Best French Bakery in Asheville

"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."

"While Plant is a relative newcomer to the Asheville scene, the Laughing Seed Cafe in Asheville’s bustling downtown is one of the city’s grande dames of vegetarian cuisine (with all vegan dishes clearly marked on the menu). And Laughing Seed’s maturity shows in well-balanced dishes such as its raw-food spinach pesto manicotti. In this case, the “pasta” are slivers of zucchini stuffed with a cashew “ricotta.” But the ultimate element of the dish is the chunky, raw tomato sauce that seems to channel the essence of the vegetable and sun directly onto a plate."

"A post shared by Laughing Seed Cafe (@laughing.seed.cafe) on Nov 28, 2019 at 8:48am PST. Other than being one of the best vegan restaurants in the city, Laughing Seed Café is also known for serving Sunday brunch. Reserve your table here and come and enjoy a plate of the finest organic cuisines prepared with the best farm-to-table ingredients sourced from the local farmers."

"This bright, inviting space has a playful approach to vegetablizing familiar dishes like lasagna made with zucchini noodles or pizza on a cauliflower crust. A smattering of outdoor tables make this a wonderful lunch escape, and raw diet followers will also find a few options here. Laughing Seed’s Sunday brunch is a vegetarian’s best brunch bet in Asheville."

"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."

"The Mountain Play Lodge is great, especially for rainy days!. It is clean, safe, fun, and provides kids a place to let their imagination run wild!. It includes a huge treehouse jungle gym, unbelievable soft-foam sculptures, and realistic playhouses!"

"Near Curve Studios sits the century-old Wedge Studios building, which basically serves as a mini-version of the best of the River Arts District and Asheville in general. Here, painters, filmmakers and textile artists create by day and can often be found sipping beers after work in Wedge Brewery’s funky courtyard. Wedge Studios, 129 Roberts St, Asheville, NC, USA"

" If you are looking for breakfast, coffee, and donuts in downtown Asheville, head to The Underground Cafe. The Underground Cafe makes small-batch doughnuts that they hand-cut each morning. You can call ahead to double-check their daily rotating donuts."

"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."
