    I have not been to the home location for Four sisters, but I have tried some of the croissants and…read moretheir variations a few times around the Asheville area. While some of their pastries look decent, there is something about their Viennoiserie (laminated dough) products that they just seem to not understand. Every one of their croissants I've tried were underproved, which causes an undesirable internal texture that is dense and not open and light like croissants are supposed to be. They are also very "bread like", which shows that they are losing control of the temperature of the dough and butter during the lamination process. This causes the butter to melt into the dough, rather than keeping the intended layers. This is what causes the crumb of the croissant to be more bread like, rather than the light honeycomb structure you find in a well-crafted croissant. Their other products, assorted buns, cinnamon rolls, etc., look decent, but I haven't tried much of those as they aren't really what I enjoy. I hope at some point they can dial in their understanding of the laminated dough process as it would only elevate and improve what they offer. However, they seem to be busy, so they may be fine with delivering a lower quality product in that department. I also understand that my perspective may be different than the average customer as I'm a professional pastry chef and consultant. I'm not sharing this review to be negative, but to give an honest opinion that may spark this establishment to look deeper into their process and find ways to offer even more to their customers.

    Four Sisters Bakery - This is what the internal stucture of Four sisters croissants tend to look like. Not very light or enjoyable. Dense and chewy.

    We're in Black Mountain about once a year for a conference, and I've always enjoyed the coffee…read morescene. This year, a friend recommended this shop to try out. As a coffee enthusiast, I admit to sometimes being what my wife would call a "coffee snob" from time to time. I'm happy to report that Recess passes every test I have for coffee. The vibe was perfect, with a classic wooden-style to the seating, and even a really great retro/minimalist playground outside for our kids. The Rwandan pour over I had a couple days ago was full-bodied and delicious, with deep red fruit notes. It was made with care using a Kalita wave flat-bottom dripper, and it was clear that the brewer knew what he was doing. It was so good that I picked up a bag of beans they had for sale (from Sweet Bloom roasters), which has been giving me great pour-overs at the house. We also had a butter croissant, which was absolutely delightful. I returned today to try their milk-drink offerings. I had a masala caramel cappuccino to-go, and let me just tell you--these people know what's up. It was a seasonal offering, and it showed a deep understanding of the marriage of sweetness with flavorful coffee offerings. I love it when I stumble up on a truly wonderful shop for coffee enthusiasts, and Recess has my full stamp of approval. I will be back every chance I get.

    I happened to be in town so of course I looked up coffee shops in the area. Recess has a…read morebeautifully curated website and Instagram account. I ordered the masala caramel latte. It was a bit too sweet so I also ordered an iced coffee and mixed the two. The staff was nice. I also ordered the ham and cheese croissant and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend trying it.

The BEST bakery I have been to in a very long time. We started out sharing a ham and cheese croissant. The ham and cheese was baked into the croissant. Light, flaky, and very delicious. I am surprised my husband let me have more than one bite. We ordered the quiche of the day and the one available every day. The ham and cheese was the quiche of the day. It was light, creamy, and very rich. The other quiche had spinach, feta, and tomatoes. It was equally delicious. Go and check them out. You will not be sorry. Go now.

My husband gets the egg and smoked bacon on an everything bagel, and I go for the feta and tomato on the same. The bagel itself is perfect - more like freshly baked bread than the typical dense, chewy bagel. The pastries here look and taste amazing. I didn't love the cappuccino, but the latte and matcha lattes were good. The staff is friendly and they're quick to bring out your food. I really appreciate that the breakfast sandwiches are cooked to order - you can really taste the difference. I've only tried Filo for breakfast so far, but I'm definitely looking forward to stoppng by to check out their dinner menu.

    Dripolator Coffeehouse was exactly the kind of Sunday morning stop we needed as we rolled east out…read moreof Asheville. Yelp pointed us here and as usual, the algorithm absolutely nailed it. We arrived at around 7:15 am and were greeted by two regulars hanging out front with their dogs, which meant that Mrs. K. got her morning dog fix before we even made it inside. That set a great tone for a good day. The welcome inside was warm in the small town way that feels genuine instead of forced, just easy smiles and a quick hello as I ordered. It was rather quiet when we arrived but the folks seemed to start pouring in as we sipped our coffees. My cortado was excellent even if it was in a paper cup. Mrs. K. was happy with her latte which is the proper test. We lingered a bit, enjoying the quiet and watching Black Mountain wake up around us before getting back on the road. A great little stop just off I-40 and a perfect start for the day. Five stars! [Review 540 of 2026 - 4635 in North Carolina - 25722 overall]

    I have to confess that the name Dripolator didn't sound like a place with a hip coffee house vibe…read more I was very wrong. What a terrific find in Black Mountain. First off, atmosphere. Cool, welcoming with a splash of funky. Loved it. Staff. Incredibly friendly and helpful. My wife likes a real matcha green tea latte and what she got was perfect. Made to the sweetness level she likes (not too much) and the barista delivered it while making sure it was to my wife's liking. Very attentive. Coffee. I am a latte guy, no sweetener just good ol fashioned milk. What I got was robust yet incredibly smooth. A great cup of coffee. We did not try their baked goods. That will be next time, because when we find ourselves in the area again, Dripolator will be a must.
