Izzy's Coffee Den

My boyfriend and I stopped in and shared a drink and a bagel. We got a frozen blended green tea and an asiago bagel with cream cheese. They both were really good! It was such a nice snack. The inside is super cool, and the person working was also really cool. I sadly did not get his name, but he mentioned to someone that he was studying radiology so that’s awesome. Highly recommend stopping in and trying something!

Fantastic little coffee shop! Excellent coffee with decent prices and a very local flair. It was a great place to take a break and relax for a little bit. They have art for sale, small snacks, and great service.

I absolutely love everything about this place. The ambiance is so unique; I've never been to a coffee spot quite like this. The gentleman who made my drink was so kind! And the coffee is beyond words. It was so smooth and not bitter in the slightest. It didn't even upset my acid bath of a stomach!

Warm & dimly lit coffee shop with local art displayed on the walls. I feel like this cafe was once an old dive bar (?) based off of the graffiti-style bathroom ~ has a lot of personality
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
The most convenient spot is along the street outside the shop. It's prepay street parking. I'm unsure if there's somewhere you can park where there is validation.
II. SERVICE
Friendly staff
III. QUALITY
We just ordered a house coffee and it did the trick
IV. CAPACITY
Fair amount of available seats for a week day early-evening

Every time my girlfriend and I visit Asheville/Blue Ridge from Charlotte, we stop by here. Favorite coffee shop in the area by far! Both for the coffee and for the shop itself, which has a cozy/warm and moody environment, a very welcome contrast to the bright “cafeteria”-white minimalism that a lot of coffee shops go for these days.. Definitely give it a try!

Hole in the wall coffee place that can be hard to miss but hard to forget. Super chill vibes, lowkey atmosphere and nice lighting. Great for a first coffee date or catching up with an old friend. Love the setup with tables and decor. Freshly roasted coffee beans as well for sale.

Barista was super friendly and cool guy. La Marzocco espresso machine as well; you know they take their coffee seriously. Full bodied dark roast espresso was delicious; lots of heavy notes and deep flavor throughout. Also open fairly late (past 5 pm) for a coffee shop, which is a plus. If you need a quick evening coffee, this is the place to check out.

As a New Yorker, I was highly skeptical 🧐 of the bagels...but I am happy to report that they were legitimately delicious. You have the option to get plain, asiago, or everything. Toppings include a few flavored cream cheeses and garlic hummus. They had a soft inside and chewy exterior. They were a bit smaller than I am used to, but honestly, it was a great portion size. Coffee was good too. Dairy free milk available. Cool art on walls and lots of tables for sitting.

Pro tip: there is no entrance down chicken alley...

Thoroughly enjoyed my morning chatting with the Barista Rand and the owner Kristin. The latte was super strong too. :)

Me and my wife go here all the time. Always the best, and everyone’ working is always really kind and good at their job. Cold brew and bagels are a transcendent experience. Can’t recommend enough. 100/10

Very nice place! My boyfriend got a lovely caramel iced latte and I just got a coke. The worker on Sunday night, whose name I have forgot, was very wonderful to us and recommended us some places to check out!
