Mercier Orchards Downtown - Blue Ridge

Today we wanted to go to the actual orchard, but as they led us to wear masks that we left and drove around a small thru city. We drove by and decided to stop. I'm very happy. From the beginning to the end we had great service from Julie and although we could not do a tasting, we tried a new cedar that was brilliant. The building was a beautiful old bank and the story behind it was pretty cool. We go back and would like to visit the orchard as soon as the masks are not obligatory.

A great shrine to Mercier Orchards Downtown in Blue Ridge for a heavenly sidewalk breakfast, fantastic coffee, quick and friendly service PLUS a bag full of joy! We'll be back!

Delicious buffet, there were eggs (scrambled), hash browns, sausage, bacon, biscuits, gravy, chicken and waffles and a few other items. The biscuits are delicious although not the densest I 've ever had, which was a good thing. Very good sausage links, fried chicken, gravy everything was delicious. Nice atmosphere, there is a gift shop and cider bar...there is a vault you can eat in. Also, ask for apple butter for your biscuit. I was told that they opened this restaurant because the one at the orchard two miles north would get so busy that the wait times often exceeded 45 minutes...but the menu is the same here as it is at the orchard.

Downtown Blue Ridge is getting better. Mercier Orchards has added a restaurant in downtown with breakfast and lunch and of course a bakery next door with its famous fruit fried cakes. There is a menu or a buffet for breakfast. Since we love her French toast with cinnamon apples, we have tried nothing else. The coffee is excellent and is groundless. Attention. Hard cider available and flight taste test. Open 7 am to 6 pm.

Five star service and 3 star buffet breakfast. Bacon and chicken were great. Eggs and smirk both runny. Lipton tea bags were a surprise. Merciers should go with a high-quality hot tea to go with their menu. It's super sweet inside. I'd definitely eat again here, just not the buffet.
