Their cappuccino (and all espresso drinks) are served with a homemade shortbread woven with threads of caraway seeds and dark chocolate. It's a little bite of heaven that pairs well with its counterpart. I've been eyeing this mortadella sandwich (can you see why ) so we started with that and ended with their eggs Benedict which is served on their homemade English muffins which have the perfect bouncy texture. *| mortdella - focaccia, spicy pistachio pesto, roasted peppers, stracciatella. *| eggs benedict - homemade english muffins, crispy prosciutto, micro greens, hollandaise

These were easily some of the best doughnuts I've ever had. If I close my eyes, I can still…read moreremember how good they tasted! We stopped here before visiting the Biltmore, and while parking was a bit of a challenge, it was absolutely worth it. We ended up parking on the street up the hill near some residential homes, but don't let that deter you. One of the coolest parts was being able to watch the doughnuts being made right in front of us. There was a line when we arrived, and we waited about 15 minutes to order and another 10 minutes or so for our doughnuts. Even with the wait, I'd do it all over again. The doughnuts were incredibly fresh, warm, light, and fluffy. Every flavor we tried was delicious, but the vanilla glazed and the toasted almond sesame cinnamon were my favorite. If you're in Asheville, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

By the time we got there they were mostly sold out, but luckily the very last blackberry cream pastry was sitting there calling my name! My husband grabbed an iced chai too. OMG...I seriously can't stop thinking about that pastry. It was incredible. The best part was that it wasn't overly sweet, it was perfectly balanced and just so, so good. I'd make the trip back just for another one.

Would love the chance to try them but extremely disappointed that they're not ready to serve everything upon opening. So if you're looking for that gluten free option show up later in the day. It should say this on their info/ site/ menu. That would've saved us a while trip.

Really amazing cake donuts! We tried 4 of them and the…read moreEspresso & Old Fashioned were my favorite. They had a few seasonal options too. Reasonably priced but it would be cool if they ran a buy 3 get 1 deal (or something like that) after 1pm so they don't waste so many donuts. The staff was in a bit of a rush to close the shop despite the fact that I went 45 minutes before closing but were friendly enough. Definitely add it to your list if you are craving high quality donuts in Asheville!

I love hot chocolate and was excited to order one, but for $8, I was honestly shocked by the…read moreportion size. The cup was TINY -- not even what I would consider a normal child-size serving. It felt much more like a small tasting or shot-size cup. I don't mind paying a premium for something special, but there needs to be some reasonable relationship between the price and what you're actually receiving. At $8 each, I expected an actual cup of hot chocolate, not a few sips. It unfortunately came across as unnecessarily stingy, especially for something as simple and comforting as hot chocolate. A more generous serving -- or at the very least making the unusually small size clear before ordering -- would make a huge difference. The hot chocolate itself may is truly lovely, but at this portion and price, I wouldn't order it again. Bummer.

When my friend saw I was in Asheville she mentioned we had to get the shaved ice at Sweets and…read moreSeats. She said it was the best shaved ice she's ever had and way better than any she even had in Hawaii. I was intrigued and suggested to my husband we stop by after dinner one night. This cafe is soooo cute. I'm here on vacation and trying not to work, but if i needed to work for a few hours I would definitely go here. I'd work and eat one dessert after another. The mango shaved ice was even better than expected. It was ginormous and I was full from dinner, but did a pretty good job eating most of it because it was too delicious to stop. My husband got a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i couldn't help, but have a few bites of that as well. I was hoping to make it back a second (or third) time, but sadly don't think we are going to have time. Another reason to come back to Asheville and it may just be my first stop!

Loved their menu as well. Although their mini cakes and other treats appealed to me as well, I opted to try their Taro Shaved Ice (they had 2 other flavors as well...think Mango and Mocha?). Well, their Taro Shaved Ice was PERFECT!!! The shaved ice was nice and dry, and the toppings (Boba, Lychee jelly, and Strawberries...even whipped cream on top) were generous and delicious!
