“Wonderful experience today it was our baby’s first time getting to go out and eat her first meal at 6 months old today and the staff was amazing! They made her day and the food was absolutely delicious I had my server pick for me the 2 that I was in a toss up in and she picked me the perfect dish to eat with the florentine skillet we will be back again everyone was friendly, quick and courteous and it’s hard to find that these days in our economy these ladies deserve the world today“

“Stopped in while visiting Asheville and it’s such a cool place. Great atmosphere and even greater treats. I had the gluten free chocolate cake and it was fantastic.

“Family-style, family-friendly, family-owned ice cream shoppe. There are so many wonderful sweet options and huge cases of Hershey's ice cream. There is also a lovely lunch menu with Nathan's hot dogs, sandwiches, and salads. There is cozy seating indoors and lots of fun spaces outdoors to sit (or swing) while eating. This is a place that has something for anyone in your family. The staff is very kind and very helpful.“

“This is one of the coolest coffee shops in town by far!! I love the Asheville themed hotel by Hilton that the coffee shop is located inside. It has amazing vibes. They have a huge chandelier in the lobby with amazing AVL inspired artwork on the walls to view while you sip your coffee. Or you can sit on their luxury couches under the chandelier, or you can sit at the coffee countertop which turns into a bar at night which is neat. Or you can sit outside along the sidewalk over looking the mountainous beautiful river arts district. It is dog friendly and they even have treats and a water bowl for our furry friends! I got the salted cinnamon mocha, and the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit. Natalia was our barista and she was very knowledgeable and kind. She handcrafted my drink to perfection. She stated that they have a pastry chef who makes all of their pastries from scratch and that all of their food items are from locally sourced ingredients from NC. The breakfast sandwich is huge!!!! And the biscuit wasn’t your typical biscuit, it was all natural and still just as delicious! And it’s enough for someone to split, which was nice because i just HAD to try my brothers goat cheese and roasted tomato croissant pocket which was very flaky and melt in your mouth. The best ever!!!! I hope they don’t ever get rid of those pockets ;) or this coffee shop!! Thanks!! See you again soon!“

“Very good food. I will visit again the next time I am in Asheville.“

“Nice spot for Saturday morning coffee with my pup“

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

“I want to do a shout out to a Sam’s Club employee at the Hendersonville location. Today I went to pick up one of my medications which normally is not that expensive. But because of a mix up it was going to be well over $375 for a months supply in stead of $25 for a 3 months supply. Christina work very hard with my insurance company and was able to get it worked out so I could have my life saving medication. The folks at Sam’s don’t always get the credit they deserve but for seniors this is the place to go for your meds. Christina, thank you from this Old Guy!!!!“

“The best coffee shop in town“

“There was a wonderful variety of items to choose from, it was difficult to decide. We would have gotten the jalapeño fries and cauliflower tacos but their main frier wasn’t working so we got the chorizo tacos, coconut curry and sweet potato Ruben which came with crispy homemade fries (they have a small frier that was working). We don’t enjoy vegan cheese that is made using Science so we opted for the cashew queso which was absolutely delicious. The tacos were our favorite item. The texture and taste were a solid 10 out of ten. Which made me miss trying the cauliflower tacos even more. The Ruben was our 2nd favorite. I usually have tempeh meat on a Ruben so I couldn’t imagine how they could make sweet potato taste “meaty” but they did. It was so delicious, I will be looking up how to make that “sweet potato meat” at home. The Thai Panang Curry was the only disappointment. It was fresh tasting and the tofu was fried to crispy perfection. It just needed more sauce. I got the Blackberry Ginger Mint mocktail. It was just the right amount of sour and was a beautiful presentation. Our only regret was not leaving room for dessert. If we lived in Asheville we would be regulars at this establishment. Our server was also Excellent! She was attentive without being intrusive. She pre-bussed the table and refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed another round and brought us our food perfectly timed! We went back the next day and had the Tostada Enchilada salad (it’s the choriso taco grown up), the Supreme pizza with no cheese (nice crispy crust and a good amount of sauce), the Amaretto Cherry Cheesecake (absolutely worth going back just for that!) the peanut butter cookie (the only disappointment) and the Lime Aid (perfecly balanced and not too sweet). But I preferred the one yesterday. Another wonderful server. Love this place! Updated from previous review on 2025-03-02“
