Kafe Neo Espresso Bar

I feel like we are very lucky in that anywhere we decide to randomly stop we somehow find the best, most magical spot and The Rise just inside the lobby of The Restoration Hotel did not disappoint! The floor to ceiling bookshelves, beautiful holiday decor, pristine and austere setting plus of course the perfetto baristi who made my daughter a custom hot chocolate and told us about the delicious local chai I ordered made our brief stop in Asheville absolutely PERFECT.

Needed some coffee early one morning and this was one of the only places open but I’m glad it was. The vanilla iced latte and hot chai were both very good! The atmosphere was very fun- the blue, the books and the yellow couches were so fun! This is in a hotel, for anyone wondering. We didn’t realize that at first and were unsure of where to find it. However, if you walk in- you’ll see it. Fun place, kind employee and delicious coffee

Fantastic Coffee and fantastic customer service. I sat in the hotel lobby and was not disturbed. The hotel sometimes has a rooftop observation deck you can work at, but they only open at 2PM and the days of operation are weird. I’d check online.

Came in 7am (nothing else opened yet) on Saturday, and I'm glad to find they open early. I just grabbed a cup of HOT coffee ☕️. The service was friendly, and to be honest, the coffee did its trick! ☕️✌🏻🫶🏻🖖🏻 Note: it is located in The Restoration Hotel. Go through the double doors, and cozy seating and books 📚 and kiosk is on your left. ☕️🥐

Oh, how lovely is this atmosphere!? While visiting out of state from Tennessee, we wanted to try several coffee shops in the area. This was my favorite spot! The worker was so sweet in talking us through the menu and providing some suggestions. I ordered a pumpkin and white mocha latte with almond milk along with a glazed donut. YUM! The perfect ratio of coffee, milk, and flavors. My donut was also delicious. I also was appreciative that they offered gluten free options for some pastries. The worker also told us to check out the 6th floor where we could sit overlooking the city. 😊
