PennyCup is my favorite Asheville coffee roaster. They have four locations including where they roast.
Each of the PennyCup coffee shops have a different vibe. This North location is the least enjoyable. There is nothing special about it.
* customer service really does not exist beyond the making of espresso drinks.
* The baristas tend to be passionless and dull.
* atmosphere is uninspired.
Why do they serve 12oz lattes in 10oz cups? None of the other PennyCup locations do this. Why not call it a 10oz drink and charge for that instead of charing for 12oz. And let the customer know they will be getting 10oz when they are ordering 12.
When ordering the same drink twice on different occasions by the same barista, his answer was simply “that’s what we do.”

PennyCup is great. They fresh grind each shot, and the staff are fun to chat with.

The only thing that’s missing is a phone number to call ahead of time if you need to do so. I love this place so good and peaceful!!

The food and coffee is amazing. The absolute best thing though is the service. Every time I’m here I’m treated like a friend rather than just a customer. It’s easy to feel comfortable here, the atmosphere and staff have an amazing energy. They go out of their way to engage with my 5 year old who absolutely loves the staff and the hot chocolate.
Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly. Went out of their way to engage with her and make our daughter feel comfortable and happy. My daughter looks forward to going all week just to see her favorite staff.

Always friendly, perfect coffee and nice yet varied enough space to visit or get work done inside or out. And I can walk there.

Absolutely horrible coffee. The barista had no interest in working and did not even greet us when we came in.
Coffee was terribly made. Skip this one and save your money.

Ive been coming here for a while, the shop is super cute and the staff is always really kind! The coffee here is great, I prefer it over other shops in town. the food isnt anything special but it's what youd expect. It's a nice place to come and relax or have a conversation. My only real complaint is the pricing, but thats to be expected most places in AVL.

PennyCup is our go-to local coffee spot. As a house divided—my husband being a coffee lover and myself an avid tea drinker—we both find what we're looking for here. I love their local chai from AppalaChai. The staff is always friendly and quick, just what you want on your afternoon caffeine run.
