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!

I have been wanting to try a banana pudding latte since I first heard about them recently. I…read morethought the concept sounded a little weird, but when I saw it on the special menu here, I had to go for it. I was NOT disappointed! The banana flavor was spot on, like a true banana. Not like the typical artificial banana flavoring you'd find in a candy. It was sweetened just enough and topped with little vanilla wafer pieces. We were only inside for a short period of time, but this was a really cute place with comfy seating and a calm, quiet vibe. Staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing that could have made my drink better would have been more ice, but then I would have less of my delicious beverage, so I can't really complain.

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]

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.

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.

Rowan Coffee is a hidden gem in Asheville, and a café that quietly becomes an unexpected part of…read moreyour story. Tucked away near the end of Broadway, Rowan possesses a warm and understated charm. The soft lighting and calm atmosphere create a cozy ambiance that exudes thoughtfully curated design, while the gentle hum of conversation and espresso machines add a touch of life to the space. It's the kind of coffee shop where rainy afternoons feel like a cinematic scene from your favorite film. Recently, I met a date here, as Rowan seemed like the perfect setting for such a memorable beginning. After we greeted one another with an intimate kiss just outside the doors of Rowan Coffee, I observed a Duchenne smile flash across her face before we embarked on what became an emotionally recursive, psychologically layered Asheville odyssey, as we explored Malaprop's Bookstore, the Grove Arcade, Wall Street, Pack Square Park, I.M. Pei's connection to structures outside both the Louvre and the Asheville Art Museum, French Broad Chocolate, Cúrate, and the South Slope. The coffee at Rowan is truly exceptional. Each cup is thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and served with care by passionate baristas. It can be rather challenging to find premium cold brew these days, but the cold brew on offer here is some of the best I've found in Asheville. Whether you're enjoying a cappuccino, catching up with a friend, or studying/working near the back, Rowan provides the perfect atmosphere for unwinding and savoring the moment. My date ordered a mocha that morning, and based on the enthusiasm with which it disappeared, I'd be remiss not to mention it. The mochas are so good here that girls do circle back. And if you don't, you're missing out. What truly sets Rowan apart is its comfort. It's an intimate space without being overcrowded; it's stylish without being pretentious. It encourages conversation, reflection, and even accidental three-hour stays.

There appeared to just be one person helping people inside as well as the drive thru. The wait gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted. There was a handwritten chalkboard with all of the menu items for the day. Unfortunately the regular breakfast cookies, which are our go-to, were sold out. My son did snag the last gluten free breakfast cookie. My daughter opted for a blueberry muffin while I had the pineapple banana bread. Both were good but not quite as good as our usual breakfast cookies. The gluten free breakfast cookie was put in a bag along with the non-gluten free items, which was a little concerning. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to support a small business and look forward to returning again!

When we got there the parking lot was absolutely packed, but by the time we left we were the last car remaining since they were about to close. The line was short and the service was fast, although at nearly 2pm this was probably a late lunch for most. The woman behind the cashier was super friendly and helped us choose sandwiches and also gave us some tips on what to check out in the arts district after. I went with the classic sandwich and thought it was pretty tasty. However, my husband and I also split a carrot cake and that was the real winner of the lunch. And I washed it all down with an iced latte, which I regretted later that evening when I couldn't fall asleep due to a late coffee. I have to cut myselff off from caffeine at noon these days. It was a beautiful June day so we enjoyed our lunch outside and then checked out some galleries in the area. It was quick, easy and tasty and I'd be up for another lunch here if in the area.
