    Potential New Boyfriend is definitely a possibility, maybe could become our regular boyfriend? PNB is a dessert bar/wine bar/listening lounge in West Asheville. It's got good vibes, delicious desserts, and a great ambience for sampling desserts, sampling records, hanging out. My companion had a basque cheesecake with a marvelous marshmallow topping and I had a very large slice of tiramisu. We enjoyed our stop. Could it be love? It's a definite possibility!

    This place is fun and funky as hell! Love the vibes, very chill and easy to just hang out. Super cool place, people were nice and it was fast to sit despite the line

    Live DJ for bring your own Vinyl night. Such a cozy place to hang out and get a great Tiramisu. It was so light and creamy, I wanted to rewind time to eat it again. Service was friendly and quick if you needed something. Drinks were good and reasonably priced.

    Wow, wow, wow, loved this place! Potential New Boyfriend is a wonderful spot for a snack (sweet or savory) and cocktails, perfect for a small group or date. The interior is lovely and fun: living room style seating, 80's kitsch, old school audio speakers, vinyl spinning in the corner for a throwback vibe. The menu is tightly curated offering charcuterie, sandwiches, desserts and ice creams. Not a full meal type place, a drop and grab a drink and snackies type place. Service is top-notch and patient, they'll walk you through the drink choices and the desserts all have pairing suggestions. Overall it was a fantastic stop for me after dinner across the street. If you're playful and fun, you'll likely love Perfect New Boyfriend. It's probably not for everyone but it was quite perfect for me...

    This was one of favorite visits during our trip to Asheville. Love the whole speakeasy 80's vibe. Amazing service! And the drinks and desserts were outstanding. We had an amazing visit!

    PNB is my new favorite place to hang out. It's a hi fi vibey listening studio that serves wine, coffee, tea, and dessert. On Tuesday's you can bring your own vinyl and their DJ will do alllllll the spinning for you! I got the dessert flight and cafe con panna which were incredible. The struggles and blueberry sundae had so much flavor. Already thinking about our next visit!

    I've been following them on IG for awhile now and excited to visit this place on the next trip to AVL. I finally got to check it out this week. We arrived on Tuesday at 5pm. There were only a couple other people here so we had our pick of the seats. We found a comfy couch with a low table and were greeted immediately. Our server was pleasant and explained the menu thoroughly to us. It's divided between regular wines, and then there's a side dedicated to more adventurous and unique offerings. These are generally smaller and stronger pours. They also specialize in desserts - ice cream primarily but also some other cakes and confections. Much as I wanted to indulge in the dessert, we were there just for a pre-dinner drink, but next time I will get the ice cream! Our server let us sample a couple before committing to a glass. I tried the standard bubbles and enjoyed that tasting, so I got a full pour of that. My partner got something a little more exotic but it was interesting and tasty. We really enjoyed our visit here - it's super bright and vibrantly decorated - pops of color everywhere. And it's a listening lounge, so you can see all of the high end audio equipment, speakers, etc seamlessly placed throughout the space. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, catching up, and everything in between. Price wise, it's fair for the quality of the service and product. I can't wait to go back! @azfitfoodfun

    Petite cheese plate

    This place is a very cute restaurant/lounge that I decided to go in the afternoon on a Sunday and do a little work while I was sitting there. I began with an Affogato, delicious! I had great service and the music was bumping. Nice touch. I enjoyed that people were coming in and contributing their own records as I was sitting there. I ended up also getting a nice n/a beverage and I ended my visit with the petite cheese plate, which was also really delicious. Luckily, I had more honey randomly in my purse and it just made the meal perfect but I'm sure if I asked for just a little dollop more, it wouldn't have been a big problem. Definitely recommend Such a cute spot.

    Loved this. It's super cute inside, they were spinning vinyl, and our server was very sweet and knowledgeable. I went with their vermouth of the month, an orange spritz, and the key lime sundae. The key lime sundae was incredibly good, I would recommend.

    N/A drink menu

    Great food, great service, the vibe is modern mid century. This is such a cute date night/day spot.

    Went in for my birthday, and really loved the vibe. DJ spinning vinyl, cocktails are spot on, service is amazing. I almost don't want people to know about this place it's that cool.

    Don't have the energy to be critical rn and finding any flaws with our experience would be difficult so here it is: everything was perfect - the space and vibe, the service, the food, the coffee. Everything. Check 'em out.

    Homemade truffles
    Sandy L.

    My husband and I went to Potential New Boyfriend for a little date night, and it was incredible. I'm obsessed with the vibes--amazing music, an eclectic yet cozy atmosphere, and a really interesting wine selection. We tried the sparkling red Lambrusco and loved it! The truffles were also great and they happened to be $1 that night. It's perfect for a vibey night spot on a date or with friends since they do have some seating for groups--mainly in a couch area, depending on how busy it is since it is on the smaller side. Overall, so worth the hype. That's my rant!

    Hearty, delicious and satisfying food in a low-lit, noisy environment…read more This was our first visit to Bull and Beggar. The restaurant's decor is eccentric - lots of taxidermied wildlife, cookbooks, and (from our vantage point in the loft) giant jars of Duke's mayonnaise - and the food is worth going back for. I had the steak frites, my husband tried the pork chop Milanese, and we shared the marmalade tart. My filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the accompanying sauce was silky smooth and addictive. The fries were salty, crispy perfection. My husband gave his pork chop high marks as well. I tried a bit of the sweet pea salad served with it, and I was suddenly 4 years old, following my mom through the garden and eating more peas than I dropped into my little basket. Fresh, pure summer. The marmalade tart was a great way to end the meal. Perfect balance of bitter and sweet. One caveat: This may not be the place if you're looking for an evening of quiet conversation. The room's acoustics bounced every sound off of every wall, and the resulting cacophony made it hard to hear each other or our very kind and efficient server at times.

    In love with everything about this restaurant! Every dish…read morewe tried was delicious and unique. Every dish that the person next to us , guaranteed a return visit so I can try more. Next visit the ribeye for two will be ordered. Presentation is picture worthy!! We sat at the bar. Very friendly!! Love the ambiance and decor.

    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!

    Sweets & Seats definitely lives up to its name!The first thing you notice walking in is just how…read moremany seats there are. I've honestly never seen a bakery this large before. It's spacious but still manages to feel cozy and charming at the same time. The vibe is adorable and a little hard to pin down. It feels like a mix between English tea time elegance and a bit of Spanish flair. It's unique and really something you just have to experience in person. I ordered the fancy carrot cake and it was exactly what a classic carrot cake should be. The flavor profile was spot on. Not overly sweet, not bland, just perfectly balanced with that warm spiced carrot cake taste. Paired with a cortado, it made the perfect little caffeine and sweet tooth moment. A great stop if you're wandering around Asheville and want a cozy place to sit with coffee and dessert.
