    Store front

    The staff was super knowledgeable and e free really nice. Seems like a great spot to knock out some work. This is a great location since there isn't another coffee shop close on that side of town. That have all the traditional espresso drinks I love to drink to get my caffeine buzz going. I appreciate their quick and easy feel of getting your order in, no fuss needed just let them know what you want. Also appreciate the easy pay system for cards. They have some sweet wall are that is right in theme. Flows and fun spot. No complaints, just good coffee.

    Donation area for their thrift event

    Retro was hosting a community clothing thrift day so figured two birds one stone- drop off the bag of clothes I had for donation sitting in my car for longer than I care to admit, and try the new coffee shop I've been meaning to get to. I love this event they put on and hope they do it frequently (maybe once a quarter!? We can hope). The space itself is big and welcoming. Plenty of seating and a super friendly staff. Lots of parking too, which is a nice plus. It's pretty quiet so a good place to work or study, but may not be where I'd choose to sit for a video call or with a group because of it. They have some pastries to choose from, plus a number of flavors for your drink (including specialty options like the one I got- I think it was called king cake? Cinnamon, vanilla and brown sugar). They also offer a few milk alternatives which is an appreciated touch. Ultimately the coffee was a little strong for me (and I'm a coffee person) but I'm certainly going to try something new, maybe just ask for a bit more milk. A bit expensive, but what isn't anymore- $5.50 or so before tip for a small hot specialty latte, but a fun treat for every so often (especially when they host community events!)

    This is one of south Asheville's hidden gems! Easy to miss, but such a great shop! The cold brew is great, staff is super nice and fun to talk to, and the shop has a great vibe for hanging out or getting work done. Definitely check out Retro if you haven't already!

    Perfect cortado every time. Friendly, community-oriented hip but not hipster atmosphere.

    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.

    My husband and I made a stop at Hole donuts on a Thursday morning for a little sweet treat. Hole is…read morea quaint little shop located within a neighborhood. They do have a small side lot for parking. Order ahead online or at the register when you arrive. We loved the open kitchen concept. Get a front row seat to watch your donuts being made right in front of you. My husband and I got the glaze and cinnamon sugar donuts. Both flavors were excellent! We enjoyed our warm perfect donuts while sitting inside watching other orders being made. They do offer coffee and other beverages. We just helped ourselves to the water station. Staff were beyond friendly and they seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. Thank you Hole for a great morning show and sweet treat. We will be back.
