Butter Punk
372 Depot St, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“Butter Punk is where Asheville's coffee obsession meets serious breakfast ambition—their biscuits and mushroom gravy are the real deal, and the miso caramel lattes prove they're equally committed to the pour. The space feels intentionally eclectic and welcoming, designed for lingering with friends over a small but thoughtfully curated menu, though expect a weekend crowd and the charm of a self-serve, communal vibe that makes everyone feel like a regular.”

There was a line and a fair wait time to take your order. Sit wherever you can find space and you bus your own table. The mushroom gravy and biscuit was hearty and filling. Eclectic and fun decor.
BUTTER PUNK. Best biscuits in town. Top tier coffee. Hard to find a place that can do both so well. Small menu but not at all boring or basic. OG breakfast sammie. BBLT. Miso caramel latte. Cold Brew!?!? All Incredible and executed at the highest level. The employees are so friendly and seem to be really enjoying themselves. A true gem.
(Review based on a Saturday morning visit, between 8.50 and 9.50am) Pros: - Atmosphere: Cute cafe, well decorated and organised in a way that encourages mingling. - Food quality: Ordered a "breakfast sammie". Biscuit was delicious and the fluffy egg + sauce made a classic breakfast sandwhich stand up. - Cleanliness: Main service area and restrooms were noticeably well kept and clean. - Speed of service: From ordering, it took less than 15 minutes to receive the food. - Resources: Offers free menstruation products to patrons who need them. Cons: - Portion size-to-price relationship: Based only on the one item ordered, the portion size is significantly smaller than other comparable establishments (i.e. city bakery, BRBC) but priced at a higher point. - Sitting space: Contrary to other reviews, this space is not suitable for "all groups sizes". There are only two main tables that can accommodate parties larger than 3-4 people. Limited sitting space beyond this. - Menu availability: Menu options are reduced and the more popular drink items were not available.
AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!! The owner was very nice and so were all the employees. The decor was adorable. I ordered the biscuits in mushroom gravy with sausage and a fried egg, absolutely delicious. The Angeleno coffee was perfect. Would definitely come back whenever I’m in Asheville.
We had some friends visiting from out of town and wanted to impress them with one of our newest and favorite breakfast spots, and Butter Punk did not disappoint. The atmosphere is hip and colorful with a fun energy that hits you the second you walk in. The staff was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole place feels creative without trying too hard. We each ordered something different so everyone could try a little variety. Every single dish was delicious and full of flavor, and we kept passing plates around because we wished we could have ordered everyone else’s choice too. The menu is inventive without being fussy and everything tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. Our friends were blown away and immediately said they want to come back on their next visit. If you want a breakfast spot that feels local and lively with food you keep thinking about long after you leave, this is it. We’re truly thankful that we’re local and can visit whenever we want.
