I really wanted to like Short Street Cakes, especially because I was considering them for my…read morewedding cake. My experience was confusing and disappointing. I called one week and they explained the process to me and were very kind and chipper and gave me a direct number to call and place an order. When I called the number a week later, the number was a personal line. So I called the store number and they told me that it wasn't possible that I was given a different number and sounded quite annoyed with me. They don't allow tastings for weddings unless you have 75 guests or more... so I ended up having to buy 2 whole cakes to try 2 flavors and it felt like a total waste of money and was highly disappointed. The frosting was far too sweet and gritty on both flavors - after 1-2 bites I felt sick... and I LOVE frosting and sweets. Additionally, after 1-2 days the raspberry filling in one of the cakes had gone sour and started to mold. Really bad experience and was really let down by the customer service and the product itself. :(

In the search for a coffee shop, not much was open on a Saturday at 8am. Lucky for us we ran into…read moresome locals, who quickly directed us towards Old Europe Pastries. That's where everyone was at 8 am on Saturday morning. The cozy coffee shops with indoor and outdoor seating was conveniently located. We ordered a couple of coffees, some lattes, and picked up some croissants. Everything was great! The service was exceptional. The line was long, but the staff did a great job moving it along and taking orders. We did have to wait a bit for our order, but that was expected given the amount of people.

After breakfast we decided to go wander the self guided South Slope Mural trail to enjoy some of…read morethe large scale works on the side of the buildings, when we came across Vortex Doughnuts. Finding it, we decided to pop in and grab a donut to hep fuel the rest of our mural walk. Unfortunately the selection by 11am had been a bit picked over. There wasn't any wait when we arrived, so we weren't pressed to hurry with our order and could see what our options were. They did have a selection of both yeast style donuts and cake style as well as gluten free. They also offered a few different coffee/espresso/mocha drink options along with milk, oj and hot chocolate. We opted to share a cake style chocolate frosted. The donut was OK, but a bit dry for my liking, and the the chocolate also wasn't overly sweet. But it's all subjective an what wasn't right for me could certainly be great to others. I'd consider trying another favorer/style of donut if in the area again.

Really amazing cake donuts! We tried 4 of them and the…read moreEspresso & Old Fashioned were my favorite. They had a few seasonal options too. Reasonably priced but it would be cool if they ran a buy 3 get 1 deal (or something like that) after 1pm so they don't waste so many donuts. The staff was in a bit of a rush to close the shop despite the fact that I went 45 minutes before closing but were friendly enough. Definitely add it to your list if you are craving high quality donuts in Asheville!

My nephew and his friend were visiting a few weeks ago and wanted to hang out at Harvest Records,…read moreso I decided to grab a bite to eat at Walk. It was my first time dining there because I am still new to the area and finding my "local" spots. I asked that my burger be cooked on the well side of medium, but not charred! Undercooked burgers are really tough on my digestion, but I don't like the flavor of well-done. My burger was very undercooked from what I expected and the staff was very understanding about taking it back to the kitchen. Then I heard profane yelling from the kitchen area. The person next to me at the bar is apparently a regular and said, "Don't worry, they will cook you a new burger. That's just the kitchen manager having a bad day". I quietly ate my new burger that was cooked to a much better color, but it was difficult to actually enjoy it. I do not feel welcome at this establishment and will not be returning.

The Baklava Beignets came out HOT and were so flakey and fluffy inside. I did not really taste the baklava flavor, so I wish those spices found in a baklava came through more. It came with a syrup which definitely elevated the flavors. I did not get to try the Double Strawberry Shortcake, but cousins really liked it! It is also a cheesecake for anyone wondering. I would come back to try their other desserts, especially the dessert cocktails. I think there are even savory options too!

The cupcakes were almond flavored and the cake was split up into 3 different flavors: carrot on top; chocolate in middle; champagne on bottom; and all with a raspberry filling and swiss meringue buttercream for icing... IT WAS PHENOMENAL! Everyone loved the flavors. A favorite seemed to be the champagne (don't know how to explain the flavor, you just gotta try it). I also had her do buttercream flowers that cascaded down the cake onto the cupcakes. It was soooo sooo beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at it. She truly outdid herself and beyond exceeded my expectations. She was easy to communicate with, very dependable and I didn't have to worry about a thing on my wedding day. I loved working with her and I honestly miss that cake! I will make sure to upload a picture when I get one. Thank you Sabrina for making my wedding day all the more magical.

Out of stock items: watermelon (take down the special advertisement!), beets, strawberries, and bananas. I was not informed that the strawberries and bananas were out of stock until after being served my incomplete bowl. This next part is on me but I expected their fruit (blueberries specifically) to be fresh, not frozen. Their "ciabatta" bread had zero characteristics of real ciabatta bread. I would've much rather seen it described as "homemade bread". The positives of the experience: it's an inclusive cafe, the staff was friendly (they may forget to mention oos items), and there was a clear effort to provide a sustainable experience. Overall, I would not make an effort to visit and spend money here. Other customers seemed to enjoy it, so I hope I just ordered the wrong items. To the business: please work on your inventory management! There is no excuse for running out of ingredients if they are frozen.

My groom is also gluten free, and this bakery was so accommodating of that for him, giving us cupcakes and a layer of cake that he could eat so we could still feed it to each other after the cake cutting without him getting sick.
