    Berries & Cream Waffle Chai Latte

    Waffles are to die for! I was very impressed with both food & beverage. Very clean & welcoming environment. Merchandise available as well.

    I just found my new favorite coffee shop in the Greenville area!! I decided to try Mountain Goat after a recommendation from a friend and wow, I am so glad I took the suggestion! The atmosphere of this coffee shop is incredible, from the music playlist to the seating arrangements it really gives off a welcoming community feel. The employees were so kind and super helpful to answer any questions I had. I got a honey ginger latte with oat milk which cost $7.02, this latte included fresh ginger and the flavor was excellent, well worth the price tag. I sat and worked on editing photos for a couple hours and thoroughly enjoyed my time! I will definitely be back soon.

    My husband had had the waffles and was talking about how tasty they are so we went to get some coffee and waffles Saturday morning. I got the berries & fruit liege waffle and a latte. The waffle was indeed yummy and the fruit was plentiful and truly fresh as well. The employees were all super friendly. Great atmosphere and an even better cause. I will be back!

    I'm a fan of Mountain Goat. I visited on a weekday early evening for two days in a row and ordered a cold brew and cortado. The vibe. It was like walking into a mix of a bike shop, cafe, coffee shop, and mountain store inside a repurposed auto body shop or warehouse. The furnishings are low budget items, nothing fancy. Looks like someone went to Home Depot, bought some lumber, and put together the counters, bar, and displays. Some of the furniture looks like it can from second hand shops. That may not sound flattering but it's done well to create a hip vibe. Music is played on a speaker from one end of the room and it seems like the barista who is working selects music they'd like to listen to. One day they played Indie music. Some of the items they sell in the cafe add to they feel. For instance, they sell Goodr sunglasses and portable camping stoves. Coffee and equipment. Mountain Goat serves Methodical coffee, the best in the area. Their espresso machine is a La Marzocca Linea Classic. Their espresso grinder is Mazzer. I was so glad to see they brewed their coffee on a Fetco machine. Menu. They serve alcohol. Their coffee menu is a simple menu including Cold brew/hot brew, cortado, latte (milk, chai and matcha). They also had a few specialty drinks whose names and chalk writing added to the hip atmosphere (Strawberry Fields Latte). They also serve some delicious looking cold sweet treats and of course their Greenville's own Liege Waffles. What I found most amazing was how many lives they have impacted through their sales. Check out what they are doing for youth! Both of my drinks were good and I'd go back again. I saw folks gathering in small groups, using the meeting room, or like me either by themselves reading a book or working on their computer.

    Loved the mountain goat and their mission. "Every purchase provides free outdoor adventures, mentoring & job training for at risk kids." I saw a photo on maps and showed them the latte I saw and they recreated it even though it's no longer on the menu. Very sweet staff and great atmosphere. I went there to study but found myself so calmly looking out the window warm with gratitude and a tasty latte! I would recommend this place to everyone. It gives a California or Charleston vibe. Also: I'd you sign up for their email list, on your birthday you can get a free waffle! Enjoy!

    I've never been to a coffee shop and wanted every piece of merchandise they sell . Such an amazing coffee place with the best waffles in town. If you've never had Liege waffles do yourself a favor and check them out Wednesday mornings. Whenever we are in town, we always make at least one trip here.

    Lavender something or other. YUM!

    Awesome loaded waffles, great helpful baristas. Busy on waffle days, but always speedy accurate service.

    One of my favorite coffee spots in Greenville. Hard not to love and support a business whose mission is to provide life-changing opportunities for at-risk youth. 100% of their profits goes to just that! A cafe, bar and bike shop that serves draft beer, craft coffee and authentic Liége waffles means there's something for everyone to enjoy. We will keep coming back.

    The gossip was all true... great place to stop for a meal while you're on I-40 (or as the locals we…read morewere chatting with told us, stop by anytime!). Extremely friendly service. The locals raved over the nachos and I heard them ask for the recipe. I'm here to rave to you over the side salad. You get a choice of "boring fries" (their name not mine) or a side salad with your sandwich. Holy cow, that's the best side salad I've ever had. No boring iceberg and insipid tomatoes here. Spring greens, sweet onion, shaved fennel, gourmet tomatoes, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Craisins and lots of fresh herbs with an amazing house-made vinaigrette dressing. Impressive. Absolutely make a stop here and see for yourself.

    This is the best food in Swannanoa and literally 2 minutes off I-40. The beer is great as well but…read moreno joke the food is to die for Nola inspired grub. Killer vibe inside with 10 seat bar, 2 lounge areas, hightop seating and a large/covered dog and kid friendly patio. Best chicken sandwich and roast beef sandwich in all of WNC. All the sides, apps and desserts are amazing and worth going back to fryer everything on the menu. Chef Dano(founder of Root Down) started with a food truck rocking out at all those amazing Pisgah Brewery outdoor shows and most recently ran the food program at salvage station(RIP). Our guy is back and now are doing the same high quality tasty fare in beautiful West Black Mountain

    There are meals, and then there are experiences so transcendent they seem to suspend time…read moreitself--this restaurant delivers the latter with breathtaking precision. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in an atmosphere that feels almost otherworldly. The lighting is soft yet intentional, casting a warm glow that dances across thoughtfully curated textures and finishes. Every detail, from the subtle fragrance in the air to the gentle cadence of the music, feels orchestrated to quiet the outside world and invite you into something rare. And then--the food. Each dish arrives not merely as a plate, but as a composition. Colors are layered like brushstrokes on canvas, aromas rise in delicate waves, and the first bite... the first bite is nothing short of revelatory. Flavors unfold with stunning complexity--bold yet balanced, indulgent yet refined. It is clear that every ingredient has been selected with care, every technique executed with mastery, and every pairing designed to evoke emotion. What sets this place apart, however, is not just technical excellence--it is intention. There is a story in every course, a quiet confidence in every presentation, and a sense that the kitchen is not just cooking, but creating. You don't simply eat here--you feel here. The service elevates the experience even further. Attentive without intrusion, knowledgeable without pretension, the staff moves with a grace that makes you feel both cared for and completely at ease. They anticipate needs before they arise and guide you through the evening with effortless sophistication. By the time the meal concludes, you realize something profound: this was not just dinner. It was a memory being crafted in real time--one that lingers long after the final bite, long after you've left your table, long after the night has ended. In a world saturated with good restaurants, this one dares to be extraordinary--and succeeds in a way that feels almost magical.

Right by Fluor Field with a fun, lively vibe. We sat outside, which was clean, comfortable, and a great spot to hang out before an event. Service was fantastic. David, our server, was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable, and really helped elevate the experience. For food, we started with the wings (dry rub and Jamaican jerk). The flavors were decent, but the wings themselves were rubbery and a bit underwhelming, especially considering the price point. One standout though... the ranch dressing. Easily some of the best I've had. The breakfast tacos were good overall, and the chimichurri was fresh and flavorful. I think adding a creamy component would have taken them up another level. The sweet potato fries were fantastic. The chicken and biscuit was decent. The Nashville-style chicken had good flavor, but the tenders were on the smaller side, making the portion feel a bit lacking. The biscuit itself was solid. The tallow fries were also well done, and the Lefty's sauce was a nice addition. One unique touch at the end. You're given the option to send a postcard, and they handle the postage and mailing for you. A really fun and memorable detail. Overall, a good spot with great service and atmosphere, though some of the food execution and portion sizes could be improved.
