Mount Mitchell Cafe & Eatery’s Summit Snack Shack opens May 2026, offering fresh sandwiches, salads, snacks, and beverages for hikers and visitors. The snack shack operates daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the season, while full‑service dining is paused due to post‑Hurricane Helene recovery and limited parkway access.
