The gentleman tried to make sure I was expecting two shots of espresso and foam, and like a truly uncultured swine, I was like, "Yeah, sure!" When I got it, it wasn't anything like the large coffee-chain muck I've come to expect. They were SO kind and understanding, and quickly (well, with great care), made me a dulce de leche cappuccino instead, which was delish! If you're looking for basic coffee, this may not be your cuppa. But if you want REAL coffee made with care and precision, this is the place to be.

COFFEE, KOLACHES, AND MORE! (Even alcohol!)…read more I try to avoid Haywood Road however when I heard they have kolaches here I had to come try them. This joint has now become one of my study session go-to spots! My current favorite coffee in town is the fall menu Sweet Potato Marshmallow Latte! Kolache selections vary depending on the time of day, as they're made fresh in small batches. My favorites are the jalapeño egg and the sausage gravy flavors. Inside seating is adequate, and there are some tables with access to outlets. Staff has always been friendly. Music selection is usually really good! The downside is the parking, there is a decent amount of street parking, especially compared to Haywood Road more west of here. I've never had a problem getting a spot during morning/early afternoon on any day of the week. If you're on the opposite side and trying to walk across the street, cars don't stop for you at the crosswalk in my experience

We stopped here before visiting the Biltmore, and while parking was a bit of a challenge, it was absolutely worth it. We ended up parking on the street up the hill near some residential homes, but don't let that deter you. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the doughnuts being made right in front of us. There was a line when we arrived, and we waited about 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes or so for our doughnuts. Even with the wait, I'd do it all over again. The doughnuts were incredibly fresh, warm, light, and fluffy. Every flavor we tried was delicious, but the vanilla glazed and the toasted almond sesame cinnamon were my favorite.
