Cedar Mountain Outpost

Nestled on Greenville Highway just minutes from the entrance to Dupont State Forest, Cedar Mountain Outpost is more than a gas station—it’s a lively roadside retreat for hikers, cyclists, and families traveling through Western North Carolina. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the Outpost welcomes guests with a bright, rustic interior featuring reclaimed wood tables, a large community board, and large windows that frame the surrounding pine‑filled hills. The kitchen serves freshly prepared grab‑and‑go salads, artisan sandwiches, warm pastries, and hearty soups, while the made‑to‑order pizza oven delivers thin‑crust pies topped with locally sourced mozzarella and seasonal vegetables. Coffee lovers can enjoy handcrafted lattes and drip coffee brewed from beans roasted by Due South Coffee Roasters, and the bar offers a curated selection of bottled beers, craft brews on tap, and a modest wine list perfect for unwinding after a hike. Fuel pumps operate 24 hours a day, providing 87‑octane regular and 90‑octane premium non‑ethanol gasoline, with credit‑card and WEX Fleet Card payment options. Throughout the year the Outpost hosts community events—from Cars & Coffee mornings and live acoustic sets to sunrise yoga sessions—making it a gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. Prices range from $8 for a sandwich to $15 for a pizza, keeping the menu affordable for travelers on a budget. Whether you’re refueling your vehicle, grabbing a quick bite, or looking for a friendly place to relax, Cedar Mountain Outpost delivers food, drink, and hospitality in the heart of Brevard’s scenic foothills.
