    Burned loaf of seeded bread
    Nansi G.

    Burned $10 loaf of bread. Unedible Very disappointed. Tried to call. Message left. Emailed too

    Orange blossom poppyseed braid

    While the service was good and the space beautiful, the pastry disappointed. Overpriced with very little flavor, the Orange Blossom Poppyseed braid is almost &9 but there's not a hint of orange. Part of the pastry had salt on the outside. Cold brew was nice.

    Porridge bread

    I don't know what else to say, other than OWL - regardless of location - is simply the best. They deliver perfectly made, naturally leavened breads and pastries. They are refined and exquisite but earthy and inviting - not stuffy and pretentious. I always visit when I am in town and there is always a line of guests. I always buy their porridge bread - it makes the best toast - but all of their breads are wonderful. I love their variety of croissants, cookies, danish and occasionally they have their pasteis de nata. They sell good coffee too. Oh and I love their quiche!

    Old World Leavened- OWL Bakery is not just a place for good bread and pastries, they have an amazing selection of of beverages as well. We thoroughly enjoy the dirty chai's, with a double shot. We always pick up a country loaf and what ever the daily bread special is. The staff are friendly and ready to help, even with a larger customer volume.

    Not a coffee drinker but the wife is. She needs it to function fully so we swung by here in the morning before a day of thrifting around town. Was SUPER busy Saturday morning but staff were firing on all cylinders. Grabbed a few sweet things that looked really good. My favorite was the beautiful berry creme tart. Wife enjoyed the cookie & chocolate croissant. All priced reasonably too. Parking is tight but they are quick if you are grab & going. Good pastries cant speak to coffee.

    Amazing pastries! Cardamom bun, almond croissant citrus danish & ham 'n cheese croissant

    My sweet tooth led me to the Owl Bakery. The pastries were excellent & very well made. I also got an Americano with their house made rose cardamom syrup...Yum! The interior is a cute cozy spot perfect for meeting friends or for doing some remote work/ class work. Parking can be a bit of a challenge in the area but trust me, it'll be worth it!

    Cardamom buns are the best item to get here! They are soft, fluffy, yet also have a decent denseness. They are a mix between a croissant and a cinnamon roll, and the sweetness is very subtle. If you like bread, this will be your favorite bread item.

    OWL BAKERY IS A REAL HOOT | after visiting the first location in West Asheville during COVID, we stopped at the North Asheville for a coffee and pastry. The parking here is awful - it shares a lot with a rehab center and parking is super limited. Pastries are fantastic - from a classic chocolate or almond croissant to a savory strudel or gougere... always very flaky and buttery. The coffee menu is limited but has everything you could need. I love their orange blossom cappuccino! Get in early to make sure you get to choose from their full display. OWL bakery is definitely my go-to baked good stop in Asheville, either location!

    Great fresh breads on a daily rotating special. They make their own coffee syrups and croissants and other pastries.

    The fresh blueberry croissant was flaky, flavorful and absolutely delicious!

    The pastries are amazing! Literally the BEST. Nice vibe. Would be even cooler if it was dog friendly.

    Hole in the wall little bakery with delicious coffee. The real kicker was the homemade pastries that made our mouth water just looking at them through the glass. We did not get any as we had just ate breakfast but wish we did! Will definitely be going back for more!

    May have been one of my top five favorite croissants ever! Highly recommend the onion and cheddar croissant. My earl grey tea was loose leafed and lovely. I am happy to report a class act petit déjeuner! Merci!!

    Pastries!

    I don't know why I slept on this place for so long. You walk in and the smell just draws you in more. We got a coffee walnut pastry, an almond rose croissant, and a ...I think it was called a morning bun for the kiddo. That almond rose croissant is AMAZING yall. I was not ready! The lady at the front suggested it when I looked lost haha. Eager to come back and try more out :)

    The bread was good. The rest - just not sure of the appeal. Maybe it was an off day

    This the THE bakery. Croissant heaven. We're so lucky. Too bad there's not more seating.

    When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. 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!

    This appeared to be a new dessert/bakery place in Asheville...and possibly Taiwanese-owned?…read more Not only beautifully inviting and spacious, with plenty of seatings, the place had awesome A/C (a perfect rest stop on a hot day!) as well. 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!
