TEDDY’s RATING: 
Back in 2006, while on a trip to North Carolina, we explored the little hamlet of Weaverville, just north of Asheville. There we discovered Well Bred Bakery & Café. Now we make this café a scheduled stop on all our Asheville vacations.
I’m always drawn to homemade treats. Well Bred is abundant with “handcrafted edibles.” But the one that drew
me in the most was the mountain éclair. Your normal chocolate éclair is about five or six inches long and filled with a bit of cream. This is not your normal éclair. This one is about six inches in diameter and filled with an ocean of cream. Super yummy. We get one, or two, every time we visit Asheville.
I tend to always pick one thing at a restaurant and go on and on about it, ignoring the other wonderful delectable delights. In this case, it’s the éclair. But Well Bred has so much more.
Sweets include: baklava, tiramisu, crème brulee, carrot cake, sour cream lemon and cranberry pound cake, chocolate raspberry bars, cinnamon streusel cake, key lime tarts, chocolate fudge cake, various cookies and now a mini version of the mountain éclair.
For entrees, they serve a fantastic chicken salad, fruit salad, gourmet croissant sandwiches, quiche, hot paninis, sesame noodles and homemade soups.
They offer a variety of organic coffees from Guatemala, Costa Rica, Brazil, Jamaica and Columbia, along with 
their collection of signature artisan breads including challah, wheat, demi baguettes, Italian batard, olive oil and rosemary, and sourdough.
This place is usually crowded during lunch with locals or visitors, but it is definitely worth waiting for a table. They’re open every day and stay open late on Fridays and Saturdays, until 9pm, so you can stop by and pick up a mountain éclair to take home. It’ll feed a family of four!
Dates of Visit: May 2006 to present
