We were referred here after Serenity Café stopped serving brunch at 11:30 AM. Arrived at 1:05 PM, seated quickly, and ordered two entrées: pancakes with home fries, and a ham & cheese omelette with a pancake and home fries .
⏱️ Food arrived ~30 minutes later. The omelette was incorrect—undercooked and made with cheddar instead of American cheese as requested. It had to be remade, adding more delay.
☕ Service was minimal. We had to ask for coffee refills during our visit
The facility is clean and well-kept, but overall, the experience didn’t meet expectations. Sadly, it’s doubtful we be returning.

Every time we come down for Blue Ridge BBQ & Blues, we always hit the Bee for breakfast. Delicious food, healthy portions, & friendly staff. Got the veggie omelet, a side of sausages, & a monstrous pancake. Everything was cooked to perfection, & i barely finished it all! If it hadn’t been for toddler screaming the entire time, would’ve been perfect! (I know, I know – babies cry!)

We didn’t get to there. Lines were extremely long. But there was a note on the door saying they were short staffed. We had 2 littles with us and they were ready to eat right then. But will go back when we are back in town.

We just had bumblebee’s cafe cater our breakfast for our wedding weekend – Jessica was so easy to communicate with and was so helpful and prompt. Food was delivered and SO delicious!!! Really took the stress out of worrying about breakfast in the mornings. The breakfast charcuterie for our wedding morning was so pretty and yummy!!! Consider them for catering- you won’t be disappointed!

I ordered an oatmeal with honey and brown sugar + blueberries. The blueberries were plentiful and good. Oatmeal texture was on point. The ordering experience was okay. It’s a small local shop and they’re understaffed so they get the benefit of the doubt. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The checkout portion was a bit slow. Otherwise, this was a nice place to check out during our family vacation.

Cute spot. Decorations were pretty and atmosphere was cozy. Busy, but no wait and plenty of seating. My meal was cooked well and nice to see cinnamon raisin toast. There was limited table interaction that allowed for our drinks to go unfilled. Staff was pleasent and welcoming.

Very disappointed in our breakfast today. Eggs were cooked perfectly and food was hot, but sausage patties had dark spots on them and looked old…didn’t taste right either. I asked for some bacon to replace it, which the waitress gladly brought, but those came out almost raw and I couldn’t eat them either. Not good!

This lovely place servers some awesome breakfast. It feels like visiting grandma and having some breakfast. The dining room is medium sized so your wait might be about 15-20 mins, but it’s worth it. Parking is fine and you’ll almost always find a spot – if the lot is full, get ready to wait a lot longer for a table.
Try a pecan waffle!

Who’s in a hurry? Slow down and enjoy breakfast! My husband and I were visiting the area and this restaurant was recommended by a local at the Orchard as the place to get a great breakfast. And she was right! We each ordered different omelets; one Ham & Cheese, one Western, and each was absolutely delicious! The onions and peppers in the Western Omelet were prepared exactly as I liked them. Home fries accompanied our orders with hot delicious coffee and a most friendly waitress!! We left happy and will return again in the future. 5 star Highly recommend if you prefer a homemade breakfast made perfectly!! Busy place is a great sign to us!!!

I was hopeful because of the reviews but the food just wasn’t good. The fried mushrooms were burnt. The tater tots tasted like freezer burn and the biscuit and gravy had a sour taste. The home fries were beyond dry and no seasoning. The only thing good was the corn beef hash and eggs. Left everything as you see in the pictures. Highly disappointed.
Updated to add: we did let our server know and all she did was take 10% off. Nothing truly fixed. So no thank you, I’d rather not give my business.
