“Finally found the Boba Fruit Milk Tea with poppers I have been wanting! 4 years ago tried Milk Fruit Boba tea on vacation but never found another place that made it similar around home. Just discovered this the other day! Staff were super helpful and answered all my questions. Mango milk boba tea was amazing. I would like to throw it out there and suggest for mango and strawberry flavors it would be cool if you could get tiny pieces of the fruit chopped up and mixed in with the poppers or boba. I can't wait to go back and try the pastries! Had a large beautiful selection of many tasty goodies. Definitely going to be a repeat customer for the milk boba tea. Conveniently located very close to the parking garage at 40 Coxe.“
“Mark and Cora were first class today with customer service! If you are looking for a solid time in Asheville definitely check out Cafe c a n n a! Good temperature inside and even better atmosphere with even better employees better now friends! So I had the pleasure of trying this wonderful establishment for the first time ever. I was blown away by customer service that I don't get back at my home. I wonder why I've been to Asheville now five times within 2 months and soon to be six times. The reason for that is because people are real and people are kind around here. This will be an experience that I soon won't forget! I will treasure today as a positive memory versus a negative day. I hope to come back here again because this truly is first class!!“
“This is my favorite restaurant in Weaverville. I prefer it any of the places in Asheville as well. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is eclectic and charming, and the staff is always incredibly accommodating. Make a reservation because there are a lot of people who feel the same way I do.“
“The only restaurant worth going to in Weaverville! (Seriously, I've tried all the other places. This is the place.) Food is delicious, the monthly weekend brunch menus are *off the chain*. Breakfast and lunch that won't break your bank. Awesome cheap breakfast sammies and they have the best biscuits and gravy. Staff are rad, plenty of outdoor seating, great coffee, smoothies, drinks and baked goods. Something for everyone even if you have dietary restrictions. You cannot go wrong with this place. I'll be a regular as long as I'm in the area. ❤️Dietary restrictions: Non dairy options, vegetarian options, GF options“
“The Americano was perfect as I could have my half and half(decaf/caffeinated). Drip coffee didn't offer decaf.Split a hummus sandwich with my friend. It hit the spot at a HIIT workout at the gym.Nice to sit outside by the river. Quiet and peaceful.“
“Love, love this shop!They know what they are doing.Food is fresh and delicious, great flavor combination. Portions are just right. Desserts and treats. Amazing!!The dry goods in the shop are great basic things. (hissy hot sauce)Grateful for the featured local artist and unique items to purchase.Their menu is wonderfully created and the portions are just right.The atmosphere is calm, yet festive.Thanks for this wonderful place to take my friends when they come to town. As well as tea time with my local friends.CynthiaDietary restrictions: I am gluten free. Although they only have a few items that are gluten free they are delicious . I never feel left out. I enjoy them each time I visit.The staff listens to my needs and know their ingredients to assist with the best option.They know true customer service!“
“I went here for a bagel pop-up in Feb, and it was the best bagel I've had in the area. The cream cheese options were unique and delicious. My boyfriend got the lox bagel and loved it. The employees were super friendly and fast. The only downside is that there's no indoor seating, and all the outdoor seating was taken. This is definitely more of a grab and go place.Parking: Large free parking lot. It's gravel, so it could be a bit muddy if it's been wet.“
“Very cool place. The food was amazing. There are a variety of beverages to choose from. You pre-order your food at the bar (there are no servers), and they bring your food to you. You bus your own tables. The bartender was nice but not very welcoming. She had a 'don't care if you're here' kind of California vibe. We were kinda of left to figure things out ourselves. Outside seating was very cool, with a clear view of the French Broad River alongside the railroad tracks. I really liked this place and will definitely be back. The burger was outstanding, and the hand cut fries do not disappoint. My wife had the shrimp and grits. She loved them.“
“This place and the folks who run it are fantastic. I like to visit as often as possible for lunch, which is served each weekday and is donation based. The food is delicious, healthy and filling. There is almost always a meet and a veggi option for main dish, as well as several sides and deserts to chose from. The people are welcoming and friendly I would recommend this place to anyone interested or in need of a fantastic hot meal.“
“Not only is this a gem of a spot where you can see records being pressed while you sip on a cozy latte - Cheryl aka the Giddy Chick has taken over Sessions Cafe and made it next level!!! From the Falafel Waffle, to the personal sized quiche, the amazing egg Sammie to the curried cauliflower Buddha bowl, the hardest part is making a decision!!! Don’t sleep on dessert either - Cheryl ran the pastry program for the Inn @ Biltmore and before that the Ritz in both Chicago & NYC. Her Cookies! Her Pastries! OMG!!!Pro tip: She also does custom cakes and pies.Vegetarian options: From the quiche (best ever) to the curried cauliflower Buddha bowl to the falafel waffle, Cheryl has got you covered with any dietary restrictions.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten Free Options, soooooooo delicious!!!“
“This place was awesome. Inside was nice and warm like a greenhouse layout. I love that you order at the front and wait for your food to come out instead of having to be waited on, it’s so much faster. Best chai latte I’ve ever had in my life. Prices were totally fair. Definitely coming back on my next trip to Ashville.“
“Oh my, this place makes me so happy.Games are clearly grouped and labeled by complexity and estimated game length, as well as whether a game is ideal (or can be played) by just two people.The food menu is bursting with puns, a clear indicator the folks working here know their target audience.Board game selection covers the full range so you can start with something familiar, then experiment with something new, and go back and forth before you realize you've been there for 5 hours. We were in town for a few days so the single day pass made sense for us, but if we were local we would absolutely invest in the monthly membership.Expert or novice, this is a welcoming environment. Go, play, be merry.Kid-friendliness: Games are clearly grouped by complexity and estimated game length.“
“such a cool tour, Franco was our tour guide and he was so funny and made a good environment to ask questions! really cool that they allow tours and the info they share is really interesting! it’s free and not super long so it’s a fun short thing to do, plus they have good merch and a cute cafe in “
Coffee Shops • $
“Really awesome spot. Not only great coffee, but great people working and their merch is so cool. I had to grab a shirt after getting my coffee. One of the best spots in asheville not only for coffee but atmosphere and service. Will return next time im in town.“
“This was a great find during our Biltmore Village afternoon. :) We we're not excited about other restaurants in the Village, with our daughter in tow. The bbq chicken flatbread was great, along with the side salad. My husband really liked his Turkey and bacon sandwich, which was a good size. The pretzel dog lacked a little flavor but our daughter happily enjoyed it. They had wine, which we would have happily ordered but we're too cold. ;) We got a hot drink instead.“
“Being a barista in the obx I’m a tad picky about my coffee. These guys are awesome! My wife and I loved our coffees and our breakfast sandwiches even more! Blueberry goat cheese w prosciutto was delightful! Will definitely be coming back next time we’re in town!“
“I'm ashamed that I didn't take pictures ? but you must eat at the black bear!!!! My favorite things to eat are the onion rings, the pimento grilled cheese, the hot fudge cake is to die for!!! They have fresh food and a cozy atmosphere. The waitress are very sweet and you know they love their job. We will be back.“
“LOVED the inside, seating offerings and flavor options.Pros: Inside is huge, high ceilings with awesome music playing. Barista was very nice and helped choose an option. Their flavor options are unique and fantastic. I would love to come here and hangout with friends. Art on the latte was appreciated.Cons: While the added flavors came through and were nice, the espresso fell short. In the iced latte, the coloring was light as if it maybe only had one shot in it. The same with the hot latte, espresso didn't come through much. It was texturized well, just tasted of milk and light coffee.“
“perfection. delicious croissants, coffee, and bread. if you love classic laminated pastry and sourdough you absolutely must try OWL. one of the best in the southeast for sure. i only wish there were a few more spots inside to sit & enjoy!“
“I enjoy coming here for breakfast or lunch. Beautiful space with lots of plants and nice big windows. Usually I get the vegan bagel & lox or the banh mi, both are great (there are several other vegan options on the menu but I am a creature of habit). Their smoothies are tasty too.“
“Granny’s nice local restaurant. Limited menu listed, but swear I saw fried okra but not on menu board. Not all prices listed. Picture cheeseburger and fries $9.35. I have no idea how much the fries cost because it wasn’t on the menu board. The burger was delicious but I felt for $3, 12 fries was a little skimpy.“
Bakery • $$
“Very very cool place. Way better than your average bakery. The food in the cases all looks delicious. I tried the Monte Cristo and a dessert that somewhat resembles Tiramisu. Absolutely excellent! Prices are reasonable, good service. Will definitely return with anyone that I can bring.“
“LOVED the artfully crafted pastries and the delicious savory offerings here. Friendly customer service with great value for the price, too. Really enjoyed the pretzel turkey sandwich (warmed) with flavorful sesame noodles (highly recommend both!). Finished off our lunch with some delicious sweets- the truffles melt in your mouth and the coffee cake is balanced with spice. Really look forward to dining here again.“
“This is one of my many Go-To spots in Asheville for breakfast and coffee. I drive 45 mins just to come here. Everything that I've ordered has been delicious! The service is always great, and the staff is very professional and friendly.The menu has a variety of choices and the bakery items are also scrumptious! They have two floors, with plenty of seating, and the staff brings your order to your table. The ambiance is also great!I highly recommend this cafe if you want to enjoy some tasty, freshly made food and great coffee!Vegetarian options: The veggie patty is so delicious. This is a personal creation by the chef. The party is soft, and very flavorful! Unlike most veggie patties that are processed and heated up.The salads are also delicious!“
“After a dance class at the at the Furguson YMCA, we ventured across the parking lot to Dripolater for brunch. We got 2 Carmel Frappuccino with extra shots of expresso, and an Everything Bagel Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich.The cashier was very friendly and the place was pretty packed for 11 am. Plenty of room in the cozy seating area and a very diverse crowd enjoying the inside. There also is a drive thru.Drinks were gone so quickly because they were fantastic, and only $5/pc (with the extra espresso shot). The wife and I split the Bagel Sandwich which she told them to drown in their Chipotle Mayo... they obliged. Glad she did, as the top of the bagel was a bit tough, but the sandwich was tasty regardless.Could become a dangerous Saturday post workout fuel destination.“
“cool and original atmosphere, like the vast majority of cafes in Asheville, they grind and sell selected coffees freshly. I tried a special coffee with pepper, but Batista exaggerated a little with it ?, I just don't give a+ for that, in the most excellent place.“
“My daughter and I went to the Hungry Bear for the first time this morning. The food was generous and fabulous! Prices are very reasonable ; And our waitress was fast and attentive. We decided this is our new favorite breakfast place. We'll be back soon.Parking: Good parking on the lot.“
“We have been visiting the Laughing Seed Cafe for years. This week I had the Lotus Grain Bowl for brunch and it was delightfully fresh, bright, and flavorful. I will definitely order this bowl again.Whenever I visit a restaurant, I look for cholesterol buster options, which means I'm looking for dishes that are meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and fried-free (fried vegetables will not help me meet my cholesterol reducing goals).Vegetarian options: The whole menu is vegetarian, and they also offer a large variety of vegan dishes.Dietary restrictions: The menu is clearly marked for dietary restrictions.“
“Very very good coffee. Got a latte and honey rose latte, both great.Pros: Espresso was fantastic, as well as the flavor offerings. House made syrups a plus. Wish they had a couple more, but the ones they have are great. They weigh their shots and are well trained. Great art on the latte. Vibe inside is clean, nice place to do some work and hangout. It's posh. Good service. Great amount of seating inside. They sell coffee brewing equipment and coffee beans to take home. Also, the cups they use for take-out are great quality.Cons: Not necessarily family friendly as it is very much white and black inside, very calm. Not a bad thing thats just their style. There is parking but can get crowded and limited as its on a street corner on a hill. Near Pie-zaa and other places, it can get busy around there.“
“Great coffee, pastries and to-go snacks. This was an awesome addition to Leicester but like some newer spots they aren't that busy yet. Support local! I really think the owners need to invest in better signs out front to draw in customers.“
