I'd definitely come again if I was in the area. They're open late - and still bustling - and there's a decent amount of seating. Nice night ambiance. Prices are high but worth. Get: - hazelnut napoleon 5/5, perfect texture even though I'm not a hazelnut fan usually, this was wow - strawberry mousse cake 5/5, so refreshing and yummy!! - Godiva cheesecake 4/5, a bit heavier but still a solid cheesecake

In the search for a coffee shop, not much was open on a Saturday at 8am. Lucky for us we ran into…read moresome locals, who quickly directed us towards Old Europe Pastries. That's where everyone was at 8 am on Saturday morning. The cozy coffee shops with indoor and outdoor seating was conveniently located. We ordered a couple of coffees, some lattes, and picked up some croissants. Everything was great! The service was exceptional. The line was long, but the staff did a great job moving it along and taking orders. We did have to wait a bit for our order, but that was expected given the amount of people.

You'll also find seasonal items that are reflective of the berries, apples, and fruits harvested in Western North Carolina throughout the year. They have an small staff that is usually very friendly and attentive. Whether you're in town for a weekend getaway or an extended period of time you'll feel like a local when you walk in. Make sure to check their hours and days to make sure they're open, as they are closed for a few days every week. So plan according! ; ) One of our favorite loyalty programs is their old school punch card for Lattes that seem to rotate flavors on a daily basis. After you get to 10 or so they'll give you a free one, which is a fun incentive in our family for sure! Guten Appetit!

We were walking around downtown Brevard and stopped by this small town bakery. We got a peach…read moredanish, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and treats for our pup. We enjoyed the peach danish, but the cookie left for more to be desired, just not something I would get again. Our dog loved his treats - but know they are definitely on the very hard and crunchy side if your dog is particular about their treats. I recommend if you are in the area by stopping by this cute bakery.

We stopped here before visiting the Biltmore, and while parking was a bit of a challenge, it was absolutely worth it. We ended up parking on the street up the hill near some residential homes, but don't let that deter you. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the doughnuts being made right in front of us. There was a line when we arrived, and we waited about 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes or so for our doughnuts. Even with the wait, I'd do it all over again. The doughnuts were incredibly fresh, warm, light, and fluffy. Every flavor we tried was delicious, but the vanilla glazed and the toasted almond sesame cinnamon were my favorite. If you're in Asheville, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

They do have a small side lot for parking. Order ahead online or at the register when you arrive. We loved the open kitchen concept. Get a front row seat to watch your donuts being made right in front of you. My husband and I got the glaze and cinnamon sugar donuts. Both flavors were excellent! We enjoyed our warm perfect donuts while sitting inside watching other orders being made. They do offer coffee and other beverages. We just helped ourselves to the water station. Staff were beyond friendly and they seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. Thank you Hole for a great morning show and sweet treat. We will be back.

The gentleman tried to make sure I was expecting two shots of espresso and foam, and like a truly uncultured swine, I was like, "Yeah, sure!" When I got it, it wasn't anything like the large coffee-chain muck I've come to expect. They were SO kind and understanding, and quickly (well, with great care), made me a dulce de leche cappuccino instead, which was delish!

I went with the pastelito with guava and cream cheese, and it was very good. The pastry was flaky, and the guava and cream cheese filling was a great combination.

Other than that, this was a very nice stop.
