Daymoon Coffeebar Locals’ pick
A drive-thru with actually good coffee... Asheville basically never gives you both. Pull up, grab the cortado, keep moving.
Goan curries and goat-cheese naan from a family-run kitchen in the old Barrelhouse space near Beaver Lake, with a full craft-beer-and-cocktail bar. The vegetarian and vegan options aren't afterthoughts. North Asheville FINALLY has serious Indian, and it's worth the trip.
We keep this guidebook for our guests. It’s written and kept current by Asheville Good Times, our city guide next door — that’s where Saffron India Barrel House lives in full.

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.
Doughnuts fried to ORDER, so they hit warm and a little crackly at the edges. Small menu, done exactly right. Beat the line.
