Adorable and delicious coffee spot on Broadway St. very close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Asheville but a bit down the road for more of a neighborhood feeling. Whenever it's 50 degrees or higher I typically go for a cold brew coffee but I was intrigued by the Cesspool of Cinnamon which was essentially a cinnamon latte so I went with that and it was so very good. Highly recommend! Loved the little touches here as well, like the little overhead line system they had to share orders with the baristas and the cute menus/signage that outline what each beverage is comprised of. We weren't here very long but the memorable beverage and cute space made for a 5 star experience. read more

Baristas were friendly and accommodating. Quick service, was a great latte to end our Asheville trip and take on the road. The Orange Vanilla syrup is not overly sweet, and feels more like an orange zest than a syrup. Lots of seating available. read more

Stopped by High Five Coffee while visiting Asheville as a pick-me-up on my walk. The atmosphere was very calm, lots of people were working on their laptops. I got a Golden Milk, which had a mixture of spices, and added espresso to it. It was a great beverage to cool me off on a hot day read more

Cute coffee house with lots of options. The saving grace was a really good raspberry cream croissant. After that, the mocha was $6 for maybe 10 ozs and what tasted like hot cocoa. The cold brew was actually a little weak. The service was quiet and unhelpful .. actually socially removed. read more

The BEST latte I've ever had!! Brown butter caramel is the best flavor!! Lots of seating and parking

Coffee was good but so tiny! Ask for a larger size if you want a nice sized cup. I ordered the egg and cheese and they heat it up after you order. It takes about 5 minutes. The biscuit is more of a cheesy bread. Barista knew his stuff but cashier had to ask him about adding extra shots. There is a parking garage for easy access. read more

The sweet vibe is modern chill and the pastries, from West End Bakery, are flawless. I always drink my brew strong and black but I ordered the Cesspool of Cinnamon, because how could you possibly not, and bam - it's in my top 5 coffee creations of all time. read more

Good coffee and all but I just paid nearly $7 before tip for a latte. Wow. Just wow !!!!!!!

Love the vibe of this place. The coffee is good the everything bagel is great and the people are super nice and helpful.

I had the best iced latte from here! I am generally nervous about coffee shops as the coffee is usually sweeter than I like, but the coffee was so good and exactly what I wanted, and everyone working was so nice! Definitely try if you're in the area! read more

Such a cute spot. Super friendly staff, greeted with a smile and conversations by two separate baristas. They were out of the biscuit sandwich but their everything bagel with cream cheese was great (could use more CC). Brown Butter Carmel latte was delicious! read more

I want to say I like this coffee spot. But they consistently get my order wrong!! I ordered two oat milk cappuccinos today and they gave me whole milk. We left before we noticed. Very frustrated. And a few days ago I ordered a chocolate croissant and they gave me a plain croissant. As an out of towner, I gotta say people who work here are not the sharpest. read more

Nice little spot and super quick service. The cappuccino I had was delicious and strong, which I prefer! With the virus restrictions you still have to order outside so I didn't really get to enjoy the location but it looked nice inside. The staff were friendly and efficient. I just wish my drink had been a big bigger. Would recommend. read more

5 stars for the coffee. I got 2 of their specialty coffee drinks-- they both had simple ingredients but lots of flavor. I didn't try any of the food so I can't make any judgements on that. The shop was cute, fairly quiet and always had numerous people in their working on their laptops, etc. If I lived locally, this would probably be one of my go to places! read more

High Five serves coffee and other speciality drinks plus food. My husband and I stopped to get our morning beverages, a chai for me and a drip coffee for him. During COVID-19 they are doing take out only and are limiting it to one party inside (max of 2) at a time. Our drinks were good so high five. read more

Good food, great coffee. Friendly staff. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Asheville.

Excellent coffee shop. This is a good hangout spot for doing personal work, hanging with fiends or just hanging by yourself. Calm, cozy and comfortable. Clay took my order and was the friendliest barista I've ever met. His wit and personality is what I love about a small coffee shop. This feels like a true locals spot with the charm and customer service to match. Bonus points for this place being close to downtown but having easy parking. Try their iced matcha latte for something for something refreshing that isn't too overpowering with caffeine. Or if your want to caffeine try their cold brew and watch out, you'll be ready to run around the block after one. read more

I really wanted to come try this little place based on the reviews and pictures of all the latte art. I got the Barista's choice and it was an ok cup of latte. Nothing to rave about. Wasn't too sweet nor bitter. I think I was hoping for more with the presentation but I guess due to covid everything is a bit off now. There's some outdoor seating to enjoy your coffee as well. I did enjoy the ordering and pick up process. You ordered inside through a window and then walk outside to pick it up. It kept everyone safe and at a distance. Cute place read more

Needing a spot to work from for a couple of hours, my local expert chose High Five! There are three different locations but this one has convenient free parking across the street and plenty of space to work from both inside and out. They brew Counter Culture coffee and it's clear they're experts in the craft, with barista certifications framed all along the wall. I went with a classic cold brew first, followed by a local bottle of kombuchi (buchi) later. They have wifi but it only lasts two hours, so you have to make another purchase to extend the time. I needed some breakfast so decided to go with a lox bagel platter, served with a locally made everything bagel. This exceeded my coffeeshop breakfast dreams! There was thick cut salmon, onion, capers, and one of the best bagels I've had in a long time. It wasn't overly doughy or thick which I enjoyed. I was fueled and ready to take on the day! On a Saturday, this place had a constant line throughout the morning. It's clearly a great neighborhood spot that I know I would frequent if I lived in the area! read more

Dropped in to get a coffee to go. Lady at the counter behind large plexiglass started taking our order, then another lady from the back ran up and told us to mask up. We didn't get vaccinated to have to wear a mask anymore. CDC says no mask needed once vaccinated. No other customers around. So we walked. read more

Great coffee in a nice space, I had the lavender latte and my husband had the lox bagel and coffee.

COFFEE!! This place was delicious. I love going to different coffee shops and this one had a great name and it definitely deserves a star per finger! I got the cesspool of cinnamon which was unique and extremely delicious. Another thing I love is the art that they display on each of their coffee; it's great and it adds attraction for customers to continue to come. They also have swag if you become obsessed with the location as much as I did. You can buy shirts, hats, mugs and even stickers. I hope to visit the place again if I return to Asheville! read more

Delicious Coffee and Pastries! We stopped in for a warm cup of coffee this morning to keep our hands warm while we explored downtown Asheville. We got a Peppermint Mocha and a regular Mocha and both were delicious!! The Mocha was rich and creamy, and the Peppermint Mocha was light and not too over powering in peppermint. They definitely kept us warm!! We also tried the Coconut Macaroon which was enormous and so delicious. Definitely recommend if you want something warm and sweet. read more

These people just don't get it. It's mid-June and they are still closed up tight for walkup service only. Everyone else has indoor service now, but not these guys. Their coffees are really overpriced, they are snooty about the service, and the place is basically in an office building. Lousy customer service; couldn't care less about customers. I vote to skip the next time around. I mean, it's just coffee. No rocket science required. read more

I previously had a great experience here and coaxed friends to return as we drove thru town this weekend. There was a decent line, but we stuck with it and waited. Upon making it up to the register, I asked the barista if they had nonfat milk for my cold brew. I was rudely told they had oat and whole milk, as if I was a moron for asking otherwise. As I waited, several of those ordering after us received their drinks. Upon asking where the cold brew was, the barista making drinks stopped what she was doing and put ice and cold brew in a cup and threw a jug of whole milk on the counter for me to add my own milk. I get that it was busy, and they were likely short staffed, but the service was too poor to consider returning, despite the coffee being very good. read more

Someone taking care of the kids means date hour with the husband. Thankfully I tried out this coffee spot with another adult because as I was sitting there I could just imagine the stress I'd be under if I brought my boys with me. Cute shop, crowded so we got to sit on the stage which was fun. Two lattes and an oat bar... $20 (tip included in that price). Sheesh. A bit steep for me. The iced caramel oat milk latte was very good but nothing I'd be back for. I'm glad I visited (it's my goal to try every coffee spot around here) but I probably won't be back. A SAHM with 3 boys under 5... not a good spot for them. But anyone free and single who has leisure time to spend sipping a yummy latte. This place is for you. read more

When I lived in Asheville, this place was my go-to for good coffee. They have a downtown location and another on Broadway, not too far from UNCA. The Broadway location was my favorite, mostly because of the atmosphere and ample parking (Asheville in general has very little parking--so I consider High Five's gravel lot a gold mine). They use Counter Culture beans, which are roasted in Durham, NC and are pretty popular throughout NC. Whenever I see that a place uses Counter Culture, I'm sure to give it a try. They are generally medium roasts that bring out the nutty or fruity notes of the beans. Not only are the beans good, but High Five's baristas make some solid espresso beverages. I'm always hesitant of places that water-down their americanos or load their lattes with syrup. Thankfully, this is not the case for High Five. Their americanos are top notch and reminisce of European americanos because of the layer of crema on top. Their drip coffee options are usually pretty decent too. I also recommend their food. Sometimes I would study here and just stay through lunch. Their sandwiches are on display and their selection can vary. They are served on a focaccia bread with a side salad. As you will come to find, their atmosphere is welcoming and they keep it pretty warm in the winter. The window seats on the ledge are my favorite! Sometimes the service can be pretty slow if it's crowded, so be aware of that. The quality of the drink is also pretty dependent on who is working. I feel like greater consistency amongst the baristas would make this place even better. Definitely give it a try if you're in the area! read more
