Food Scene

They've got a little bit of everything - grab-and-go or sit and eat... they've got a full menu, bakery, bar, cafe, they've even got amazing "superfood lattes" - and everything in there is gluten free (but you wouldn't know it!).

Just the sweetest bakery/cafe around... and it's in W. Asheville - out of the hubbub of downtown. It will transport you to 1940's Paris with its ambience. May even make you shed a tear with their amazing pastries and breads. Coffee is on point. On a warm day, try their seasonal shrub, and on a cold day, try their butter chai...! No wifi here - focus on the treats and company instead.

Iconic tea shop, complete with a highly extensive tea menu with teas from all over the world, and a 100% gluten free (though you wouldn't notice) menu with completely nourishing snacks, meals, and even sweet treats. Sit at a cafe table or on some pillows on the floor depending on your vibe that day.

Always a hit for brunch or anytime - Sunny Point has been nationally recognized. Be prepared to wait, but they've got coffee for you while you do, and you can stroll in their garden with it ;) Lovely if you consider the wait a part of the whole experience.

Sightseeing

The iconic Biltmore Estate speaks for itself. Make a day out of it with a full tour and stroll in the gardens, or just go to the winery... it's quite a picturesque and unique experience either way.

At the heart of downtown, there is quite often something going on here - festivals, shows, outdoor market, etc. In the warm months, there is "Splashville" here - a place for kids to cool off and run through the fountains.

This is a beautiful haven for native plant species and lovely to walk around in, free and only minutes from the center of Asheville. Excellent place to picnic, dip your feet in the water, or just regroup.

Great place to sit indoors or outdoors for beers, complete with food truck. Immediate biz neighbors include delicious doughnuts, incredible bbq, and a pole fitness studio - everything you need! Also in the center of the South Slope Brewery district, so if you'd like to go brewery hoping, this is a great jumping off point.
