City Bakery was a short walk from where we were staying, so it became our breakfast spot by default. Fortunately, it proved to be a good one. Bread may be their calling card, but they do have more substantial fare (biscuits, bagels, sandwiches, etc.) as well. We went with a pair of coffee drinks and a chocolate croissant as well as a loaf of Jewish rye to take home. Though they keep busy here, staff were pleasant and accommodating. The coffee drinks were smooth, and when we eventually broke into the rye, it had a nice crust and made for an excellent sandwich bread. The croissant was thicker and less flaky than expected. It definitely wasn't bad, but I've been spoiled by better options back home. Whether you're seeking bread, a breakfast bite, or caffeination to keep you going, City Bakery is a reliable option. read more

We love walking into this place: the hum of the breakfast crowd; the wood accents; big windows. Recommend the sticky buns! The coffee is intelligentsia and served in real mugs. read more

Really delicious! We ordered pick up on chow now before we hit the road early in the morning to head back to Florida, so we wanted some good sustenance. The online ordering was lacking descriptiveness so I wasn't sure what to expect when we ordered the avocado toast and the breakfast sandwiches but the size did not disappointment. One avocado toast order came with two large slices of sourdough (I recommend adding egg, onion, and bacon as they put that right on top and it's divine). The breakfast sandwich looked kinda small in photos but was the size of a freaking softball and tasted great. I do wish there was an option for a breakfast sandwich on sourdough because the cheddar biscuit was a little heavy. Lattes and chocolate croissant - super tasty too. If they could work on adding more info to the online ordering I think that would be helpful but the food is great. read more

This was my first visit. We found out about the sourdough from the local grocery stores that sell it. So yum. Had to stop by and see their other goodies. I am always a sucker for an apple fritter and theirs is like monkey bread. Great flavor. You can eat inside or there are a few tables outside. If you walk in not hungry, this will change very quickly. So many yummy smells. I will try a breakfast sandwich the next time we stop by. Staff is very friendly, especially Theresa who helped us with the sourdough order. read more

THIS IS THE BEST SOURDOUGH BREAD IN THE WORLD. I've had sourdough from San Francisco to Paris, and I'm telling you, City Bakery is everything. We drove from our property in Maggie Valley all the way to Asheville just to buy it from the source. Theresa, a beautiful soul, is soooo kind and found us an extra loaf to buy in back. But then, we bought a challah (something I only just discovered) and my better half went for a pastry. Everything is ohhhhhmyyyyygoodness...lush! They have an extra dining room for those ordering in/brunching. If you buy nothing else in Asheville, buy City Bakery bread! I'm in love. read more

The craving hit and City Bakery quenched it! After a morning hike, I was in the mood for a delicious, naughty treat and City Bakery delivered! The moment I walked in, the warm, buttery aroma had me hooked. I went for a sticky bun... Absolute perfection. Flaky, rich, sticky, and just the right balance of sweetness. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and every bite was worth it. Can't wait to come back and try something else out! read more

City Bakery - Sticky Bun - Bakeries Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I really like this place. I go to the Charlotte St location. Staff is so kind. Tables always clean. Food always fresh and yummy. Coffee gets cold in the carafe. They don't make it fresh in the afternoon before close -- so they made me an americano for the brewed coffee price -- again: kind! I always feel welcomed and they go above and beyond. Asheville can be hit or miss in that department and city bakery is winning! Keep up the great work! read more

Stopped here early in the morning to pick up some beads for breakfast. We got a bagel, a croissant, an Apple fritter, and a chive and onion biscuit. All were very good as it was fresh. Did not try any of the sweet treats. Patrons were there early picking up bread and ordering sandwiches. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back again if I'm in Asheville. read more

What a cute little cozy gem. A cold overcasted and smokey :( day. We looked at the continental breakfast from our hotel room and decided that would not be how our bellies got full. So we came across this cute place. What a cozy place tucked in a small little down outside of Asheville. My GAWD these cheddar, bacon and green onion biscuits are heavenly! We both got that sausage egg and cheese and (without cheese) sandwiches and man oh man are they HUGE! We killed them in just a few short minutes. We spent about just close to $13 $5.75 a sandwich. We also bought some stuffing bread. Bread that is made to be cut up (cubed) baked / toasted off and used for stuffing. Also beware they do not take apple pay (tap) you must have card, cash or be able to order online. We will be back! read more

The service is great and fast, the atmosphere is very nice and the coffee and sweets are wonderful.

Finally made it to City Bakery! The place was cozy but packed to the brim, I ordered an egg and cheese on a biscuit. It was good, might come back if I'm over there. But not rushing. Their bread is spectacular, some of the best sourdough I've had! read more

This place has been a fav for years. From sitting to enjoy a brew to grabbing to go, I love it. The parking and drive is pretty crazy but if you go on a more off time, it's easier to navigate that parking lot and turn. The staff are always so kind. They stay busy. The bread and baked goods are wonderful. From cinnamon rolls to cookies, they have it all. I love those bagels. Especially toasted as a sammy. They have great vegetarian options. Pretty expensive these days but isn't everything? The coffee is not cheap but definitely quality. They have a ton of options as well as fresh hot brew. Nice places to sit and work or chat. Pretty loud and sunny though. read more

We were looking for lunch from a local bakery that also served sandwiches on their house bread, and City Bakery came up as a recommended option. What a great choice! We reached the spot around 2pm and quickly ordered - the seating was spacious and there was good room for our party of 8. I got the Avo Melt (avocado, goat cheese, tomato, spinach, and basil) grilled to melty perfection with a side of chips. My family got the Avogoddess (avocado, mozzarella, tomato, cucumber, spring mix and green goddess sauce) and the Garden Bagel (garlic herb cream cheese, sprouts, spinach, cucumber, red onion on everything bagel), both of which they really enjoyed. DEFINITELY get a side of their green goddess side to lather onto any sandwich you get - this sauce is perfection, and is like pesto and mayo had a beautiful and tasty baby - it elevated the sandwiches and even our chips. Minus one star for running out of bakery items pretty early and small portion sizes for each sandwich, but overall a solid light lunch spot! read more

Found this cute place online to grab breakfast. It's a small cafe vibe people come to grab drinks/food Togo. Immediately the barista/cashier weren't the nicest. When ordering the girl had attitude for no reason when the place wasn't busy. Also the red head barista wasn't friendly at all. The food was great but the customer service ruined the experience for me. :/ read more

City Bakery - a sign on a brick building - Bakeries Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

A friend and I visited City Bakery while staying at a nearby Airbnb. We had breakfast there and ordered breakfast sandwiches and biscuits. You order at the counter, are given a number sign, find a seat and the staff brings the food to you. The food and coffee was very good. The service was quick. The bakery shared space with a restaurant next door for seating. It was also dog friendly. I would definitely return if I was in the area again. read more

This is a fantastic place to go to for breakfast! The prices are very fair especially with everything being made in house! The breakfast sandwiches are divine and the service was wonderful. When we went in it was very busy but we were still able to find seating! The interior is beautiful with artwork hung all over the walls and Victorian accents on the ceilings! We are only in Asheville for a little bit, but this will definitely be our go to spot every time we visit Asheville! read more

It's was not a great morning for us at this bakery. It was not terribly crowded when we arrived and the staff was hustling! We were able to order quickly. We asked for two bagles, water, and a chai charger. We were told they were out of chai, so my husband changed his order to a coffee. No big deal. We sat down and waited for our order. 20 minutes later and hearing three other people order chai chargers and get them, we were getting a little put out. My husband went and asked about our order. Opps! We were told they had so many orders to come in online that our order was not ready yet. Mind you, they had only put two small bags on the take out stand and called out another order. After we asked about our food, they did bring an apology cookie. Ten minutes later, we finally got our food. We wanted to get on the road, so we left. When we got to the car, the cream cheese on my husband's bagel was so melted it was just thick goo and could not be eaten in the car without a huge mess. I ordered a bacon and cream cheese bagel with no egg. I got a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. It was not the breakfast we had anticipated. We had heard so many great things about this place, so I am going to chalk our not so great experience up to an off day. My bagel had a good taste and the staff hustling so three stars instead of two. read more

Go here. Delicious! We intended to hit up Biscuit Head yet again, but our Airbnb hosts said this is their favorite and wow - it's a gem. We ordered online the night before and had a quick, easy pickup on a Sunday morning. Ate outside at one of the patio tables and enjoyed every bite of the BEC on scallion cheddar biscuit and the farmhouse sandwich. They complemented each other nicely; the farmhouse is sweet from the apple butter mustard (!!) and the biscuit is 100% pure savory deliciousness. Our only regret was not ordering loaves of bread the night before because when we arrived to pick up our order, they had limited bread options in the bakery. I bought a loaf of Jewish rye and French sandwich bread, though! Can't wait to try them. read more
