COFFEE, KOLACHES, AND MORE! (Even alcohol!)…read more I try to avoid Haywood Road however when I heard they have kolaches here I had to come try them. This joint has now become one of my study session go-to spots! My current favorite coffee in town is the fall menu Sweet Potato Marshmallow Latte! Kolache selections vary depending on the time of day, as they're made fresh in small batches. My favorites are the jalapeño egg and the sausage gravy flavors. Inside seating is adequate, and there are some tables with access to outlets. Staff has always been friendly. Music selection is usually really good! The downside is the parking, there is a decent amount of street parking, especially compared to Haywood Road more west of here. I've never had a problem getting a spot during morning/early afternoon on any day of the week. If you're on the opposite side and trying to walk across the street, cars don't stop for you at the crosswalk in my experience

They have some yummy treats for purchase. They have some unique flavors that are pretty good. Loved my seasonal sweet potato latte never had marshmallow in a latte before but worth the hype.

I have been wanting to try a banana pudding latte since I first heard about them recently. I…read morethought the concept sounded a little weird, but when I saw it on the special menu here, I had to go for it. I was NOT disappointed! The banana flavor was spot on, like a true banana. Not like the typical artificial banana flavoring you'd find in a candy. It was sweetened just enough and topped with little vanilla wafer pieces. We were only inside for a short period of time, but this was a really cute place with comfy seating and a calm, quiet vibe. Staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing that could have made my drink better would have been more ice, but then I would have less of my delicious beverage, so I can't really complain.

We arrived at around 7:15 am and were greeted by two regulars hanging out front with their dogs, which meant that Mrs. K. got her morning dog fix before we even made it inside. That set a great tone for a good day. The welcome inside was warm in the small town way that feels genuine instead of forced, just easy smiles and a quick hello as I ordered. It was rather quiet when we arrived but the folks seemed to start pouring in as we sipped our coffees. My cortado was excellent even if it was in a paper cup. Mrs. K. was happy with her latte which is the proper test. We lingered a bit, enjoying the quiet and watching Black Mountain wake up around us before getting back on the road. A great little stop just off I-40 and a perfect start for the day. Five stars! [Review 540 of 2026 - 4635 in North Carolina - 25722 overall]

There's both inside and outside seating here at this very interesting shop. The menu was larger than I expected with lots of coffee, tea, hot chocolate , sweet and-savory food items to choose from. I got a homemade watermelon and lemonade slushee that was small but wonderful and very refreshing. One star dedicated due to the small size for the big price. Most got some form of coffee, both hot and iced. I heard a few sat one coffee was much better hot than cold, but not being a coffee drinker I can't remember which one it was. The hot drinks I saw had cute designs on top such as hearts and faces. This added to the fun of drinking the coffee. We will probably stop here again when we come through.

I had a great chocolate chip cookie but they are known for their caffeinated drinks as well. From the eclectic atmosphere to the kind staff and amazing treats this place is a winner.

The latte art was also impeccable and the cardamom rose flavor was balanced. Seating was limited when I last visited to some seats/small tables that lined the wall.

When we got there the parking lot was absolutely packed, but by the time we left we were the last car remaining since they were about to close. The line was short and the service was fast, although at nearly 2pm this was probably a late lunch for most. The woman behind the cashier was super friendly and helped us choose sandwiches and also gave us some tips on what to check out in the arts district after. I went with the classic sandwich and thought it was pretty tasty. However, my husband and I also split a carrot cake and that was the real winner of the lunch. And I washed it all down with an iced latte, which I regretted later that evening when I couldn't fall asleep due to a late coffee. I have to cut myselff off from caffeine at noon these days. It was a beautiful June day so we enjoyed our lunch outside and then checked out some galleries in the area. It was quick, easy and tasty and I'd be up for another lunch here if in the area.
