Duck in to Bracken Mountain Bakery (42 S Broad Street – 828.883.4034) and order one of their nothing-better-in-the-world flakey croissants…. my suggestion: ask them to heat it up for you and then slather on the butter (yep, lots of butter and it will be very messy, but nothing better with a hot coffee on the side)… ;-)

Stop by Magpie Meat & Three in the Lumberyard Arts District (170 King Street – 828.877.3773) to dig into some of the best comfort food in Brevard. For a little something different, eat outside on the patio garden and play corn hole. Some of my favorites: deviled eggs, corn fritters. :-)
