Sourdough Batard
Stephen R.

This was my first visit. We found out about the sourdough from the local grocery stores that sell it. So yum. Had to stop by and see their other goodies. I am always a sucker for an apple fritter and theirs is like monkey bread. Great flavor. You can eat inside or there are a few tables outside. If you walk in not hungry, this will change very quickly. So many yummy smells. I will try a breakfast sandwich the next time we stop by. Staff is very friendly, especially Theresa who helped us with the sourdough order.

THIS IS THE BEST SOURDOUGH BREAD IN THE WORLD. I've had sourdough from San Francisco to Paris, and I'm telling you, City Bakery is everything. We drove from our property in Maggie Valley all the way to Asheville just to buy it from the source. Theresa, a beautiful soul, is soooo kind and found us an extra loaf to buy in back. But then, we bought a challah (something I only just discovered) and my better half went for a pastry. Everything is ohhhhhmyyyyygoodness...lush! They have an extra dining room for those ordering in/brunching. If you buy nothing else in Asheville, buy City Bakery bread! I'm in love.

Sticky Bun
Jojo J.

The craving hit and City Bakery quenched it! After a morning hike, I was in the mood for a delicious, naughty treat and City Bakery delivered! The moment I walked in, the warm, buttery aroma had me hooked. I went for a sticky bun... Absolute perfection. Flaky, rich, sticky, and just the right balance of sweetness. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere cozy, and every bite was worth it. Can't wait to come back and try something else out!

Stopped here early in the morning to pick up some beads for breakfast. We got a bagel, a croissant, an Apple fritter, and a chive and onion biscuit. All were very good as it was fresh. Did not try any of the sweet treats. Patrons were there early picking up bread and ordering sandwiches. The service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back again if I'm in Asheville.

What a cute little cozy gem. A cold overcasted and smokey :( day. We looked at the continental breakfast from our hotel room and decided that would not be how our bellies got full. So we came across this cute place. What a cozy place tucked in a small little down outside of Asheville. My GAWD these cheddar, bacon and green onion biscuits are heavenly! We both got that sausage egg and cheese and (without cheese) sandwiches and man oh man are they HUGE! We killed them in just a few short minutes. We spent about just close to $13 $5.75 a sandwich. We also bought some stuffing bread. Bread that is made to be cut up (cubed) baked / toasted off and used for stuffing. Also beware they do not take apple pay (tap) you must have card, cash or be able to order online. We will be back!

Avocado   Lime Salt Toast with Matcha - Small

Love this spot! I would come back! The sour dough was fresh and the sprouts/ avocado was fresh. The matcha was perfect!

Coffee and bagel to go!
Allison M.

This place has been a fav for years. From sitting to enjoy a brew to grabbing to go, I love it. The parking and drive is pretty crazy but if you go on a more off time, it's easier to navigate that parking lot and turn. The staff are always so kind. They stay busy. The bread and baked goods are wonderful. From cinnamon rolls to cookies, they have it all. I love those bagels. Especially toasted as a sammy. They have great vegetarian options. Pretty expensive these days but isn't everything? The coffee is not cheap but definitely quality. They have a ton of options as well as fresh hot brew. Nice places to sit and work or chat. Pretty loud and sunny though.

Hawaiian sandwich: Turkey avocado bacon on a Hawaiian bun
Karyn S.

Hearty and delicious breakfast! Both locals and visitors filled the place. The homemade breads put these sandwiches over the top! We'll be back soon!

Avocado Lime Salt Toast + egg
Meagan R.

The avocado toast is AMAZING!! Super filling and has a hint of lime that was so delicious.

Garden Bagel
Sharvani M.

We were looking for lunch from a local bakery that also served sandwiches on their house bread, and City Bakery came up as a recommended option. What a great choice! We reached the spot around 2pm and quickly ordered - the seating was spacious and there was good room for our party of 8. I got the Avo Melt (avocado, goat cheese, tomato, spinach, and basil) grilled to melty perfection with a side of chips. My family got the Avogoddess (avocado, mozzarella, tomato, cucumber, spring mix and green goddess sauce) and the Garden Bagel (garlic herb cream cheese, sprouts, spinach, cucumber, red onion on everything bagel), both of which they really enjoyed. DEFINITELY get a side of their green goddess side to lather onto any sandwich you get - this sauce is perfection, and is like pesto and mayo had a beautiful and tasty baby - it elevated the sandwiches and even our chips. Minus one star for running out of bakery items pretty early and small portion sizes for each sandwich, but overall a solid light lunch spot!

I was grateful to be able to get a seat at the bar, with a less than 10 minute wait. It is honestly worth it! The staff was warm and welcoming, even with tending to loads of customers (this is a true skill and art). The ambiance is upbeat and lively! Imagine a roadside breakfast parlor. I sat at the bar and it was good vibes! The hostess used to live in my hometown (who woulda thunk it) & I met the coolest guy from Boston, who has a golden doodle named Nugget back home. Good vibes all the way, which added to a special experience. He was flying back home after his meal. Now, onto the food (the part you all have been patiently waiting for). I ordered a hibiscus tea as my beverage (warm and refreshing). I also ordered the carrot cake hotcakes, a side of bacon, and a side of home fries. The carrot hotcakes were luscious! They came with hazelnut butter, and amazing syrup!!! These hotcakes were savory and filling! The bacon had an essence of hickory! A perfect medley between crispy and tender! The home fries were seasoned nicely and I doused them with ketchup and hot sauce! This was an iconic and memorable restaurant experience for me! This is coming from someone who has dined in restaurants around the world! Cheers!

I was staying at a hotel in the Biltmore Village near The Corner Kitchen, and the reviews caught my…read moreeye. I am so glad we decided to go there for dinner. It was elevated Southern cuisine, and we enjoyed it enough that we may go back before leaving the area. The restaurant has a comfortable feel -- upscale, but not stuffy. The service was excellent. The servers were personable and attentive without hovering. At one point, I accidentally dropped my napkin, and our server immediately brought me another one. Our water glasses were continually refilled, and our server checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. My partner and I liked so many things on the menu that we knew ordering soup, salad, an appetizer, and entrées would be too much. We told our server we were sharing, and for most of the courses, they divided the portions and brought them out on separate plates. That was another small touch that showed they were paying attention to detail. There wasn't anything we had that we wouldn't order again. We started with the seasonal soup, which was a tomato bisque, followed by the strawberry and feta salad. The country ham board was excellent and actually had me looking for Lusty Monk mustard the next day. For our main entrée, we shared the shrimp and grits, which was also delicious. Great food, thoughtful service, and a comfortable upscale atmosphere. This was the best meals we had in the area.

We came in for a late night dinner (8:30) and I couldn't have imagined a better place to dine and…read morerest after traveling all day. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, while still being very modern. Our server was very charming and helpful - especially with my food allergies. The food was delicious and we were surprised by a nice amuse bouche (romanesco salsa on a homemade tortilla chip) Warning: on the pecan crusted trout the ginger sweet potatoes were VERY ginger-y. Delicious, but make sure you love ginger before ordering!
