I LOVE the bakery. And I'm not the only one. This place is an institution. At one point I lived within walking distance and now live 6 states away and make it a point to stop in every time I'm back in WNC. The parking and lines are always crowded but it's worth the wait. The pastry case and the menu items are both good choices. Check out the day old basket for some to-go items. There is limited seating inside as well as covered and uncovered seating on the decks.
Nestled in the back of The Wrinkled Egg in the heart of Flat Rock, this tiny spot is a MAJOR influence. Delicious breads ( the Orange scones are sublime and disappear quickly), soups, salads, sandwiches and each is delicious. Order at the counter, find a seat and your order is ready pronto. Nothing fancy; simple and excellent offerings. And then when you've finished, stroll into the adjoining Wrinkled Egg to take a look at all the unique gift ideas!
Bakery is excellent We drive 6 hours and first stop into NC Food is good but not as good as sweet treats
You wouldn't have guessed it was a Monday morning by the substantial crowd at this bakery. It seemed the place to be in this town. They have a small interior and a multilevel deck outside. The fare includes baked goods and some fresh food to include pizza and salad. My salad was quite pleasant. I was glad for the option to order a half but it was still a decent size for the price and came with house croutons and vegetables that tasted fresh. My chai hit with a nice flavor, though it wore off a bit by the end. A lemon blueberry danish was apparently something you pick up at the register and is not sent to you like the other food if you dine in, but once I figured this out, I retrieved my danish. It was a robust flavor balance, though a little on the dry side and perhaps not the freshest item they had. They did have a vegan cookie and non-dairy milks for beverages; between the baked items and the salads you could do reasonably well. Still, there was plenty of quality here, and you'd be hard pressed to do better when looking for this sort of place.
Quaint bakery!! All fresh made items! Great outdoor seating area covered and uncovered. Friendly helpful staff. Pet friendly on the patio. Says roaming chickens but haven't seen them yet. I ordered a ham, egg and cheese sandwich with havarti cheese on sourdough bread, orange juice and a ham & cheese croissant to go. Ham & cheese croissant, soft, lite, butter and flaky!! My sandwich, well, let me just say I ate every bite!! Very family friendly!!
Nice bakery in a friendly little town. I got the Turkey cranberry and a pecan tart. The pecan tart was slightly too sweet for my taste but still yummy. Turkey cran was delicious except for the spiciness of the mustard which I didn't think paired too well with the sandwich. Bread was baked very well though.
This was our last stop on vacation because we wanted to take a few pastries to go. We ordered breakfast and coffee, also. I had an Asiago pesto bagel with butter and a drip coffee. The coffee is great (counter culture), but they ran out of medium roast while we were there. The bagels were awesome! My husband had a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich. Our to go items were a peaches and cream Danish (10/10, amazing and perfect), a cheddar and scallion scone (8.5/10 a very good, lots of scallions, balanced), and a chocolate croissant (also a 10/10). It's a very busy bakery, which is sometimes a bit overwhelming for me. It was definitely worth it for the yummy food, though. They have 50% off day old bread - we picked up a loaf of that mid-vacation to eat with leftovers. We appreciated the affordable baked goods and fast service.
