HOLE - Hot Doughnuts and Fresh Coffee
168 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“This stripped-down doughnut counter lets you watch bakers hand-shape and season each of just four rotating varieties, creating that rare magic where simplicity and craftsmanship become the whole appeal. The doughnuts themselves are uncommonly balanced—bold but not cloying, with a delicate interior and subtle crisp exterior—and they pair beautifully with thoughtfully made coffee in a genuinely unpretentious space that somehow feels cooler for refusing to overcomplicate things.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
