The BEST bakery I have been to in a very long time. We started out sharing a ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese was baked into the croissant. Light, flaky, and very delicious. I am surprised my husband let me have more than one bite. We ordered the quiche of the day and the one available every day. The ham and cheese was the quiche of the day. It was light, creamy, and very rich. The other quiche had spinach, feta, and tomatoes. It was equally delicious. Go and check them out. You will not be sorry. Go now.

I'm blanking on the name, but I really enjoyed their new watermelon coconut iced tea. My best friend got a butterfly pea iced tea. There is plenty of seating available. If you want more natural lighting you can sit at the front with chair and tables. If you want something more moody and intimate in the back they have lower tables and pillows for a more traditional tea experience. I highly recommend checking this spot out.

The menu changes seasonally with the cutest names for the drinks, and they have cold foam options as well as non-dairy options to choose from. The building is adorable and sits on the corner in Black Mountain's downtown area. Parking is easy and inside you can buy eco-friendly, refillable household goods. I get my toothpaste tablets from there and plan to try out their laundry detergent on my next trip. Highly suggest visiting if you're in the area!

A sign guides you to where you order, and it really opens up. Very pretty inside, looks like lots of seating outside as well as screened seating in the back. Parking is a bit weird but there are places right next to it you can get to. Feels like they need some easy music playing or something because it's "drop of a pen" quiet in here haha.

I avoided going in here for about a year because the exterior does not look inviting with the…read morewindows covered. I didn't realize they sold food here until I looked online so I thought I would give it a try. Especially since they are selling falafel and shawarma which is hard to find, and rarely any good in the United States. It's like trying to find decent Mexican food in Europe. I went in around 10am to order a falafel wrap and a drip coffee to go. The drip coffee was surprisingly good. Nice and dark. While I sat and waited i noticed many of the tables were dirty with crumbs, etc. I was the only person in there at the time so it isn't as if it were especially busy. I had finished my coffee by the time my order was ready so I went to the trash containers to throw away my cup. The containers are a lot like the tall trash containers you find in fast food places, with a flat surface on top for trays, etc. I noticed many people had left their paper cups on top of the containers which I thought was odd until I noticed both containers were overflowing with garbage. At 10 in the morning? Not a good sign. The falafel wrap was okay. The bread was good, the tzatziki was good with fresh tomatoes and cucumber. The falafel was mushy from a mix. So not great. Not real falafel. It doesn't make me want to try the chicken or lamb shawarma. Their inability to keep the customer facing areas clean makes me doubt the sanitation in the kitchen. So I doubt I'll be returning. It's unfortunate because a decent Middle Eastern restaurant could really do well in this neighborhood.

They have options for those who want to sit at a table and for those who want to sit on the floor. The tea selections are far and wide! The menu is huge! At first I was overwhelmed with the options, but the lady at the counter was nice and helpful with recommendations. We were bummed to have missed out on the lunch since the kitchen closes at 3pm, but that made us even more eager to come back at another time. Both dessert options we chose - the S'mores Tart and Black Sesame Ginger Cake - were delicious! I chose the masala tea with rooibos with oat milk and honey. I loved the way it was served, and even though I usually drink my tea straight, it was fun to experiment with the milk and honey. I will definitely be coming back many more times and check out their other locations too!
