Daymoon Coffeebar Locals’ pick
A drive-thru with actually good coffee... Asheville basically never gives you both. Pull up, grab the cortado, keep moving.

Chai Pani
Locals’ pickIndian street food that put Asheville on the national map. First visit, order the bhel puri and the sloppy jai. The room is loud and happy in the best way, and this is the flagship that started the whole family of restaurants.

Neng Jr.'s Locals’ pick
Book early or plan on missing it. Hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd.
Hole Doughnuts
Doughnuts fried to ORDER, so they hit warm and a little crackly at the edges. Small menu, done exactly right. Beat the line.
