Veranda Cafe & Gift

Top notch soups and sandwiches. Open 7 days a week! I was bummed because at 12:45 they were already out of the Charleston she crab soup. The service was efficient and friendly. Great gifts with individual flair.

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!!

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!

Been going here for 10 years and still adore it! Quality everything! Can’t beat the environment :)

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!

Been going on and off for years. We love it. We wanted their mushroom soup but they were out. I think I'm one of the last ones to have the recipe on a postcard they used to sell. Delicious. We shared a club sandwich. Very good. Love Black Mountain!!💕

Nice little restaurant with good food, we were looking forwrd to the mushroom soup but it's sold out when we get there. The tomato soup is good too. Love the sandwich, tasty.

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!.

Always stop by on the way to Maggie Valley. So many delicious offerings, I really wanted the Havarian Club Pretzel hot sandwich but on a diet so stuck with a simple, healthy salad. It was still great. Better because of the homemade herb balsamic vinaigrette.

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!!!

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

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 🩷🩷🩷

The Hungarian Mushroom soup was very good, nice paprika flavor. I had the Bavarian Pretzel Sandwich which had nice tasting ham and mustard. Good service and a calm atmosphere for lunch dining

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.

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.

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!

We absolutely love this delightful little café! The food was outstanding, the service excellent and the atmosphere delightful. Highly recommend this.

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!
