Tiger Bay Cafe

We were in Asheville for the weekend and love breakfast food. We don’t have a lot of places in Greensboro that have great breakfast and support vegans. If I could give it more than five stars I would! Customer service was pleasant and efficient. Cashier Recommended food and we did not regret it!! Highly recommended!

update - breakfast was so good, we came back for more the next day!

a quick search for a non-chain based bagel shop, we found this one.

personally it was a new bagel experience for me, and I couldn't be happier with this choice!

I ended up with the breakfast panini, wife got the breakfast bagel adding bacon. Both were exceptionally good! (we share food often)

Both orders were unique an their own, each had great complimenting flavors and the bacon was perfectly sweetened.

it's a good and bad thing this shop isn't near our home. we would go broke eating here too much🤪

Surprised at how good the PSL was here. The breakfast bagels were amazing too. Love the vibe of this coffee shop, plenty of personality and local art on the walls. Bonus points for having one of the coolest bathrooms

Tiger Bay Cafe catered a staff lunch during the YWCA's professional development week. They graciously worked with our many nutritional needs and accommodated everyone seamlessly. The chicken wraps were delicious and the cookies were a hit! This was exactly the meal we needed for a relaxing break before heading back into a day of learning.

Not the biggest fan of the atmosphere, but I can understand how a lot of people are. Service was fine. What can you really say about counter service? Unless they mess up your order, it's fine. Now, the highlight: probably the BEST BLT I've ever had. No, seriously. If you like BLTs this is THE spot. Don't bother with anywhere else.

Stopped in for a bagel sandwich. It was tasty, but it took about 25 minutes to get the sandwich and then wasn't particularly hot. I love the front porch at Battle Cat/Tiger Bay so the wait wasn't too bad. Lots of great people watching. It also was the Monday after New Year's Day, so I'm sure many other places might have been closed and they may have been busier than a normal Monday would have been. I'll definitely come back when it's not a holiday and I'm guessing it will be much more efficient!

Great place to support! Had an awesome lox bagel, super indulging with an egg on top. The cashier recommended a rice bowl for me to take home (I was on the go and couldn't really sit and take in the place, Battle Cat) and it slapped! I did manage to buy some art prints while I waited and looked around. The food took about 10 minutes, which on a Sunday is pretty quick. If I have more time in Asheville, I'm coming back!

Good coffee. Tasty food made pretty quickly so you can take it on the go, if need be. Otherwise there's some cute but fairly uncomfortable seating available outside. We'll definitely visit again but will probably sit next door at the picnic tables.

Love their breakfast bagel. I like to admire the art or take a little walk while my order is being prepared. My food has always been hot and super fresh when I receive it.

The service is great and the atmosphere is fun with a good mix of WAVL clientele. The coffee is from Penny Cup which is a fav but they make the drinks a bit too sweet for our taste. The food was really, really good tasting but we were disappointed to see it all is served in to-go containers so we used a bunch of plastic and styrofoam for our breakfast. We didn’t see anywhere to recycle and ended up having to either throw it away or carry it home and recycle it there. I understand if they are limited in space to accommodate a dish area, but providing recycling containers would be a step in the right direction.
