I stopped by here to finish filling myself up, which was a wise decision. Service and ambiance was relatively quick. I got a GF banana blueberry muffin and a GF lemon bar. The muffin had a good banana-blueberry balance, and the flavors of the lemon bar were also balanced due to the addition of powdered sugar. Overall, a great relaxation spot. And that's not odd! read more

I love odds cafe. The drinks are really good, great variety, nice workers and a cozy space. 10/10, my go to spot in the area!

A lot to like about Odd's Cafe! We came in on a Friday morning and ordered at the counter right away. The inside has a good amount of seating, and we saw folks working; it's really chill, and the service is friendly. Drinks were prepared speedily and were so delish. I enjoyed my hot brambleberry chai latte (a special), which had light notes of berry. The iced Thai coffee was also tasty and not overly sweet. To eat, I got a strawberry coffee cake slice, which was crumbly, fruity, and perfect - I want the recipe! I unfortunately have to leave off a star for the bagel. We got a toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and although the cream cheese was nice, the bagel was absolutely rock hard. We tried our best to eat it, but it started to hurt, and we just couldn't get through it. Come here for a cool place to hang out/work with drinks and pastries, but avoid the bagels. read more

Great baked goods and great coffee but it's the soft music and cool breeze from the open converted garage door window that makes this place a great stop. While you shouldn't be in a hurry because the vibe is all about slow down and enjoy the moment, the service is quick and friendly. We enjoyed on this most recent visit a slice of quiche and gluten free frittata and a blueberry scone (with big fresh blueberries) as well as a piece of strawberry oat bar. That all went well with our cappuccinos served in mugs. Nothing odd about enjoying the moment at Odd's Cafe! read more

Really loved vibe and chai latte I got. So many people and fresh pastries. I had blackberry cobbler cake and it was so good.

Cute little cafe with yummy drinks and good ambiance! Service was super quick and I enjoyed working remotely at this little spot.

Solid spot for a Coffee and work session, but there are other more amazing coffee shops in the area. Asheville definitely has some five-star coffee establishments. I will say that this is a nice neighborhood place and I wouldn't skip it but I also wouldnt go out of my way for it. I totally agree that unless you're going at an off hour during the week day it's difficult to find parking. Love the ambience and the tall ceilings and wood tables. Lots of space to sit and work but it's all very open. So it's definitely not gonna be quiet. They d have a little bit of outdoor seating as well. Bathrooms are in the back and shared. The smoothie was huge, but felt like maybe they added water? I hope so because otherwise it would've been half my daily calories. I would've taken it smaller and stronger taste. But I did like the flavor in general. Iced coffee was OK. They had a lot of food to choose from and I appreciate that it was plentiful and diverse especially for a coffee shop. read more

This is a great coffee/pastry/quiche shop located in a cool walkable neighborhood. We were visiting Asheville and a friend who, lives in town, suggested we meet here for a coffee. When we first arrived around 10:00 am, it was great. No lines and plenty of seats. There is even outside seating in the back. By 11:00, it was crazy packed. It was hard to maneuver in and out, and the line was out the door. suggestion is go early. The name implies that this is a lunch place, but we only saw pastries, cookies and quiches. I tried the gingersnap it was really good. I was surprised that it wasn't a soft cookie, but it still was really good. read more

Felt like I slipped back into the 60s for a cup of coffee. Obviously a local favorite for a great cup of coffee and a pumpkin muffin.

I like that you can bring your dog and use their wifi. Open air in summer is nice. However the bathrooms are really disgusting!

Ordered a cappuccino here with oat milk, and it tasted fine. The smooth foam blended in with the drink, so that I could enjoy the texture of both as I drank it. The espresso at the base had a slight tartness instead of the nuttiness that I usually prefer with my espresso, but it was not too bad. The ambiance was chill, and it has a nice outdoor patio in the back if you want to sit outside, and service was quick and responsive. read more

Odd's is a staple in WAVL. I don't stray outside my typical order, which is the Chocolate Molasses smoothie. I dream about it! Their treats and goodies are also delicious. Love their outdoor patio and the friendly staff that work there. Parking is a pain but it's worth it! read more

Service is horrible and slow. Never returning. They did not even start heating my quiche until I can to ask then the drink my wife ordered was wrong. It was as if they were in space read more

Love the vibes! I visited here a few times during my trip to Asheville. The iced mocha latte and salted maple latte are delicious. They have plenty of seating inside. This was one of the few coffee shops in town that are open during the evening, which was really great for studying after work. read more

back in Asheville again and, while I love the space,other customers freindly vibes, dogs etc, the staff needs an attitude adjustment. Aloofness is not becoming. Nor is calling out orders in a mumbled, apathetic way that can barely be hard. Also, still charging absorbent amount for drip refills(check your competition). With another local shop opening a 2nd location right across the street, I think Odd's may be in trouble. I certainly hope not as I always wish folks success, even if it is not for me anymore. read more

Great drink and food options, great service, and a great place to sit and work on things or read. Their outdoor options are great as well. Came here with my partner and we were here for a few hours three days in a row. My highest recommendation is their hazelberry latte They also work with local small businesses and have jewelry, etc sometimes for sale up front. Plus they have a book stand where you leave a book /take a book. Will definitely be back next time we roll into town! read more

First impressions were great, reviews prior painted a warm picture of this place. In fact the main reason I came in was due to the great reviews . 1. Cashier girl was insanely rude. I don't mind people having a conversation ahead of me. By all means. But I ended up watching a YouTube video or two and when it was my turn she didn't even apologize for the wait. She didn't even say anything besides hi (after I waited to say it, and ended up saying it first). Was rude to take my order, kept just saying "ok" not offering to pair anything with anything else. Not asking about any type of milk or specific drinks. 2. Got a bagel and it was unbelievably rock hard. My gf tried to pry the bagel from my mouth as I bit into it, needless to say I honestly almost lost a tooth. She almost chipped her tooth on her first bite. 3. I got myself a pineapple smoothie. It tasted good but it wasn't very smoothie in it's texture. It was super runny. But at least it tasted good, so I just let it go. 4. Once all my food/drink was ready nobody called out my items. The cashier didn't even ask for my name. But she definitely called out other people's names prior. Not cool to have me standing around like a fool. 5. The saving grace was the girl who was behind the counter making other drinks. She called out the drinks out super loud. She was even kind enough to apologize for me having to wait so long. I'm sure the food is usually better. The drinks were good despite the shitty cashier. I'd go anywhere else unless you're inclined to check this off your list of places. read more

Awesome coffee and good place to have meetings and to get work done I got a latte and they served it in a real cup no paper cups. So nice read more

How can I move to Asheville and go here every day? My first time was a joy! Mattie was an excellent barista and I picked a coffee --golden gingerbread--that was her favorite. It's a great people watching place, too. Everyone seems so hip and chill. Bring your computer and stay awhile. Pray to the cafe gods that you get a seat. Place is really popular and rightfully so. read more

Odd's Cafe - My yummy gingerbread coffees! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I usually come here almost once a week and have great experiences but today was a very different experience. I got the coconut cloud w/ cold brew which the menu described as an iced matcha with coconut syrup and vanilla cold foam so I asked if I could get it with cold brew instead of matcha. The cashier said yes (w/ no warning there might be something very weird in it coming as a surprise) and I proceeded to pay $8 for the coffee. There was a little bit of a wait which is 100% expected and not a problem for me at all as there is plenty of seating. Once the coffee was received I walked out the door with it and tasted something very odd in it which turned out to be soda water. I turned back and went to ask the barista if they had accidentally put soda water in my cold brew and he said that's how the coconut cloud was made and I acted surprised. He said sorry and just went back to what he was doing with no worry or offer to remake it at all. I proceeded to say that I would be buying another coffee (since it was obvious they weren't going to make me one without soda water in it) and no one ever came to the register to take my order. So I ended up leaving and ended up wasting $8 on a cold brew that had soda water in it (with no warning at all) and which ended up in the trash. I'm super disappointed in the customer service and hope that not all customers are treated this way as most of us are locals and regulars to their shop. With an $8 local coffee you would expect better customer service. read more

Pretty nice local coffee shop. The food has always been good (I'm partial to the salted caramel brownie, ask for it heated) and honestly I have never had a bad experience there. Just because of the fact it is on Haywood it can be a little difficult to find parking. read more

Husband and I stopped in for some coffee and a treat on a late Sunday afternoon. The establishment wasn't overly crowded and the couch we sat at was very comfortable; atmosphere was quiet, relaxing and overall welcoming. The girl who helped us was polite, but we had to repeat ourselves a couple times and were confused during ordering; it jumped all over the place. I had a tiny caramel latte with a raspberry brownie and husband had a triple espresso with a caramel cookie. The coffee was perfect; zero complaints. I had a bite of my husband's cookie and it was chewy, sweet and overall delicious. The brownie, on the other hand, I didn't find as appealing. I was hoping for a sweet chewy, delicate brownie; but instead got a dry, crumbly, bitter slice of what tasted more like a dry piece of cake than a brownie. Half the brownie wound up in the garbage, but now I know not to order the brownie in the future. I would definitely recommend this establishment; especially for a lazy afternoon with time to kill. read more

Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for a shady character spitting on the sidewalk in front of me and sequentially my husband ( as we were entering single file ) on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The staff was extremely accommodating & helpful when we reported this unfortunate issue which almost gave us misgivings about entering. Our Lattes were very very nice and the place was full of students and happy customers. It is next door to the retrocade.We will definitely be back & I hope to give it 5 stars lots of cakes, bakery items, and teas to try.... read more

Okay first and foremost, I read brilliant reviews on Yelp for this cafe and I believe them to be true for the people who have written them. Next, I am not as psyched about the interiors of this cafe as much as I thought I would be. There's one corner tho, with some books to read which I loved (but was not even clean-dusting needs to be done) The one thing that was bang-on was the mango smoothie! Absolutely loved it It was delicious! The quiche wasn't bad either, and I got an almond cake too, which was okay-ish. The only downside is that every thing was a bit too cinnamony! but that's fine for me, I love cinnamon, my hubby, not so much ! he's not coming back but I think I will for more smoothies! read more

Sitting in a coffee shop is a pure luxury! My friend and I needed a little late afternoon caffeine boost to help with the rest of our trip for the day. We seriously loved Odd's Cafe. The barista was very friendly and answered our questions. They have a huge menu! I got the Cinna-hon latte & my friend got the Dreamer Matcha. I would give my drink 3/5 stars & my friend gave hers 5/5. I would definitely love to comeback to try more of their drinks & also enjoy their huge coffee shop. Their pastries looked really good & I am pretty disappointed I didn't get one! read more

Met a friend while passing through town, and I must say the lack of cleanliness was very off putting. I understand Asheville isn't the cleanest city in the region, but still, even when they were busy, little to no effort was made to maintain clean counters, empty tables, etc. I ordered coffee and an everything bagel and honestly the coffee I got was about on par with what I would get out of the coffee maker at work. My bagel was more or less burnt, although the cream cheese saved it. The staff seemed more focused on talking and joking with one another than they were with doing their jobs, and it's safe to say not only will I never come back, but will actively tell people I know to avoid this place. 0/10 do not recommend. read more

Everyone working here was super sweet. Great coffee. Even better pastries/scones. Tons of room inside, great hours too! Our air b&b was down the street, and I'm so angry we didn't walk in until our last day. This would have been our main breakfast/coffee spot had we known! read more

My feelings towards Odd's cafe are kinda confusing. As for the space, the art, and the vibe, Odd's is my favorite coffee shop in town without question. I love the tall ceilings, the big open windows with great air flow, the tables, the giant dinosaur painting and the treats. Unfortunately as far as coffee drinks go, they are probably my least favorite in town. Their chai is greatly lacking in flavor, and anytime I've ordered a latte or any other drink I am disappointed. I suggest sticking to a good old coffee or tea. Regardless it is a great space to go alone and get work done peacefully or to read but is also a good choice for coffee and a chat with a buddy. read more

Great coffee and great ambiance in a cool spot. Food options looked really good as well.

Excellent coffee and bakery items! Great vibe and seating. 2 shots in 8oz latte. Local art and patio.

Edit to update from 3 to 4, I went back in the afternoon same day and the evening barista went above and beyond for not only me but a customer in front of me :) read more

- I appreciate that all of their baked goods are in plastic wrap. - I noticed the server had messed up the customer's order in front of me. The unordered drink was left abandoned on the counter. - When I placed my order for a single iced coffee, the same server then asked me for a tip. I thought it was rude to ask people for tips. When I said no, she got an attitude with me. - My coffee was comparable to McDonald's (that's not an insult, I really like their lattes), but it was double the price. I enjoyed my coffee, but it wasn't rude server worth it, considering all the other coffee shops on Haywood I could try. read more

I got a "compliment" from another reviewer saying I shouldn't give such a low rating because of inadequate parking. Um, yeah... I can. Items that were not very memorable coupled with a stressful parking experience = a 3 star rating. Pretty sure Odd's will do well with the walking or city transport crowd (or maybe someone who has 30 minutes to circle and find a spot without a screaming child in the back), but for the mom looking to take their kids out, my previous review is for you. There are places I most assuredly circle and find a parking spot for. Liberty Coffee House & Cafe French Broad Chocolates Ittos Ramen Bar to name a few. So to the mom who wants to get out of the house with their kid, by all means, if you'd like a crowded cafe, meh food/drinks and a stressful parking experience Odd's is for you! read more

Great coffee! They always have special seasonal options, which is wonderful! If they have the flavor they will make anything that you ask for. Have never been disappointed with their creative mixtures. The covid standards were high, with a walkup, spaced out markings to stand on, staff wearing their mask correctly. We'd be back so much more if we lived near by. read more
