36 Best Cafes in Asheville

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Super yummy place and super cute environment.“

“Amazing little establishment“

“Loved coming to Afterglow each day of my stay. Great coffee. I had the breakfast wrap and it was my favorite dish so far in Asheville. Highly recommend. Staff is so kind.

Came for a night cap, the bartender that evening was charming and made a fabulous lemon drop.

We also recommend trying morning pastries. Chocolate chip cookie was unique and we loved it.“

“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 😉“

“The best coffee shop in town“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I see that the last review of this restaurant was in 2020, so though I don't have a lot to add, I thought I'd submit a more recent review to let people know that this restaurant is still in business and, from my experience there, has not changed much since the previous reviews. Basically, this is a short-order kitchen in a simple setting that serves a variety of breakfast items (eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, omelettes, etc.) and lunch items (burgers, sandwiches, salads) for relatively low prices, in a simple take-out or small diner setting (with inside and outside seating). I would not describe the cooking as particularly special or delicious (as some have) -- it actually seemed pretty basic, but it seemed to be good quality (other than maybe the coffee) and at very good (low) prices. Overall, if you're in the area and would like a quick, inexpensive breakfast or lunch, it's pretty good.“

“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.“

“Been a customer in 2007 and still in Love with the place.“

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

“The meal was delicious and the service was great. I will surely be revisiting this spot!“

“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.“
