A timely spot to stop while walking the loop around the RDA. Buzzing with customers both locals and visitors enjoying yummy beverages, bagels, sweets, and vegan food items too. First time I have tried an iced espresso beverages. I opted for vanilla cinnamon syrup and it was refreshing. Most people were enjoying hot drinks since it was pretty darn chilly outside! Clean bathroom, communal tables and some other spots to rest inside and out. read more

My friends and I came here for coffee and breakfast Monday morning. There's lots of parking options nearby which is nice. They're also dog friendly inside and outside. I tried their iced honey lavender latte which was delicious and then their avocado sandwich on an everything bagel and added an egg. The breakfast sandwich wasn't bad. We sat outside which was nice. read more

Food and drinks were delicious, just what I needed to fuel up for a day of exploring Asheville! We got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and a Breakfast burrito for Brunch and an iced vanilla latte and hot chai latte for drinks. They have outdoor and indoor seating, but the indoor seating is limited for how popular this place is. That being said, staff and patrons were all kind and friendly. We shared a table with some strangers and they were pleasant. read more

Ummmm this is the BEST bagel sandwich I've ever had in my life. And maybe my slight hangover made it taste even better but the flavors, the textures, the spice. Holy moly. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. There was a pretty long line when we got there but these guys move FAST. They know how to run a business. The coffee was super tasty and they had some good options, but those sandwiches are what they're reallyyyyy good at. The best breakfast hands down. read more

We turned our GPS towards Asheville arts district with coffee on our mind. We yelped this place and it did not disappoint. Two dirty chai lattes later and an energy ball and we are happy. Very delicious! Nice vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

One of our favorite coffee shops in Asheville proper. The grilled cheddar biscuits are still incredibly amazing. Small parking lot but also street parking as well not too far from business. read more

Love a local coffeeshop and this is one pf the best! We walked from our rental to grab a coffee. Instantly greeted and enjoyed a chat with the staff. They are super nice! Loved the vibe and the coffee was yummy! Their homemade syrups are outstandingly good. read more

walked in to a clean and standard coffee shop, but what really stood out was the friendly customer service! I immediately felt welcome and the person at the register was more than happy to answer my questions. I had the lox bagel and a cappuccino -- both were excellent. My only critique is the bagel was on the chewier side without a crispy exterior, and there could have been a little bit more cream cheese, but overall the ingredients were high quality and the flavor was there! Would absolutely come back for a casual date or remote work day. Thanks, Ultra! read more

I really like the food here. It's a cute place with good muffins and good service. It's in a great place to be able to go there and then also do other things after with it being in RAD. Overall would definitely recommend to locals and tourists! read more

Service and ambiance was relatively speedy. I got a Taylor (sausage, egg, chipotle mayo and vegan cream cheese instead of cheddar on a GF bagel) and a GF/DF brookie. This was the first time I ever had a brookie, and it was delicious. A slight crunch on the top, but fudgy on the bottom. The bagel sandwich came out very warm and the flavors were all on point. Overall, the fact that "ultra" is in this place's name suits it perfectly. read more

While exploring the River and Arts district of Asheville, I definitely recommend making a stop at Ultra Coffeebar for a quick break and caffeination. The menu has the full line of caffeinated beverages that you can need. I decided to try the shakerato, adding the honey lavender syrup for the sweet floral touch, and it was the perfect after adding some milk. I love how there are some local goods and art available for sale inside the shop, as well that was easy to browse while waiting for my coffee. It is definitely the ULTRA coffee shop for the River Arts District! read more

This cute coffee and sandwich shop is conveniently located near the River Arts District. The staff is very friendly and food is delicious, even have pastries, too! We enjoyed their paninis, a banana nut muffin and chai lattes. Their coffee selections and breakfast menu are great as well. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Bagels were fire and staff was so kind. Good amount of seating. By far my favorite part was the board that changed messages that were specific to people in the restaurant. A sweet detail of customer relations that kept us laughing. Feels like a very communal Asheville spot. Also they have a parking lot which is a huge W haha. We'll be back the next time we're in town! read more

Cutest spot with some of the most fun workers. Live the location (minus the parking). Great assortment of pastries and delicious hearty breakfast Sammy's. Sweet little spot with some local art and jewelry for sale. Seating inside and out. Love the nitro coffee. Expensive but delicious. The lemon bar was surprisingly not sticky and rather fluffy but I loved it. read more

UltraCofee is a great place to refuel while wandering around the River Arts District in Asheville. They've got lots for vegetarians and there are gluten-free options as well at this small, order-at-the-counter spot. I had the Fig and Brie and Ciabatto which was a great combination of flavors. It came with a bag of chips (no other options or choices for sides, at least none offered.) My wife was excited for a gluten-free bagel but they were out by the time we got there, so she ended up with the Ultraman salad wrap which she thought was good. Somehow we missed them calling our name while we were waiting in the eating area so our food sat there for a while before we realized it was taking a while and came looking for it. They have a vegan lunch menu with three options, a vegan breakfast menu with 5 options and plenty of choices if you also eat dairy. The food did the job for us during a short break between wandering in and out of the nearby art galleries...it's a local, not-so-crowded spot so felt comfortable enough, though we did feel a little rushed through the ordering process. read more

Delicious coffee and tea drinks, and lots of good food items to choose from. Prices are reasonable, service was friendly, which I appreciated so much after three days in Asheville where some of the hipster service people will try to make you feel small. Try the breakfast wrap. Perfect. read more

Had a great visit at Ultra for a quick breakfast on a visit to Asheville. Cappuccino and pastries were all very great. We enjoyed the atmosphere as well. We will definitely visit again our next time in town. read more

Coffee - amazing! Service - amazing! Space and parking area - amazing! I'm very picky about coffee and this place exceeded all my expectations. I had a cortado with oat milk and husband had a cappuccino. Both were hot with the perfect level of caffeine. They have a small working area with free wifi and charging ports and ample parking area as well. A good quiet ambiance for working as well. Definitely stopping here for coffee when am in Asheville next! read more

A little hard to find if you're following google from certain areas of Asheville (Lots of construction happening around the place). It's small and you have to hit it right in terms of timing or you'll not find a place to park (how frustrating!) the peanut butter "balls" are literally rave-worthy and MUST be tried. Our son gushed so much, we had to go back two days in a row and find a recipe of our own to try to make these at home. The guys at the register are super friendly and helpful - and they're more than happy to offer suggestions if you need some. But - standard coffee is top notch and we have no doubt the locals are frequenting this place for a reason :) read more

As a tourist, I liked how easy it was to find parking and figure out Ultra's order-here/grab-there flow. Based on that welcoming atmosphere and that there was a line out the door, but still seating inside and out (score!) the coffee was amazing. The WiFi was easy to connect to and allowed my husband to take care of some necessary business. All that gives it a five star rating as a coffee shop. I ordered the nitro, which was silken and had a perfect frothy top. My husband ordered an iced chai, which was too sweet to my tastes, but he liked it. We each ordered a bagel sandwich. I got the lox without tomato or onions. It was very salty. Maybe the freshness of the vegetables would have cut down on the saltiness. The coffeehouse has signs limiting you to an hour at the inside tables, so don't expect to come here for a long work day. read more

I came here twice and I have yet to be disappointed! The lunch sandwiches are my favorite and the Odyssey had yummy bread and a filling that wasn't too salty. The coffee was good too and had that chocolate aftertaste that I really enjoy. The wifi doesn't reach outside so not ideal for doing work but it works well inside. read more

We visited Ultra on our trip to Asheville to grab coffee before walking along the river. It's a really cute spot - one of those places that is very photo-worthy. We weren't looking to get coffee originally, just a place to park and walk along the river, but we saw the building from afar and had to go check it out. Plus, when is coffee ever a bad idea? The drinks we ordered were delicious. They also offered food that we didn't try. I had a chai latte and my husband had a vanilla latte, and we loved both. I loved that they had outdoor and indoor seating! I also appreciated how they were handling covid restrictions. The location is great, too: it's located next to some cute shops that were fun to explore after finishing our drinks. I'd highly recommend checking out Ultra if you're in the area. read more

Located in the River Arts District, this is a great coffee bar to chill, eat and enjoy. There were about 5 people ahead of me but the staff got the orders in quickly. I got the seasonal latte (caramel cardamom) with oat milk, my boyfriend got a drip coffee and we ate a Joey bagel sandwich and fig & Brie sandwich. The coffee and food were both delicious and filling. There was plenty of outside seating and I was able to have my dog with me which was a huge plus! read more

We stopped in this cute little coffee bar while visiting the art scene in the River Arts District in Ashville! We loved the vibe here! Super surprised by all the vegan bakery options. We tried a vegan cookie and it was delicious! The coffee was awesome too. Lots of art and jewelry displayed and for sale in this little shop. The outside patio is very nice as well. I would love to go back when I'm in Ashville! read more

This gem of a coffee shop and cafe is a bit off the beaten path, but it was perfect for a quick breakfast! They have some unique selections. I tried an everything bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese and a fig and oat bar. Both were amazing! The bagel somehow managed to taste both toasted and steamed. The cream cheese was delicious, and the fig and oat bar was the perfect amount of savory. Highly recommend! read more

I try to avoid coffee shops that only serve in takeaway cups--bad for forests, bad for our carbon emissions, bad for landfills. Why no mugs? How hard are mugs and tea cups with saucers? Other local coffee shops manage that kind of thing just fine. read more

Vibey little spot. Grabbed a Sunrise Bagel to go which turned out to be very flavorful and delicious with zero mess. Poked my head around the corner to see a small room full of tables and many typing away on their laptops. Jewelry from local artists (assuming) were perched along the windowsill for easy window shopping (no pun intended). I was inches away from buying a beautiful black pendant gold necklace. read more

Couldn't believe how crowded this was at 10:45am on a Monday BUT the employees navigated the line quickly & efficiently. We sat at the outdoor patio on a a beautiful fall day. Both of us had lattes which use Durham roasted Counter Culture coffee. We also had bagel sandwiches. My husband just had the basic sausage, egg, & cheese on a plain bagel. My Joey, which was basil pesto, smoked Gouda, a delicious sausage patty, & what I call sheet pan scrambled square egg on an everything bagel, was glorious. I recommend this joint for both coffee and breakfast. They also have lunch sandwiches & wraps that looked delightful as well! read more

Solid food, good coffee. Cheese biscuit was great. Easy in/out (no wait when we went). Plenty of parking. Friendly staff.

I know why this place is so popular! They have a lot of Vegan food selections and nibbles. I got a Coconut Macaroon with a chocolate bottom coating & GF! My friends got food, which was less than $10! I got an Iced Latte w/Cinnamon + Vanilla syrup. I double checked beforehand it wouldn't be too sweet like Starbs and they reassured me and I asked for half the syrup. I got the largest size and let's just say, didn't regret it especially since it really hit the spot on a hot afternoon. Parking is small, so I just had my parents drop me off as I met up with my friends. The inside can be tight especially when putting your order in & the line went out the door during a lunch rush. The most ideal spot to enjoy your coffee is outside where they have lots of seats and shade from trees! read more

Absolutely incredible food, service, and atmosphere. I'm very picky about my coffee shops, and Ultra Coffeebar does not disappoint! The coffee, a lavender honey latte, is a perfect mix of delightfully sweet and strong. The sandwich, a Joey Bagel with an added slice of tomato, was everything I could have ever dreamt of in a breakfast sandwich. With high quality pesto and balsamic notes, the fresh ingredients shine in this dish. Next time you're in the market for a munch, stop by Ultra Coffeebar for one of these delicious bites! read more
