The cocoa donut was the best I've ever had. They make donuts right before you, and serve 'em fresh. What's not to love?
Every donut we had was delicious! Fresh made right in front of you too. The staff were friendly and we loved their energy.
The vortex signature doughnut with cinnamon sugar and dark chocolate is my favorite.
Top notch doughnuts and espresso coffees. A total indulgence but so very worth it!
Caramel glaze with bacon. By far one of the best bacon doughnuts I've had. The glaze was perfect and the flavors were nicely balanced.
Awesome daily specials. My favorites are the $2.50 mochas on Thursday and the 2 for 1 eclairs on Wednesday.
Great coffee and every pastry looks worthy of five stars.
Friendly atmosphere, great pastries, and of course fantastic coffee. The intimacy of its small interior is a plus. Skip the bigger venues nearby and see if the window seat is available.
Gotta try their beignet. Pour over coffee is really good.
The croissants! Are perfect. Thanks for this place, at last a non-hippie bakery that gets baking right!
Fresh homemade French-style pastries and serves the best drip coffee in AVL. All made in house with special care and local ingredients. The staff is kind and informative. Elaine is a gem!
Gluten free options, great breakfast menu, and a beautiful patio where pups are welcome. Their eclairs are serious business!
Seating eclairs. Breakfast burrito
Locally roasted coffee. Pastries made from scratch. Decent patio for people watching.
Ham and cheese croissant soooo gooood!
Get the spinach and feta croissant. You won't be sorry!
Great selection of bakery items like savory croissants, which is what I was looking for. I haven’t tried the cafe.
Don't miss the Creole Crab Burger and the beignets.
The beignets alone are worth the trip.
Beignets are HUGE and so delicious. Had them as an appetizer which was great. Only had them as dessert before.
Yummy! Toasted coconut donuts!
Tried getting donuts 3 separate times at this location and they were out of donuts all 3 times lol... incredible since that's supposed to be what they are there for!
Love the caramel mocha and bavarian cream donuts
Coffee + amazing savory croissants
Simply some of the best tasting coffee in Asheville. Perfect morning starter for locals and visitors. Excellent background music. Great muffins. Exceptionally clean.
Get here before 8 to get a pastry. They sell out of most things except bagels.
Cheddar cracked-pepper scones and a double americano make the best breakfast!
I just got a muffin made with local wheat... That's crazy
Sausage egg and cheese sandwich on a biscuit. Stuffed French toast is great.
Get a beignet. Seriously. Do it.
Greek coffee and pastry shop great for meetings, as they have wifi. Beautiful, open space and yummy assortment of teas.
Aztec Hot Chocolate... ftmfw
Look for the red lit neon sign for FRESH and HOT doughnuts!
You just can't beat Hot and Fresh.
What's not to love?!
Try the pumpkin eclair.
The Florentine scone is delicious!
Green Mate latte with rice milk is great.
Fresh baked croissants are fantastic! Also, the barista will steam the milk for your drink at whatever temp that you want!
Amazing pastries, great espresso drinks and the waitstaff is always friendly. Highly recommended.
Buy the stainless mug. You'll save a lot of money on coffee refills.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
