Counter Culture Coffee - Asheville

Coffee, tee, muffins, toast and some other drinks and baked goods. the personal is welcoming and helpful, they accept contactless payments (e.g. applepay) and the prices are quite reasonable. the personal is cautious with COVID masks, takeaway only (with a few outside stand tables and a bank only). love their baked things!

I drove around and around trying to find a parking place. I finally noticed little signs across the street that pointed me away from the coffee shop. I followed them to a muddy parking lot. There was no way I was parking there and walking 2 1/2 blocks in the rain and mud to get coffee.

As someone who drinks espresso strength coffee and lots of it, I swear shots used to be bigger several years ago, not the tiny drip you now get and have to order 6 of just to get a decent size cup of strong coffee. So when the guy at High Five said “all our shots are double shots” I knew I was in the right place! Excellent coffee, almost as good as I make at home. ;

Incredibly relaxing and calming. The coffee itself was phenomenal. It was clearly fresh ground and had a tasty medium roast flavor. The chai was bold and had that classic chai spice. Staff was incredible. Sitting next to the river was relaxing and calming.

We stopped Saturday, mid-morning and returned again Sunday morning for more. very good coffee, breakfast panini and a muffin were perfect. not too heavy, and priced right. you should check the menu online, wifi is available, take out or seating, no table service. no standing outside waiting +30 mins for a table.
