Coffee Shops WIth Outdoor Seating
Liberty House is one of the best places for breakfast in Asheville. It’s tucked in a North Asheville neighborhood and has a charming side area for outdoor seating.
They have a full espresso menu, as well as coffee, tea and juice. The star of the show, though, is their blueberry sourdough pancake.
Cooperative Coffee in West Asheville has an amazing outdoor patio and a separate picnic area down a flight of steps. It’s a perfect spot for gathering with friends.
The space is just as great inside– you’ll find bright colors & a full espresso menu.
Rowan Coffee’s West Asheville location is the perfect destination for a great cup of coffee on a covered patio. It’s located on Haywood Ave near several shops and restaurants.
While their original downtown spot perfected the art of coffee, the expansive West Asheville space has allowed them to significantly broaden their food menu. It’s also become a community hub hosting events like oyster nights and pizza pop-ups.
Farewell in Asheville’s South Slope offers a bright and airy workspace filled with plants and minimalist decor.
Enjoy their perfectly brewed batch coffee, espresso drinks with house-made syrups, or a glass of natural wine either inside with the large window open or outside on their patio
Grab a stool and settle in for some serious people-watching and delicious coffee. Summit Coffee in the Grove Arcade in downtown Asheville is a great spot to take a break from your busy day in the city.
An unexpected patio awaits you in the back of PennyCup’s North Asheville location. There are a few picnic tables there and it’s blocked off so you don’t have to worry too much if you have little ones in tow.
Ultra Coffeebar in the River Arts District is known for their extensive coffee menu, bagel sandwiches and vegan breakfast offerings.
They have several different styles and sizes of tables out front. It’s a great place to hang with friends or little ones while enjoying a bagel sandwich and coffee.
BattleCat Coffee Bar is a funky spot in West Asheville with a laid-back atmosphere and a patio out front. It’s a locally-loved spot, with several baked goods to choose from.
Prior to Hurricane Helene, Tiger Bay Cafe operated out of the same space. The cafe did not reopen following the storm.
Another PennyCup location, but this time in downtown Asheville. It’s actually a bit off the beaten path and has a few picnic tables right at the road. Traffic on the street (both foot and car!) is pretty low.
