OWL Bakery

Some of the best pastry I've had. Just charming shop and beautiful pastry made with care. Lively coffee be era es as well.

Wow!!!! These pastries are out of this world! My mom got a chocolate croissant and I got the vegan/ gf flapjack. Super rich flavors and textures. The staff was very helpful and welcoming.

Delicious fresh made pastries, what else can you ask for? The people are kind, there is usually a line but it moves fast and they don't run out of what you want unless you come midday. This is my favorite spot to pickup pastries for visitors and it is a sweet little Asheville staple. Keep it up fam!

While traveling the country during the pandemic, we’ve been to our fair share of bake shops, and OWL stands out among the many places we’ve tried. Not sure if it’s the back patio where we’ve enjoyed our treats warmed by the sun, or if it’s the charm of the small yet mighty operation, but this spot won’t be forgotten. Actually, it’s definitely the fact that everything here is just so good. (Don’t skip on the quiche!) Come early in the day before everything sells out!

We had a glorious ham and cheese croissant and the apple pastry. Incredible. Stay away from the squirrel bread. Even though it cost $12, we found it off putting as did the birds outside. Perhaps we didn’t eat it the correct way or maybe it’s for squirrels?? Not sure. The de Leche cappuccino tasted like tea. But I give the OWL a five because the pastry was so howling good.

My favorite pastries in asheville by FAR. Every danish is perfection. Their London fog is spectacular, and I also really enjoy their lattes. Lots of good options here, worth the wait and price.

We come here at least a few times a month. They have the best pastries in town. Good barista coffee too!

What a gem in Asheville! You will be greeted with the amazing aroma of butter from all the pastries and then challenged with needing to make a selection! The savoury roll was filled with cheesy veggie goodness and so satisfying as a breakfast. The golden milk tart was unique and slightly sweet, spiced beautifully. Definitely worth a visit (or several!)

I travel often and every place that I go I make a point to try their coffee and pastries. In fact, it would be fair for me to say that I judge the quality of a town based on their bakeries and cafes.

I’ve searched high and low to find a place that beats OWL’s excellence. Not only are their pastries and breads unequivocally the most delicious I’ve ever had, they take a lot of care with their coffee and hire well-seasoned baristas using only the finest ingredients - across the board.

I’m an Asheville local and I’ve been visiting OWL since they opened. I am beyond grateful for this absolute gem of a bakery to provide such sweet comforts to our community. Can’t forget to shout out to the staff! Everyone that works there serves from their heart. I deeply appreciate all of you.

Thank you OWL for all that you do! May you continue to prosper in this lil mountain town of ours. I will keep coming as long as you are still serving.

If I lived near this bakery I would come everyday. Two years ago we came here and had their cookie with local French Broad chocolate in it. I had been thinking about the cookie all this time and had to order it again.
When we came this time we had some of their bread and pastries. I love the idea of savoury desserts. We had the beet danish. It was striking and the combination with the filling was so unique and delicious.
This little cafe is always bustling with people and it is such a nice spot to have a beverage and a treat.
