mother bakery & cafe | south slope
244 Short Coxe Ave #110, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“Tuck into the South Slope's best-kept bakery secret, where the exceptional bread and salmon toast are so generously portioned and carefully crafted that regulars rave about never going back to plain bagels. The warm, unhurried atmosphere and staff who make you feel genuinely at home make this the kind of place where a quick lunch break stretches into an lingering afternoon, and you'll absolutely want to grab a baguette to take home.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

This is such a great place! Cute atmosphere, excellent food, and great service! Great hidden gem in Asheville!!!! Go try it.
Amazing food, incredible space. All the food was exceptional. Shout out to Mo for making us feel at home! Genuinely one of the best bakeries in the city, grab all the bread if you go. Will definitely be making this a regular stop!

I've bought excellent baguettes to go here before, but hadn't sat down to eat until today. OMG! Salmon toast! I'll never have plain ol' lox and bagel again after eating this! Amazing. I'll let you read the menu for details. I'll be back ASAP.
