“ We are from out of town, and this is hands down the best coffee establishment I have ever traveled to. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was inviting and calm. The entire place was clean as a whistle and I was able to do some much-needed work. The Honeycomb latte was to DIE for, the espresso was fresh, and the flavor was light and not too sweet. 10/10 would recommend and will visit again. This company DESERVES your business :) ”
“ This coffee shop truly has character! The mural was funky and fun and I enjoyed the numerous photographs on the wall. They roast their own beans and I believe you can buy bags of them around Asheville. I really enjoyed my coffee from naturally processed beans! ”
“ Sometimes I like to meet my real estate clients there because it’s spacious, tucked away from busy downtown but still in downtown, and of course- delicious coffee! This time my son and I went on a mama/son “date” and it was a perfect spot to get some good coffee in the afternoon. Dima got a tootsie roll but on a stick- pretty cool. ”
“ I work downtown and this is by far my favorite place to escape and grab a coffee , a quick break, or have a meeting. The coffee is great, the staff is kind, and the vibes are immaculate. ”
“ Rebecca here made me the BEST coffee I have had in Asheville!!! She has a knack for creating unique flavors on the fly as I asked for something different and she whipped me up a delicious drink off the dome ! Thanks again! :) ”
“ Rebecca doesn’t just make coffee.. she blesses cups with liquid joy. Her lattes are smoother than a jazz sax solo, and her energy could wake the dead (in a nice, caffeinated way). 10/10 would sip under her expertise again. ”
“ One of my absolute go-to coffee places in downtown. I love that it's open early and offers both coffee and quick grab and go breakfast options. You can never go wrong with a cup of coffee & bagel with cream cheese to start your day! ”
“ Super adorable, artsy shop! I loved how inclusive this coffee shop was and their encouragement/love towards other local shops and artists. While visiting out of state from Tennessee, we were planning on trying some coffee shops around the Asheville area. My experience at PennyCup was wonderful! I ordered a “spicy” mocha with cayenne & cinnamon latte. Although I don’t enjoy spice, I ordered this out of curiosity. It was delicious, but very spicy the more I drank it! This is a great pick for those who want a little kick to their drink. I’m just a wimp, ha! ”
