My gosh, best muffin (Morning Glory) I believe I've ever had! Not overly sweet, crisp on top, excellent flavors, ultra-fresh. And, excellent bagels in traditional style (not bready, firmer on outside while chewier on inside, and very flavorful and fresh as well). We'll be making the extended drive from Weaverville out to Rise Above often.

I , for one, just don't get the raves on this place.The business operates out of the person house. There is very limited parking . Taking orders is veryslow. The service is very slow. The bagel sandwiches I received today were rather small. The lox didn't tastegood at all. The tomato on the sandwich was over ripe.I guess I will stick to Joey's N.Y. bagels.

Our go-to bakery for bagels, sourdough bread and treats. They sell Dynamite coffee beans which saves us a trip to Bear Mtn.

Great food, great coffee, great prices! Love the chipotle aioli on the breakfast bagel sandwiches. A lot of add on options for breakfast sandwiches! Friendly staff. Wish they had indoor dining (looks like they used to) and almost got hit a ton of times in the parking lot just parked sitting there.

Always consistent. 10/10 Make sure to get their homemade cream soda!

Delicious breakfast options! They have really good bagels and biscuits which you can customize with multiple options. Their coffee is just drip coffee, so we don't really go here for fancy coffee drinks. There is usually a wait on weekends, so either order online or be prepared to hang out for a bit! Would love if they could get a bigger parking lot, but it's not that big of a deal since we usually just grab food and go. Always recommend them when friends visit town!

Probably my favorite overall sourdough bakery in the area. Nothing fancy but their fermentation is always on point. A destination for sourdough sandwich loaves and sourdough bagels. Probably the best bagels in the region frankly. They offer sandwiches and cream cheeses including vegan options. It is a go place to stop to or from Hickory Nut Gap Farm or the natural areas further south west.

Food is great and coffee is good. BUT every online order we’ve made for the last two months said it would be ready for pick up at 10am for example, but wouldn’t even be made when we get there at 10:10am. Then we’re sitting here with cranky toddlers or rushing to get to a work appointment but have to wait for another 5-15 minutes EVERYTIME. Not sure if they’re short staffed but I would encourage either changing the online time estimates or consumers need to wait an extra 15 minutes before going to pick up.

I love that they offer gluten free and dairy free options here! Their gluten free sourdough bread was amazing, definitely one of the better GF breads I've tried. I ordered the spinach, egg, and tomato sandwich and it was pretty good, but kind of over priced for what it is.

Samantha McKnight

Ordered coffee and food. Coffee is decent but we sat so long waiting for a bagel and egg sandwich that we just left. At least 25 minutes. Wouldn't recommend.

Best bagels in town! Just be sure to order online well before you pick up a dozen to get exactly what you want!
