33 Best Cafes near Candler

“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.“

“Finally found the Boba Fruit Milk Tea with poppers I have been wanting! 4 years ago tried Milk Fruit Boba tea on vacation but never found another place that made it similar around home. Just discovered this the other day! Staff were super helpful and answered all my questions. Mango milk boba tea was amazing. I would like to throw it out there and suggest for mango and strawberry flavors it would be cool if you could get tiny pieces of the fruit chopped up and mixed in with the poppers or boba. I can't wait to go back and try the pastries! Had a large beautiful selection of many tasty goodies. Definitely going to be a repeat customer for the milk boba tea. Conveniently located very close to the parking garage at 40 Coxe.“

“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 “

“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!“

“This place is hands down one of the best restaurants!The food is always excellent. I used to work here over 10 years ago, and to be able to honestly recommend anything on the menu, knowing people will leave happy was just the best! The decor is very eclectic and you can tell the owners have fun with it.The scallops are my absolute favorite, and the mussels never disappoint. My husband loves the lamb shank! And for dessert, the baklava ice cream cake is a must! Highly recommend!“

“Great Kava, Kratom, cbd, and a live dab bar! Your boi Beau the MariFairy knows how to run a nice, chill, and cannabis friendly environment I don’t drink alcohol so this is the place I needed to hang out you have to try the food! It’s delicious!“

“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.“

“Dang so good! I drop into this spot every time I'm in Asheville. It's a must go to if you want the best Cortado in town. It's right on the river so it has a beautiful setting. The baristas really know what they're doing on a pro level.“

“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.“

“Great coffee, pastries and to-go snacks. This was an awesome addition to Leicester but like some newer spots they aren't that busy yet. Support local! I really think the owners need to invest in better signs out front to draw in customers.“

“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.“

“Parking: During certain times of the day it's hard to find parking due to most residents parking near the restaurant, there is parking across the street at the school but I wouldn't recommend parking there especially as school dismisses because you will be stuck there.Kid-friendliness: I saw school aged children and toddlers as well. Plenty of outdoor seating, I also saw a few doggos sitting outside with their humans.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely fantastic place to eat. Each meal is incredibly flavorful, and the ambiance is pleasantly quirky. It is incredibly busy for a good reason, but the staff work efficiently to get you through the line. This is a must if you're in the Asheville area.“

“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).“

“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!!“

“This was a great find during our Biltmore Village afternoon. :) We we're not excited about other restaurants in the Village, with our daughter in tow. The bbq chicken flatbread was great, along with the side salad. My husband really liked his Turkey and bacon sandwich, which was a good size. The pretzel dog lacked a little flavor but our daughter happily enjoyed it. They had wine, which we would have happily ordered but we're too cold. ;) We got a hot drink instead.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

“Small local diner tucked in among all the chain places-easy to miss, but so glad we found it. From the coffee to the sausage patties, to the pancakes & the buttermilk biscuit, everything was delicious. Service was beyond great and the prices can't be beat.“

“We pre-ordered the Ploughman's Basket picnic after reading about it in Atlanta magazine. It was delicious! Highly recommended! Pictured: me with all the picnic stuff (except you can't really see the giant loaf of bread, the two cookies or the tote bag it all came in).“

“Very very good coffee. Got a latte and honey rose latte, both great.Pros: Espresso was fantastic, as well as the flavor offerings. House made syrups a plus. Wish they had a couple more, but the ones they have are great. They weigh their shots and are well trained. Great art on the latte. Vibe inside is clean, nice place to do some work and hangout. It's posh. Good service. Great amount of seating inside. They sell coffee brewing equipment and coffee beans to take home. Also, the cups they use for take-out are great quality.Cons: Not necessarily family friendly as it is very much white and black inside, very calm. Not a bad thing thats just their style. There is parking but can get crowded and limited as its on a street corner on a hill. Near Pie-zaa and other places, it can get busy around there.“

“Great place with great food and great vibe! Staff was friendly and service was quick. The avocado toast is the best I’ve ever tried. It’s hard to find a good açaí bowl but this one was one of the best I’ve ever had. They ran out of granola the second time I went, but they made sure to make me aware so they could make it right or I could change my order. I wound up getting extra blueberries on my bowl. Sometimes things run out on busy days (I had come later in the day on a Saturday), and I was impressed with how they made ensuring the situation was made right a priority. Absolutely excellent customer service out of these folks. They’ll be seeing me again soon as I’m heading back to Asheville tomorrow.Dietary restrictions: Options for gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian.Parking: Park at the Ingle’s grocery store and walk one block down.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with kids.“

“While at the North Carolina Arboretum, we decided to eat lunch here instead of going out to somewhere else. So the location is ideal. If you are planning on spending the day at the Arboretum. The menu is limited, but we each found something we liked. I had the chicken salad sandwich, our friends had the turkey sandwich, and Husband had the hotdogs. All meals came with chips. We had our water bottles, so we didn't need to buy a drink. If we had, there were canned sodas, and bottles of water in a nearby cooler. Friends' white bread was better than my whole grain bread. The whole grain bread was dense and I wanted to taste the chicken salad, so I skipped the bread and ate the chicken salad with a fork. We tried one of their cookies Dash a chocolate chip with walnut and nuts. It was very good. Aside from being pricey, the food was good, and the ambience was very nice. We liked the giant leaves over our heads, and the leaves on the windows.“

“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.“
