The best breakfast I've ever eaten! I can't even describe the burst of flavors from the Velt breakfast sandwich. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Met friends here. Waited a bit. Was nice day. Sat outside.
Service was excellent. Fast, friendly. Very attentive.
Food, and portions, were good. Good menu. Plenty of choices. Fresh ingredients.
Seems very comfortable for kids and families.
Highly recommend. Love the location on Main St. Cute downtown.
Hands down my favorite restaurant in Sylva! We are never disappointed with our food here. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. The BEST biscuits and gravy.

I am not picking so for me to be unhappy with food quality is rare. Biscuits & gravy (which we all has) was terrible. I can't recommend at all.

I wish I could give this place more stars than five, pictures don’t really do it justice. This place will forever be ingrained in my brain.
Upon closure of a family vacation in Sylva, North Carolina we went to part ways and decided to do a goodbye breakfast. I scour the Internet, looking for places close by that we could eat out before pulling out.
I decided on Lucy and the Rye based on other reviews and photographs. We arrived just as they were opening and besides one other couple were the only people in the restaurant. They were able to accommodate our group of seven by pushing together tables.
The service was amazing and friendly. The staff members gave us our menus and took drink orders immediately. As you can see every member of our group got a different meal. We were all excited to try things that we had seen pictures of online.
They could really be charging twice as much for the quality that they produce in their food. It was an unforgettable breakfast, a very friendly staff and a clean restaurant. I did utilize the restroom services and they were also clean and well stocked.
I can only say I wish they were closer to home and I could visit them more frequently, but it will have to be a once a year endeavor, unfortunately.
Parking: Parking was right outside the front door, it was otherwise it goes town, but there was parking on both sides of the street at no charge
These pictures are worth a thousand words. The service was excellent always checking on you. Food came out super fast for lunch and cooked to prepared perfect. Salmon eggs Benedict and Velt’s cafe sandwich

The orange juice is to die for. Expensive, but worth it.
Omelette, fried eggs, bacon & potatoes were all delicious. Fresh OJ was great as well. Great service as well.

This place is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to return! The old building is so cute. The hostess and waiter were 10/10. Fast attentive service. The bus boy actually took the time to spray and thoroughly clean each table. The food was the BEST part. A+++ I got the avacado toast and added bacon. I loved the pickled onions. The fresh squeezed OJ was a nice surprise. My daughters bacon egg and cheese biscuit that she said was great. My husband got a breakfast burrito and loved the sausage gravy poured on top of it. The cheesy grits were also good and the cheese melted nicely in the hot grits. We will definitely return! 🤩
