“The best setting ever with the Eno River south of a great lawn with a covered patio north of a great lawn with a beautiful room for eating and drinking north of the great patio and always a different food truck out by the parking lot. My first trip there made me feel in place with the aesthetic as above-mentioned and the whole way it was taken care of with great bands place for dancing, place for sitting place for drinking place for eating and obviously shared opinion of the place as I saw all the people – many friends – who were picnicking on the great lawn or eating on the multiplicity of great patio tables and indoor chairs. Nobody came around to force me to feel I needed to pay for a drink. But that made me feel more generous. Although there were lots of alcoholic choices, I walked up to buy a turmeric, herb drink. They really knew how to do it.❤️”

The Caesar salad and salmon were great! Spouse‘s seafood platter (scallops, shrimp and salad) was done perfectly. He raved over the thousand island dressing (which is made in-house). The scones were so yummy that we bought six to take home! An overall wonderful experience! Note that the restaurant is upstairs… the setting is lovely!”

It was delicious I had mine sans the icing but hubby had his with icing. As he was eating his he said I Love this Cinnamon Bun and I don't even like them, Wow. He's a donut person. My CB was delicious not overly sweet, moist w/ the right amount of Cinnamon, great baking Kim and staff. They were very accommodating as I asked for some Cinnamon to go into my coffee. I highly recommend this Bake shop to anyone looking for morning pick-me-up, it's well worth the visit. Hometown flavor at it's BEST!!!”
