I thought that this place was pretentious, which is pretentious of me.
My husband has dabbled in this place for years now. I just discovered it yesterday. It was like finding treasure.
The people, the food, the feeling of it- it is all perfect. Everyone is friendly, the bathrooms are clean, cabinesque decor is not over the top. It has a sunny feel. The coffee is from Panacea, which is a smart business move for this place. All ingested items were spot-on: the lemon bar, chocolate chip cookie, coffee, and blueberry muffin. It is like it is straight from a no-nonsense, experienced person's kitchen. No frills, and I love the fact that the muffin did not have its own muffin top to give you a muffin top*. The water is fresh and from Haywood County. You get it from a dispenser.
There are two coffee islands that are not overwhelming. The place is clean and tables are placed the right distance from one another. They list all kinds of beverages on a chalkboard to the side, which makes investigation easier. Prices are fantastic. There is an outside patio.
This place ie easy to find, too. Right off of 40 in a tiny plaza with medical specialists. Haywood Regional Medical Center is very nearby, too, if you need a landmark.
This place will make you feel warm inside when it's cold outside.
*I now believe that muffin tops are a body type, and not a result that anyone who overeats can acquire. My use of "muffin top" is for entertainment purposes only.
