The Wrinkled Egg Review

Dined there this afternoon, 7/13/2020. Food was very good. However, we did not observe any tables/chairs being cleaned between seatings and there was trash under our table. Lesson learned here is to be vigilant when choosing a restaurant; need to observe for myself that state protocols are being followed.

Unique collection of stores and eateries on this block in Flat Rock ... Parking maybe a problem but worth the effort.

I always visit this store when in town and have always had a pleasant experience. However, we stopped by Saturday in hopes of finding some nice things to purchase and weren't even given a "hello" when walking through the entire store! Two employees and no one recognized the four of us!! Needless to say we won't be back!

Love the pizza! Great sandwiches as well. The gift shop is full of beautiful and fun items. Must visit.

Oh what fun! Starting with the BIRDS - many enchanting birds in their charming and roomy cage! The shopping was lovely - fun and attractive gifts, toys, and clothing. Also had a delightful lunch on the back deck.

Tons of great little gifts and things. Hang out with the bunnies while you're here. :)

Cute southern store with great unique kid selections. Fun cards and books. Was not greeted or even acknowledged for the 35 min I was there. I m glad I didn t by a few of the cute tops I saw. Was in for the weekend and went to Asheville later that day and same manufacturer was 1/2 the price at the boutiques downtown.

Pretty much the old white general store promised in Historic Flat Rock, my family and I stopped in for a bit after dropping our daughter off at a local camp. A bit touristy, but the place had an interesting local flavor with original folk art, fun gifts and games, antique treasures, fashion accessories and more. The Wrinkled Egg is best known for camp "care packages" offering an assortment to choose from.

Trivia note on the unusual name, The Wrinkled Egg was named for an old red hen that used to roam the owners back yard. Decent service and pleasant staff. Clean store. Parking is hard to find as the store is busy and does share a common lot with other attached businesses.

I LOVE shopping at The Wrinkled Egg! Even if I don't need to buy anything, sometimes I just walk through because it's a renewing experience. Virginia has gorgeous scarves and clothes, funky, fun toys, and unusual home decor and gift items. There is an uplifting, rejuvenating energy. Everyone who works there has always been very helpful to me. The big birdcage full of finches and the rabbit don't just engage my grandchildren they delight me, too. It's a great place to shop, or, just to wander.

A delight! A veritable cornucopia of toys, clothing, gifts and all sorts.

Whoever runs this shop has a good eye for interesting and stylish things but excels themselves with the large toy section including a lovely large birdcage with small birds in it and very cute lop-eared rabbit which the children can pet.

Lovely women's bags and other items too, indeed, there's plenty to pause and look at, even for a bloke like me.

There also a bakery inside the store but I've reviewed that separately as it seems to be s separate business.

Well worth a visit!!!!

Love this little gem. Such cute and unique treasures. Love to pet the bunny. I could spend all day here.

Fun, quirky gift shop. Great eclectic inventory + fabulous greeting card selection. Primary Con: expensive. Primary Plus: Location - in same building with Flat Rock Bakery!

Its been a while since we visited but we loved all of the local art. This time we found it had been reduced to just another "gifty" tourist trap full of mass market "Hobby Lobby" style junk. If that's what you like, this is the perfect place for you.

Great little shop to pick up your Flat Rock souvenir.

Fantastic little place. I was wondering if they had any wrinkled eggs on the Menu, but realized that it was mostly pizzas and bread. Still very happy with the food choices.

Fun store! They have a pet bunny and birds there which are a delight to look at and admire. They have lots of gifts and even a bakery, which looked and smelled delicious.

quaint little restaurant with a friendly staff and very good food.

It's so cute in there! The food is very fresh and yummy! The pizza is the best.
We will visit again.

What a disappointment. Cute place amongst some cute shops. Biggest part of the problem is the layout. I'm guessing the owner has never stood in line and/or observed the turmoil. The baked goods are displayed adjacent to the cash registers. The line forms in front of the baked goods so you don't know if someone is waiting to order or selecting items. The cashiers are screaming to the customers and the person pulling the bakery items, who is screaming back. The customers are screeching their orders to the cashiers - you can also order kitchen items from the menu board. The lowest shelf in the bakery display is below knee level, difficult to read while people in the line are shoving from behind. And, that is the other part of the problem. Some, not all, of the regulars from the area have no manners. Before ordering, they are screaming, not talking, to one another. After ordering, some move to the tables and some stand near the cashier, others back in front of the bakery display. Rearranging the coffee area, the bakery display and the cashiers, as well as blocking access after payment would create a pleasant experience rather than this day at the zoo. It may also improve the bottom line as we were considering ordering some take out items but I had enough of the circus atmosphere. All that aside, The food was good and the employees very friendly. Their stress levels must be sky high at the end of the day. I would not return there.

Absolutely darling!!!! Fun, unique gifts in a really cute atmosphere. A Must for any visitor in the Flat Rock area.
