Dark chocolate mocha
Mia L.

We stopped by today for the first time and we got a dark chocolate mocha. We really enjoyed it. It was very relaxing inside with very friendly baristas. The coffee had a pleasant earthy flavor with a nice texture. We will plan to go again.

Easily one of my favorite 3 coffee shops in the entire state of NC. Was headed out to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a hike and found this place. Cant wait to get back again! Such an awesome space, perfect coffee shop vibes, and a super cool staff that loved their jobs. Couldn't be any cooler if they tried. The coffee was amazing and the food was, too! Just wish this was closer to home for me.

They put a candle in the pastry because it was my birthday. Nice touch!

Great boutique, coffee shop in the downtown area of Swannanoa right off of Highway 70. The space is very clean and open. Ample spots for dates and groups to hang out. The coffee is roasted on site and is definitely a higher end brew. The prices are right in line. The staff are so friendly. A great place to hang out and have a great cup of coffee in the Swannanoa area.

I have never found myself chuckling in the bathroom of a coffee shop... Until I entered the Short Sleeve's bathroom! This poem got me. I genuinely enjoyed the entire experience here (clearly). Yummy coffee and muffins! Kind workers! I'm glad we stopped here for some fuel before hiking:-)

Ham and cheese croissant with and oat milk dark chocolate mocha. The perfect pre-hike breakfast!

Food and coffee were both delicious. The space was cozy and clean. I hung out reading a book for a while before setting out on a hike. I never felt rushed or in the way. The staff were friendly and helpful. I bought a couple of bags of coffee on the way out. I'll probably be back tomorrow!

Great patio

We stumbled upon this place returning from black mountain and it was a pleasant surprise. The staff was very helpful in helping us choose a bag of coffee to take home and the Nicaraguan is 100% worth picking up if you wanted to try a bag for home. The drinks were perfect l. Staff incredibly friendly. Great ambiance. Pastries are from recess (one of our other favorites) all around this cafe is an incredible addition for Swannanoa and we love seeing some sense of peace and comfort coming back to the area post-Helene. We will be back soon!

This is an absolutely fantastic coffee shop. We buy our coffee from here because they roast in small batches and it is delicious. Also, their specialty drinks are super yummy. They have all the classics plus some really great homemade syrups. They have fresh pastry delivery from several different local bakeries, including gluten-free options. The decor is beautifully done, and there are so many wonderful places to sit and chat. It is also run by quite possibly the sweetest family you'll ever meet. We are super thankful to have them in Swannanoa!

Short Sleeves is potentially my new favorite coffee shop in the Asheville area. The coffee is really really good (and roasted in-house), the vibe of the shop is the perfect blend of minimalist and cozy, and the owners/staff are all super kind and helpful! I will be back as often as I can justify it.

I have been ordering whole beans from Pisgah Roasters for about 5 years- they are the GOLD STANDARD…read moreof coffees- what I compare anything else to-- and just fyi- everything else I've tried doesn't even come close!! So of course, since I'm in the area on vacation, I'm going there are much as possible! The place is quiet and unassuming- looks like a warehouse... Until you step inside and that smell of deliciousness hits you right in the face, soooo good!! In the past week, I have tried all of the specialty drinks on the menu- the Hot Tamale was especially surprisingly delightful- not too much spice, just a nice warmth. The Cold Mountain was also amazing, to me, it was the perfect iced coffee. The special this week was the Iced Coconut- it actually really tasted like coconut!My husband tried the drip and pour over- he's a black coffee drinker and loved them both- he loved that you can select different beans to try. I also purchased a 5 pound bag of my favorite bean- the Parkway Pick Me Up. Also love the Squirrely Blend. We also got the smaller 12oz bags to try a few different flavors when we get home. This place is the best. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Found Pisgah Coffee Roasters several years ago and have regularly ordered both bean for ourselves…read moreand ground for my parents (who definitely deserve the best!) Hands down, the best coffee (you know when a coffee is good if it tastes great black) and excellent customer service. Knowing PCR support local projects/environment/services through coffee sales just adds incentive to support a local business. May they have many more profitable years!
