What a delightful place! Food was incredible, we came for brunch on the way to the airport. Staff is sweet, service was slow but the place was packed. Decor is great, and there's both inside and outside seating (well behaved pups allowed outside). They sell some of their condiments and cute towels etc at the hostess stand. Wait was very long and parking is limited, they don't take reservations. Worth the wait!!

2 hours, 3 mimosas, 1 heart to heart and 16 shed tears later... we were sat and ready to order! The outside space is extremely cute and comfortable to enjoy a drink while you wait for your table. I mentioned to the server I was vegan and she brought me a WHOLEEEE MENUUU! We love to see it! Anyways, experience overall was pleasant and the vegan burrito I had was good. I would definitely come back with friends or family visiting from out of town.

So, I'll start by saying we waited an hour for a seat. There's plenty to do in that time frame. You can walk through the garden, you can order a coffee and a pastry at their outpost bakery... Once we were taken to our seat, it was very cramped. However, the people at the table next to us were so kind, it was not an issue. We ordered the complete breakfast and the biscuits and gravy. Both were delicious. Our server was great.

This is always a staple place when we visit Asheville. This time....I remembered to get pictures! AND we got TWO carrot cake pancakes instead of one! I finished all of my grits, the bacon never disappoints. Our waitress was spot on!

Such a delightful brunch spot! We went on a Wednesday morning at about 10am and had to wait about 35 minutes for a table, which sounds par for the course. There's a nice shaded area to sit and wait for your table, as well as a garden where they grow a ton of produce that you can explore. Once we were seated, our waitress was super kind and helpful. I had the breakfast sandwich and home fries. The sandwich was super flavorful and huge, and the home fries were crispy perfection. My husband enjoyed his breakfast burrito (also huge), and we shared and LOVED a carrot pancake - it had the best cardamom butter on top. We stopped by the bakery on the way out for a cinnamon roll for the road, and it was DIVINE. Would definitely recommend this place!

A must do while you are in Asheville but be prepared to skip lunch that day. The wait can be brutal, so plan accordingly. Food is exceptional, service is friendly, and the garden area is nice.

IAN WAS AMAZING!!! Bachelorette trip, from VA. Ian was so helpful with the menu and the area. He has the best personality and made it such an enjoyable experience! With the outdoor vibes (live music, flowers, dogs) it was the best of vibes! Hands down one of my fav places I've been, definitely check it out!!

Sooo good, especially for people avoiding gluten, as they have a separate GF menu. I got the breakfast sandwich and added avocado and sub'd the chipotle aioli for the scallion one. Mine was excellent but if I were to return, I'd get the avocado toast, my husband's entree. It was very similar but with a balsamic glaze and the maple bacon. This was incredible and I was jealous. The mimosas were mega and since I'm a lightweight, would've preferred more juice vs bubbly but certainly not a negative. I would've preferred griddled home fries vs fried cubes but not a big deal just feels like it would be more in line with the rest of the food. This would be a regular place for us if we lived in Asheville!

Cute restaurant!! Plenty of seating, you may need to street park your car if the lot is full. They have a bakery/café called the Rabbit hole which has some of the baked goods they use in their cooking. Additional they have a garden on sight that you can walk through. Our waitress was super nice and helped me decide on the home fries which were definitely crispy and salty. I got the breakfast sandwich. It's very big and I was not able to finish it. The chipotle sauce on it was not super spicy. The bacon was the best part, sweet and savory. My friend got the Fried Green tomatoes sandwich. She said "It's the biggest croissant I have ever seen. It had two huge tomato slices fried to perfection. The sandwich was not soggy and had the right amount of sauce." Overall, totally worth a visit. P.S. they make their own jam and hot sauce.

I was in town for a bachelorette and did not get to choose any of the places we ate. However, the maid of honor who did pick did an outstanding job as exemplified by my experience at Sunny Point Cafe. Keep in mind that we came for brunch and did not even show up until around noon (I was starving by that time!!) It was a beautiful but lightly rainy day. Unfortunately, they don't take reservations so we had to go in with our group of 13 knowing that there would be a long wait. It took a little over an hour to get seated, but that's to be expected at the cutest brunch place in town. As soon as I laid eyes on a Bloody Mary from across the restaurant, I knew it had to be mine. My secret to a good Bloody Mary is to ask for 1/2 alcohol. It was topped with pickled veggies that really captured the acidity of the drink. It was perfectly spicy. Someone at the table ordered some pound cake bites to start us off. I am not a sweets in the morning type of person, but I was still very impressed with how fresh they tasted! To eat, I split two meals with my friend. I ordered the breakfast burrito with pork chorizo and a side salad. She ordered the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich. Both were incredible, but I have to just say how especially unique the sandwich was. It comes with goat cheese, bacon, and pepper aioli on a toasted croissant. I didn't know I liked goat cheese until I had that sandwich. It was the most amazing sandwich I've ever had. The side salad was also incredible. The burrito was quite delicious too, but it was pretty expected. The service was also quite magnificent. Even though the wait for a table was long, the actual time it took from sitting down to leaving was pretty quick for a large group. We had to split between two tables, but that probably was less overwhelming for the servers! If I am ever in Ashville again, I will know where to go for brunch!
