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

The Pure and Proper
Locals’ pickNew American cooking in a creatively remodeled 1940s Pure gas station on State Street. The menu turns over every quarter, pork belly waffle sandwiches at lunch, venison stew and roasted swordfish at dinner. Works for a relaxed lunch or a proper dinner with cocktails.

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.
