Our friends that vacation in Asheville every summer told us about the Underground Bakery. Unfortunately we always get there very late and we buy the delicious Bretzels that they make. Today we just got the plain. The other day we got the cheese and jalapeño. I also had a delicious cappuccino at their adjoining coffee shop. We love Hendersonville and all its little shops and welcoming atmosphere. We also learned that you can preorder their goodies online and pick them up. Great to know! read more

Really good bakery with great bread choices. The price is very reasonable. The pretzel was fabulous. The fruit bars are great and the molasses cookie is to die for. We bought a couple of bread options that look absolutely scrumptious. This is a great bakery in Hendersonville area that I highly recommend. read more

Everything on the menu is incredible! The deliciousness will haunt you forever. Matthew is literally the most amazing person!! He went completely out of his way for a total stranger (me) to help make my dad's birthday magical and special. You will not find better food or a kinder person. read more

Food is consistently excellent. Staff is posy and helpful. Storefront has a nice inviting vibe with separate lines for bakery versus coffee customers. Always a treat. read more

Every time I visit Hendersonville I always visit Underground Baking! I order online, it's so easy! I pick up my order then end buying more bread, croissants, sticky buns, babka, or whatever because it's all excellent! Friday's Pizza is to die for! Every flavor is great and I have ordered them all. Ordered with ease, picked up and brought Underground's pizza to family parties and everyone loved them! Underground Baking is so worth a visit you won't regret it. read more

I went to the Asheville bread festival, and let me say: if you have not had a bronut, you need to. Bronut is love and tastes like beauty itself i would not be without bronuts if it killed me read more

Wonderful bread, brezels, and coffee shop. Have tried the brioche and the rosemary focaccia. Feels great to have a small local bakery to support every week. read more

Everything here is highest quality. Friendly folks and incredibly good pastry and breads.

This is a wonderful little bakery. They have fresh loafs of sourdough, semolina, and other breads. I also recommend their pretzels and croissants. Parking can be an issue, and usually have to use the business across the street. They give their bread away to a local shelter around lunch time so definitely want to hit them up early! read more

We woke up early to make sure we were there right when they opened on a Saturday at 9 am. Looks like 50 other people had the same idea with the line down the street! We were focused on getting a Bronut the only make on Saturdays! Every time we come, they sell out! It is magical! Well, we got one!!! Plus, there are many other things to try. When they brought out still warm baguette- we snatched one. Saw the sourdough, so of course we had them slice for us to enjoy for sandwiches this week. The croissants- warning- you think you just want to take a small bite - NOPE, you will eat them over the kitchen sink, and just like that, it's gone. The Pretzels are always a good treat for later. Tried them all - all amazing! I'm super happy to see all the love for this local bakery. Way too many items for two people, but I'm not mad about it. Do not miss it!!! Well worth the trip AND THE WAIT outside in 34-degree weather!!!!! read more

FANTASTIC!! Love the bread- make the 3 hour drive round trip several times a year and load up the freezer. Also a big fan of the pretzels and pecan sticky buns. read more

Wonderful old school bake shop in the heart of Hendersonville. Amazing fare lovingly prepared and presented. Good variety that changes daily. Pricing is good for quality. Good artesian coffee and tea in an attached shop that is perfect for a window seat cup on a cold wet morning. Staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Warning! Their naked good are addictively delicious and you may find yourself returning daily. God knows we did while in town for a few days! read more

Everything here is absolutely delicious! They have the best breads, croissants & scones. On Saturdays, the chocolate eclairs are amazing!

The best fresh baked goods in the area, if you are looking for the croissant that melts as you taste it this is the place. The baguettes or scones or any breads are simply amazing and delicious! Grab coffee right next door. The staff is kind and efficient, we will keep coming back!! This bakery is one of our local favorites read more

Best rustic breads in town! You know the ones - chewy crusts with beautifully light or slightly dense insides all made with organic flours. You won't find displays of super-sugar-coated pastries, but you will find gorgeous scones, focaccia pizza, Christmas bread, and bretzels! Wonderfully helpful staff top off this list. read more

Awesome pretzels. Try the jalapeño ones delish. Also check them out at the famers market This spring

Very beautiful shop, a very nice quaint feel to it. The ham and swiss croissant was amazing, high quality meat and cheese perfectly melted within a buttery and soft croissant.....I'm about to go back and buy another one. The babka bread is also delicious and it's nice to see so many different varieties of bread and baked goods. The underground gem of Henderson read more

I want to work here! The semolina bread is just spectacular. Went through half a loaf in the car. Will be making another order this week and will get croissants. Can't wait. read more

Used to go almost every Saturday. For coffee and focaccia and will picked up some cookies and muffins for boyfriend, which he loves. I really liked going there. Until one day. The creamers in the coffee bar were empty, one of the owners (lady) was behind the counter (no one in line, unusual) and i told her a couple of times and she just looked me in the eye, and kept moving things around on the display window. I would have understood if there was a rush, a line, a phone call. But there was none of that. I haven't been there since. read more

Absolutely my favorite bakery across the mountains including Asheville, old world pretzels made with food grade lye, delicious pizzas, Artisan sourdough loaves, no critiques on anything I've ever ordered from there, I wish they had less limited hours but hey I got it we're in a recession read more

The Pumpkin Chocolate sourdough bread is a new one to try as I'm a sourdough addict! It was a beautiful fall day in the Hendersonville farmers market downtown. Beautiful flowers and succulents in pumpkins , fabric made pumpkins, and great selection of veggies and herbs. We especially enjoyed the young band playing the Banjo , guitar and fiddles! read more

Underground Baking - Yum - can't wait to serve this to my kids! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hendersonville, North Carolina

I was in the neighborhood and came to this bakery because of the Yelp reviews, especially the reviewer who didn't like that this establishment enforces masks. I went out of my way because they enforce masks. Good on you. I bought a few items to try and to share, and I even left a tip. Friendly customer service, baguette is delicious. I didn't get to try a pretzel, but I can vouch for the scones. Thanks for delicious food, but also for trying to keep everyone safe! read more

Ya'll have heard of the Antichrist.... Well, I'm the anti-perky Yelp girl. You will never catch me peppering my reviews with phrases like "OMG, the food was amazeballs!" or "Everything was sooooooooooo good!!!! " Ever. It takes a lot for me to love a place unabashedly, but when I do, I'm all in. As with here. I can't remember the last time I was this enchanted by a bakeshop's ability to churn out goods with such a perfect combination of heart and technical precision: So yeah... We tried a bunch of things, including Focaccia Pizza, Pretzels, and Croissants, plus a Molasses Cookie and a Sticky Bun. If I had to choose a favorite, and please trust me when I say this feels very much like the proverbial dilemma of being forced to pick your most beloved child, I'd go with the Croissants. I got one filled with Ham, Cheese, & Jalapeno, and it was a thing of flaky, buttery beauty. Loved that the Jalapeno had a real kick too. Am not playin' when I say there are some NYC bakeshops that could learn a thing or two from this spot. This is the only treats place we visited twice during a 10-day trip to Asheville and thereabouts. And if I'd had my way, we would have stopped in more than that. But anyway, during our second visit, hubby spotted a promising looking coffee shop next door, and went inside to 'investigate.' Apparently, he began chatting with random customers while there, and it turns out, both the coffee shop and Underground are owned by the same people; people who apparently hail from Napa. Now, I don't know about you, but when hear that word, things like 'crazy posh food & wine', and 'French Laundry' leap to mind. So while this is purely conjecture, maybe the Napa background helps explain the technical precision that I noted earlier. But the heart? That sh*t can't be learned, and it's here. In every lovingly crafted bite. This l'il bakeshop deserves all the positive Yelp accolades. Consider my mind officially blown to see there have been just 18 reviews since 2013. It's enough to make a girl want to unabashedly declare: 'This place is amazeballs!' I guess there's a first time for everything.:) read more

Not a fan of the mask sign on the door (please lets not add to the hysteria) when the county does not require one... But more importantly, the staff is wonderful, the spinach and artichoke pretzel was amazing -- light and fluffy, yet crisp on the outside... The baguette was the best I have had here in the area and though I did not try, the coffee bar looks like perfection. Will be back! read more

Love absolutely love this place! I do not live in Hendersonville but I will and do drive way out of my way to get their pretzels. Because they are amazing and I crave them on the regular. The jalapeno cheddar pretzel is my dream pretzel. But the artichoke parmesan gets an honorable mention. Really everything there is a hundred percent delicious. I've bought bread, cookies, and their lunch focaccia pizza which is carbs and dairy heaven. Insider tip: Their cookies are wonderful and can be found at liberty house cafe in Asheville or next door at incite coffee. read more

I went here to pick up some items for a friend who is obsessed with all things bread. Safe to say, I'm glad it wasn't my own money I was spending. The staff were rude, and the bread was meh. You can make mediocre overpriced bread, or you can be rude, but not both at the same time. Three stars for the food, and one star for the service and atmosphere. read more

Very clean space. The aesthetic is beautiful. Food is amazing. I tried the artichoke bretzel and I highly recommend it. Nice and helpful workers. Wonderful read more

Amazing bakery offerings. These guys make high quality drool worthy breads & are also very nice. The adjoining coffee bar is also on point.

A day trip to Hendersonville requires exploring a locally owned food stop. We got a brownie and the magic bar for my boys - Wow! I don't think any brownie has ever compared to those. The boys devoured them. I also took home 3 cranberry walnut scones and a massive oat muffin. Our total came to about $15. I'm not too sure about the scones though... I expect them to be crumbly and kinda hard, but these were more like a scone shaped muffin. Good flavor but the texture threw me off. Maybe that's how it's done there, maybe it was an off batch....? The oat muffin was really good. My husband and I were rationing ourselves by taking slivers of it throughout the day lol I really need to get down there on a Saturday for the Christmas bread. read more

Awesome food, awesome prices. Seriously, half the price of Starbucks food and 10x the quality and flavor. Coffee is great and roasted right (coming from an ex barista and lifetime coffee snob). I wish they were open more so I could go more frequently but I also understand the need to be closed. I will be returning next week for more coffee cake and coffee! Also, the employees are kind and personable, it's awesome! read more

I love this bakery!! Yummy Christmas bread with nuts and cranberries year round, and really delicious whole grain breads not to mention a good crunchy bread with a soft center!! Unfortunately they are not open as often as pre Covid, and you have to call ahead to order but it's worth it!! Try their pizza while your there. read more

I cannot express how wonderful this bakery is.....the staff is always so welcoming and helpful! The muffins, croissants and cake are so delicious we end up going multiple times when we visit Hendersonville,NC. The star this time was the focaccia pizza. It has to be preordered and picked up on Friday between 11:00-1:00. DELICIOUS!!! We ordered the pepperoni and weren't disappointed. Don't miss this place when in Hendersonville. read more

We live in Asheville and just recently discovered this amazing little bakery on our way to a festival in downtown Hendersonville . Everything looked so good it was hard to make a decision. My husband and I chose the ham and swiss croissant and the chocolate croissant for breakfast. We also purchased their rosemary focaccia bread and the rustic sourdough to take home. Everything was absolutely delicious. Probably the best we have ever had in the area. We will definitely be back! read more

Sesame semolina loaf was amazing! A truly unique gustatory experience. I'm now on a mission to try their other offerings!

Bread. I love bread. They make it even better by adding cheese!! Love this place. I ended up going two days in a row. Friendly staff and very helpful. I will be back! read more

Great bread. My own experience (unfortunately) is that the appear to not care a bit about serving customers. Not open many days and very limited hours. You're unlikely to be able to purchase bread if you walk in. zyou have to order ahead of time online and rven that access is severely limited. I love the bread but the experience has been such a turnoff I wonder if I'll return. read more

We stopped in here on a visit to Hendersonville prior to a girlfriend's wedding nearby... WOW! The focaccia bread pizza is amazing... you MUST go! My friends had gone the day before and brought us some coconut macaroons and a brownie... all were delightful! The atmosphere of this place, the friendly smiles, and the perfectly fresh and delicious breads were so memorable that I can hardly wait to go back again!! Thank you for a lovely lunch, and we will be back!! :) read more

If I was from Minnesota (so sue me I've watching Fargo season 3), I would probably say " Gosh darnit these guys know how to make bread dontcha know". Had a rockin' Ghost Pepper pretzel from the Brezel "BZL" Bus that was at State of Origin! You take a bite with some whole grain mustard on it - you feel the burn - and then you crave more. Totally addictive and totally delicious! What an ingenious way to spread word of your business and repurpose an old school bus!! I am determined to work my way through the menu one baked good at a time!! read more

We were excited to try a local bakery so since this one got good reviews, we tried it. No one treated us when we came in, and the person at the counter was just the opposite of friendly. Maybe she's having a bad morning. We ordered our croissants and left - no thank you... nothing. Plus the food is so-so. We've had better from a grocery store...super disappointed. read more
