No, Dolly's Dairy Bar isn't affiliated with Dolly Parton... but it is one of the sweetest stops you'll make in Western North Carolina! 🍦⛰️

If you're headed toward Brevard to chase waterfalls, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Dolly's Dairy Bar. We spent a little time hanging out, sampled their delicious sweet ricotta ice cream (trust me, it's worth trying), along with several other fantastic flavors, and even bumped into a bunch of campers fueling up before another day of adventure.

The best part? You're surrounded by some of the most beautiful natural attractions in North Carolina. Looking Glass Falls is just down the road, Triple Falls is always worth the hike, and Ho**er Falls remains one of the area's favorite swimming holes when the weather is right.

That's what makes this part of WNC so special—you can spend the day exploring waterfalls, hiking through Pisgah National Forest, cooling off in mountain streams, and then reward yourself with some incredible homemade ice cream.

Get outside. Explore the mountains. Chase a few waterfalls. And don't forget the ice cream.

Big congratulations to Sully's Steamers in beautiful Brevard on 6 amazing years in the community! 🎉🥯🔥

What started as a unique sandwich concept has turned into one of the most talked about comfort food spots in the Southeast. Sully’s built its name around something simple but wildly different… steamed bagel sandwiches packed with fresh ingredients, melted flavors, and serious creativity. Their famous “Steamers” helped separate them from the traditional bagel shop experience and created a cult following across the Carolinas and beyond.

Founded originally in Greenville, South Carolina around 2013, Sully’s grew by focusing on bold flavors, fun menu creations, and an experience that feels casual, welcoming, and unforgettable. Instead of trying to be fancy, they leaned into being flavorful, messy, comforting, and community-driven — and people absolutely loved it.

The Brevard location has become a favorite stop for locals, outdoor adventurers, students, families, and visitors exploring the mountains of Western North Carolina. From breakfast sandwiches to loaded specialty steamers, Sully’s continues bringing energy and originality to downtown Brevard while helping create the kind of locally loved atmosphere that makes small mountain towns special.

Here’s to 6 years of great food, smiling faces, hardworking teams, and building community one steamed bagel at a time. Congratulations from all of us in WNC — and cheers to many more years ahead! 🥯❤️🔥
