Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Mount Mitchell

"Sunny Point Cafe is a family run farm-to-table comfort food restaurant known for hearty breakfast staples like huevos rancheros and the “mighty good breakfast pie,” featuring their signature bacon, free-range eggs, and sharp white cheddar baked in a cream cheese crust, served with a side of fresh seasonal fruit. (They also serve a delicious maple-black pepper bacon that you can also get 12 pieces of as a side. Highly recommended for bacon-lovers!). We love that this Asheville breakfast spot is always cooking with super fresh, hyper-seasonal ingredients."

"With southern breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros, chicken & waffles and shrimp & grits you will not find a time when this place isn’t busy. While you wait, grab a coffee or mimosa and chill on the patio or stroll through their fruit and vegetable garden. The maple black pepper bacon is life changing, your mouth will thank you."

"If you love breakfast food for dinner – this is the place for you. This family owned eatery is one of the few open past 3pm, and their dinner menu contains many of their breakfast and brunch staples. While Sunny Point Cafe is notorious for a long wait, Ashevillians agree it’s well worth it."

"Billing themselves as Asheville's "original vegetarian restaurant," the Laughing Seed Cafe has been doing something right for a long time down on Wall St. in downtown Asheville. Perhaps best known as a place for dinner, they are open for lunch as well. And, if you are looking for a great place for brunch on Sunday, look no further than the Laughing Seed Cafe."

"This vegetarian restaurant serves globally-inspired dishes that don’t skimp on flavour. There are starters like the cheese and “charcuterie” board that pair well with their craft beer and wine selection for a laid-back evening as well as healthy spins on favourite comfort foods. Try the spinach pesto zucchini manicotti."

"If you’re looking for farm-to-table, internationally influenced cuisine, look no further. The Laughing Seed Cafe serves up a delicious range of recipes that are prepared thoughtfully and thoroughly. Start off with the jalapeño onion fries."

"Located in Biltmore Village, Chelsea's is a quaint little dessert place tucked away in a gift shop. Here you can find a unique gift for a lady, French and European antiques, wonderful desserts, fancy foods and even a proper English tea. Read more about Chelseas Cafe & Tea Room →"

"Operating from a modest standalone building on busy Merrimon Avenue just north of downtown, Plant regularly tops lists as one of the nation’s best vegan restaurants. It’s also 90% organic and mostly gluten-free. But the bold and artful flavor profiles executive chef Jason Sellers coaxes from his ingredients lack nothing."

"Plant is a vegan restaurant that features 90% organic ingredients, mostly local, and often gluten-free. Their inventive menu boasts delicious dishes such as cremini & ricotta ravioli, ramen with brussels sprouts, and seitan chile con queso. Reservations are encouraged."

"This elevated vegan restaurant serves up artfully plated dishes, craft beer and biodynamic wine. Focusing on plant-based is second nature as the Asheville-area is home to one of the most diverse biospheres in the world. The dishes are creative and packed with flavour."

"HOURS: Sun-Thu 11am to 8pm; Fri-Sat 11am to 9pm; Delivery available until 9:30pm. In the interest of full disclosure, I worked my way through college at a Mellow Mushroom offshoot in Atlanta, and later managed one of the oldest Mellow Mushroom locations (across from ATL’s Piedmont Park). So you’ll forgive me for having a bit of personal bias towards this iconic pizza place now, nearly 30 years later."

"Gourmet pizza chain offers plentiful pies, calzones, salads and a popular beer selection. Don't miss Wednesday's \"mellow trivia\" night!. Read more about Mellow Mushroom →"

"Little more than a year old, new-kid-on-the-block Elements Real Food sells its own nut “mylks” and smoothies with everything from spirulina and maca, a South American tuber. On the cafe side, Elements has a unique sipping broth (a good anti-cold elixir with its chaga tea, chickpea miso, ginger, and sesame); an ALT (an avocado, lettuce and tomato sandwich with veganaise and on bread from artisanal baker Farm and Sparrow); and raw food desserts such as an avocado-vegan chocolate pie."

"This cold-press juice bar and cafe serves and sells 16-ounce bottles of freshly made juices, nut “mylks” made with cashews, and smoothies. Those looking for a bit more texture can choose from acai bowls, salads or avocado toast, and gluten-free bread and other options can be found on their menu as well. And for raw dieters, their raw desserts earn rave reviews."

There are dipped cones and more toppings than you can count, so that you can create your own original ice cream masterpiece!. This place also makes homemade nostalgic desserts, such as funnel cakes, beignets, shaved ice, and much more!"

"A post shared by Asheville Eats & Drinks🍻🌮🔥 (@ashevilleeatss). 10th Muse Comfort Foods offers caffeine, donuts and ice cream at their shop on Patton Avenue west of downtown Asheville. You'll love their amazing creations including bubble waffle ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, funnel cakes, fried oreos and coffee latte shakes."

"Not only does UpCountry serve gluten-free pizza crust, but you can also order delicious Darë Vegan Cheese on your pie. We highly recommend the Mixed Mushroom gf pizza with vegan cheese."

"If you want to stay in the River Arts District, check out one of the two Wedge Brewing Company locations: Wedge at Wedge Studios or Wedge at Foundation. Both are located in old warehouse buildings, serve up unique small batch beers that you won't find anywhere else (since Wedge is not a distribution brewery), and have food trucks on-site during most lunch and dinner hours."

"Oyster House Brewing Company was founded in 2009 with a purpose: to produce high-quality, unique ales for beer and seafood lovers. Their batches are small, and you can tell that a lot of care went into their creation. Get some of their delicious seafood and wash it all down with your brew of choice."
