that may spark this establishment to look deeper into their process and find ways to offer even more to their customers.

Bracken is one our favorite small mountain town bakeries! They have a delicious variety of…read morepastries, croissants, breads, scones, cookies, pies, and more! You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

I know you're thinking, "there's no way that tasted good" but it did! My sis has lots of food sensitivities that cause her auto-immune eczema to break out so we avoid all those allergens. My sister LOVED this cake! I wanted a special cake for her 30th since she hasn't eaten cake in 5 years! Christine from Baking Sweet Scents was up to the challenge and spent time with me listing ingredients so we were completely sure it was safe. I really appreciated the time and effort. Christine also deals with some allergens so she understands the difficulties. I selected the chocolate almond flour cake, double layered, semi-naked, with stevia instead of sugar, and macarons on top to be nestled into the specific flowers I wanted, gladiolus for August birthday month. The cost for this custom cake with all the specific ingredients was so reasonable. I will be ordering another smaller one for my grandmother's 80th who also avoids sugar and gluten. I see this trend becoming popular, thanks Christine!
