High Five Coffee

My absolute favorite coffee place downtown Asheville. I’ve tried to hit all the coffee shops downtown, and this place tops my list ever so slightly. It might not be overly excessive in any realm of coffee or foods, but it hits all the right spots perfectly for me. Open early, offers solid morning breakfast sandwiches, and the coffee/espresso is super delicious. The staff are super friendly and nice to everyone who stops in.

Right across from the parking garage to easily stop and grab coffee and go before your hour time limit is up in the garage, it’s also a super convenient location whether you’re already downtown or needing to drive through. If you’re looking for that quick morning boost, this place is great and reasonably priced.

I was visiting in Asheville and the hotel concierge suggested this place for coffee and it was OUTSTANDING! I got the Cesspool of Cinnamon and it was so good I got a second and then came back the following day before I left town. The staff was super friendly and accommodated my special request. The shop itself is cute and has plenty of seating. There were great pieces of art decorating the place, many of which were for sale. I wish I lived here and could make this my go-to coffee shop!

This place is PHENOMENAL! I want to say this is the best coffee house I’ve ever been to. The employees were nice too. If you’re stuck on which place to choose that will serve an AMAZING coffee to won’t regret this one. 10/10. loved it.

Solid place.
I've written a lot of reviews of coffee and I'm beginning to think there are more good coffee spots than bad ones. That, or I'm just really lucky or good at finding the good ones. This place is no exception.

Hip vibe. Friendly staff. Really good espresso served with sparkling water. Free internet. No complaints! Keep up the good work.

Stopped in on a whim this morning and we're so glad we did! The baristas were so knowledgeable and even humored my husband by giving him some latte art lessons! The drinks were most delicious to boot!

Had my 1st experience at High Five coffee, in downtown Asheville, today.
5 stars across the board, and wished I would have gotten over here sooner. I ordered both the Cubana & the Diablo, as well as a "medicine ball" and their sweet scone.

The Cubana is a 8oz Americano with 2oz half & half. Seasoned with raw sugar & sea salt. It tastes mild, smooth & sweet with an *almost honey aftertaste.

The Diablo is 8oz Americano with 2oz half & half. It has raw honey, sea salt, cinnamon, & cayenne. It definitely has a cinnamon taste, with a mild kick from the cayenne.

The sweet scone had hints of all spice and chocolate chips. It was a nice pallet cleanser between the 2 coffees. ☕☕

The medicine ball has a coconut oil fudge flavor in the middle, that will melt on your tongue.

Go drop if next time you are downtown!!

Was in Asheville for a couple of days and before heading back to Georgia we wanted to stop at a local coffee shop. A quick Google search based on the reviews landed us at High Five Coffee today. Hubby ordered the golden milk tea that he said was one of the best coffee shop drinks he's ever had. I had the cinnamon latte which was amazing. Beautiful swan latte artwork to cap it off. We split a lox bagel (unreal good) with a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. The food and the service was fantastic. We'd definitely go back if we're back in town. Highly recommend.

Worth the 2 hour drive!!!!!! Sooooooooo good, unique flavor, is like an elegant flavor that you will only experience there. Coffee with sea salt anyone???? You must try this place, 10 out 5 stars!! Not to mention the warming welcome and super friendly staff❤️.

I tried the barista's special for the day, a miso tahini caramel latte. It was one of the most unique and tasty lattes I've ever tried. Would definitely go back to try other options.

Not a good choice If you like single origin and non espresso based coffees. No pour over. No French press. Just batch brew which is average. To be fair espresso were better than average. Sour dough toast was under toasted and bland.
