    Gravy Biscuit
    Trey K.

    Small town Main Street diner with good food and great friendly service. We were there for breakfast. The menu was typical with no surprises. Food was good with the country ham, egg, cheese biscuit being the prize. The ham was thinly sliced which was unusual but very good. I would put that biscuit in the top 5 I have ever had. They also served red-eye gravy and it was amazing. Everything else was average. Not bad at all. The gravy on the biscuit was served cold (probably plated too early waiting on the ham), the biscuit with the gravy was a little burned, and the hash-browns a little mushy. Our waitress was a treat. She was friendly and knowledgeable and entertaining. It was very cool to see her interacting with the locals in one way and then with the obvious out of towners (like us) in another. The restaurant itself was clean but run down like you would expect in a small town diner. I did not see anything dirty at all. The prices were also unbeatable. The whole experience was worth the trip and I highly recommend it. Cannot give 5 stars because some of the food was mediocre but I still would recommend swinging by if you are in the area.

    Fun holiday decorations!

    The things that are found while traveling in unknown areas is one of the joys of getting off the beaten path. Breakfast was enjoyable and tasty. The breakfast special was the perfect size (for me) with grits, eggs, meat and toast! Also, it was the most decent size of coffee that I have seen in a restaurant! Wait staff was as friendly with the tourists as the gentlemen who are their everyday. If you are in the area, check it out.

    You know those cute hole in the wall, small town lunch spots? You found it. Very inexpensive options, so you get what you pay for. I got the turkey Swiss bake- it was the round deli turkey you get from the plastic packages in the grocery store. I will not be getting that again. My son got the burger and it did look good. My uncle got the Philly cheesesteak and that also looked appetizing My other son got the grilled cheese and it was 2 American slices on Texas toast. It's an adorable little spot but don't go expecting high quality food. It's a small town lunch spot with the sweetest servers. We will go back for breakfast one morning.

    Nice and spacious

    I ordered a Rueben. It was awful. It was overcooked so much that it bordered on being burnt. The meat was dry from being over cooked.

    This was my first time ever visiting Asheville, and somehow one of the places I'll remember most…read morefrom the trip is a sandwich shop/bodega. I stopped in my first day and got the LT sandwich, which was amazing, but I ended up spending almost as much time looking around the store as I did eating. They have everything from local mustards and honey to tinned fish, seasonings, and a whole section from a local creamery with ice cream, yogurt, smoothies, etc. Everything seems thoughtfully picked out and locally sourced when possible, without having the ridiculous prices you sometimes expect from a place like this. The staff was also amazing--genuinely friendly, helpful, and happy to talk about the food and everything they carry. I liked the place enough that, despite having an entire city of restaurants I'd never tried before, I came back the very next day. This time I got the grinder, which ended up being my favorite, along with the roast beef, which was also delicious. Between the sandwiches, the people, and the frankly ridiculous amount of good shit packed into the store, everything about this place was great. There are plenty of places I didn't get a chance to try while I was in Asheville, but I have absolutely no regrets using two lunches on this one. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Shoutout to one of the owners- Patty- goes out of his way to take care of customers

The sandwich was delicious!! Everything was so fresh! We loved it so much that we went back every morning before our hikes to get sandwiches for the remainder of our stay!! Bonus that the staff is super friendly!!

The cappuccino was perfectly made and paired wonderfully with breakfast. One of the highlights was the beautiful outdoor balcony seating, which was perfect for bringing our dog. The staff went above and beyond by bringing out a plate with ham, cheese, bacon, and fresh water just for our pup. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality really stood out. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Between the amazing food, great coffee, stunning balcony views, and outstanding service, Coffee Cup Cafe is an easy recommendation. We'll definitely be back!

    I was really impressed with Coffee Cup Cafe! The food was good, but what really stood out to me was…read morethe service and all the little details that made the experience special. I ordered the smothered ham and egg bagel sandwich and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was tasty and was made with freshly ground beans from a real espresso machine, which I always appreciate. The sandwich was warm, tasty, and our food came out really quickly. My husband and I shared an apple cinnamon scone that they warmed up for us. It was soft, delicious, and not overly sweet. We sat outside on the patio with our pup. There was plenty of seating, and the view of the mountains in the background was beautiful. The highway is right there, so you do hear the traffic, but it was still a relaxing place to enjoy breakfast. The whole café was also incredibly clean. As a dog owner, I'm usually having to keep my pup from finding crumbs on the ground, but even the outdoor patio was spotless. I didn't notice any food, trash, or sticky tables anywhere. It was obvious the staff takes pride in keeping the place clean. Even the bathrooms were surprisingly spacious and just as clean as the rest of the café. The best part was how kind everyone was. When they saw we had our dog with us, they asked if she could have a treat. I expected a Milk Bone, but they came out with the cutest little plate that had a bowl of water, a few pieces of chicken, a little bacon, a little ham, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese. It was the perfect amount for a pup with a sensitive stomach, and she was so happy. Between the friendly staff, great coffee, thoughtful touches, spotless café, and relaxing atmosphere, this was an easy 5 stars. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.
