It was a quiet, quaint sit down in town. There was a wait which I hear is not uncommon on the weekends. We were seated as soon as space was available, and the staff were all so sweet! I appreciated that. As I browsed the menu, I saw that the options were pretty limited. I tried the sandwich and my friends had the sandwich and the omelette. Everything was beautifully plated; unfortunately, I did not enjoy my dish. We all had specialty coffee drinks, which were all just "okay." And the menu prices are pretty high in my opinion (considering variety of options and portions). Overall, though I appreciated the warm atmosphere and people, I would not go back. I don't recommend, but do realize it could be a niche spot for those with a specific taste.

There was definitely a wait, but that makes sense for such a popular local spot, and I actually enjoyed that it's connected to a garden area. The food was excellent and came out quickly once I was seated. I ordered a huge pancake, and it was honestly something to admire -- delicious, filling, and with a really unique texture. The staff member helping me was also so friendly and helpful. I was trying to decide whether to add something like eggs or bacon, and she gave great suggestions without making me feel rushed. I also loved the seating options. There's indoor seating, outdoor patio seating, communal seating, and even a slightly elevated outdoor area that feels a little extra special. Overall, this was a really memorable birthday breakfast. The wait is real, but the food and experience made it worth it.

We especially appreciated the ambiance which was artsy and truly resembled the town! BB tip get there first thing in the morning since limited parking available!

They open super early, and when I walked in just after 7 they were already settled, moving smoothly and slinging caffeine like it was the easiest thing in the world. The vibe is comfortable and laid back, exactly what you want before that first cup hits and the day starts to make sense. And then there was my cortado. Made by a barista who actually understands what a cortado is supposed to be. Proper short glass, the right proportions of milk and espresso, and no fuss about it. I was only here for an hour, enjoying the calm and the craft, but I'm sure I'll be back. [Review 1138 of 2026 - 4790 in North Carolina - 26317 overall]

Upon doing quick Google search I saw that it is a chain and offered both coffee and breakfast food options.

Additionally, we each ordered a drink and shared a pastry. The quality for the price paid was well worth it and if in the area again, I would be sure to stop by!

Biscuits with apple butter were ok; for everything else, salt was the general manager!!! Not for us.

It's everything people say it is. The biscuits are fresh, buttery, and absolutely delicious, but the real surprise was the homemade jam. Oh. My. Goodness. The jam deserves its own standing ovation. We even saved what we had left and used it later on a campfire breakfast during our road trip. The biscuit we made at camp wasn't quite the same, but that jam still stole the show. Their homemade butter was another standout, and the coffee menu had plenty of great options. Everything we tried was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and absolutely worth it. The café itself is adorable, and the whole experience made us wish we had found it sooner. If they don't already sell that jam by the jar, they absolutely should. I'd buy it without hesitation. If you're in Asheville, do yourself a favor and stop by ButterPunk. Get the biscuit. Get the butter. And whatever you do... don't leave without trying the jam. Highly, highly recommend!

The line moved pretty quickly and was wrapped out the door, I'd say we only waited for about 15 minutes before ordering and then another 15 after that for the food and two coffees.
