Heard about Pisgah Bakehouse?

Checked out Pisgah Bakehouse for the first time this past Wednesday and left happy. All pastries and breads made in-house in their wood-fired oven. Nice fresh ingredients in our sandwiches. The pastry case totally hijacked my sandwich-only intentions. It MADE me leave with an Almond Croissant!

They “opened in the fall of 2023 bringing hand crafted food, brick-oven breads and pastries to Brevard, NC. The Bakehouse is the third bakery/cafe location under the ownership of David Workman who, with his team, has been producing from scratch food at Flat Rock and Fletcher Village Bakeries for almost 20 years.”

Now the Bakehouse makes pastries and breads for all three Workman properties in their new wood-fired oven. Bakehouse Chef Daniel Goodsen points out this includes laminated pastry doughs for their Danish and Croissants.

Not sure if they’re always as busy as they were when we stopped in, but the line to order took a while to work our way through. I’m thinking there were quite a few Brevard College students there, as well as families and other folks out for lunch.

Place your order, take a number, and they’ll bring your food to you. Drinks are self-serve to the left of the counter. There’s a sign on the counter saying expect sandwiches to take 25 minutes. I timed them. We had our sandwiches in 9 minutes 27 seconds, even though they were busy. Better to under promise and over deliver, I guess. In nice weather, I think I’d choose outside covered patio seating.

You won’t get bored watching the kitchen action while you’re in line. It’s fast, furious, and non-stop for the impressive number of staff back there! I was watching pastries being made and things going into and out of the oven.

Pisgah Bakehouse is right off the new Brevard roundabout/rotary/traffic circle/whatever you grew up calling them. See their address below the gallery. There’s a parking lot, but it’s tight-ish and limited. We were lucky someone left just as we arrived and we were able to slide into that parking spot.
