    Enjoying the outdoor seating
    Melissa M.

    Absolutely beautiful spot for coffee! Love it here and the great energy of the surrounding areas! Service was cheerful and suggestive!

    Oat milk and River

    Loving this river location. High five is a solid local choice in the asheville area. It has become a local staple as they have a few locations now. This one might be a new fav. Situated amongst the river in a little bit, this spot is delightful. There are other art spaces nearby and a shared bathroom. The high five shop has some simple breakfast options such as muffins, scones and Sammie's. Their coffee is great. I got an oat milk latte and it was pretty expensive but creamy and delish. They also have kombucha, soda water, beer and non alcoholic options. Cute! The staff were friendly and engaging. Plenty of space to wait inside and sit outdoors. Might be challenging in winter but they do have parking for a speedy visit too.

    Coffee artisans. This spot is one of my favorites in Asheville. On the French Broad without hype and circumstance. The Diablo coffee blew my mind today. Espresso, just a little hot milk, cinnamon, cayenne, sea salt and local honey. I am not one for coffee drinks but this hit all the tastebuds. Enjoy!

    Had a coffee and a cookie by the river. It was absolutely lovely!! I'll be back for sure!

    The first time we tried to come here, it was a torrential downpour and they don't have any indoor seating due to covid. So we came back the next day and it was well worth the wait! The barista was super nice and helpful. We tried an iced cubano and iced barista's choice - on this day it was an oat milk, CBD honey, and cinnamon latte type drink. Absolutely delicious. Plenty of cinnamon on top so it was incredibly aromatic. We also tried an egg and cheese biscuit and that alone was worth the trip. The biscuit was herbed and seasoned?!? Holy sh*t it was delicious. Enjoying all of that while sitting alongside the roaring French Broad River was just a dream. Covid-19 details: mask for ordering and pickup, only outdoor seating.

    What a relaxing place for coffee in the summer. I visited HFC on a summer afternoon weekday. The rustic interior and barn shaped building makes HFC a perfect extension of its natural surroundings. The large windows on the riverside and south side of the barn brings in lots of light and allows you to enjoy the outdoors while enjoying your coffee sitting on one of the stools. I was a little disappointed with the limited seating inside but it must work in the winter time. There is plenty of seating outside to enjoy the outdoors and your coffee. Many of the seats are in shaded areas but many of the picnic tables are not in shaded areas. Kids can run freely outdoors. While I enjoyed my coffee on a picnic table two young boys were having fun near the water. HFC serves Counter Culture Coffee, a top coffee roaster in the US. I ordered a cortado and an iced coffee with no additives. The cortado was okay but the iced coffee was one of the best I've ever tasted. Iced coffees are usually bitter and not pleasant. The only reason why I ordered an iced coffee was because it was hot out and I wanted to enjoy a cold drinks outside near the river. I was so glad I risked it. HFC is worth the detour for coffee in a relaxing location.

    Pumpkin Spice Latte to go!

    Amazing coffee and beautiful location to enjoy it! The inside was super cozy and although there was only one barista working, the wait was minimal and the drink was amazing! I got a PSL, and it was perfect for the chilly morning next to the river.

    Cold brew with their house made brown sugar caramel syrup & oat milk!

    Super cool location, and even better coffee! I got a cold brew with their brown sugar caramel syrup. So so so good!

    YUUUMMY black coffee right on the river. Very tiny space, but worth walking or driving down to it and enjoying a peaceful place in Asheville!

    Delicious coffee, beautiful location, and excellent service Their seasonal "Maple Salted Latte" was perfect. The coffee was complemented, not drowned out, by the flavor. Not too sweet, not too salty, and a hint of maple.

    I have been ordering whole beans from Pisgah Roasters for about 5 years- they are the GOLD STANDARD…read moreof coffees- what I compare anything else to-- and just fyi- everything else I've tried doesn't even come close!! So of course, since I'm in the area on vacation, I'm going there are much as possible! The place is quiet and unassuming- looks like a warehouse... Until you step inside and that smell of deliciousness hits you right in the face, soooo good!! In the past week, I have tried all of the specialty drinks on the menu- the Hot Tamale was especially surprisingly delightful- not too much spice, just a nice warmth. The Cold Mountain was also amazing, to me, it was the perfect iced coffee. The special this week was the Iced Coconut- it actually really tasted like coconut!My husband tried the drip and pour over- he's a black coffee drinker and loved them both- he loved that you can select different beans to try. I also purchased a 5 pound bag of my favorite bean- the Parkway Pick Me Up. Also love the Squirrely Blend. We also got the smaller 12oz bags to try a few different flavors when we get home. This place is the best. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

    Found Pisgah Coffee Roasters several years ago and have regularly ordered both bean for ourselves…read moreand ground for my parents (who definitely deserve the best!) Hands down, the best coffee (you know when a coffee is good if it tastes great black) and excellent customer service. Knowing PCR support local projects/environment/services through coffee sales just adds incentive to support a local business. May they have many more profitable years!
