Location: 66 Broadway St, Asheville, NC
Our favorite coffee shop in Asheville! We love Rowan's seasonal lattes & the moody decor and vibe of the space. Check them out on the weekends for specialty waffles that will blow up your taste buds!

Location: 1 Page Ave SUITE 150, Asheville, NC
Our favorite restaurant in Asheville! Huli Sues is a brand new authentic Hawaiian restaurant located in the historic Grove Arcade. We are addicted to their Mochiko Chicken & Lilikoi Glazed BBQ Ribs!
3. Provisions Mercantile

Location: 728 Haywood Road, Asheville, NC & 14 Lodge Street, Asheville, NC
Asheville's most beautiful store - in our opinion! With two locations in West Asheville & Biltmore Village, Provisions Mercantile is your one-stop shop for all your local favorites. Plus we really love the friendly staff (Hi Beau!!)
4. Mother | Bread + Wine

Location: 20 Artful Way #102, Asheville, NC
Mother AVL, an artisan bread shop and wine store, recently opened their storefront space in the River Arts District! Locals are lined up before opening to get their hands on their sourdough breads, bagels, pretzels, muffins and other speciality items. We can attest to the hype about the jambon beurre sandwiches - they are THAT good!
5. Haywood Common

Location: 507 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC
Haywood Common is located in West Asheville and features a seasonal menu sourced from small local farms. We love that they're connected to The Whale, a local craft beer collective. The tuna poke is AMAZING - and the shared outdoor patio with The Whale is perfect for these warmer days!
6. Crave Dessert Bar

Location: 41 N Lexington Ave Suite# 100, Asheville, NC
In search of a late night spot to hang out after 10pm? We were too! We love Crave Dessert Bar - they have a HUGE menu - food, small bites, cocktails, desserts and hookah. Just a heads up they are 21+ after 9pm!
7. Cultivated Cocktails
Instagram: @cultivatedcocktailsdistillery
Location: 25 Page Ave suite 103, Asheville, NC
Cultivated Cocktails is a family-owned Asheville distillery that crafts award-winning spirits. We believe these may be award winning for being the strongest drinks in Asheville ;) Located directly across from the Grove Arcade, our recommendation is to grab drinks here and then dinner at Huli Sues right across the street!
8. Pollen Coffee + Flower Shop
Instagram: @pollenavl
Location: 45 S French Broad Ave SUITE 150, Asheville, NC
Pollen is a VIBE that you must experience! We love that they're also a flower shop (and a really cool one at that, the bouquets they put together are INSANE) & the natural light this space gets from their floor to ceiling windows is ~immaculate~
9. The Madness Sushi & Burger Bar
Instagram: @themadnessavl
Location: 275 Smokey Park Hwy Ste 251, Asheville, NC
We LOVE the sushi & the cocktails at The Madness! Their rolls taste as amazing as they look. We haven't tried their burgers yet - but we've heard they're great too! Major plus? It's outside of the craziness of downtown & THERE'S (FREE) PARKING!
