They have a variety of beverage and food options, lots of seating (not just the indoor cafe, also an outdoor patio a short walk around the corner), wifi and power outlets, and a restroom.

Today my little granddaughter had the French toast. She loved every bite. My favorite thing is the sausage gravy biscuit, so hardy and tasty. Avocado toast is served on the best multigrain bread and just the right amount of avocado, pickled onions and everything bagel seasoning. A must while visiting Weaverville.

You order at the cash register and then find a seat. The staff is very welcoming and warm. I was there with two other friends and we ordered three entrées and we wanted to share. The kitchen cut them up and served them so that we could all taste everything. Down to giving us each two onion rings! Lol Now for the food...perfect. It came quick. It came hot. It came delicious. We had the sweet sausage, a cheeseburger, and a Philly cheesesteak. Everything was just the way I remember from childhood. Walk don't run to this great little spot in Woodfin!

The location of this restaurant fit the bill and the reviews were mostly very positive. Bottom line is we really liked all the food. It came out piping hot and was flavorful. Seating was available both inside and outside. It was obviously a popular place to eat. If you are in this area and want to try somewhere new, I highly recommend the Centerville Luncheonette.

Stopped by The Rhu in Asheville, which comes from the same team behind Rhubarb. We grabbed a few…read morepastries to try... croissants, cinnamon rolls, and of course a chocolate chip cookie (because it's always cookie time somewhere). Everything we ordered was good and clearly well made, but nothing really stood out as something I'd go out of my way to come back for again and again. The chocolate chip cookie was the most memorable item, but not necessarily in the way I expected. It leans heavily into a salted dark chocolate flavor profile. If you close your eyes, it almost feels more like eating a salted dark chocolate bar than a traditional cookie. If that's your thing, you'll probably love it. Personally, I tend to look for a little more balance between the sweetness, chocolate, and salt in a cookie. Overall, a nice stop for pastries while walking around Asheville, but nothing that quite pulled me back for repeat visits.

The ambiance is friendly and great for connecting with friends. The barista was so kind and friendly & also quick! The girl at the counter who took our order however ; she was rude, unfriendly, frustrated with me asking questions about the menu options. She was impatient with me reading over the menu and learning about their items. She had a terrible unwelcoming face the entire time we were at the counter. Very unfriendly for how lovely this coffee shop was. Thankfully the barista made up for that experience.

I liked the name so much because I was the type of person who used malaprops a good amount. It's extra charming because you're able to order something from their cafe while reading your book. This spot is deceptively huge. The different sections are very intentional and beautifully organized. I had an especially great time looking at the "Beautiful Books" section this visit. I ended up falling in love with a short stories book by Chips Hardy that I took home. I also adored their graphic t-shirts here. I am not a big t-shirt person, but always want more graphic tees, so was so excited to love this one so much. I had a really special experience with one of the booksellers here on my recent visit too. I could not find The Enchanted April in the fiction section and when I asked, one of the booksellers got really excited about the author and that book. She passionately told me how wonderful the book was. We were sad to see it was sold out, but suggested I check a bookstore a block over. I love this bookstore and think everyone should make it a stop on an Asheville trip.

It seems as though it's only open until the afternoon though, as it wasn't staffed when we were there. But there's still plenty of seating if you wanted to sit a spell. The bookstore portion is really well curated with a nice "local" section featuring local writers and interest. I love checking out this section when I travel and there was a ton to dig into here. They also have a good sized kid's section most notable thing is how many books they offer with autographed copies. That means they seem to bring in a ton of writers which is so exciting for the Asheville community. Speaking of community, I peeked at their events calendar and it looks like they have a ton of book clubs in a variety of different genres that meet regularly. So no matter your interest (romance, science fiction, mystery, horror, etc) you can find a meetup. Some are hosted in store but others in local breweries, libraries, and other third spaces in the area. Excellent offerings across the board!

Coffee is good, and it feels so cozy in there! It was super relaxing and a great calm activity to check out to relieve stress and relax. It was so chill and I really fell in love with these cats. The people there seemed very eager and happy about introducing you to these kitty's, you could tell they were passionate about this! I came in on a nice rainy afternoon and I loved it! The best part is you can come with family, friends, or alone! Great for both kids and adults! Heck, if my cat didn't dislike other cats I would probably have adopted a new furry friend! This is amazing if you love cats and want a nice cozy place to snuggle up with a furry companion!

The breakfast sandwich was a little small, especially for the price. The biscuit was okay but I thought that it was dry. We couldn't see much from the rooftop because it was so foggy, which obviously can't be controlled, but we couldn't sit on the cushions outside because they were wet. I am assuming that they were left outside because it had rained the night before and some of the cushions were dirty too. It's really cute inside and the spot is worth checking out on a clear day.
