High Five Coffee

Perfect spot for coffee on a weekend morning, or a nice place to hang out and get some work done if you’re a local. It’s a weird area, so we ended up parking at the Woodfin Park down the road and walking the short trail to the shop. Cool little location directly on the river in a small shed. Filled with merch and coffee making equipment, they cram it into this spot. All the offerings you come to expect from a coffee shop and more / large unique espresso drink menu as well as drip and tea offerings. They’ve got a few food options too but didn’t get any so can’t speak to that. Great original specials menu, we got a cinnamon latte and tried a golden milk. Everything we had was made well and not overly flavored. The real draw of this spot is the riverfront though, even if that’s not rare in Asheville. We spent a morning hanging out in some Adirondacks right on the water, and seating isn’t really lacking so you’ve got a pretty good chance of grabbing a good spot for a drink or two. Perfect coffee joint - we’ll be back.

If my real estate clients ask about the best coffee shop in the area, I always say High Five! My favorite is mocha shake- best of all worlds bc it’s iced, has chocolate and espresso! So good!

Beautiful place to visit with loved ones and watch the French Broad River drift by. Barista made me a custom drink --shot of espresso in their locally sourced Spicewalla golden milk. It was delicious.

Chill place. Great location on the river. Good coffee.

Cool coffee spot right by the river. Great snacks/pastries, along with High Five's legendary coffee options - try the Barista's Choice!

Yummy espresso drinks, excellent service and amazing location, right by the river! This is definitely one amazing coffee place; deserves way more than 5 stars😊

Fantastic coffee. Give yourself time when going here. They only have one person behind the counter doing everything. Great spot to meet a friend and sit by the river.

Good coffee with a view! It’s just so beautiful to seat by the river. We’ll always go back!

Outstanding! I’ve been to coffee shops all over the West Coast, East Coast, and Hawai’i. High Five is easily top 3. Excellent coffee, pretty spot by the river, super nice baristas. Went there twice in one day.

Love the river location! Good coffee and good food choices.
