This place is really known for their coffee but I got a smoothie here. Was actually pretty good and super filling. Bring cash here as they only take cash. I loveeeee the aesthetic outside, it's very cozy and cool to hang out in. We started our bachelorette party at this location to get our day going and it was a perfect way to start the day! read more

After our brunch in the area, we headed to Double D's for our caffeine dose of the day and it was delicious as always. Opted for one of the specials they had this time around, the oatmeal cookie latte. Was very tasty and was able to get it iced so perfect to drink on a warm day! Do note that they are cash only! read more

We are staying at the Aloft hotel and really needed some coffee. Thankfully Double Ds is like 2 minutes down the road for an immediate caffeine pick me up! Super cute that they serve out of a double decker bus. There are about 4 tables you can sit at outside of the bus. No seating inside. Menu has some pretty interesting concoctions, so I was intrigued. They also have a seasonal menu that changes. Prices are super reasonable, which shocked us, but it's cash only! Ugh who carries cash nowadays?? Only downside to this place, which is why I knocked a star off. Atm inside the Aloft charged $4.25 for the atm just FYI. I got a hot creme brulee latte and my husband got a blackberry latte. After you order at the window, they call your name on a speaker and you pick it up inside the bus. My drink was really tasty and smooth. My husband enjoyed his as well and said the blackberry was really strong and pronounced in a good way. I would definitely frequent this place again if I had cash on me. If I didn't, there's so many other coffee places in Asheville that I would probably try somewhere else next time. read more

A unique coffee experience in Asheville. Located in downtown Asheville, this cozy café stands out because it's a double-decker bus, which gives it a charm you won't find anywhere else. Known as a coffee and dessert shop, it offers an affordable menu of specialty drinks and sweet treats that make it perfect for a quick pick-me-up. Prices are reasonable, the service is quick, and the experience is memorable simply because of the setting. read more

We were told Double D's Coffee was a must try for us who were visiting for the weekend so we tried it! There was a line the whole time we were there, but the line was mostly in the sun which was nice! We were expecting there to be homemade syrups but when we got to the window we saw there wasn't any. We got a Maple Cream Cold Brew and Cookie Butter Swirl Latte. The Maple cream was lacking cold brew flavor and a little too sweet. The cookie butter swirl latte was ordered with oat milk and was nothing to rave about. read more

This bus is unmissable on a walk through Asheville. I found a reason to stop by. The desserts didn't seem that fresh to me, but I wanted a cold beverage. An iced chai over oat milk delivered amply on flavor. There was plenty of cinnamon but a robust mix of tea and spices to back it up. It is a cash only place. There is a garden to sit in but it is outdoors, so be mindful of weather concerns. read more

Coming out of Cherokee I did a quick Google search for coffee shops near our route. Every one close by came up closed or closing soon. I altered my location to Asheville since we'd pass right through and this neat place popped up! We got off the exit and drove straight to it. We were able to park right beside it and I walked up to the little window to place my order. It was about a three minute wait to place my order for a 16oz. Iced Latte with Blackberry and White Chocolate. Maybe another two minutes to be called "aboard the bus" to pick up my order. The coffee is tasty, the service was quick and friendly, and the environment was quirky and fun. A fun little break in a rather monotonous traveling-home day. Will stop again when in the area! read more

Double D's has become a regular stop during our Asheville visits. It's still cash only, and it can still get quite busy. However, since they closed the upper deck, you won't have to squeeze past others inside the bus's cramped confines. The coffee (courtesy of Notorious Coffee Roasting Co.) is good, and my wife continues to vouch for the red hot chili mocha (and its cayenne kick). If you're able to grab one of the courtyard tables, sit back, sip, and enjoy. read more

Double D's is the most quirky coffee shop I've ever seen. It is located in Downtown Asheville and is hard to miss as it's a giant double decker bus! You line up outside and order in the bus window, then when your order is ready you may climb aboard the bus to grab it! There is limited outdoor seating but my friend and I were happy to grab our tea's and explore the town. We both got London Fog tea's which were delicious, but their menu has a variety of speciality coffee, tea, and chai as well as a few muffins and baked goods. When we visited the only downside was it was cash only and we were limited, but not sure if that is still the case. read more

I've heard such wonderful things about Double D's and the coffee did not disappoint! I got The Lebowski which i was able to get "half sweet". In fact, most drinks can be made decaf, half sweet or with oat/ almond milk, which I thought was really cool. My husband got the iced hazelnut latte and really enjoyed it too. I honestly wish we tried new drinks from here every day of our trip. This place is super dog friendly with water bowls available! I also thought the experience of picking up your coffees inside the double decker itself was so cool and unique!! The seating area is very aesthetically pleasing and lovely to be in! Tips: - Be prepared to wait if there is a long line, as this is a very popular spot. - It's also cash only!!! - Double D's has (what looks like) amazing baked goods, but there aren't really any savory brunch items like breakfast sandwiches. So just plan the food part of your meals accordingly. read more

This was quite possibly my favorite part about our five day visit to Asheville. We came every single day and we brought our adventure cat who loved coming too. I love the adorable ambience of this double-decker bus and patio. The owner and staff were so friendly and helpful. They were even nice to our kitty who loved running across their tables and through the adorable garden on the patio. The coffee drinks are unique, fun and delicious. Even my husband, who hates cold brew, loved the cold brew from Double D's. This little coffee shop is an absolute Asheville gem. read more

This is a cute coffee shop run out of a double decker bus. It's cash only and currently only outdoor seating; they're renovating the top level to offer indoor seating. The staff is friendly and the drinks are good. On my first visit, I had the signature red hot chili mocha. It definitely had a spicy kick to it, which I was surprised and pleased by; but, it was a little sweet for my taste and I would've liked to have more taste of the coffee. On my second visit, I had a macchiato - two shots of espresso and a dollop of foam... Definitely a kick in the pants. My friend has an iced latte and she said it's her favorite latte spot. read more

This was fun to stop at for a coffee. The double decker bus top floor was closed when we went but they had a garden area to sit in and enjoy your purchase. Service was quick and everything was tasty. Room for improvements might be adding a hidden treat in the purchase. Such as a sliced berry on the top of the smoothie or maybe a drizzle on the inside of the cup before filling of the iced coffee. Maybe a cookie or a chocolate covered coffee bean. Just things I've seen at other places to make the experience more memorable. read more

Unfortunately, I have to give this 3 stars for the customer service. The worker seemed so mad we even were there. Tossed the brownie on the counter and seemed so hostile. Maybe they were having bad day. I tipped anyway but it was a very disappointing experience and I will probably skip this place the next time read more

Stopped here after eating in downtown Asheville. It's really hard to miss if you are stuck orbiting downtown looking for a parking space that isn't 10min unloading or permit only. They are CASH ONLY which is an option that i can never understand but we had cash and pressed on. I ordered a warm cookie sundae - which was definitely worth the $7 price tag as it was piled high with ice cream and whipped cream. Cool little tourist trap, but the food to back it up. Well done. read more

We had seen the DD bus on several occasions while in Asheville, but this was the first time that they were open while we were there. I mention one extremely important tip straight off the bat and that is it is cash only. Make sure you have cash before you even get in line. Their location is a vintage double decker bus sitting on a cute little lot that is surrounded by an iron fence. You come in the iron fence gate and stand in line, put your order in at the window and then you wait until they call your name. Once your name is called, you go into the bus at a little counter to pick it up they have a spot there with sugar and other things for you to fix up your coffee or tea to your liking. The upstairs is closed and there is no indoor seating. After waiting in a fairly short line, I got a dirty chai latte and a regular old coffee with sugar for JT. I also got an almond croissant. We found a picnic table at the back under a big tree. The space has a hippy gnome kind of vibe. My chai was good and JT seemed to enjoy his coffee. The almond croissant was delicious. It was a nice little spot to chill & get ready for an exciting afternoon in Asheville. We tried hitting it up again on Sunday, but unfortunately it was closed. They seem to have pretty limited hours, so I would definitely check before I headed over there. Their selection of food cinema consistent. Mostly croissants, muffins, and scones. I would guess that you have to get there early before they sell out. So remember, get there early, bring cash, check their hours before you go and be aware that their seating is pretty limited if you plan on enjoying your treat there instead of taking it to go. read more

From the Business

Specialties

All of our drinks are hand made by trained, friendly baristas in the traditional fashion and we use Fair Trade organic coffee. Our coffee is roasted by Notorious Coffee, a local roaster who roasts in small batches weekly to keep it as fresh as possible. Milk shakes are also made the old fashioned way using all premium vanilla ice cream and we offer all fruit smoothies made with real fruit. Our sweet treats are made by local bakeries. You can drink coffee anywhere, but how about on top of an authentic 1963 British Double Decker Bus? You can't beat the coffee or the unique setting in Downtown Asheville.

History

Established in 1999.

The Bus arrived in Downtown Asheville in 1999. It is an authentic 1963 British Double Decker Bus. It ran in the London circuit in the 1960's and apparently ended up in Atlanta, Ga in the 1970's and used as a party bus, until it made Asheville it's home in 1999. It has the heart of locals and tourist's alike and has become a special landmark in this beautiful and eclectic town.

This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious! LOVED the place...and I can't wait to return! My husband will absolutely loved their version of Shaved Ice...What a treat to come!

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.

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.

I arrived on a Saturday at 5:17 PM, walked in through an unlocked door, and the employee flatly told me, "we're closed." I asked, "Aren't your opening hours until 6 PM, or did I misread the website?" She responded: "I don't check the website much, but in the winter we close at 5 PM." The issue isn't closing early once -- it's having inconsistent hours across multiple platforms and then showing zero concern for the customer inconvenience (no apology, no attempt to help, no sign or clear communication). If winter hours are different, update them everywhere and reflect them at the door. As-is, customers can waste a trip even when they arrive before the posted closing time.

YUMMMMMMM. So good…read more My friend is an ice cream cookie monster and has it several times a day when we travel bc that's her favorite thing when she travels is to try all the ice cream in town. I'm happy to oblige, lol. So, after an hour in the Asheville Salt Cave, we walked over here to try this ice cream. Two staff inside working, it was incredibly hot inside, were happy to answer questions and greeted us warmly. They had a nice selection of flavors on the wall and a few specialty flavors. My friends went with a salted caramel vanilla and a peanut chocolate flavor. Both were OK but mine was the star of the show for me. I chose the Vanilla Oreo Cream which was this delicious creamy vanilla mixture with huge chunks of Oreo cookies. It was smooth, it was sweet, it was delicious. As a cookies and cream fan, this was top notch. They sell lactaid pills here if you need them, to assist with stomach discomfort from dairy. Smooth and creamy ice creams here with a range of delicious flavors. If we'd had time, we would've stopped in every single day!

The address in Yelp brought us to a blue building clearly marked with the address we were looking for BUT it was a pharmacy. We persisted. We eventually found an ice cream store behind the pharmacy called "The mad dipper". We went in and talked to the young woman working there. She said they used to be "The ultimate ice cream" but they were bought about a year ago and the name was changed to The Mad Dipper." She tried hard to convince us they were the same but after having looked at the pictures prior to arriving I would disagree. We still ordered ice cream and it was good but nothing special. There were a few inside tables as well as outside. It appeared clean but disorganized. The young woman working was kind and polite. She did a good job. Would we go back- probably not. I am still trying to understand how/why the new owners have not taken the time to update their Yelp page. Really poor marketing!

Lot's of eclectic spice and vegetable beers, but the pairings are generally interesting and well done. They also have a few more traditional beer styles, if that's what you're in the mood for. The space is also very nicely done. Plenty of room at the bar. A somewhat dark and muted color tone that created the feel of a slightly rustic and understated space. I liked it. In terms of food, I ordered a mediterranean bowl and was pretty happy with it. Reasonably well presented. Some evidence of investing effort in creating an individualized concept. The ingredients were also very fresh. The toppings also fell within a reasonable balance. It wasn't overwhelming. It wasn't the best salad of this type that I've had, but it made for something crisp and fresh to pair with a pint. All that having been said, my suggestion would be to go for the beer. If you want to order food alongside your beer, that's secondary.

All Day Darling

All Day Darling is a 2025 Michelin-recognized spot, and what a surprise and cute name!!!…read more While exploring near Grove Arcade, I searched Yelp for a local brunch place and found this gem. Like many cafés in Asheville, it's a self-bussing establishment, so guests return their own dishes after eating. The cafe is charming, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were warm, welcoming, and food was very good. We ordered drinks which was okay...next time I'll opt for water. Luckily, the Buddha Bowl and the breakfast sandwich served on a perfectly baked biscuit, and both were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I even bought their after-meal herbal tonic a try--not sure if it worked, but like to try it to give my stomach more energy and room to eat!!!

Just in the mood for a small, quick lunch, saw Birdie's and decided to give it a chance. Slices are monstrously sized, and very reasonably priced. They also offer basic beer and wine, so we opted for 3 slices and shared a glass of wine. The food came out very fast and was piping hot. The slices were a bit greasy- we used some paper towels to dab some off, but they were tasty nonetheless and paired well with the wine. Overall, we had a pleasant and quick lunch here; the staff was nice and it's decent value for the price point. Would recommend.
