And people aren't taking em just to line pet cages, either. In fact, a lot of people read the Xpress (though they ARE likely to end up in cages after they're read). It's a great place to find out about local and regional politics, especially around election time. There are interesting horoscopes, and movie reviews, and the 'news of the weird' is perfect for those times in line at the grocer, or waiting for your honey at the cafe. If your new to Asheville it can be a great resource, especially for music.

My main was the stuffed shells with a piece of the absolute best garlic cheese bread EVER!!! My partner had chicken tenders and steak as his main! Everything was delicious! We'll definitely be back to this location!

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]

He offered his apology, a refund, and an appreciation for the feedback. It goes a long way when a person takes responsibility, especially business owners. Based on his explanations to me, which fit my experience, they were understaffed by 1 person, and also had double the traffic that they do on a usual Tuesday. I don't know if I'll ever be around this area enough to give them another shot, but I do appreciate reaching a real human, especially in this day and age. Old Review: "Yes, I'm reposting my Google review so Yelpers don't miss it: This was a total disapointment. What a terrible meal. Don't take them up on Tuesday's "BOGO" night for hamburgers. It was bread on a tray with a flavorles, overcooked bison burger hockey puck, a side caesar drowning in dressing, and water that came at the end of the meal. Stay away. Yuck. Oh yeah, and weak drinks, more sugar than anything else."

Whenever it's 50 degrees or higher I typically go for a cold brew coffee but I was intrigued by the Cesspool of Cinnamon which was essentially a cinnamon latte so I went with that and it was so very good. Highly recommend! Loved the little touches here as well, like the little overhead line system they had to share orders with the baristas and the cute menus/signage that outline what each beverage is comprised of.
