The Yellowphant Cafe

My friends and I visited Blue Ridge for a four day weekend. Saturday morning we were looking for a nice place to eat breakfast and learned of the Yelephant cafe. What a wonderful experience!!! I ordered the shrimp and grits. They were absolutely delicious ---would definitely love to come back. Wonderful staff and cook. Thanks for making our trip enjoyable

We had such a wonderful experience at Yellowphant Cafe! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Our waitress, Tammi, was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Her suggestions were spot-on — every item she recommended turned out to be delicious. It’s always a great sign when someone genuinely loves what they’re serving, and Tammi made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The owner was also super nice and took the time to make us feel appreciated, which added such a personal touch to the visit. And the food? Phenomenal. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the quality in every bite. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Yellowphant Cafe to anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

Giving their rating my friends and I decided to visit but we were very disappointed. We waited a lot to get our food and when the food arrived everything was bad. Waffles overcooked, brisket overcooked (they charge extra and i didn’t even eat) it was very hard. The only good thing was the coffee and service the waiter was really nice. But for the price we expected way more. The food was not good at all.

There are so many amazing options on the menu at Yellowphant that it was very hard to choose. I had what might be the best shrimp & grits I've ever eaten. The flavor knocked my socks off. I'd go back for it. Lots of creative coffee and tea options using French press, which is a nice touch. You can order full menu as well. Very impressed with this place!

Wake up and get yourself over here, ask for Teri and enjoy an EXCELLENT latte & breakfast! I enjoyed the Brown Sugar House Latte and I highly recommend the brisket biscuit! Spectacular! They also offer turkey sausage which is appreciated and hard to find. We got that on the house burrito.
