Veranda Cafe

For sure one of the best restaurant experiences I've ever had! We were greeted and seated right away, it was reasonably busy near lunch time. Our server Renee was awesome, shout-out to her! As far as the food, both meat-eaters and vegetarians found awesome soups, salads, and sandwiches. The elderberry lemonade is a delicious treat, and the hidden gem was the pita bread! I definitely recommend it as a side, it was so delicious and flavorful. We couldn't stay for dessert but I wish we could have. I hope to visit black mountain again so I can come back!! Vegetarian options: Two members of my party are vegetarian and found vegetarian salads, sides, sandwiches, and soups that were absolutely delicious.

He Veranda has been our favorite place for lunch in Black Mountain for over 10 years. Consistently good food! It has been under new owners for a few years and we were thrilled to see it still has amazing lunches if homemade soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts. On this visit I had the tasty Kay Salad topped with their delicious homemade chicken salad and homemade bread. My husband was delighted with the Meatloaf panini. Terrific!

My visit to Veranda Café and Gift was amazing. Their service was very fast, the people serving us were very welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. I got to try the elderberry lemonade, which wasn’t my favorite, but it was very fun to try anyway. Their menu is very diverse and you’re sure to find something that fits the whole family. This is the cutest little restaurant in Black Mountain! Vegetarian options: As someone who doesn’t eat meat, I was very pleased with their menu options that had no meat, whether that be salads, sides, or sandwiches. Parking: Parking is hard to find near the restaurant, but there are several places to park nearby, and it’s not hard to get to, as Black Mountain is very walkable and pedestrian-friendly.

The food here was absolutely delicious. We stopped her for lunch while we were on vacation in Lake Lure and it's a quiet little place above a pizza parlor. The food was better than what I expected and the service was exceptional. FYI the warm Apple Pie and scoop of vanilla ice cream was absolutely the best hands down. I would highly recommend stopping here for lunch as you won't be disappointed.

The meatloaf panini at Veranda Cafe is a must-try! The meatloaf is juicy and flavorful, and the bread is perfectly toasted. I highly recommend it!.Food: 5/5

Veranda is must whenever I’m in town - at least once! The people are friendly and food and teas delicious. You cannot go wrong here Food: 5/5

Cute place with the most delicious foods. My husband ate the Bavarian pretzel club and he loved and savored every bite. I got the Cuban and wanted to bathe in the mojo dipping sauce. Even my son gobbled up his hot dogs. Def a new favorite place to stop on the way through the Asheville area.Food: 5/5

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!

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!

Such a precious dining experience in the town of Black Mountain. Wish we could have sat outside on the veranda, but inside was just as quirky and unique! I had the chicken gyro delicious tzatziki sauce with a ginger beer, and my friend the pesto Turkey melt with Pinot. Such a fun lunch and our waiter was very friendly. We loved the fish water pitchers!
