“so cute inside and such delicious drinks! everyone was super nice, great service! i will be back soon! 💜“

“Had a great Saturday lunch at First Watch in Arden with a group of five. The service was amazing from start to finish, with great attention to detail and a team that really made us feel taken care of.

I started with the Morning Meditation drink with ginger, orange, lemon, and turmeric—it was a refreshing way to kick things off. I ordered the special maple bacon croissant sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The bacon jam was literally oozing out of the sandwich, and I absolutely loved it!

Great food, excellent service, and a really enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“Absolutely delicious. Got the omelet and the French toast and it was phenomenal“

“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. So let’s text and so rich I had to take my time eating it. My husband got a shaved ice that was like nothing we’d ever had before., so refreshing and fun.“

“Food is fantastic.
You order at the counter and then find a seat. No wait. Server brought it out quickly after we sat down within a few minutes.
Biscuits are large and fresh with a nice crust outside, lite and fluffy inside. I had the classic, 2 eggs, (over easy), fried potatoes (crispy and not greasy),all three meats (country ham — leaner than spiral, more salty, but good! Chopped sausage — tye good kind that looks like a smash burger. Very lean, good mix of herbs and spices. The bacon was lean, thick, crispy). Plate had a radiccio, friesse and radish salad.
Topped it off with a cortada — great meal to start the day.

Nice place in door or outside.
Recommend solidly!“

“Super friendly folks in a great location. Get yourself a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board and have a great afternoon. Highly Recommend.“

“Fast friendly service! Great vibes“

“Awesome food and wonderful staff. Locally owned“

“I’m a wedding planner and recently worked with 67 Biltmore’s catering team on a wedding. Their sales manager was phenomenal- handling changes and accommodations like a champ throughout the planning process! And their day of team was on top of things - they were so wonderful and helpful and the food was great. I would definitely recommend them!“

“Amazing food, way cheaper than going out and also much healthier! They source almost exclusively from local farms and vendors and mills, and they have a ton of gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian options (and also locally sourced meat options). Dinners are roughly $25 for two servings, and you know you're eating healthy and local - very worth it for nights you don't have time to cook but don't want to pay to go out!“

“Delicious high quality food presented by super owners. Everything can be made vegan. Loved it!“

“My husband and I had dinner at Filo for the first time tonight. To say it was amazing is an understatement. The food, drink, and our overall experience rivaled the popular downtown restaurants where we've dined, including James Beard Award nominees and winners. The service was stellar. Filo is a gem in East Asheville. We look forward to dining at Filo again! We hope you will dine there, too!!“

“Good people, good fellowship.“

“Omg what a great quaint restaurant. Everything was fabulous and so affordable. Decor was something I haven’t seen before y’all need to check it out!“

“The food is so good! Had a BBLT and hazelnut latte and it was fantastic. Highly recommend!“

“Brandi took us on an amazing tour! 💯 recommend!“

“I had the pleasure of getting to visit the Blue Sky food truck today at The Blueridge Beer Garden. Firstly, the service *chefs kiss* It looked like it was just one man doing it all and he was just killing it on all sides. I got the burger with cheese and a side of onion rings, and he even threw in some fries because he felt like the onion ring amount wasnt up to his standards (I came in towards the end and got the last order) which is something I commend on the chef for doing. Everything I ate was phenomenal! 100% will recommend to anyone wanting quality, quantity, and just good ole kindness in there life.“

“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 morning, I stopped by for a coffee and something to eat after being disappointed with the breakfasts offered by hotel chains.

I was pleasantly surprised by the outstanding service and an absolutely delicious cup of coffee. The flavor was a bit on the light side for my taste, so I added two extra shots, and it turned out perfect.

The bread was spectacular—fresh, crispy, topped with tomato, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced.

Thank you for offering such a wonderful product and experience!“

“Super yummy place and super cute environment.“

“Amazing little establishment“

“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!!!!“

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

“The best coffee shop in town“

“Visiting from Canton Ohio & we stopped in to enjoy a cup of chai & matcha tea at Farewell. Atmosphere is cool, boho chic & relaxing. By far the best chai I ve had yet ! Looking forward to stopping again my next visit to Asheville 😉“

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

“Awesome !!! Food great staff !!“

“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“

“buen lugar buen ambiente“

“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“

“Great breakfast, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Biscuits were amazing and the sausage gravy to die for!“

“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.

“We had so much fun today!!!!!“

“If I was trapped on a desert island and had only one thing I could take with me, it would be a breakfast crunchwrap from Simple. It’s simply the best.“

“mmmmm mmmmmm good, live this place, always clean!!“

“These three employees there are just wonderful. Landon was the person who packaged my order, and he and the person making the sandwiches named “Bri” were very amazing, and my order was packed well with care. So much so that I told the person leading the shift, whose name was surprisingly also Landon that the employees were doing a fantastic job. He was very nice and respectful to me, and very appreciative of the reviews, a hard working gentleman. I don’t come often to Panera because of the price, but the employees here have made my visit special and I will return again. Whoever owns this store, you have done a fantastic job with your employees, and I respect you very much.“
