Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Strudels is a European style bakery owned and operated by the Payson family. We make our home in what was the Stony Knoll Grocery, which was operated by the Coe family since 1961. The grocery was a local gathering place for the neighbors of the Stony Knoll and Rockford communities

The Payson family refurbished the building and opened Strudels in 2006, making a long time dream come to life. We are continuing the tradition of being a gathering place for the local communities, as well as for visitors from all over, who take a break from touring the local wineries, “Mayberry” and the Blue Ridge mountains to enjoy our creations.
