Citizen Vinyl Cafe • $
14 O'Henry Ave, Asheville

“Citizen Vinyl has such a great vibe. They take great pride in every aspect of the environment. On one side, you can watch records being pressed and on the other side enjoy artists sublimely mix flavors into amazing drinks. We were fortunate enough to meet and chat with the owners. They are really working to make a difference in the community as well as reshaping the record industry one disc at a time. The staff takes feast pride in everything they do even down the music spinning on the turntable. When you visit, and you cannot go thru Asheville without stopping by, in addition to taking in the pressing and the drinks, make sure to look over the playlist. The team takes into account famous events in music history for each week to build their playlist. I cannot recommend Citizen Vinyl high enough. 6 out of 5 stars.“

“Highly recommended. I've been a client for many years, and it's about time I tell y'all how good this coffee shop is. Fresh, fresh, and freshest. No bitter or sour after-taste. This is the way coffee is supposed to be! I buy grounds for myself and gifts. I get sandwiches a couple times a week, always tasty, with creative flairs. Sandwiches are under $10, coffee from 3 to 5 bucks, (including tip) depending on what you order. When you go for the first time, if you've got something specific in mind, tell Greg and he will make it for you. Bravo to Greg! Brava to Andi!“

Other then that keep up the good service I’ll definitely be back and asking for Grace.“

“John F has single handedly saved my first experience at the GPI. My 2 kids and I have traveled across country from Wisconsin to Chapel Hill after packing up my childhood home for a month after my parents passed away. I was exhausted after a 9 hour drive to Asheville and decided to book a room here as a special treat. When we arrived it rained and despite accepting the pouring rain we didn't get any sympathy or help except for John who listened to me rant and bought me a glass of wine. Bottom Line - Thank You John“

“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“

“I'm rating 5 stars based on pricing, service, and the timing. I personally couldn't eat my breakfast sandwich as I have dietary restrictions, and while most people would have been thrilled at a bonus sausage on their egg & cheese biscuit, I cannot eat red meats.
