    A nice little place next to the Ecusta trail. Delicious espresso. Quick service. Beautiful sunny day in November.

    This is a very fun place to go. It has a market it has a playground. It has a restaurant. It has a brewery. It has a café. Their lattes are absolutely phenomenal! Maybe the best I've tasted in Western North Carolina. The food looks scrumptious. I went on a Saturday and the weight was really long to get food. We opted for coffee and a few snacks from the market. I love this place. I'll be back but maybe on a weekday. The staff were so friendly and the whole vibe of the place is just inviting a hang out.

    What a wonderful stop on our trip to Asheville for vacation. We grabbed some delicious food while our kids stretched their legs. Then we unloaded the bikes for a ride on the Ecusta Trail and grabbed some beers at a nearby brewery. And before leaving we stocked up on supplies at the market for our Airbnb. We'd highly recommend - beautiful aesthetic, friendly service, and delicious food, all right on the super awesome rail trail!

    Half avocado toast and salad.

    I got the golden milk and avocado toast. My husband got the breakfast burrito. I can say we have eaten many breakfast burritos. The one here has so much flavor. I'm know because I tried some. I have eaten at many places avocado toast and golden milk. I absolutely love both here. Beautiful location if you don't like it too noisy then an early hour on a week day would be nice. I haven't been here on weekends yet. Don't worry I will and do another post and try different items.

    One of the best spots in town to work remotely. Good coffee (try the Goldie latte), good vibes, good WiFi.

    Great new cafe/coffee spot right next to the Ecusta Trail. Cozy indoor dining space and pleasant outdoor seating. They offer scrumptious local pastries as well as cooked to order plates. This old building has been transformed into a spotlessly clean and inviting destination.

    Iced latte and chocolate croissant

    Such a cute place to visit! Latte and chocolate croissant were both delicious. We loved exploring the market as well. We will for sure be back when we are in the area again!

    Passing through on our way back home and decided to take a little detour to support both my…read morecaffeine problem and a local business. Always a great idea in my book! They have a drive through, but considering that it was my first time here, I wanted to get a better idea of the options/menu, so we went in. It gives off old school diner eclectic vibes, which is cool with me. The staff was friendly and greeted us after finishing up the drink they were making. We took some time to check out the menu & landed on an iced Turtle - one of those listed under "specialty drinks," which was caramel, dark chocolate, and butter pecan. I was a little nervous when I got it because of the amount of syrup in the bottom, so I gave it a good stir. Flavor was a little strong, mostly from the dark chocolate (which I'm not the biggest dark chocolate fan to begin with), but after a good mix, all blended pretty well. I enjoyed the flavor and would certainly drink it again, but would like to try another option to explore more of the menu. Definitely worth a visit if you're passing through the area.

They also have loose leaf tea jars that you can bring up and they will make a cup of tea for you. They have pastries, hand made crafts and other small items for sale. Staff were quick and friendly. Overall it's a cute, old fashioned little place that I would totally come back to next time I'm in town.

    If you've never ate here at Arabella's, you should really go try it out. The food is absolutely…read moredelicious. The decision on making what to eat now is a little hard. It took me a good little while cause I was deciding from three different things. The next time I go, I will get the Cuban sandwich but I ordered this thing with hashbrowns and sausage and gravy and egg and cheese on it. It was absolutely delicious and my friend had that avocado toast the atmosphere the ambience. Their staff was 100% amazing. Try it if you've never been I think you'll really like it.

    This morning my family and I decided to get up early and grab a bite at Arabella's in downtown…read moreHendersonville. Usually we come around 10ish and there's a small wait or the place is just really packed (even outdoor seating). But today we stopped around 8:30 and there was only a couple of tables taken up. We were greeted with a smile right away and taken to a table. We were given 2 different menus. One containing the different breakfast and brunch options they offer and the second one with the coffees and alcoholic beverages. Once you look at the menu you see that there is a lot of the basic breakfast options you can find at other restaurants. But what also makes the menu different is that they offer latin breakfast and lunch items like huevos rancheros, huevos con chorizo, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Since it was so early I decided to go with the huevos rancheros since I've never had them here before. I also decided to go with the honey bear latte (iced) with oat milk as my drink for this morning. My latte was really good! It had hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. The oat milk mixed in perfectly making the latte have a nice creamy taste. Once my dish came out I was happy at the presentation of the plate. I ordered my eggs overhard and they came topped with salsa roja, queso fresco, and cilantro. All of this was placed on top of a fried tortilla and given to me with a side of home fries. Over all I did like the dish. I will say the salsa roja threw me off because I expected it to be a little more spicy, however it had a more citrus/lime taste to it. The home fries however were a 10/10 for me, I liked how crispy they were and how I didn't need to add more salt and pepper to them. Overall I really did enjoy my time this morning at Arabella's. Our server was super nice and attentive with us. The atmosphere is calming. Also it's nice to see the people of Hendersonville coming in and supporting this local business. If you're from the area or a tourist definitely check this place out. You wont be dissapointed.

I tried to go back this year, and am so appalled by the customer service (or lack thereof) that I will now give it 0 stars, so settled for two since I can't do two and a half. Yes, the food and ambiance were wonderful in 2025. I tried to book another afternoon tea party and called a month and a half in advance. This was to celebrate multiple birthdays with a group of busy moms so wanted to get it on the calendar. No one called me back despite the voicemail saying that we would hear back "promptly." I left two more messages in a span of two, three weeks and still nothing. I even emailed, no response. Finally, a friend stopped by in person and was told that the cafe would be short staffed the weekend we wanted the reservation for so the manager needs to see if there are enough people working before confirming. Okay....but why wouldn't you call back to tell me that? Our requested reservation is tomorrow and I still have not heard back from anyone. This is abysmal customer service. As mentioned, food was good but not good enough to treat potential customers like this. Hard pass from now on and will not go back or recommend. *Editing to respond to Victoria -- those were the dates I called and left voicemails. Perhaps there was a phone issue on your end, but I did not even get a missed call. My friend who stopped by in person spoke to a manager. She had to go by twice due to the manager not being available the first time. I also did not get an email response.

Not only was the decor and aesthetic inviting and so detailed but the food was delicious and the service amazing (Jade). We went all out with cauliflower bisque, two different teas and scones (The Hobbit and The Highlander teas), a blueberry cobbler cheesecake and a limoncello. Every part of the meal was delicious. We absolutely will be back and can't wait to try the other teas. We also were able to take the leftovers for our tea pots and this makes me so excited! So many great bookish references -- it made my nerd heart happy
