    Peach Pie
    Clarence E.

    Cute place with an upstairs seating area plus a few outside. But the service left to be desired. The younger gal at the cash was friendly (nicest) but the one making drinks and possibly the manager/owner seemed too bothered. Perhaps it was a busy Monday afternoon but answering our questions seemed a chore or annoyance. Soup of day, none. Glass of water? As she was handing over cups, she then says it's low upstairs. As I'm waiting, she then says I'm busying making other drinks. Ok, no problem just let me know. They ran out of fig jam for ham apple sandwich and it was just okay, nothing special. Our group liked the quiche that came with meat and other was veggies. The peach pie seemed like canned peaches and just okay.

    Such a nice coffee shop with so much more. Don't miss the cozy upstairs dining area. Order at the counter and they'll bring your food up when it's ready. We came for breakfast and ordered the Breakfast plate. Only scrambled eggs are available, but that's how I like my eggs. I love all the GF bakery items too. We will have to return for the desserts.

    Southwest Burrito
    Mina L.

    Another local -not so hidden- gem. We went there for brunch on a Saturday morning. Such a cute place with a loaded menu. The staff is super nice and friendly and the place has a cute authentic vibe. The southwest burrito and the latte were okay, but the ambiance and the music made up for it.

    Such a cute place. Stopped in to get a Cappuccino which was perfect. Also ordered a spicy Chai latte- man oh man it was sooooo good. Such a welcoming and cozy place. So many people in and out and everyone is super friendly. Upstairs has room to sit and visit. We will definitely go back. Don't change- ever , please.

    Yummmmmmmmm

    Grazie mille, Keely, for creating an absolutely epic cappuccino exactly the way that I had requested. It felt as if it were full of clouds and lifted me above them! Looooooove Appalachian Java Cafe, the perfect spot for a loooooong motorcycle ride on the epic roads in the Blue Ridge. Can't wait to return....

    The coffee shop has a great ambiance, extremely friendly & helpful staff with quick service. The food & coffee was so good we visited it both mornings during our trip & bought treats to take home to our kids. Great little place in a very cute downtown area. Highly recommend!

    One of the best around, not just Burnsville. You have to get the app stacker, chocolate chip cookie, and a peach ice cream smoothie!

Staff so very sweet and helpful. They had a wall of team member's fur babies around a sign about an April 7th fundraiser for Asheville Humane Society. Pooped in for my daily matcha latte and decaf latte. Enjoyed the matcha. I prefer nothing but matcha and milk in mine. If you want any syrups put in you'll have to ask. Decaf latte texturally was great the bean flavor wasn't my vibe. On the day, we were leaving town we wanted to get a box of goodies for our sweet family members who had taken care of one of our pups so that we could get away for the weekend. The team was so marvelous in helping us put together this bountiful box of goodies. Which our family members immediately opened and enjoyed nibbles of all of the different flavors and items. We originally found them when one of our family members was having health challenges and could not have dairy or gluten. They have such a wonderfully inclusive assortment of treats for everyone in the family. Including vegan. Enjoyed people watching sitting on the patio and the dog scene is awesome. Really lovely chill atmosphere with delightful team. They do have restrooms for customers. You're able to tap and pay in addition to cash and traditional credit card purchase. Always a delight to visit.
