Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Asheville

"Tupelo is one of the busiest and most popular restaurants, especially their downtown cafe. Known for locally-sourced ingredients, Tupelo has southern cuisine and offers brunch all day. If you didn’t make a reservation in time and cannot eat Tupelo Honey’s Southern Shakshuka in person, definitely add them to your Asheville takeout and delivery list."

"It’s hard for me to resist a good biscuit, so when I see a biscuit place nearby, I need to get my hands on them. To be perfectly honest, I had a somewhat underwhelming biscuit experience in Charleston last year at Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. While the biscuits were massive, I found them to be a bit bland."

"Two other hot breakfast spots in Asheville are in the West Asheville neighborhood: Sunny Point Cafe (consistently ranked one of the best breakfast spots in Asheville) and Biscuit Head."

"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."

"This favorite West Asheville brunch spot may have greatly expanded its outdoor dining space, but the breakfast fare it's best known for remains comfortingly familiar, even after all these years. You can't go wrong with the huevos rancheros, which you can order with tofu chorizo if you'd prefer."

"Our personal favorite was Over Easy Cafe, a delicious southern comfort food joint with incredible savory dishes. We had some amazing Bloody Marys there as well, in case that’s your thing."

"Head over to the Over Easy Cafe on Broadway, which serves up comfort food in a casual setting. They're open 7 days a week from 8 a.m."

"131 MAIN Restaurant Asheville is a refined New American-style restaurant located within the Biltmore Park Town Square mixed-use shopping center and community, offering daily lunch and dinner service in an upscale-casual setting.

A variety of clever burgers and sandwiches are also available at lunch, ranging from sterling prime rib sandwiches with hot au jus to New England-style ultimate chili dogs with mustard, onions, and a deviled egg."

"Premium quality Ice Cream homemade with love in Asheville, NC since 1978. Dairy, Vegan, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Local Goat Milk Ice Cream & Sorbet Flavors. Milkshakes, sundaes, smoothies & desserts."

"I was not allowed to have a sample, and my birthday cake ice cream was nasty. I ordered a true dairy ice cream, and it tasted worse than halo top (which ... More reviews"

"Ice cream sandwiches are what this ice cream shop is known for, hence the name!. The best part is that the sandwiches are made with homemade, fresh baked cookies and ice cream. You will find you all-time favorite ice cream flavors and some fantastic seasonal flavor creations, such as bourbon bacon toffee between orange rye cookies; chocolate sorbet between peanut butter cookies; snickerdoodle ice cream between snickerdoodle cookies, and many more!"

"French Broad Chocolate Lounge is sure to be an adventure for the senses each time you visit. Intent on nurturing connections to the source of their food, French Broad Chocolates imports cacao from their trusted farmers, and transforms it into fine chocolate. They are located in downtown Asheville at 10 S Pack Square, Asheville, NC 28801."

"Remember when you were a kid and the ultimate summer treat consisted of a simple ice cream sandwich?. You can recapture the appeal of this quintessential warm weather delicacy at Sunshine Sammies. Of course, the ice cream sandwiches served there don’t look quite like the traditional version you received as a child."

"You will find over 100 stores at the Asheville Mall, including like H&M, Vans, Yankee Candle Company, and Champs Sports. If you work up an appetite during your shopping spree, there are several fast dining restaurants located in the mall. Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, Chic-fil-A, Planet Smoothie, and Starbucks are just a few places to grab a quick bite!"

"This mall offers many of your favorite retail stores and an ample food court. Sears, Belk, JCPenney, and Dillard's anchor the shopping center, and there's also an Old Navy, Gap, Eddie Bauer, American Eagle, Champs Sports, and Bath & Body Works. For a quick fix, stop by Cinnabon, Starbucks or Planet Smoothie."

"This hidden gem is tucked away near the shops/museums near the Grove Park Inn. The ambience is a more quiet and intimate dining scene as opposed to the downtown vibe. They have an amazing outside garden area for dining during the warmer months."

"Located near the famous Biltmore Estate, Biltmore Village offers a wide selection of shops, including antiques, art galleries, home furnishings, and more. Notable stores include The Olde World Christmas Shoppe, Lululemon, and Village Antiques. You can even attend cooking classes at Williams Sonoma!"
