The West End Bakery

The croissant was one of the best I’ve had since Europe. It was super buttery and flakey. It was easy accessible with the paid parking lot next door. The food is what you would find with a typical bakery but the service was friendly and very fast. The only recommendation would be to have gluten free bread as an option.

Staff was really sweet and I did have a great sandwich. But I really miss the old bakery with cinnamon rolls! Sad to see the bakery menu now so small.

I always felt like this cafe IS the heart of West Asheville. This is a perfect place to read and study as it is spacious and chill. The pleasant music isn't too loud and the atmosphere is welcoming for all ages. Staff is smiley :) The community boards are located in the hallway and filled with local happenings. My favorite thing to eat there is the veggie sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit. I mean, it is delicious! The coffee and bread are always fresh. Great place for those who have a sweet tooth too!

Absolutely perfect place to go for a relaxing healthy meal with friends. The music is great and soft enough so a conversation can be had. Staff are exceptional and friendly.
Kitchen is clean.
I had tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese deluxe which was really yummy. 💟

Tasty coffee shop with pastries, bakery goods and sandwiches. We had 2 sandwiches, a muffin and coffee. All was very fresh and tasted good. The sandwiches had fresh toppings (tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, sprouts and so forth). It was definitely fresh produce and not your usual iceberg lettuce. The portions were large. I had a lemon poppyseed muffin and it was moist and tasted freshly baked. I hate when you get a muffin and it's dry and crumbly with no flavor. This was not the case. I'm a picky eater and I would say this is a 4 star restaurant if you are looking for breakfast, lunch or a snack. Would definitely recommend.

First time I had a BLT without the L. They was out of the B so they put sausage. Was delicious. Mask required. They will serve you milk but not on menu.

I like some of the baked items here and feel it is a deal with the coffee. There are always several varieties at a reasonable price and decent condiments. You can refill your own cup, try or mix different ones. They will often do what they can to accommodate you if you need something else. The seating does get filled up sometimes, but this venue has a good open feel to it. The order line tends to move slowly during the busy times of the day so best to not be in a hurry (which I am not). They also close somewhat early, so better for a daytime or morning agenda.

Made a special trip to try a cinnamon roll. It was warm, but almost under cooked and too sweet. Only could taste the sugar and nothing else. Not a well balanced pastry. Very popular and hard to find parking.

DELICIOUS biscuit and sausage gravy! Ample seating spaced out so you aren't in your neighbors lap. Did not have to wait an hour. Why go to that 'other' place when everything you need is here? Have visited Asheville several times now and wish I had found this earlier instead of wasting my time in line and overpaying elsewhere. Nice staff as well.

Best GF muffin I have ever had!
