Gogo's — Restaurant in Old Fort

Totally unique. Tiny little shop with a surprising number of flavors. I didn't know cinnamon rolls came in flavors, but now I do. There's a drive-thru but going inside is a better experience. You get to ogle all the trays of rolled confection in person. When I went in, they had maybe 12 different flavors. And it's not just frosting, the roll itself is different.

I got the classic (for science), caramel pecan, apple pie, lemon, pumpkin pie, and the (pepperoni) pizza, which was the only savory option.

They'll heat up your cinnamon rolls if you're going to eat them right away or they'll pack them to go, with instructions to bring them to life. 30 seconds in the microwave - no longer or your frosting will liquify - and you've got a gooey sugar bomb.

A lifetime of dry cinnamon rolls taught me to go straight for the center, and this was the indicator I'd stumbled on something different. It was a bit too soft! I was worried it was underdone so I left mine for about 10 minutes.

When I came back, it was still slightly warmed on the edges, gooey in the middle, and the frosting firmed back up again. Perfect.

The frosting is perfect. Not too sweet, but super flavorful and thick. The guy behind the counter said it was shelf stable, which I don't know what to do with, but they clearly know what they're doing, so I'm not going to question it.

Skip the pizza, if they've got it. I'm more team savory than sweet so I grabbed it, but the flavor was just kinda meh, despite being generously filled with cheese and pepperoni. It just needed...

I had read about this place in the “Asheville Foodies” group and I take the Old Fort exit several times a month. I read such great reviews I had to stop. The sign said only the drive through was available but I had already parked so the nice young man yelled to just walk up to the window to which I replied…”Really??? That’s a normal thing”😄😄😄. So….I did. He was so personable. Very polite and fun young man. They were out of some of the favorites but I chose three flavors I really wanted anyway. The classic cinnamon roll was delicious. And I had it two days later! I split all of these with a visiting friend. The buttercream frosting was absolutely delicious and there was lots of cinnamon. We split the apple one and the caramel pecan roll the morning after purchase. I didn’t even heat them. We ate the pecan one first and it was sooooo good. We should have began with the apple because it was good and full of apples and cinnamon but compared to the other ones, it was a step down. Still good but I could have saved my calories! I am afraid I will be stopping by way too many times. I don’t need the calories but my mouth...

Amazing little find on our travels through the mountains!! We had just checked out of our hotel in Asheville and were headed through the mountain roads towards Banner Elk, with no real destination in mind. It was early tho and we definitely needed some coffee, when we passed Gogos. When we saw it we had to do a U-turn because from the looks of it the coffee had to be better than a gas station. Let me tell you, it was the Best decision we made all that day!! They have the most adorable little shop! We were greeted by the warmest welcome from the owners. The tough decision was which flavor cinnamon rolls to try. Everything looked delicious and wonderful. I got the apple pie first and no joke, this was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had! If you are in the area, definitely stop here, you will not be disappointed. We always try to support local businesses on our travels and this couple deserve it. They were so warm and friendly and even have us some great tips on some cool spots to check out on our journey. Their product is top notch and their store is adorable. I felt like I wanted to sit there, relax, and hang...
