Thank goodness they are finally in Franklin. I used to shop there years ago in the Midwest and…read moreloved their fresh produce, great prices and availability of items to help me budget my grocery bill. The same stands true for this facility. They even had a lot of very nice selections of vegan friendly convenience foods. I did purchase the non dairy whipped cream, 2 different vegan ready burgers and a bag of vegan meatballs. I would like to see a brand of non dairy yogurt as I didn't see any, but maybe there was. The lines were going fairly smoothly and I had all my groceries separated already in their reusable grocery bags ( which as a grand opening gift, you receive 2). The cashier was very apprehensive that I had just placed the bags full on the conveyor belt instead of dumping all the items. I always have an extra bag empty and ready to begin the bagging process on the end but she was anxious. I thought it went well and she did a good job but she asked me to next time take all the items out and place them on the conveyor belt! Honestly, I am hoping the store video will show her how smoothly that went because at a bag it yourself grocery and even a regular grocery store it goes so much smoother. That's my only concern. Great store, good prices and good service. Maybe add 2-3 lanes of checkers for those of us who bulk shop and live a distance away. As I am thinking about the shopping cart, you need a quarter to activate it. And there are many self checkouts as opposed to the one checker. Guessing they really would prefer small amounts to be purchased and not large orders.

The bagels were very different from any we have had before, had a very home baked bread taste. The sweet potato bowl was very flavorful and hit just the right note for lunch. We did get a couple baked goods to go as well. The coffee was pretty good, they have tons of flavors to choose from and make some signature drinks too. The staff is very friendly and will give excellent recommendation. The decor is rustic cute. Worth a visit!!!

During our Fourth of July trip to Bryson City, we always try to support local coffee shops instead…read moreof the big chains, so we stopped into La Dolce Vita Bakery for breakfast and coffee. The shop itself is adorable, clean, and had a steady flow of customers. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I ordered an iced dirty chai latte, which is my go-to whenever I'm trying a new coffee shop because it's a pretty reliable way to compare places. It was good, and exactly what I was hoping for. I also tried the cinnamon roll. It was tasty, but pretty standard. Looking back, I think I'd try one of their other bakery items next time. My friend ordered one of their homemade biscuits. It took quite a while to come out--around 15 to 20 minutes--and several other customers were served before we received it. It honestly felt like the biscuit may have been forgotten, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had a pleasant experience. Nothing was overpriced, the staff was kind, and it's the type of local place I always encourage travelers to support. While there are a couple of other coffee shops in Bryson City I'd probably try before returning, I still think La Dolce Vita Bakery is worth a visit so you can form your own opinion. Every café has busy days, and one experience doesn't define a business. If you're looking for a cozy local spot for coffee and a pastry while exploring downtown Bryson City, it's definitely worth stopping in.

We visited Darnell's Farm on June 23, 2026, and it easily earned 5 stars from our family!…read more From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. Families were enjoying the farm, kids were playing, and there were several swings overlooking the river that made for a beautiful place to sit and unwind. The farm offers a great variety of fresh produce, and the strawberry picking was a huge hit with our kids. Their favorite part was being able to snack on strawberries while picking them--an experience they won't forget! We also purchased some boiled peanuts, which were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But the real star of the visit was the ice cream. It was hands-down the best part of our day and so good that we're already planning to stop by again before heading back home. Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, great products, and fun for the whole family. We highly recommend Darnell's Farm to anyone visiting the area. 100% recommended!

I got it hot, because of the cool mornings here in the valley. It paired great with the Orange cranberry Scone! Of course I got it warmed! It was so moist and yummy, no butter needed there! I talked to the owners daughter and she told me the bakers arrive at 3:00-4:00 am so everything is fresh each day! My friend got a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, cheese on a fresh made bagel! There was a chipotle aioli on the sandwich that made it over the top! I had to have a bite, just to tell everyone about it! Shhh! I might have snuck an extra bite! So SO YUMMY! The decor in the shop is so coffee chic.. loved it! Super comfy chairs and tables if you need to work. Outside plenty of tables and comfy arm chairs. They even have a fire pit for those chilly mountain days! Don't want to leave the kids out? No worries! They have a play ground! They even have a little stage area...
