The ice cream bar is in the back of the store. The selection was very creative. I had a scoop of something that sounded strange but tasted delicious. The lady behind the counter was very nice and helpful. There's limited seating but it's available. Most of the store is well stocked with a nice selection of outdoor clothing and accessories. I loved the section offering unique hand crafted bowls, boxes and other tableware. Some appeared to be from local artisans. It's a great little shop to visit when you are in the area.

What a wonderful business idea to put a little ice cream stand in the middle of a store!

Just one scoop was HUGE! And the peach ice cream was a winner. We also got a milkshake made with the peanut butter overload ice cream and it was super tasty!

Came across this bakery's products at Raffaldini Vineyard's farmers market. The two guys greeted us…read moreand showed us their full passion buckets for bread, pastries, and desserts! They encouraged us to enjoy free bait. Excuse me, I mean samples. Either way they reeled us in with unbelievable brownies and bread. We left with two pumpkin pie tarts, two brownies, a cinnamon twist, and a 'everything but the kitchen sink' cookie. Beyond loving how excited the guys got talking about their products and the fact they use high quality ingredients - the stuff is fantastic! Brownie - just about the best brownie I've ever tasted and I've had them all over. Pumpkin Pie Tart - UNREAL. I'm a pumpkin pie aficionado and eat between 5-6 entire pies each fall. I was a bit skeptical when the sales guys talked the tart up with its "brown sugar tart crust." It's so tasty that words can't do it justice. The internal debate is still raging in my belly whether the crust or filling was the champion of my day. Cookie - Literally is everything but the kitchen sink. Bursting with great and diverse flavors. You'll pay a little more, but it's so so worth it. Thanks guys!

We came here on a Saturday afternoon in late July as we followed the 100 mile yard sale which goes…read morefrom Harmony, NC to Virginia on US 21. We were traveling through Elkin and while The Yellow Door Cafe had almost no presence on Yelp we did see many positive reviews in Google and decided this was a great opportunity to add to the Yelp community. We arrived close to noon and were greeted immediately upon walking in. The building appears to be a converted home and is cozy and well kept. We noticed almost immediately there was a connection to Angry Troll Brewing which is another local business in Elkin that we are fans of. The signage for Yellow Door also states they are affiliated with Liberty Catering. We were placed at a small table and provided menus along with a short menu with featured their daily specials. Our server was friendly and helpful in telling us more about their business and making recommendations. My wife decided on the chef salad while I chose the chicken cordon bleu sandwich with fries. Our food arrived a short time later and looked delicious. In addition, the place started to really fill up. There were several tables seated while we enjoyed our meal. My wife really enjoyed her salad but it could have been bigger, she would have loved the option of ordering a larger size for more money. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I thought the Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich was also delicious. The fried chicken was very crunchy. I got the garlic aioli on the side but thought it was yummy and kept dipping my sandwich in it. My wife noted the restroom was clean and well appointed as well. The prices were reasonable and we really enjoyed our meals. This is an excellent stop while in Elkin and near the historic downtown area.

TYD serves brunch and a great selection of sandwiches at reasonable prices. Our party of four for lunch today started with their Pimento Cheese appetizer (available hot or cold). It comes with an amply supply of crispy, house made pita chips. We ordered ours hot. It was creamy with just a little kick. NOT oily like a lot of heated pimento cheese. The Reuben had a healthy serving of corned beef, just the right amount of kraut, and a creamy, Swiss cheese, and sweet Thousand Islands. Rue Bread was grilled just right. The BLT on toasted Sourdough bread was piled high with bacon, fresh tomatoes, and crispy lettuce. With mayo. Bacon was a thick slice, cooked perfectly. The French Dip on Ciabatta bread. Thinly sliced roast beef, with caramelized onions.and Swiss cheese was very good. The dip was ok. Could have a little more kick. Muffuletta sandwich (turkey, ham, olive tapenade, Swiss cheese, and a goat cheese spread) was delicious. They offer fries, sweet potato fries, potato salad, and a pasta salad as sides. Fries were crispy and tasty. Sandwiches are offered on breads appropriate for each sandwich, but you are free to choose other breads. TYD also offers a burger, chicken, chicken salad, and egg salad sandwich. There is a small bar menu and local craft beer available. We highly recommend the Yellow Door Cafe.

They have a menu that has a wide variety of caffeinated and not caffeinated drinks! The girl was SO NICE! Thanks to her bubbly personality we will for sure be coming back to this place on our way back from our trip. I got the Hunnypot Latte and YUM! It's not overly sweet or artificial syrup tasting, which makes it so smooth and creamy to drink. You know how you can look at the coffee and know if it's going to taste good or not? This has that nice golden color to it and I instantly knew I was going to love it. It has the perfect subtle taste of honey. It's PERFECT. My partner got the cold brew and was pretty impressed with it! He opted for no milk and to drink it black. It tastes a bit sweet, which I think means it's a dark roast? Don't quote me on that though. We poured a bit of my drink into his to even it out. They have those nice sip lids too, which I appreciate. The sweet woman gave us a mini little cup of 2 chocolate covered espresso beans too! She's so wholesome for that!!!! Any time we come up for a trip to the mountains now I have this place bookmarked. Definitely glad we randomly stumbled upon this place! :) 10/10

Made in a wood fire oven the crust and overall pizza was absolutely the top that I have had recently. The creek if you want to walk down to it was very nice as well. I guess Elkin Creek is on the muddy side, but still quaint and nice to look at as well. Now the wine, I was not blown away unfortunately and each, had a way of making me think I was tasting some type of Kombucha due to the spices used in them an a lingering flavor. I couldn't put my finger on it, but it was that way through all of the six wines we tasted.

Pizza that we ordered was delicious, with brie and bacon and the perfect thinness. It was quite large as well for $21 and we're still thinking about that pizza. But the wines, oh no, I never went to a winery where the wines tasted like they had a vinegar aftertaste. The only one we could stomach was the "soft white". We ordered a bottle of it to have with the Pizza and then walked around the premises to enjoy the creek. We're sad in our hearts that the wine just wasn't our taste, but if you want great wood fire pizza and a beautiful location, definitely come here.

This quaint little cafe is located in Rhonda, a few miles west of Elkin. When I pulled up, honestly my first impression was, "Oh. Not sure about this one." However, the reviews on Yelp were very good so again - don't judge the book by its cover. I went inside, cautiously, and was greeted by one of the employees. The cafe is small and the booth I sat in seemed somewhat unstable. I ordered meatloaf with green beans and a side salad. I actually enjoyed the meatloaf. It was very moist and tasty. The green beans were also very good. The salad was...well, if I go back I would probably select a different side as they had plenty of good options.
