    I'm not a southerner, but the biscuits & gravy here may very well turn me into one. I had a biscuit with mushroom gravy & candied bacon. Man did that work up my day. So delicious! Truly comfort food. And I got a flavored latte. The seasonal flavor escapes me, but it sure was good, lol. Another incredible restaurant in Asheville.

    Wow-A crispy on the outside, soft and buttery biscuit with an egg and cheese soufflé was SO GOOD! I wanted to cry when I was finished.

    Such a cool, little establishment. The service was quick, the dining area was colorful and fun, the workers friendly and the biscuit and egg sandwich was pure buttery heaven!

    Stopped by while on a trip in Asheville. Solid spot for breakfast/coffee. The staff was kind and greeted us and didn't feel rushed to place our order. The biscuits themselves are very different from the traditional southern, fluffy or flaky biscuits. Still good, their recipe is a more crispy, crackly biscuit with sweetness to it if you are fan of that type. There are various seating arrangements but I wish it could have been a bit more organized. It's pretty much find your seat when you can - my party as well as two other couples that were waiting behind us were waiting for seats to open up. One table did, but the latest patrons that came in just so happened to be standing there and it kind of sucked they "jumped" all of our waits and took those seats. Outside of how seating is, good & unique place to try out. Would recommend.

    Finally got to visit butter punk & I'm still dreaming about the biscuit I had. I got the OG breakfast sandwich with sage sausage. It had a homemade biscuit, aioli, a soufflé egg, sausage and cheese. YUM. I don't know what kind of magic they used to make the egg but holy cow it was perfect! Can't wait to go back!

    OMG this is by far the best biscuit I've had in my life. I honestly didn't want to stop here because I'm on a diet and didn't want biscuits. But this was the stop and I got the bblt which was omg delicious! The candied bacon. The tomato jam. The buttery biscuit. I ate every bite and even got a to go box with an extra biscuit to make tomorrow for breakfast along with a butternut squash scone and a double chip cookie (chocolate chips and potato chips) which I cannot wait to try. If you're reading this and deciding whether or not to stop, just do it. It's worth the carbs.

    Someone recommended Butter Punk to me as an amazing biscuit. It's a cute location in RAD with a good amount of seating and fun wall paper and little china plates. Overall I think I like my biscuits more fluffy and less crispy, but also the whole sandwich came off very fatty and greasy. The crispy on the biscuit comes from a bunch of butter (yeah I know it's in the name so you get what they tell you) but for me it was too much. The mayo spread they put on it kinda made that greasiness worse. I will say that the soufflé egg on it was phenomenal and I'd eat that alone. I also ordered that special hash brown and I didn't care for it either since it was 90% onion and 10% potato.

    Sooo tasty! Had the regular breakfast Sammie with candied bacon and it was perfection! Whatever kind of seasoning they added to the butter was so tasty and the biscuit had a perfectly cooked golden outer layer. There was a line to get in but it did go relatively quickly. Not a ton of seating inside but cute decor- very Instagram worthy! Staff was friendly enough but they just took your order and served food at the counter. Signs up to bus your own biscuit, I mean table. Definitely a new fave!

    Got here early on a Saturday morning, right before business picked up. The employees were friendly and the space was clean. I've never had a soufflé egg until Butter Punk and it was good! I was on the fence about the biscuits, because I like mine to be light skinned, respectfully. But don't worry, these biscuits have a good bite to them and are still soft in the middle. And the candied bacon whew, fire! Butter Punk you're on to something!

    We've got our normal go to breakfast spot whenever in the Asheville area, but this time wanted to try something new. Searching Yelp for breakfast recommendations near our hotel Butter Punk was one of the top suggestions with great reviews and mouth watering pictures. We arrived just after 10, there is no parking lot for this business, it's just on the main road in the River Arts District, so street parking is the only option. I didn't have to go too far, and was able to find a spot, and walked up to the restaurant to find a short line out the door. It was maybe a 20 minute wait until we were able to get in the door and place our orders at the counter and then we were given a buzzer to take a seat and await our food being ready. Seating is a bit limited, first come first serve, so the smaller your party is the easier you'll be able to find a table. Food came out after a short wait, but not bad at all considering how many people were there. I got the sausage egg and cheese biscuit! This thing was stacked high and I knew I wouldn't be able to unhinge my jaw to enjoy it, so grabbed a fork and knife and went a cleaner route consuming it. It was definitely a tasty breakfast and very filling. I'm glad we didn't go too early, or I may not have been able to eat the whole thing. The interior of Butter Punk is pretty eclectic with lots of bright art and patterns to give you some visual stimulation. The pricing is a bit high, but reasonable considering it's Asheville. Overall this spot definitely gives our usual spot a run for its money...I'm on the line about which is better, but this is one of my top 2 breakfast spots for sure! Their menu is a bit smaller than other spots, but the food is on point. I'm. Sure I'll be back on another visits.

    Beth Kellerhal and Dana Amromin have brought their distinctive, mouth-watering menu to RAD after earning high praise from prior food truck ventures to include Smorgasburg Los Angeles. At Butter Punk, their Butter Bomb Biscuits, among the best l've ever had, are featured in dishes to include the OG Breakfast Sammie with soufflé egg, cheddar and special mayo, and with a luscious mushroom gravy, served with paprika as well as fresh flat-leaf parsley and dill. Service is cheerful and welcoming; the eclectic ambiance gives a perfect artsy vibe.

    Biscuits and mushroom gravy add sausage, add egg.

    Delicious biscuits piled high or a large plate of biscuits and gravy, whatever your heart desires. Come here for breakfast immediately. Super nice staff and delicious coffee. I can see me coming to Butter Punk every visit. Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself. Sidenote, if you drink decaf coffee, you know how hard brewed decaf is to find. They have it!

    Excellent biscuit sandwiches and pastries! Inside is casual and cute. Service was prompt and staff was very friendly!

    Staff was super friendly, I even got a visit from the sou Chef who happened to sit next to me during breakfast. They were very approachable and let me ask them questions. The biscuit was garnished with dill and I loved it! So I ask; why dill? And they said there's dill in the gravy! WOW! Would've never thought about that but ITS AMZING!! Also got the milk tea, which was delicious. This place is so good.. we went back for seconds in the same visit! We snagged brown butter pie and it's heavenly. I need to move down here bc it's so amazing. The inside was also very cute and cozy. Thanks Butter Punk

Outdoor is pretty casual with small tables. Indoor decor is fun, halloween-y, and dark. They have a huge selection of liquor, so everyone will be able to find something they like. Sounds like they change their menu frequently so there is always something new to try.

After you order at the window, they call your name on a speaker and you pick it up inside the bus. My drink was really tasty and smooth. My husband enjoyed his as well and said the blackberry was really strong and pronounced in a good way. I would definitely frequent this place again if I had cash on me. If I didn't, there's so many other coffee places in Asheville that I would probably try somewhere else next time.

It feels intentionally put together without being fussy, the kind of place where you can savor a slow morning or catch up with friends and still hear each other talk. Coffee and vanilla lattes The vanilla lattes were beautifully balanced: smooth espresso, creamy milk, and a vanilla note that tasted more like a crafted flavor than a syrupy afterthought. They were the kind of drink you notice sip by sip--no bitterness, no burn, just a clean, rounded cup that shows how serious Rowan is about its coffee program. Pastries: apple brie galette The apple brie galette was a standout, layering gentle sweetness from the apples with the subtle richness of brie in a flaky, buttery crust that felt more like a bakery feature than a "typical" coffee shop pastry. It paired perfectly with the latte, giving that sweet-savory bite that makes you slow down and actually enjoy breakfast instead of just grabbing something on the go. Pastries: apricot pistachio galette The apricot pistachio galette was equally memorable, with bright, tangy apricot lifted by the nutty crunch of pistachios, again in a delicate, well-baked crust. Together, the flavors were sophisticated without being pretentious--approachable, interesting, and exactly what you hope to find in a city known for its food and drink. Service and overall impression Service matched the quality of the menu: friendly, patient baristas who clearly know their craft and are happy to guide you without any trace of attitude. Rowan Coffee is the rare place where the coffee, food, and atmosphere all show the same level of care, and after vanilla lattes plus an apple brie and apricot pistachio galette, it becomes an easy "don't miss this" recommendation for Asheville.

One thing that stood out to me right away: the barista pulling espresso shots while weighing each pull from start to finish. That level of precision is exactly the kind of detail that makes a coffee nerd like me smile. It shows they care about consistency and dialing things in, not just pushing drinks across the bar. The shop itself has a really cool aesthetic -- minimalist but warm -- with a quiet corner vibe that makes it a great place to slow down and actually enjoy what you're drinking. I started with a cortado, which was beautifully balanced. The espresso came through clearly while the milk softened it just enough -- smooth, rich, and exactly what a cortado should be. Then I tried both of their seasonal drinks. Roses Are Falling (no mocha) was delicate and aromatic, with floral notes that felt intentional rather than perfumey. It was subtle, interesting, and really well composed. I also had the Hello Ruby, which brought a brighter flavor profile and rounded out the experience nicely. Both drinks showed a lot of creativity without losing the coffee itself. Between the precision behind the bar, the thoughtful drink menu, and the calm, stylish space, Rowan is a standout coffee stop in Asheville. Definitely a place for people who appreciate the craft behind the cup.
