The Well-bred Bakery Café​ In Biltmore Village

Stopped in around 12:30 p.m. while visiting Biltmore Village. Ordered an egg and cheese croissant and a pot de crème. I was served a croissant I can only describe as “leathery. The supposedly-scrambled eggs were rubbery, gosh knows how old, and cut into flat rectangles. Cafeteria food. The croissant was astonishingly terrible. Sad, flat, you couldn’t even pull it apart. Not fresh or flaky, in any way. It’s a bakery, for goodness’s sake. I took it back to the counter after one bite. I was honestly offended they served it to me. The good thing was that the staff were very courteous and promptly refunded the croissant with an apology. I took my pot de crème to go, and it was very good, but I wanted lunch for lunch, not dessert. Really threw my whole day off.

Had lunch at The Well-bred Bakery and Cafe at Biltmore village the other day. When I say the sandwiches my boyfriend and I ordered were good, I mean life changing good. We both had the curry chicken sandwich. My side was a Greek cucumber salad and his side was a kale salad. Dessert was key lime pie! Everything I put in my mouth from that cafe was amazing. I can't recommend this place enough.

Well-Bred has a brunch and lunch menu which, while limited, offers an excellent taste experience. We had the quiche and a sandwich special; both were delicious. Be warned. Their desserts are extremely tempting, and taste every bit as good as they look. Parking: Parking availability depends on the cowd each day. We parked two blocks and walked but it is a very pleasant walk.

We've been going here for years. Large desserts and baked goods that are delicious and visually appealing. The wife loves the mountain éclair and espresso roulade. I recommend the tomato gouda quiche and Swedish creme. The outdoor dining area is nice when the weather allows. The one negative is that parking is a . If you arrive early in the day there will be empty spots along the roads but when activity ramps up those cramped little Asheville streets get packed with cars and the limited free parking fills up. Plan ahead. They have multiple locations so if you're up for a little drive I would recommend the Weaverville location for its calmer area.

Delicious! Loved the quiche! And the little square chocolate truffles are amazing. So is that shortbread! I wish there was a recipe book!!
