Blue Ridge Coffee

Blue Ridge is amazing! Fresh good food and lots of options to choose from. Their baked goods are to die for.

Nice coffee shop. Great parfait. Nice place to spend time with Mom.

I normally go for one of the breakfast bagel sandwiches, but yesterday I decided to switch it up and get the chicken salad on white bread.

I got my sandwich very quickly, which was nice. But right after I took my first bite I almost had to spit the whole thing out. I thought maybe the smell of the sandwich threw me off, bur when I tried a second bite I was fully grossed out. The bread I ordered my sandwich on was RAW. Super doughy and tasted really gross and wet. The chicken salad was good, so I ate the first half of my sandwich.

I went to ask for a box to go, and also asked the young man working if the bread was always like that. I asked if it was maybe supposed to be baked twice, because it had the texture of par baked bread. He told me no, and said that they baked it there this morning. He said nothing else and I told him my bread was raw. He avoided eye contact and stepped away from the register seemingly disinterested in the fact that the sandwich I bought was inedible. Said nothing else and shrugged. I’m not one to make a scene in a store, especially when the staff seems unreceptive. I thought my tone was simply curious and then informed him of the problem so that no other customers would have the same problem. Seriously, just the bread was under baked.

Overall, still great chicken salad inside the sandwich. Per usual the pasta salad was great and I enjoyed my coffee. I’m a bit disappointed in the receptiveness of my concern/complaint and that for me to say anything at all about the condition of my food is quite rare. Hoping this reaches management so raw bread isn’t being served to customers who should anticipate warm crunchy bread. :)

Awesome little coffee shop! The food is wonderful, the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is perfect for getting some studying done! The prices are also quite reasonable.
