Rock Hill Bakehouse & Cafe

We stopped here on our trip to six flags great escape, since it seems like the only all vegan option in the area. We grabbed the dal tarka, and the bakon & scramble as well as some hole-free sourdough bagels and a sandwich to eat later. (And a pistachio biscotti and big chocolate chip cookie)

The dal was good, flavorful, if a bit salty. (I preemptively took an enzyme, but was still uncomfortably burping more than 4.5 hours later, so…) The rice was nicely cooked though. (We got there shortly after they opened, so it was super fresh). The bakon was adequate, I suppose. Clearly made from a slab of straight up gluten. A little too floppy. The scramble was disappointing. The flavor was there, but it was total mush. My husband couldn’t eat more than a few bites. I ended up packing it up and eating it as a spread inside one of the bagels later. (I’m less willing to waste food, and it was a perfectly flavorful tofu based sandwich filling, just definitely not a scramble.)

Along with the scramble, there were 2 pieces of toast. One plain, and the other was cinnamon raisin. They were both really nice. Very crusty.

For the to-go sandwich it was nice that they packed the moist items separately. The guac and mayo each were packed into 2 oz condiment cups. We had enough to use on other sandwiches later. (Helpful to have extras to enhance your makeshift sandwiches while on the road)

The hole-less bagels were not exactly like bagels. The bottoms were dusted like you’d see on a loaf. They were more like tiny boules. I vastly preferred the jalapeño one. It was much more tender than the plain sourdough one, and it didn’t seem spicy at all. We had a quarter of the plain sourdough one left the next day and it had gotten excessively hard. But we managed to finish it.

Lastly, we had a chocolate chip cookie and a pistachio biscotti. The biscotti wasn’t all that cookie-like. More soft and bready than I expected. The cookie was straightforward, and tasted like a classic bakery cookie. Just the right amount of chips to dough ratio.

The only place I go to get my coffee now! Food and coffee is delicious with natural vegan ingredients! The employees make you feel like a friend when you’re there! And my toddler loves watching the guys bake bread! They are always waving and smiling at him! Definitely a staple in our community. Support local and stop going to corporate coffee shops. 💕

Delicious food! Fresh bread, hearty sandwiches, and great matcha. Cozy, homey atmosphere — perfect spot for lunch. Definitely coming back!

Fabulous place. And they make Fried bread dough!!!! My grandmother used to make it for me when I was a kid. I haven't had it in probably 30 years or more. It was delicious and brought back so many wonderful memories. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

the legend of bread and baked goods.... and awesome vegan food

Nice place for vegan lovers. Food is good. You can see the bakers make bread as you enter.
Small place but just enough for the lunch crowd.

Just realized I have never given you guys a review!
Hands down my absolute favorite place to eat and order from!

Visiting from the UK, where we are really spoiled for choice with vegan options, so was struggling a bit until I found this place, great service and an expansive menu 👌

This is one of my favorite spots for lunch. Their food is always delicious. Everyone who works here is super nice and it's an added bonus that it's easily accessible from the trail so I can conveniently hit it after a long run. They also have great coffee and my kids love their baked goods.
