7 Best Cafes near Swannanoa

“Such a great resource for the students, my daughter is excited that all the syrups for flavoring the coffee are sugar cane so she can have fancy coffees. I even had a sugar Dr Pepper, haven't had one of those in years. Deb, who runs the shop, is great and holds her products she serves to a very high standard.

Dietary restrictions: Flavoring syrups for coffee and the sodas are sugar cane.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get into the shop and the doors have button openers but those need a staff or student badge to engage them because it is access to student dorms.“

“Friendly staff! Yummy muffins. Great coffee!“

“Charming place. Great coffee and pastries. Local art on walls. Wonderful vibe.“

“The best coffee shop in town“

“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“

“Just stopped in after being away for a while and was so incredibly sadly disappointed that you no longer have French Broad chocolate available for your mochas. 😞 I used to tell everyone that you had the best mochas in the state (No exaggeration!!). Ghirardelli is so common, way too sweet, and just meh. Love the Drip vibe! Please bring it back.“

“Terrific people Terrific coffee. Clouds Coffee Shop is located on the grounds of Ridgecrest Conference Center. You need a reservation or be a staying guest to enter the conference center property, but once you are staying here it is open to the public and staffed by some wonderful smiling faces.“
