Daymoon Coffeebar
The closest good coffee to home, and it happens to have a drive-thru. On a slow morning that combination is hard to beat. Pull up, grab your cortado, keep moving.
Seventh-floor Italian that bills itself as Appalachia-meets-Alps, with a brick oven, good spritzes, and wide-open Blue Ridge views. It's got a Michelin Bib Gourmand too, so the food holds up to the scenery. Time it for sunset and it's a night you'll remember.

This is the hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd. Book early or plan on missing it.
They fry the doughnuts to order, so you're eating them warm and a little crackly at the edges. It's a small menu done exactly right. Get there before the line does.
