Veranda Cafe & Gift

This is our favorite restaurant in Black Mountain NC. Always great food and good service. There are daily specials, soups,flavored teas and desserts that change regularly.
My wife had a cup of soup and a half sandwich with hibiscus blueberry tea. I had a full sandwich with potato chips. Both were wonderful, and we were too full to try the desserts. We were tempted to get some to take home, but we wisely refrained after thinking about how full we were.
After eating we took a stroll around town and visited some of the nearby shops. You can’t find a better way to enjoy the day!

Outstanding! Everything was very good, best vegan sandwich I've ever had.

The food was delicious! The only down side is that they had already run out of several menu items that we wanted, but that just meant that it's so good that it was already gone. Maybe next time we'll get there earlier. The waitress we had though was very unapologetic about the menu items being unavailable, and didn't let us know they were unavailable until we were giving her our order, and so we were having to take more time to decide what we wanted instead. Otherwise, a good place to get yummy, fresh, homemade soups and sandwiches.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. I had the fantastic Veranda Club sandwich and others the delicious potato soup and veggie sandwich. All quickly served and well presented. Our server, Kerry, was super friendly and attentive. We’ll be back soon!

We went here after a long cold rainy hike and we got exactly what we needed to recover! Great service, fast service, delicious hot and chunky tomato bisque accompanied with a grilled cheese with tomato and bacon and hot coffee! The wait staff was so helpful and so kind. On our way out we got lured in by their delicious baked good selection and we have absolutely no regrets about choosing the moist peanut butter pie looking cookie! It was the best cookie we have EVER had! Seriously. Will be coming back!

Lots of lunch restaurant options in the town of Black Mountain and we ended up here. Lovely brick walls, comfortable, quiet (which I really appreciate in a restaurant and is hard to find!). While we were waiting for our table, some locals recommended the Hungarian mushroom soup. I don't usually like mushrooms, but decided it was unusual enough that I should try it. And the soup was delicious. I scraped the soup cup with a homemade yeast roll so I ate every drop. I ordered the cup of soup and half sandwich and upgraded from the chips to the Indian summer salad. My friend had chicken salad and Indian summer salad. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh and healthy. Often after eating at a restaurant, I'll feel a little gross from the calories or richness of the food. But, I left Veranda I left feeling full, happy, and like I'd made healthy choices while supporting a really delicious and local business. I'd definitely eat here again.

I was impressed by their very professional staff. We sat outside and had some very nice mountain views. I got the Berry Brie Turkey Panini and it was amazing! I can't wait to go back and try other things!!!

My daughter and I love this place. Food was excellent, the best. The staff were great. We truly enjoyed it. Aww the Coconut Cake, and Carrot Cake were delicious. We highly recommend Veranda Cafe.

Love this place! Nice atmosphere with a very sweet staff! The food came out quick and was super fresh and delicious. When I checked out, I noticed a variety of cookies on the counter and the lemon blueberry cookie was seriously the best cookie I’ve ever had -soft inside/crispy edges. Can’t wait to go back and try the other flavors!

AirBnB host listed this restaurant as a recommended lunch spot and I've always had great experiences in downtown Black Mountain. Popular spot: restuarant had a wait at 1pm. So ordered food to go and ate outside in sunny weather. Turkey Pesto was delicious. Kids enjoyed the hot dogs.
