Asheville Coffee Shops WIth Awesome Food
Charming & casual coffee + breakfast in downtown Asheville
Despite the fact that The Rhu is in the heart of downtown Asheville, it still has an off-the-beaten-path feel. They have a great breakfast and lunch menu as well as an excellent pastry selection.
For breakfast, try a buttermilk biscuit or their seasonal quiche. And don’t miss their pastrami Reuben for lunch. Make sure to grab a brownie, too!
The Rhu is a great place to work remotely because they have a ton of seating upstairs with outlets.
Bagel Sandwiches in the River Arts District
River Arts District’s Ultra Coffeebar is a go-to spot for excellent coffee drinks and delicious breakfast & lunch sandwiches.
Their menu includes fresh bagels, unique sandwiches and several vegan options. Don’t miss their sunrise sandwich with pickled onion!
As far as ordering goes, you just order at the counter and they’ll call your name when your coffee and food are ready to pick up. Grab a table outside if the weather is nice!

Daily brunch with outdoor seating in North Asheville
North Asheville’s Liberty House is an absolute dream. Their food is top-notch and the garden seating isn’t matched.
Their menu is available daily and includes a few breakfast and lunch options. Try anything, but especially the famous blueberry sourdough pancake. The avocado toast is also great, as well as their cobb salad with tarragon ranch dressing.
Breakfast and lunch are available all day and they have a few brunch specials on the weekend.
Now, even though it’s a ‘coffee house’, don’t plan to make Liberty your go-to spot to work remotely all day. Their breakfast/brunch service is too popular for people to stay, so they don’t even offer Wi-Fi.
Local cafe with coffee & great breakfast sandwiches
Mosaic Cafe is a charming eatery in Biltmore Park. It’s located just by the YMCA and has several tables along the sidewalk.
Mosaic is our local recommendation if you are looking for a delicious breakfast sandwich to go along with your coffee. They also have pastries and smoothies on the menu. Try the Lumberjack on the pretzel bun if you are hungry!
And that wraps up our list of coffee shops with awesome food in Asheville. If you want more coffee shop ideas, check out our guide to coffee shops with great outdoor seating.
