Cortado and dirty chai
Anh N.

Interiors and ambiance is 10/10 - plenty of seating indoor and outdoor. Bathrooms are clean and decorative. Staff are friendly. I got a Cortado for $4 - it was perfect with a cute foam art which I rarely get with a Cortado. We also got a dirty chai for $6.25 - I did not taste it myself but I was told it was good. They also sell whole beans and some artisanal chocolates and other merch. If come back if I lived here

Our favorite coffee shop in Asheville!! This was our second time visiting Asheville and first time trying Rowan! Their coffee was superb - their winter latte had all the beautiful spices (cardamom, orange etc) and was so cozy! Their food looked amazing though we didn't get to try. We will need to do so next time. Make sure you add Rowan coffee to your Asheville itinerary!! There's two locations and both are great but Haywood is incredible

Came in for a cup of coffee. Love this place. I wish I was here longer to enjoy the vibe. Clean, great music and friendly staff.

Great vibe and love the music. Came in for a cup of coffee. I was pleasantly surprised they served liquor.

I don't have a picture but the Morning Glory muffin was 10/10 !!!! We would go back just for the muffin. Staff was friendly and great morning ambiance

Great to see Rowan has opened a second location, this one on Haywood Rd in the heart of West Asheville (the original location is on Broadway in downtown Asheville). They completely remodeled what was once an auto repair garage and more recently a kayak rental place into a large coffee shop with both indoor and outdoor patio seating. Very well done: it looks historical and fits into the neighborhood. Limited parking for pick-up orders. Rowan roasts its own coffees. They do various coffees, as well as a limited menu of lite fare/sandwiches/salads. The coffee is strong and good. They just recently opened but on a nice Saturday afternoon this place was already packed inside and out.

Great coffee and delicious baked goods! This is a great spot to love what you're eating and drinking while soaking in good vibes outside on the patio or inside in the cool, high-ceiling space. It's pretty busy in the mornings, but a table is manageable.

Monkey bread and lattes are so yum! Great place to come and work, meet with friends, or grab a latte before visiting Asheville. Quick and friendly service and overall great experience while visiting NC!

Beautiful space and wonderful coffee. Nice place to work for a few hours. Well worth the $4 to park and the $6 coffee.

COFFEE, KOLACHES, AND MORE! (Even alcohol!)…read more I try to avoid Haywood Road however when I heard they have kolaches here I had to come try them. This joint has now become one of my study session go-to spots! My current favorite coffee in town is the fall menu Sweet Potato Marshmallow Latte! Kolache selections vary depending on the time of day, as they're made fresh in small batches. My favorites are the jalapeño egg and the sausage gravy flavors. Inside seating is adequate, and there are some tables with access to outlets. Staff has always been friendly. Music selection is usually really good! The downside is the parking, there is a decent amount of street parking, especially compared to Haywood Road more west of here. I've never had a problem getting a spot during morning/early afternoon on any day of the week. If you're on the opposite side and trying to walk across the street, cars don't stop for you at the crosswalk in my experience

Elective coffee shop. You will have to park in the street and/ or lot across the street. Staff are…read morefriendly line was a bit of a wait. Not a great place when in a hurry. They have some yummy treats for purchase. They have some unique flavors that are pretty good. Loved my seasonal sweet potato latte never had marshmallow in a latte before but worth the hype. They have several seating areas and are pet friendly. Artistic expressions in decor. Hope you enjoy.

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.

Yeah this place can take all my money. Really cute inside, pretty spacious as well!…read more Got a cappuccino and it is well done, rounded bold flavors and the perfect ratio. Also got a pastry (peach almond danish), which was good, I just wish there was an option to heat it up so the texture could shine. Can't wait to come back!

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.

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.
