They have a great deal on the fudge too and we got so many different flavors to try. Definitely recommend the rocky road, sea salt caramel, and even their plain chocolate was delicious.

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.

There's not a lot of "fudge" tourist places that actually have good fudge. However this place (JB…read moreMountain Gift Shop/The Chocolate Box) had pretty good fudge. The peanut butter was good & the chocolate walnut was good as well. Some of the gifts were way too high, so we stick with a key chain & magnet. :) The young girl that waited on us let us try a few samples first. She wasn't overly friendly, but it was close to closing & she'd probably was ready to get out of there. Over all, nice place. We didn't try the ice cream....maybe next time.

I'm honestly shocked this place doesn't have higher reviews..The Sweet Onion is THAT good…read more I grew up in Waynesville, North Carolina and visited this summer for an anniversary trip, and this restaurant completely blew both my partner's and my expectations out of the water. We started with the okra (incredible) and a cucumber salad, and everything tasted SO fresh and local. For our entrées, we ordered the steak and the salmon pasta BOTH were absolutely phenomenal. There were so many things we wanted to try on the menu, and our server made the experience even better. They were honest, knowledgeable, and took the time to break down each dish, even down to the smallest ingredients, which really helped us decide. The vibe at The Sweet Onion is intimate and personal without feeling cramped or crowded. It's that perfect balance of casual and upscale! You could easily dress up for a date night or come in more relaxed for drinks and dinner. On top of that, the prices were extremely good for the quality of food and the level of service. I would 100% recommend this spot to both locals and visitors!!! I genuinely think about this place at least once a week, and if I still lived locally, I'd be dining here a few times a month without hesitation.
