Cafés & Coffee
Bryson City punches above its size on coffee. La Dolce Vita roasts its own beans on Everett Street. Bryson City Bakery laminates its own dough every morning for croissants, morning buns and cardamom buns. Cardinal Coffee pours fair-trade espresso out of a restored 1900s farmhouse just outside downtown.
The other two are lunch in disguise, Mountain Perks runs wraps, quiche and soups alongside the espresso menu, and The High Test Deli is a local institution whose frozen ice cream sandwiches were voted the best in North Carolina. All are a walk or a short drive from the train depot.
