Ivory Road Café & Kitchen

Amazing secret gem of a breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and treated us well. We split the Nutella & banana stuffed French toast and it was absolutely phenomenal - they even split it onto two plates for us, which was great because we definitely would have been fighting over bites. The hash bowl with an egg on top was delicious and so was the avocado toast with salmon lox. Can’t wait to become a regular here!

I had the pleasure of stopping by this place during our trip in North Carolina. I made a last minute change to our breakfast plans before our hike for the day. I chose Ivory Road over a couple of other local spots and I'm happy I did!

The Nutella and banana stuffed french toast was the best french toast I've had, no contest. The hash soul bowl was amazing as well and if you enjoy well made duck do not pass this dish up.

The restaurant is essentially a house with table seating inside and outside seating available as well. It's a very cozy and quiet setting, perfect for a relaxing start to the morning.

The service was great as everyone there was very friendly and welcoming.

Needless to say if I'm ever in the area again I will be ready for round 2!

Ivory road Café was one of my favorite experiences on this Asheville trip. We went for Afternoon High Tea, and if that sounds good to you, make sure to reserve far in advance or call them to get on the wait-list! I was very fortunate to get a last minute cancellation for tea, and it was my birthday as well. They made it extra special by lighting a candle for me on one of the cakes. The food, especially the coffee and hazelnut scone they felt right out of the oven. My other favorite was the sandwiches. Service was great so overall highly recommend coming here if you're in the area!

Such a cute little place to grab breakfast. I had the chorizo hash bowl with Brussels. The almond butter maple latte was so good. It’s a house and the different rooms with seating was a very cozy vibe. Carolyn provided the best service too!

This is a quaint little restaurant in an old house. There are a number of rooms where you may be seated for your meal. The menu was somewhat limited.
We visited for lunch, but after looking over the menu we decided to order from the breakfast menu. We both had the Southern Skillet. It had cheddar cheese grits, bacon and two eggs served in an iron skillet. It was a delicious combination. The wheat bread came with honey butter and jam.
The meal was excellent and the service was good.
Enjoy a meal here when you can! And while you are there be sure to visit the Little Free Library near the parking lot. Take a book and leave a book!

Phenomenal brunch at this stellar cafe!!

We were welcomed from the moment we stepped out of the car and enjoyed great service throughout. The food was pretty spectacular all around. I am obsessed with the duck pot pie. Parents both got the cinnamon roll bacon egg skillet and the warm, nutty cinnamon paste/spread on the roll had us all singing its praises. Mimosas and coffee were great too.

It’s mostly outside seating here, but if weather is cooperating, outside is where you wanna be.

Love, love, love this place!!! Woman owned. Groovy place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, drive through and easy access to parking lot.

To go orders are super fast and online ordering app is easy. Everything is always delicious. I’m obsessed with their rosemary chicken salad and love that they have really delicious gluten free bread if you need a substitution.

The skillet breakfast is a little addicting, too. And I cannot forget to mention her mimosas. She makes wine with lavender lemonade that will absolutely knock your socks off. Lots of homemade sweet stuff, too!

Once again Jill (and Nathan) knocked it out of the park. This take on a Reuben was beyond delightful. All the right flavors and perfect for an afternoon filling meal. 100% a must try dish!

My hubby & I went here today for brunch and it was beyond perfect.

The outside is so charming with its cottage feel and that feeling continues inside with its cozy rooms, teapot displays, and pretty views.

Kat was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful. I ordered the blueberry crumb muffin latte & my hubby went for traditional drip style. The latre was perfect on a slightly cool morning lime today.

I had the duck confeit pot pie with greens dressed with lemon poppyseed dressing & hubby had jalapeño biscuits with baked eggs drizzled with ham gravy, bacon, and fresh fruit. OMG! Duck pot pie!!!! Who knew?! Sooooo delicious. The puff pastry was perfect and complimented the tender veggies, melt in your mouth duck, and perfectly seasoned gravy within. Ed's biscuits were so tender and were perfect with the rather light ham gravy.

We look forward to returning
I true gem of a place❤️

This place is most notable for it's beauty and self-flatery of the staff 🤣. The owner confronted me about taking pictures of the staff; however, I spent a minute or two taking pictures of the restaurant because of it's novel appearance; if anything, I wish I could remove the less than novel members of the staff that incidentally got caught in my pics because most of them take away from the beauty of the place!

To speak of the food, the bass Reuben would've been ok except for the overbearing granny mustard (that stuff is very strong!). The Bacon and eggs were ok. To be fair, the bacon strips were healthy, not thin transparent pieces other places will try to pass off. The mocha latte was ok, the food is fairly priced. In summation, a visually aesthetic place with a pleasantly antiquated feel with an apparently ultra-liberal, feminist oriented staff.
