Drachenfutter — Restaurant in Waynesville

LOVE this place! We stopped here for lunch while we were traveling through. I just wish this restaurant was in my town. First thing you notice is the atmosphere - so quaint and cozy! It reminds me of what I think a cottage in the woods would look like inside. They even have board games you can play! I wish we would have had the time. We noticed at once all of the coffee and tea options along with the dessert cooler. Everything looked DELICIOUS. We are trying to lose some pounds so, not doing desserts, but this place made it EXTREMELY hard to deny the temptation. I mean, Chocolate Red Wine cake!!!! C'mon!!!! I'm still thinking bout it. We each had a sandwich. Hubby had the pasta salad (completely and wonderfully homemade - not pasta with store bought italian dressing dumped on it). I had a side salad with mine with, again, homemade dressing. Our sandwiches were loaded with meat and were very filling and, of course, DELICIOUS. Our iced green tea was awesome too. The service was quick and friendly. They are short staffed but there is a sign stating such so we were more than glad to take our dishes up when we were done. I can't think of anything I would change about this place. If I lived in Waynesville, I would be here every opportunity I had! Thank you for a wonderful lunch experience!

Drachenfutter hosted a small funeral luncheon for my family a few weeks ago since it was one of the only places in the area available(thanks covid). While perhaps a little unorthodox given the circumstance, It couldn't have been a better experience and the food they served was very good! I was pleasantly surprised having not been from the area and having absolutely no idea what to expect walking into a place called Drachenfutter... While I didn't have anything from the cafe, my sister said the London Fog was one of the best she'd ever had! I was even able to chat with the owner as we were getting ready to leave and she shared with me a little history of her business and the origin of the name. I found it very interesting and clever and I was glad I asked. The staff went above and beyond catering to our family at our time of loss and I am very grateful for their hospitality, kindness, and general willingness to serve us they way that they did. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and I could definitely see myself visiting again, should I ever find myself back in...

Coffee check check. Copper canyon is the brand they sell very tasty and affordable. Friendliness check. I just bought some of their loose leaf tea, want to try before you buy they can fix you a bag of fresh loose leaf to go. They have ice cream as well, delicously as the other gourmet ice cream places. Pastry cabinet so full of the best sweets made fresh daily chocies vary daily. So if you see that red velvet today and will want it later grab it up. Guves you a chance to try many different kinds. And did you know they have an app, Joe coffee, fairly easy to use and gives you other ideas for other resturants in other aeras to use. Don't ignore it any more, come do the judging for yourself and check out this local business out, you will be glad you did. Vegetarian friendly special orders are ok to. Atmosphere makes it feel spacious definately perfect for brunch. About a block down accross from the farmers market before Steve's place and...
