Stopped here on the way from the airport to Lake Junaluska - what a find!

For a light lunch I ordered a side of chicken salad (was light and not dripping in mayo) so fresh; I also ordered a croissant warmed up and a delicious chocolate truffle for dessert. I wished it took more pics to share but the shop is well kept, quaint and service was quick, efficient and served with smile. Looking forward to visiting again when in town!

Stopped in for a hot chocolate on a freezing day. Had the Irish Cream cake (it was St. Patrick's…read moreday) and man was it good. Busy spot while we were there. Service was fast and friendly and it was a cozy place to get out of the cold.

The ratio of milk to matcha was incredibly off and ended up just tasting like milk. I would still love to come back and see if the coffee is good but for me the matcha was a miss

I was driving through town and thought I would stop by based on their IG account. I love and…read morethoroughly enjoy a perfectly steamed drink with matching latte art. Unfortunately, it seems my drink was handed off from the OG to the newbie. The milk was good, but the art was off. And yes, I am that picky. That's why a picture of the drink is not included on this review. The service was great. Both guys were nice.

The espresso was super tasty - and I'm particular as a home barista. The baristas were super…read morefriendly. Service was quick. Didn't get any food items, so no comment there. Interior of the cafe was rustic but felt homey. Would definitely go back just for the espresso alone.

They are super eco friendly, offering real plates, mugs, cups, and even metal spoons for stirring. They also have compostable cutlery people can grab for takeout items. There is a small bookstore inside, so the atmosphere is very relaxed and studious. The baristas were so friendly to us and everyone else. We loved hanging out here, having breakfast, and watching as other patrons came and went. The biscuits and scones are a must try! I also loved my smoothie, and the coffee is very solid!

Don't miss the jam bar! Definitely a highlight of our visit to Asheville! Apple Maps directions are a little confusing, they are in a medical park and location doesn't look like a restaurant should be there. Apple directed us to the back of the building, we had to look around to figure out we were on the wrong side but there's a small driveway to get you to the right side

An absolutely perfect lunch spot - SO glad we made the walk from downtown to try our luck at…read moreMother. This cosy, comfortable cafe is part-bakery, part-restaurant, and has a beautiful patio for warmer days. The front of house team was all female the day we went, and worked together as a powerhouse to get through the busy lunchtime rush. We were seated pretty quickly at the bar area, so we were able to watch the kitchen at work. The team all seemed so organized and efficient - like watching masters at work! Food and drink menu options are delightful, and we really enjoyed the quiche (seasonal vegetables) and the insanely delicious beet and citrus salad. Portions are very generous and food comes out quickly. The server talked us through wine options by the glass, gave tasters and great recommendations. We later learned that Mother supplies bread to other restaurants in the area - no surprise, it was fantastic. Will be returning every time we're in the area.

The food was absolutely amazing. 10/10. The bread was fresh made same day. The staff was very…read morefriendly and quick. The restaurant had a nice vibe to it, beautiful music, and had some open area for some breeze to come in. Outdoor and indoor seating. Will definitely be coming back!

So glad we…read moredid, the menu has so many good sounding options it was hard to choose which i wanted more (guess I'll have to go back, oh nooo...). I got the thanksgiving croissant and it hits that Thanksgiving leftover vibe so well haha. It is also *massive* which is great--leftovers of the leftover sandwich! The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.

The tea selection is great and so good. The food is very fresh and delicious. You can tell they use only fresh quality ingredients. We have tried several things from the sandwiches and salads. The scones are so good with the lemon curd/cream/jam. We travel over an hour and don't regret it. Will definitely be back many more times.

I tried to go back this year, and am so appalled by the customer service (or lack thereof) that I will now give it 0 stars, so settled for two since I can't do two and a half. Yes, the food and ambiance were wonderful in 2025. I tried to book another afternoon tea party and called a month and a half in advance. This was to celebrate multiple birthdays with a group of busy moms so wanted to get it on the calendar. No one called me back despite the voicemail saying that we would hear back "promptly." I left two more messages in a span of two, three weeks and still nothing. I even emailed, no response. Finally, a friend stopped by in person and was told that the cafe would be short staffed the weekend we wanted the reservation for so the manager needs to see if there are enough people working before confirming. Okay....but why wouldn't you call back to tell me that? Our requested reservation is tomorrow and I still have not heard back from anyone. This is abysmal customer service. As mentioned, food was good but not good enough to treat potential customers like this. Hard pass from now on and will not go back or recommend. *Editing to respond to Victoria -- those were the dates I called and left voicemails. Perhaps there was a phone issue on your end, but I did not even get a missed call. My friend who stopped by in person spoke to a manager. She had to go by twice due to the manager not being available the first time. I also did not get an email response.
