Lowest quality food for insane prices. Beyond bad. Also they make you pay for water and tap water isn’t an option. If I’m for paying $30+ per plate you’re going to charge me for water? Wow. Never going back. No wonder locals don’t come here.

This place could be one of the best brunch place in downtown Asheville but the overall experience was quite disappointing.

$25 shrimp grits should have some high quality ingredients with sensible touch from chefs but it tasted way worse than the most of other locally owned places. Who puts pineapple bits over dried lettuce next to the thick grits and overly sweet bacon? Am I in Florida?

Service was pretty bad. Didn’t even check on us even we were the only table there in the morning around 9am and didn’t give us water. My blood pressure went up like a kite after eating overly salty foods with no water. Got some after later but it was just a cheap tap water.

Just go to other places like the Rhu or Sunny Point Cafe for brunch if you want to feel like you spend your precious money the right way.

Not only is the coffee out of this world good but, the service is also exceptional. Very friendly staff and service. That alone would make me want to come back!

Did not open at 8 AM. Empty shop.

You are entitled to charge high prices which they do. This is evident on the menu posted outside. It gives you a choice to eat there or not.

But not allowing tapwater is unethical. You don’t find this out until you sit down. You are forced to buy expensive bottled water.

as expensive as the food is you should be allowed to have tap water.

I find this an odd business practice.

The attention to detail and quality of ingredients show in every sip and bite at Bombas! My Breakfast Margarita and Arepa Perico made one of the best breakfasts I have ever had in my life. Our brunch was perfectly matched with the cute atmosphere and beautiful music. This place is a highlight of our trip to Asheville!

The one who has a store that serves it. The waiter is not attentive to customers. The cashier has to do everything while talking to friends. They don't clean the counter and they don't have dishes like cakes or sweets to have with coffee and they send people an old Europe or green sage.
Also, it is almost always closed when there are a lot of people walking and other restaurants and cafes are open.
If you are the owner of this place please pay attention to your business.
