Mockingbird Cafe & Bakery

Great little cafe I found when travelling down 81! I've actually driven from Roanoke to pick up from her on Saturdays--it's well worth the trip! Tons of vegan options that are incredibly good!

Mockingbird is my favorite place to pick-up breakfast. They have the most amazing big bagels (they kind of remind me of warm soft pretzels). I also love their breakfast sandwiches (my favorite is the egg and cheese on potato sourdough, and I’ll often get a loaf of this bread to go too). Their cinnamon rolls are delicious and giant (and vegan!). My favorite cookie is their citrus cookie (although I’m hesitant to mention it, because they’re so popular they often run out, haha). I also love this place because they cater to both vegans / vegetarians and meat-eaters (that way I can make both my vegan husband and my bacon loving father-in-law happy). Donna is always coming up with new veg-friendly recipes, like biscuits and gravy. Their bagel and lox is also fantastic (and a very generous portion). Mockingbird has also gone above and beyond on adapting their restaurant to COVID. You can easily order ahead on their website, then you just show up at your selected time and pick-up your to-go bag. I always feel like they are doing everything they can to ensure customer safety. We often order Friday for a Saturday morning pick-up, and it’s become a small something to look forward to on weekends.

The pastries here are fantastic. I've had the lox bagel, which was insanely delicious. The cheddar and ham croissant is also great. This place has a ton of potential and delivers in most of it.
