“Yall. Simply the best pastries and coffee I’ve had in quite some time! Went to Black Mountain to celebrate my birthday with my daughter & sister. We ordered one of every pastry and had a taste test of 3 items and took home the rest. THEY WERE AMAZING!! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive, and the pastries tasted like they came from a French pastry shop. Will definitely be back soon!”

“Love this place! I always get the almond milk mocha and it never disappoints. Easy downtown parking and great service.”

Got a flight so I could try some different ones. 1 bartender and it was busy but he was great.”

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.”

“Hilltop Ice Cream in Woodfin is legit. The folks here are awesome and super friendly and always down to help you find the best flavor. Now, if you haven’t tried the goat milk cherry ice cream, you’re missing out. It’s crazy creamy, just the right amount of tart, and straight-up delicious.”

“As always fresh delicious and served perfectly. Thanks for a great breakfast !!”

“The best tacos in the world!!!”

“Such a great group of people helping the community! And really good pretzels!”

“Great food, music and atmosphere.”

“I wanted to give a huge shout-out to the team at the Dripolator on Tunnel Road for being such incredible community partners. We recently collaborated with them for our Golden Egg Hunt, and they went above and beyond to help make it a success! They were egg-perts at hiding one of our prize eggs. It’s rare to find a local spot that is as dedicated to community engagement as it is to brewing a perfect cup of coffee. Speaking of which—if you haven't tried their seasonal lattes or fresh baked goods, you are seriously missing out. 🥐”

“Cozy dining room, delicious food, and attentive service. Great wine selection—we loved our meal and can’t wait to come back!”

“My Fav spot for a watering hole and very tasty foods!!! Love Hillmans OF so much!”

“Loved this small cidery! Delicious ciders that can be experimented with through the use of sweet syrup. Small food plates were outstanding. Great atmosphere along with the gracious-friendly hosts. Highly recommend!!!!”

“First visit tonight. Sat upstairs outside. Incredible attentive service from everyone we talked to. The food was delicious and described perfectly. Can’t wait to return and try some other dishes.”
