40 Best Coffee Shops in Asheville

“We have visited once for dinner and once for breakfast and I have a tough time putting down my utensils. Dinner with 4 had tartar and mussels and calamari apps and all were perfect. I had the Gemelli pasta dish (gluten sensitive) and enjoyed the flavors. For breakfast I had the Benedict Hash. My mouth wants to marry that sauce. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, the sauce is bold with lemon and paprika and oh so delicious.“

“just visiting AVL but I had to leave a review! everyone working here was so kind and happy to be there. they appeared to be out of blueberry crumble cake but were somehow able to find one more piece for me. our lattes were delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed the absolute heck out of his bacon egg and cheese biscuit even complimenting how the bacon was cooked. the biscuit was warm and our lattes were hot! we will definitely be back next time we’re in town“

“We were in town a couple of days and felt blessed to stumble upon Chaunie's Coffee! You can tell they love their coffee and their purpose. We enjoyed the iced americano, iced vanilla latte, and came back the next day for the cold brew. All were incredible. Their beans are top tier AND Chaunie gives time and proceeds to help oppressed women in India. Nothing like great coffee, convos, and conviction - thanks Chaunie, Nan, & Mimi!“

“My husband and I found this through AirBnB. Honestly 12/10, Toni really knows her stuff, and was so sweet. We learned so much and had a blast getting to brew our own coffees. I’ve already recommended to multiple friends, such a fun day date activity!!!“

“Found this cafe on a whim, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Asheville area. I had a lovely conversation with the owner, he was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I had one of the best chai lattes I’ve had in a long time, as well as a delicious bagel that was perfect. There’s plenty of seating indoors and outside, and the space is well kept up with!“

“THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO STOP HERE!☕️?such an incredible atmosphere and delicious coffee & chai!! The chai is so flavorful and the perfect balance of spicy and sweet. (Not the cheapo plain cinnamon kind ya know?) Also the staff were so kind. I purchased some last minute Christmas gifts too (a super cute car diffuser, some coffee beans, a tshirt, and some local matcha!) they had an awesome set up and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“AMAZING customer service!!! These guys rock!!! And I haven’t even tried the coffee yet!!! Order some NOW while homebound!!!“

“I really liked it!!! And the atmosphere, and the coffee, and the people who work, there are many places for drinking coffee both in the main room with stylish wooden tables, and in the next room where you can work in silence or just relax, also on the street - this is perhaps my favorite place, and when flowers fall from the trees (August, September) very nice, reminds me of childhood!))))“

“Delicious lemonade & a great atmosphere. Love that they had some people painting in the back section & others studying up front.“

“I go to Izzy's on Lexington regularly. It's my favorite coffee shop in Asheville. Usually Rand is the barista when I show up and he's great at his job and he's warm and friendly. The coffee is good and the baked goods (especially the fig and olive scone) are delicious. The coffee shop has great art that rotates, local artists are supported. I would recommend Izzy's to anyone and have nothing but good things to say about it.“

“The strongest kava I’ve ever had in my life! (And I’ve been to a LOT of kava bars!)“

“This place is so great that we ate breakfast there every morning that we were in Asheville. On day one I had the Goat of Monte Cristo. They put their homemade raspberry preserve on it and it was mouth watering. I actually asked if I could buy a jar of it and bless their hearts they sold me a jar of the preserve, which is something that they don't normally do. Thanks you so much again. I am enjoying it at home now. Everything we ate was excellent, every day. They are located in the Grove Arcade Building. DON'T MISS IT!!!!“

“From Iowa found this place loved the vibe and the people. Very hip would definitely recommend“

“The atmosphere and drinks were amazing! However we arrived around 5 o’clock and were told no coffee after 4pm - but they had coffee for cocktails. It was upsetting for our designated driver who was looking forward to enjoying a coffee while we had cocktails. Hoping this rule will change so we can enjoy a responsible night out in the future!“

“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.“

“By far the best Starbucks I’ve ever been to. They are always super friendly, efficient, and always making sure to get your order right. Kim is the best and always makes an effort to greet me and remember my order every time. There is also a regular staff member there who I don’t know her name but she is also amazing. I always order my cold brew with light ice and when she noticed the barista put too much ice in it, she corrected it and made it a learning lesson for her fellow staff member and told her “I’m just trying to help you be the best barista you can be.” I can’t say enough good things about this location. I wish they were all as amazing as this staff!“

“The Starbucks that are inside Ingles are great. They serve coffee and a lot less communist pink haired nonsense. I like to get a coffee black...I can get that here and not come out of the store feeling like I need a shower from the stench of unbathed commi hippies.“

“Such a friendly Starbucks! Great, clean work from their baristas! Kuddos from a former Shift Sup!“

“We had so much fun today!!!!!“
