Delicious and quality food great service. Has indoor and outdoor seating (not covered). Dogs can stay inside as well, assuming they are well behaved/calm. I highly recommend the plain croissant (warmed) and the Veggie Quiche (warmed).

#1 Hot Matcha latte in Asheville! This is by far my favorite coffee shop in Asheville, and that's saying something because we have so many good ones! The bright, airy vibes with all of the thriving plants make for such a refreshing atmosphere. An excellent spot for short meet and greats and remote workers. Thanks for being so awesome!

Farewell nestles into the South Slope like a cat napping in the sun. The coffee is well roasted and the shots perfectly pulled making drinks rich and balanced without bitterness. My pastry didn’t rewrite the book on sweets, but settled nicely between sweet and buttery. The staff approached their craft with care, each drink served hot but not scalding and tastefully adorned. The ambience cuddles into the hillside, plants draping from windowsills and espresso machine group heads growing organically from the countertop. Parking is the only challenge; prepare for a multi-block hike and perhaps to wait for a seat. This locale attracts knitters and students, workers and friends. If you come you’ll find yourself curiously content to stay a while.

For pretty much everyone I know, this is the beloved, go-to south slope coffee shop. They have exceptional, high quality coffee no matter your preferred way to indulge in your caffeine addiction. This is also my go-to place when I run out of coffee at home to pick up a nice bag. It’s a lovely shop with kind, friendly workers. I should have expressed this via a google review sooner :) thanks for being an exceptional part of our neighborhood.

The Iced lavender latte is amazing and the coffee is strong which i appreciate! Great seating inside and out, with pretty OK parking. Both baristas while I was there were warm and friendly. Get there early if you want to egg and cheese sandwiches. They tend to sell quick

Very nice little coffee shop. The location is great and has a decent amount of free parking around and near the building. The inside has lots of seating and is nicely decorated in a minimal style, and the space has lots of natural lighting. The works are friendly and the offerings at the coffee shop are good. I got a rose latte and a cinnamon oat cookie. The latte was 6-7 after tip and the cookie was 5. The music they play isn’t too loud and the general ambiance is nice. One of the best coffee shops in Asheville in my opinion :)
