50 Best Coffee Shops in Asheville

“I wanted a good brunch spot before exploring Asheville. I found Flour and read the reviews. According to the reviews, the bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was a must-try because of how delicious and crispy the biscuit was. I wanted to see for myself how delicious this biscuit was, and I agree with the reviews. This biscuit combo was delicious!

I loved how the top of the biscuit was crispy while the inside was fluffy and tasty. The biscuit wasn’t dry, and the bacon was delicious with the melted cheese and egg. The potatoes were also delicious and crispy, especially with the aioli.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. I received my order quickly, within 5 minutes. I will definitely come back to Flour when I visit Asheville again!“

“The only thing I don't like here is that the hours are bad! But that is IT.

I stumbled across Bad Manners just walking around, I live in west avl and I didn't even realize it was here! The location is nice because you can park in the mini lot in front of the store, or in ingles next door. Plus, it's right next to bottiwalla and a cute thrift store that I can't remember the name of (and of course all the other thrift spots in west Asheville!). I like the baristas here they are really nice, and the seating is limited but cute. They have a decent selection of gluten free things for the ratio of how much food they have in general- it's not a lot but it's the basics and something to munch on. All of the drinks I've tried here have been great!

Matcha is not perfect, it looks really green on top for the hot matcha but once you stir it's paler. But it's one of the better matchas in Asheville! It had a nice flavor and wasn't grainy. I would get it again.

I like that they do a punch card for rewards too! It's a cute spot“

“They have a lot of vegan options! The environment is beautiful too with lots of plants ❤️“

“The Hot Chocolate Freeze was delicious!“

“Amazing place❤️ smells like use to be cafes in Poland. Tried Eclair very good and macarons with cappucino melting in mouth. Yumm yumm yumm...❤️❤️“

“Seriously.. the best honey lavender matcha in Asheville and the drive-thru is so convenient! Whenever I have friends in town, this is where we get our Saturday morning pick-me-up ☺️“

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.“

“Best doughnuts I’ve ever had. Kind of tastes like it has a croissant outer crust. I am so grateful I don’t live next to here.“

“cozy atmosphere, 1st time coming in but was greeted like they knew us as old time friends. The sweet treats and coffee were awesome! highly recommend if in the Asheville/ Candler/Waynesville area“

“Worth stopping in to relax and unwind. Seasonal coffee tastes great! Highly recommend.“

“AMAZING customer service!!! These guys rock!!! And I haven’t even tried the coffee yet!!! Order some NOW while homebound!!!“

“Worth stopping in to relax and unwind. Seasonal coffee tastes great! Highly recommend.“

“Best cold dirty chai ever! Service was fantastic and quick. I wish I knew about this place sooner!“

“I am a foodie/food-snob. I admit it. I am so often disappointed by my restaurant experiences. Last night, my partner and i had one of the best meals in Asheville we can remember. Bold, sensual, well-balanced dishes (somewhere in the neighborhood Charleston's Xiao Bar Biscuit). Off the hook (if a little pricey) wine list.“

“The BEST coffee The BEST environment The BEST employees If you have heard different, it's wrong!! 💕“

“Great coffee and hard working staff“

“Our lunch today was outstanding! Amazing flavors and three of us shared 4 items. Hunter was so accommodating and nice today, we will be back!“

“I love this new location! The baristas yesterday did such a good job on such a busy saturday. There were only 3 people working the front and one on bar (she did amazing and my drink was so good). They all did such a good job with all of the chaos and keeping everyone’s orders straight. The vibes were immaculate. Thank you all!“

“My fav coffee shop in West AVL! The staff are friendly, the 70s decor vibes are amazing, and the handmade drinks never disappoint. They also usually feature some fun latte flavor combinations and incredible vegan pastries from Back Porch Baking Co.“

“Friendly service, great coffee!“

“the san Antonio blend is the absolute best whole bean coffee i have bought for my home brew espresso. im going to be getting autoship every 2 weeks. I can already see it.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor. Una bebidas 🍷 súper deliciosas 🥰🥰“

“Super cute. We are from England originally and thought it was really cool.“

“We spent the week in Asheville...Izzy’s was the best coffee we had by far. Thanks“

“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!“

“Fantastic breakfast sandwiches. Love this spot!“

“very neat place! creative decor & drinks kratom/kava/games etc! Good alternative if you're looking for a change of pace from your usual hangouts“

“my favorite place for years <3“

“The best tacos in the world!!!“

“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!!!!“

“I go to Izzy's on Lexington regularly. It's my favorite coffee shop in Asheville. Usually Rand is the barista when I show up and he's great at his job and he's warm and friendly. The coffee is good and the baked goods (especially the fig and olive scone) are delicious. The coffee shop has great art that rotates, local artists are supported. I would recommend Izzy's to anyone and have nothing but good things to say about it.“

“Awesome food and wonderful staff. Locally owned“

“Decided to try a new spot, and happy I did! Rich flavor profile coffee, sweet people, clean space. Step off the main street and try Deep Time.“

“the san Antonio blend is the absolute best whole bean coffee i have bought for my home brew espresso. im going to be getting autoship every 2 weeks. I can already see it.“

“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.“

“Today was a very special experience. I called and spoke with Casey and after our brief call and her positive tone and eagerness to help, it was clear that I could get out of the house, not isolate, and come and work with her in person. My fur-baby of over 15 years crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. I was seeking a special plant to deliver to the caregivers at a local daycare that have helped me so much with him these last several weeks to say thank you and have some additional closure and share kindness in the midst of one of the hardest days that I could imagine, although I knew that this time was soon to come. Casey welcomed me into her shop and supported me with much empathy, kindness, and grace to help shop for the caregivers, but also a beautiful orchid for myself and some candles to light in his memory over this upcoming long weekend where I’ll be inside. I was able to get a new journal just to write this weekend about memories of him. Casey surprised me with something unexpected as well to express the condolences of Flora. Keep in mind that I had never been to Flora before, I am new to Asheville, and sometimes the most genuine kindness can come from people and places that you may least expect it. I do have another dog that is a rescue and I would like to know if the shop is dog-friendly. I would love to come there on the weekends sometime and have a coffee and feel held and know that I belong in a place of such pawsitivity and acceptance. Be like Casey! Be Kind! The world needs more kindness and compassion now than ever before. I will be a routine customer and I highly recommend that you all visit this business when possible. You will not regret it! Thank you Casey, Thank you Team Flora! I haven’t made the time to write a review in a long time for a place of business as I do not believe that negative reviews are too useful, but this service today was amazing and worth sharing. Keep sharing that kindness each day with each customer. It is noticed and immensely appreciated! With immense gratitude, Matthew“

“Best cold brew and blueberry muffin I’ve had in a long time served by incredibly kind employees! ☕️“

“This StarBucks set the standard. The staff is always so kind and even remember my name. I work remotely here a lot and often just like to chill outside on there.. awesome.. outside covered area. Manager Chelsea Burdick is top gun. She is always happy and kind and obviously is skilled at hiring similar quality people.“

“This is the first time we have ever visited a place where the donuts were made fresh to order however you like them. They were AMAZING! Since we had never been there before, we weren't really sure what we were doing. The clerk showed us a card with all the options and also told us that we could create our own. We didn't really notice how to create our own until after we had ordered, so more explicit instructions would be helpful for newbies. However, I HIGHLY recommend this place!“

“I don't go to Starbucks very often, if ever, but the Ube Frappuccino totally drew me in! It was incredibly delicious, flavorful, and a super fun purple drink. Huge shoutout to the barista, Ethan, who was very kind and did an amazing job making it. Highly recommend checking this flavor out!“

“We had so much fun today!!!!!“

“Just left here and let me tell you, this place is going to be the next Game Xscape. Solid selection for a brand new place and wouldn't be surprised to see it double in size within a year. Will be back many, many, many more times.“

“I’ve always had such a great experience at Earthling Coffee! I was running a little late getting off one shift and heading into my night shift, and Cade stayed later without hesitation just to make my drink. That level of kindness and customer service truly means a lot. Everyone there is amazing, and they always go above and beyond. Thank you for making my day a little brighter!“

“They're wonderful bagels but would taste better if they didn't come burned (especially the cinnamon raisin) which makes the outside crumbly and the inside not so chewy.“

“NEWLY OPENED

So I decided to stop in, but decided to take it to go.

Small location with limited inside sitting available. Small patio with some tables and chairs. It was winter time when I visited so outside was NOT appealing to me at that time.

Seems more of a drive thru location that anything else.“

“I just stopped after googling the best place for coffee near me! Google did not do me wrong! It’s a cute little “hole in the wall” place, and the coffee… ❤️ the Barista (I’m sorry I didn’t get her name) was so welcoming and suggested a coffee on my tastes! And she made it so well. I am going to enjoy this and be sad that this place is 10 hours away from me! If you’re in the Asheville area…this is worth the stop!!“

“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“

“Today’s holiday cup with holiday drink is awesome!!! My niece-in-law & I communicated about these awesome cups just before I purchased mine. My nephew is stationed in Alabama and they are almost daily attendees of the local Starbucks there. I love Starbucks as a whole... utilizing for brunch greatly; & coffee very regularly... Especially most Wednesday’s, where my mother & I buy breakfast for us and our publisher; for our weekly meetings, working on our books. We alternate which location we stop at in the Asheville area, depending on our schedules otherwise, but it’s always Starbucks! 😎🤙“

“Best ice cream ever!! Their vegan pea-based ice creams are out of this world and with such unique and delicious flavors! I appreciate that The Hop gives so much back to our community as well. ❤️“
