I was in need of a morning cup of Joe after dropping off my pup at daycare, and came across this little gem that is Dripolator. Upon doing quick Google search I saw that it is a chain and offered both coffee and breakfast food options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place offers a quaint little coffee shop vibe complete with small tables, chairs, couches, and lounge chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was quite busy when I arrived but service was still top tier and our food/drinks arrived quickly. My husband ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich, while I decided on their quiche of the day. Additionally, we each ordered a drink and shared a pastry. The quality for the price paid was well worth it and if in the area again, I would be sure to stop by! read more

We came here 3 times in one week just for the vanilla bean frappes. We had a different barista each time, and all of them made the frappes creamy and delicious. We tried other coffee shops in the area, and Dripolator had the best frappes around! Baristas were friendly and welcoming, too. read more

Went through the drive through and it was a great experience. The staff was patient while we decided and ordered. The food was delicious (we got the egg and cheese sandwich and the bacon egg and cheese sandwich). Drinks were also great I had the salted caramel latte. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area! read more

Good Morning Sunshine! So, Ive heard great things about this nice & quaint coffee shop called Dripolater, so I had to give it a try! I ordered a salted caramel latte with soy milk, extra sweet and a sausage, egg & cheese bagel on cheddar bun. Man! They were both tasty! The service was great! I asked whether they had tap to pay because of course I forgot my wallet and they did! They also have free wifi...because of course, mine was inoperable at the time. read more

We stopped on our long drive up to New York. Immediately the baristas inside were so welcoming and warm and were patient when we spent eons looking at the menu. They took time to explain their coffee and offer good options and even explained their roasting process. I got the Baristas choice, which is where the baristas can make what they want and pick a surprise drink, and they made me a lemon blueberry latte, which was spectacular. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was clean and beautifully decorated inside and there was a view of the mountains when we sat out back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will stop again next time we drive back up! read more

I am driving back to Atlanta today, leaving Weaver North Carolina, and decided to stop at Dripolator for a coffee on my way home. I had the lemon coffee and they had no problem, adding an extra shot of espresso for me, and even reheating my coffee before I left.. The breakfast sandwich was hot and yummy, and overall I appreciated their care and friendliness. read more

Something new on Smokey Park Hwy, and it's not another auto parts store? Is that even allowed? Don't say anything, Candlerites, just act normal and maybe we'll get away with this. Pros: Excellent quality Ample, innovative menu choices Charming, friendly employees Bright, welcoming interior Fun merch Cons: No power torque socket sets read more

Bacon egg sandie was impeccable and so was my basic white boy coffee! Keep crushing it!

Love it here! Salted caramel latte for the win! Love this location best! Slated caramel cookie is great roo!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is such a nice location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I grew up going to the original location in Black Mountain and loved it. This was my first time at the Candler location and I loved it![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got an iced mocha for myself and my son of course got a brownie haha. He said the brownie was delicious! My mocha was the best I've ever had. We met a friend there and she had a latte I think? She liked hers as well. She had the egg bites and they looked delicious. I'll have to try them next time! The service was fast and very friendly! I will definitely come to this location again. read more

Amazing Food and coffee! I would highly recommend the almond and tea cake, the bacon egg and cheese ciabatta sandwich , and the killer bee! Great coffee shop with amazing customer service, would highly recommend read more

Adored this location of the Dripolator, located in Candler, NC. Right outside of Asheville this coffee shops gives more of a local feel and is a little less chaotic than the Black Mountain location but serves up the same great menu! From bagel breakfast sandwiches to incredibly delicious fresh pastries, and their coffee is divine as well!! I went in with my ex-in-laws and my two toddlers (weird bunch, I know) and the staff here were so kind and accommodating. I decided it was best that we sit outside under the awning so the good folks in doors could have conversations without my two raucous kiddos bothering them. Perfect choice! I loved my iced americano and my ex-in-laws adored their breakfast sandwiches and hot coffee. When I tell you my girls DEVOURED their banana nut loaf and Goodness Greens smoothie, that's putting it lightly. I will definitely go back when I'm in the Asheville area and you should too! read more

Great coffee. They also have amazing smoothies! I love that they have a drive thru. Wifi is a bonus.

So Good knew favorite item the flavors really pop, but if you don't like walnuts you can barley taste them. Everyone's very nice. read more

Do not sleep on this place! The coffee is delicious. The food is awesome. I don't even like coffee and I can't stop visiting. It's pretty busy so be prepared to wait but the baristas work quickly and they're friendly. Inviting atmosphere with numerous seating options both indoor and outdoor. And it's inexpensive! Prices and taste beat that other popular coffee chain by far. read more

I always enjoy my visits to the candler location. The staff are friendly and chatty. The quiche is really good and I also enjoy their bagels. They say they bake their own goods and I believe them. Baked goods are also tasty. Coffee tastes...like coffee. That's a good thing. read more

A microwaved bagel breakfast sandwich that turned to stone in 10min for $7 incl tip plus they had a show shelf of $10chocolate bars from Dubai and other far off places blocking one's way into the inside seating. Never again. Ridculous that they would offer food of they really dont want to fix it properly. Stay away! read more

Just traveling through and wanted some coffee and a little breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful and they had a fun vibe going. Decided on a regular drip coffee and a cold brew. Wanted a hot latte with skim milk but they only had whole, soy or almond milk. The drip coffee had a berry aftertaste and the cold brew was just way too strong for me after awhile. The breakfast bagel sandwiches were really good with the house made spicy sauce they use. Took a banana bread and lemon poppyseed bread to snack on later. Both were very moist and tasty. read more

Always great service. Their smoothies are well made and the breakfast sandwiches are good too. They have a drive through which makes it quick. read more
