“With 900+ 5-star reviews already in the books, Hole doesn't really need still another, yet here I am, piling on. Great doughnuts - near perfect mix of slightly crispy outside and airy inside. Friendly, enthusiastic service, and good coffee from a nearby roaster. Kinda cool, too, to see them being made, to order, right on front of you. Nice, non-chainey atmosphere, to boot.“
“This is my favorite coffee shop in Asheville! I usually get a cappuccino, drip coffee, and one of the pastries and they are all fantastic. Ash always makes a perfect cappuccino with properly steamed milk.I’ll often hang out for an hour or two to work in the cozy cafe. I’ve also brought my three year old to the cafe and she thoroughly enjoyed her experience!“
“I got drip coffee - a local brew - which was absolutely delicious and hands down 5 stars. I gave the food a 3 star rating because unfortunately the breakfast sandwich was soggy, bland, and frankly inedible. I would however go back and get the coffee again and try something else from the menu. The breakfast brownie for example looked very good.“
“After a great dinner, we walked around checking out different shops and looking for a cookie to take back to our hotel. It was our first time in Asheville visiting friends who moved here over a year ago. This was a very popular spot for an evening snack. They had all the classic pastries that you’d hope for, including cheesecakes, key lime pies, cookies. We were pleased and came out with one pastry and 2 chocolate dipped peanut butter cookies. They were fantastic!“
“such a cool tour, Franco was our tour guide and he was so funny and made a good environment to ask questions! really cool that they allow tours and the info they share is really interesting! it’s free and not super long so it’s a fun short thing to do, plus they have good merch and a cute cafe in “
“Stopped here on a road trip and didn’t want to leave. Chuck, the owner, is a delight and an insanely talented artist. We had a nice chat while he prepared our lattes (which were some of the best we’d ever had), and what a delight! I’d be a regular if I didn’t live on the wrong coast.“
“Absolutely love this place! Almost scared to rate it so high and encourage others to stop in. But they truly do deserve it. Wonderful staff always available to answer questions and give insight on their vast menu of specialty cocktails and Mezcal flights. Amazing atmosphere offering both inside and outside seating with heaters to take the edge off the winter temperatures. It is a small building/occupancy but I think it truly adds to the ambience of the space. And to top it off the food truck parked just behind is amazing.Parking: Lot between the brewery and Anoche has plenty of parking. Also a few spots on the street.Kid-friendliness: Not a location I would recommend taking your kiddos.“
“Chaunie’s is absolutely the best place to go for coffee! I’m a daily regular that can’t get enough of the coffees and tacos. My personal favorites are the cold brew with salted caramel and house made oat milk, hot mocha, caramel lattes, and tacos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“This place was amazing to discover while staying in flat rock for the week. Enjoyed some food and drinks while playing some board games that we never played. Love the concept of the store. Getting away from the devices and spend some quality time like the good old days.“
“A quaint little local spot sporting a delicious selection of coffees, espresso, and pastries. We had a drip coffee, a pour over, and two different croissants and everything tasted great. The pour over didn't have the cleanest pull, but that's only if I'm nitpicking. The atmosphere was calm and inviting, but also bustling enough that I could study or work and enjoy the background as white noise. Our little breakfast was scored by Cage the Elephant's album Social Cues and then some late 2010s J-Pop, which helped make the experience feel cinematic. Definitely will be adding this to the itinerary again next time we visit. We also bought a cute mug to celebrate the occasion!“
“The atmosphere and drinks were amazing! However we arrived around 5 o’clock and were told no coffee after 4pm - but they had coffee for cocktails. It was upsetting for our designated driver who was looking forward to enjoying a coffee while we had cocktails. Hoping this rule will change so we can enjoy a responsible night out in the future!“
“My husband and I found this through AirBnB. Honestly 12/10, Toni really knows her stuff, and was so sweet. We learned so much and had a blast getting to brew our own coffees. I’ve already recommended to multiple friends, such a fun day date activity!!!“
“Simply the best place for a lunch or a breakfast! Also the new brunch is fab. Nothing like a mosaic sandwich sitting outside during the summer watching Biltmore park thrive. The staff is amazing, the food is exactly what you want, the atmosphere is lovely and full of good smells and love. If there is a Mosaic fan club I am a proud board member.“
“Nice downtown coffeehouse that was open on the weekend. Beautiful interior, marble tabletops and walnut paneling. Baristas were very knowledgeable and service was great even though it was about to close. Will definitely be back to try all of the coffee.“
“Recently went to Asheville for a long weekend vacation. We had our breakfast at Owl every single morning! All of the baked goods, sweet and savory, rival anything found anywhere. Delicious lattes are served by the most charming staff! I would drive back to Asheville just to visit this beautiful bakery.“
“I only had a latte, but it was terrific! Lovely little coffee shop, I've passed by it many times, only on the way to someplace& usually in the evening after they've closed. I had no food, but definitely will visit there again to try their “
“Not to sound dramatic, but I legit had the best chai I’ve ever had here and their coffee is just as amazing. The perfect accompaniment while you hunt for treasures at Tobacco Barn! The owners are awesome humans to boot. Highly recommend!“
“Love stopping by here when I'm out shopping. Always fast no matter the line/crowd. Great place to bring your friends from out of town too. Cash only but prices are super reasonable and there are ATMs nearby. Super cute patio with both sun and shade. I love their signature crème brulee latte iced!“
“All thanks to Mr Ralph Carico, the best expert trading platform. I started trading with him and watched my profits grow daily with his amazing skills And good management, I made a withdrawal without being charged a fee. Stock trading is the best I'm really indebted and Grateful for your good work and service. I highly recommend Ralph Carico to you all, Kindly contact him“
“Super cute coffee shop! they have pretty crystal jewelry inside and the Joey sandwich is delicious! The food was super good and the cashier (he had on cool red heart glasses) was super nice and accommodating! visiting from Florida and this is a cute find!!!“
“The sort of thing you would expect to find in Asheville, this is a retro shop that prints vinyl records and also has a large cafe. I missed the tour, but stopped in for a quick bite. Their chai was heavily spiced with an intriguing flavor and only a hint of tea aftertaste. The pastry they had on display actually wasn't that great, but I took a nice and chewy chocolate chip cookie to go. The cafe was large and would be a nice place to sit.“
“High Five Coffee in Asheville lives up to its funky vibe with an amazing warm banana chocolate chip muffin that's simply divine. Their coffee is excellent, and the service is always friendly. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a must-visit spot for coffee lovers!“
“Amazing coffee, unique specialty selections along with delicious breakfast options. Including a vegan creamer cheese/pimento cheese. Offers alt. Milks. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Very clean.It is also a victim of its success with sometimes it being so busy there is little space to sit and crowding to move around. High five is the real deal!My favorite has been, "The Storm" double espresso, hot with oatmilk and a kick of Cayenne.Vegetarian options: Vegan cream cheese/ pimento spreadOat milk optionsCroissants, bagels.“
“This was my first time at this cool little coffee shop. The person working was friendly and helpful, even though she had a lot of people coming in and out. The drip coffee was fresh and tasted great. While I didn't eat anything today, they have several gluten free/vegan options for muffins and breakfast bars. Their smoothies seem popular with the people who just finished their yoga class at the studio two doors down.I'm looking forward to coming back to try their Gluten free options!“
“Recently went to Asheville for a long weekend vacation. We had our breakfast at Owl every single morning! All of the baked goods, sweet and savory, rival anything found anywhere. Delicious lattes are served by the most charming staff! I would drive back to Asheville just to visit this beautiful bakery.“
“THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO STOP HERE!☕️?such an incredible atmosphere and delicious coffee & chai!! The chai is so flavorful and the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. (Not the cheapo plain cinnamon kind ya know?) Also the staff were so kind. I purchased some last minute Christmas gifts too (a super cute car diffuser, some coffee beans, a tshirt, and some local matcha!) they had an awesome set up and I’ll definitely be coming back.“
“We had brunch here around 10am on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately. There was enough delay before being greeted by our waiter that we had looked over the entire menu and went ahead and ordered food with our drinks. Everything came out in a reasonable time. The French toast only comes with 1 piece which is unfortunate because it was very good. The eggs were under seasoned, but the portions were very generous because of the amount of sides given. All of the food was good but you are definitely paying a premium for the location and atmosphere (eating outside on a patio downtown).“
“I visited here twice when I was in town. When your friend says their blueberry sourdough pancakes would be her "death meal", you make a point to try it! The service was friendly and welcoming. I asked if their chai was pre-made and they said it was, but it was from a local tea brewer, not boxed from the store. I also asked if it was pre-sweetened, which it was... And normally I would not have a chai that is from concentrate especially when presweetened; but, the staff told me it was more spicy than sweet and I'm glad I ordered it. It was a very flavorful and not too sweet chai. I also ordered the sourdough pancake. It was cooked in a cast iron pan and crispy on the exterior... Very different and intriguing! It was cooked with fresh blueberries in it and it was topped with some sea salt and butter with a side of real maple syrup. I enjoyed the flavor and the crispness of the pancake. However, since it was cooked in the cast iron in butter, it was a bit too buttery for me even with taking off the cut of butter that came on top. (Note: I typically do not put any butter on pancakes.) Also, parts of it were still a little doughy for me. All in all though, I liked that it was a very different pancake than I've ever had before and I would eat it again. They offer indoor and outside seating as well as take out.“
“A group of friends and I in desperate need of coffee stumbled on this place while on a girls trip in Asheville, and we were not disappointed! Most of our group got Chai Lattes, I got a Lavender Latte, iced. The shop is so sweet; there's ample room to sit and hang out, and even a drive-through if you're in a hurry! How cool for a little local shop! The folks working and making beverages were so sweet and patient with us as we decided what to get. Guys, I got to the bottom of my iced latte and realized my ice cubes were brown. They took the extra step of adding coffee ice cubes to my drink so even down to the last drop was delicious. Definitely suggest this little Gem if you're heading through Asheville and need a refuel!“
“I believe food prices in general have gotten out of hand. $4.85 for a 6" burrito with hardly anything on it is a little steep in my book. Don't go in hungry or you will pay more and eat more. I had two egg, bacon, and cheese burritos. They were exactly that. The green salsa did make it a little different. The salsa was good. I don't know when they are busy, but I can imagine parking being horrendous. There isn't much parking. The restaurant is in an old building and you can definitely smell the mustiness in the air. I don't have the best hearing and there was a lot of noise behind the cashier, but I could not hear a word the cashier said. Interesting that they would like you to provide a tip up front when you order, but then you sit down and there is a sign that says, "Please bus your table." What was my tip for?“
“Perfect place for coffee and bagels before a busy day. This is a true espresso experience—first time I’ve seen a cortado on a menu since I was the one making them—so don’t expect Starbucks style macchiatos. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re staying at the Renaissance hotel (it’s a five minute walk away).“
“this was a awesome places but after them hearing a friend of mine set off a small fire work at a show that didn't even involve them tom the owner only banned us but also startes harassing his employees for associating with us outside of work which is a big no no and has also been band from other venues cause he has been saying we are anarchist and harassing people to not allow us into places. good job, does he even know what sovereign means lol.“
“This place is a rare gem. It’s unique and quirky in a world of sameness. The raised, lounge area is sunny and comfortable and a great place to sip a coffee, work, or play.My son loves the free video games and gluten free doughnuts. They have some of the best prices on vintage albums in the city and an eclectic offering of cute, funky, and fun toys and collectibles.The place also serves as a kind of community center and hosts all kinds of events from movies and game nights, to open mic nights, all displayed on a huge Chalkboard calendar.It’s homey and real feeling and a refreshing respite from hipster cafes with pretentious baristas charging $7 for a cup of foam.We have a lot of lgtbq safe spaces in this city, which this place definitely is, but where can nerds go to feel safe? The answer is the Elder Dragon, aka, The Nerd Dungeon.Dietary restrictions: Gf doughnutsKid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and love this place.Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level, no steps“
“Izzy’s is the best! I was actually on my way out of Asheville and left my wallet in the shop. When I realized, I was already states away. They were so kind and actually shipped my wallet to my home in Texas!! Not to mention I had an absolutely fire London Fog latte while I was there. 10/10“
“While the cafe does not have any food options, the drinks are incredible. You can opt in or out of CBD in most of the drinks. The atmosphere is comfortable, with good music and tasteful decoration. Service is swift and the workers are polite and attentive. For the quality and comfort, the prices (4-8$ per drink) are very reasonable.Vegetarian options: As the menu mostly consists of drinks (coffee and tea), it is vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: There are options without CBD for children, and the high is not the focus. A calm environment without any dangers.Dietary restrictions: There are options without milk for the lactose intolerant.“
“Awesome local black-owned business. Every time I step inside the front door, there is the smell of coffee and the good energy of local entrepreneurs working to make a difference. Bruce Waller Jr. co-owner is a good friend and excellent resource, super motivated to make his community a better place. I'd recommend stopping in, hanging out, and tipping well!“
“This spot is ALWAYS one of the TOP 3 ⭐️ ? I visit, ??NATIONWIDE??, baby! The coffee is better & warmer, their food is waaaaay better, their service is superior, ✨restrooms✨!!Obviously this store sees a huge increase in traffic just due to their location (Biltmore area & the ‘Home’, schools, hospitals, mall & other shopping, etc, etc, etc).Parking: Parking is free, but at peak hours it CAN be difficult. Just be patient, park somewhere you aren’t blocking others, pre-order (if possible) & jet. You won’t have too much of a problem! Just be smart about it.Wheelchair accessibility: It’s there up front & the walk & entrances are very accessible. Should be able to use it with no issue.“
“Great team of employees here. They made some awesome recommendations. Yummy in my tummy as my child says. Food was made right in front of us, so hot and fresh, tough to beat these donuts once you've had them!! Get the maple bacon. Thank me later!“
“Great coffee and chai. Amazingly fast for the quality. Every barista I encountered was friendly and skilled. The art is quality and affordable. The vibe is uniquely edgy yet inviting. My favorite coffee bar I found in Asheville. I visited a few times- all with exceptional service and drinks.“
“i have been a regular at elevated kava for about a year now, and i have come to know this place as my second home. every kavatender is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, the environment is so cozy and artsy, and i truly feel a "come as you are" vibe. i've tried every other kava bar in asheville and none feel quite the same. their product is top notch and the atmosphere is the most inviting out of any of the other kava lounges i've tried. 10/10 recommend, love love LOVE this spot!!! the downtown location is just as lovely :)“
“I have never written a yelp review, but I feel Chocolate Fetish is worthy. I went in today to get Valentine's Day candy for family and got a few pieces for myself. I was blown away. The frogs, or turtles are absolutely amazing. The caramel is soft and bursting with flavor. I'm going to head back and get a few more of those. I can't wait to share the rest with my family.“
“This is my favorite spot for cake doughnuts in town. Asheville definitely has a great food scene and it’s nice to see this place exist within that!They have good coffee options as well in case you like to dunk your cake doughnuts like me!The location is fun since it’s walkable to everything else in the downtown scene. If you haven’t tried Vortex you should definitely give it a shot (and then multiple after that).“
“We ordered a ice cream cake from this location and pickup was downtown Asheville....absolutely worth the price. It was some of the freshest ice cream I have ever tasted. The service was outstanding...Greg the gentlenen who assisted with the order was very professional and willing to make sure the it was done in the time I needed and done as ordered on line. Emails were promptly answered. Ambiance...not applicable because pickup was curbside. Will absolutely return and get a bigger ice cream that and not just for a birthday. Thank you for assisting in helping us celebrate my husband's 60th birthday!“
“This place is so great that we ate breakfast there every morning that we were in Asheville. On day one I had the Goat of Monte Cristo. They put their homemade raspberry preserve on it and it was mouth watering. I actually asked if I could buy a jar of it and bless their hearts they sold me a jar of the preserve, which is something that they don't normally do. Thanks you so much again. I am enjoying it at home now. Everything we ate was excellent, every day. They are located in the Grove Arcade Building. DON'T MISS IT!!!!“
“cool and original atmosphere, like the vast majority of cafes in Asheville, they grind and sell selected coffees freshly. I tried a special coffee with pepper, but Batista exaggerated a little with it ?, I just don't give a+ for that, in the most excellent place.“
“I order somewhere around 12-15 bouquets from Flora every year. Nothing compares in Asheville. Not only are they the most beautiful arrangements in town, they are also the sweetest people. I had to put my pup down and realized I hadn’t pre-ordered flowers for my mom whose birthday is tomorrow. I’m a mess and the idea of driving to pick up flowers was almost insurmountable. They made it work and delivered the most stunning flowers to me so I can take them to her tomorrow. So grateful. Love you, Flora ❤️“
“Being a barista in the obx I’m a tad picky about my coffee. These guys are awesome! My wife and I loved our coffees and our breakfast sandwiches even more! Blueberry goat cheese w prosciutto was delightful! Will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town!“
“Coffee is very sweet and yummy! I really enjoyed my egg and cheese bagel. So good I didn't even take a picture because I dug right in. Definitely want to come back and get another egg and cheese bagel soon. Soooo delicious and a great breakfast stop.“
“I looove Bee Thai! Love that the new chef is honoring the tradition of excellence in Thai food that Little Bee laid out ahead of him, while bringing a new spin with a menu full of a mix of traditional Thai options and classics (like my favorite pineapple rice:)). Super quick on takeout orders too. Love this place- will be a regular.“
“Food is incredible and the staff are all so lovely and friendly. Dining room is stunning and best of all, free parking! The private label wine that is 1/2 off on Wednesdays is amazing. Such a good spot for business lunches, cozy dinners and the patio is dog-friendly!“
