43 Best Cafes near Biltmore Forest

“I was very surprised with this place... The food was freshly prepared and served with a large portion... They do not have table service.. You order and pay at the counter.. Food items were moderately priced and service was fairly fast... We had thunder storms the day we visited and had to eat inside..but they have great outdoor seating with nice views of the gardens.“

“It's a very cute and comfortable dessert cafe to stop by and chill with friends and family. We had the mango shaved ice and some eclair and macarons. And we really loved the mango shaved ice, it had the perfect sweetness level to it, every topping is combined perfectly with each other and this dessert definitely suits very well with the sunny weather!“

“What an adorable hidden gem tucked off the street. Outdoor setting is dog friendly. Pups even got a treat. Owner is delightful. I had homemade vegetable beef soup and some mixed greens with a vinaigrette. My husband had a tuna melt sandwich. Highly recommend“

“I love this local coffee destination!! It has such personality and uniqueness! I love the specialty drinks that you can only find here AND they have gluten-free baked goods (I highly recommend the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffin). The chai latte is delish as well. I wish there were some more privacy seating for those who want to get some work done or those who want to meet a friend and chat … the seating is all in one open room, cozy feeling but open.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free baked goods ??“

Plenty of outdoor seating, I also saw a few doggos sitting outside with their humans.“

“I went here for a bagel pop-up in Feb, and it was the best bagel I've had in the area. The cream cheese options were unique and delicious. My boyfriend got the lox bagel and loved it. The employees were super friendly and fast. The only downside is that there's no indoor seating, and all the outdoor seating was taken. This is definitely more of a grab and go place.Parking: Large free parking lot. It's gravel, so it could be a bit muddy if it's been wet.“

“The chef collaborations and upcoming events at Ivory Road are a foodies paradise! The space was recently updated. It's cozy and welcoming. Each space, in the home turned restaurant, offers community seating with exceptional service for a one of a kind experience. Stay tuned for their new offerings and curated menus. Brunch yesterday was next level. Thank you chef's TT and Jill.“

“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.“

“Their bread is perfect. The cheddar scallion biscuits are phenomenal. Get there early as they do run out of baked goods, which is a great sign of sustainability and quality. Good tea and coffee. Excellent all around bakery and coffee shop with ample seating and clean restrooms.“

“We had a delightful meal for a reunion of sorts. I chose Laughing Seed because only one of our party of six is a vegan, the rest "omnivores." We each ordered something different from the menu, and everyone loved their meals. I have eaten here several times before and always enjoy the great food and the pleasant ambiance. Our waiter was gracious. He was patient as we all gathered and caught up with each other. He was kind enough to take a photo of us at the table and was thoughtful enough to suggest taking another photo by the mural after our meal. Table photos are always awful, with the people in front huge and the ones in back tiny. So I appreciate that he volunteered to get a good photo of us all. A nice momento of a wonderful evening.“

“Love everything about Penny Cup. Coffee is amazing and Kora loves the Pup Cups ☕️“

“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!“

“What a very lovely place to stop and grab an ice cream cone and sit on the big front porch and just enjoy your Ice cream and the cool breeze blown across the porch. Service is great and the ice cream is delicious! I highly recommend the chocolate rasberry truffle.“

“This place and the folks who run it are fantastic. I like to visit as often as possible for lunch, which is served each weekday and is donation based. The food is delicious, healthy and filling. There is almost always a meet and a veggi option for main dish, as well as several sides and deserts to chose from. The people are welcoming and friendly I would recommend this place to anyone interested or in need of a fantastic hot meal.“

“Granny's is our favorite "Best Kept Secret"!! Awesome cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chili, tater tots and old fashioned crinkle fries!! We always enjoy our food and our visit. Customer Service is tops! dine-in area is small, but they stay very busy with drive-through and carry-outs. Love it!!“

“LOVED the artfully crafted pastries and the delicious savory offerings here. Friendly customer service with great value for the price, too. Really enjoyed the pretzel turkey sandwich (warmed) with flavorful sesame noodles (highly recommend both!). Finished off our lunch with some delicious sweets- the truffles melt in your mouth and the coffee cake is balanced with spice. Really look forward to dining here again.“

“Awesome !!! Food great staff !!“

“We loved this place. The owner ( although he said his wife was the owner, maybe he was joking) made the experience really fun. He was very funny and also helpful as we were new to the area. He really kept us entertained. (But it was encouraged, he was not overly intrusive at all) The food was delicious. Fresh beautifully arranged on the plate and at a very good price. I wish we lived closer I would go back for dinner. He was smoking ribs that afternoon and they smelled delicious. Overall great experience. Enjoyed sitting on the beautiful patio where many people had their pets with them.I would highly recommend this place.“

“Macarons were perfect! They were very prompt with communication and timing. Grabbed some sushi while I was picking up and loved the crab Rangoon!“

“I sit here and watch the line roll out of Sunny Point and I can't help but chuckle that I'm enjoying the peace, tranquility, and deliciousness of Simple Cafe. From lox and bagel to their crunch wrap or smoothies, everything I've ever had here has been DIVINE.“

“I always enjoy my visits to the candler location. The staff are friendly and chatty. The quiche is really good and I also enjoy their bagels. They say they bake their own goods and I believe them. Baked goods are also tasty. Coffee tastes...like coffee. That's a good thing.“

“Very nice little coffee shop. The location is great and has a decent amount of free parking around and near the building.The inside has lots of seating and is nicely decorated in a minimal style, and the space has lots of natural lighting.The works are friendly and the offerings at the coffee shop are good. I got a rose latte and a cinnamon oat cookie. The latte was 6-7$ after tip and the cookie was 5$.The music they play isn’t too loud and the general ambiance is nice. One of the best coffee shops in Asheville in my opinion :)Kid-friendliness: Has a corner of toys for child entertainment.“

“Service was so friendly and quick, sandwich hit the spot and the pickled green tomatoes were the bomb!“

“Great coffee, pleasant people working there“

“John F has single handedly saved my first experience at the GPI. My 2 kids and I have traveled across country from Wisconsin to Chapel Hill after packing up my childhood home for a month after my parents passed away. I was exhausted after a 9 hour drive to Asheville and decided to book a room here as a special treat. When we arrived it rained and despite accepting the pouring rain we didn't get any sympathy or help except for John who listened to me rant and bought me a glass of wine. Bottom Line - Thank You John“

“In town for the ArborFest, my friend and I were eager to discover a breakfast spot that could offer a hearty meal and a glimpse into the local dining scene. Another Broken Egg Cafe caught our attention, and we arrived shortly after opening, hopeful for a good start to our day. The cafe didn't disappoint; we were met with a friendly welcome that echoed the inviting atmosphere, making it clear this place was a local gem.Promptly seated and with our drink orders swiftly taken care of, I decided to have the Supreme Omelet accompanied by a side of sausage. The dish was flavorful and satisfyingly filling; it was everything I could ask for in a breakfast. The omelet, in particular, was a standout.As the morning progressed, the cafe quickly filled with locals, adding a vibrant buzz and affirming its popularity among the town's residents. This transformation from a quiet morning spot to a bustling community hub enhanced our dining experience with a genuine sense of place.Based on this visit, I recommend Another Broken Egg Cafe to anyone searching for a quality breakfast experience. Whether you're a visitor in town for an event or a local looking to rediscover the joys of a well-made morning meal, this cafe promises to serve great food and a warm and welcoming atmosphere.“
