Moments Coffee Bar and Eatery
2304 US 70 Hwy, Swannanoa, NC
Crema's Take
“Moments Coffee Bar and Eatery is a beloved Swannanoa institution that feels like a multigenerational gathering place, where regulars return again and again for fresh-baked scones, inventive drinks like their cinnamon dulce coffee, and memorable breakfast sandwiches (that French Toast version is legendary). The cozy-but-surprisingly-spacious shop strikes that perfect balance of being welcoming enough for families and hospitable enough that staff genuinely want to help you discover something delicious, making it the kind of spot where customers daydream about returning the moment they leave.”

I cherish this place with my whole heart! I’ve brought my children here while they were growing up and I hope to bring my grandchildren someday. This place is special and holds space for every human being. Great food. Sincere service. Clean and relaxed. Go with the flow (it is Not strbx). 19 years in business and counting! So many wishes and dreams are fulfilled here in these “Moments Under The Sun”.
Fresh baked scones every morning! This gem of Western North Carolina never disappoints! The unique flavors always linger and live rent free in my memories until I am compelled to make another visit. I always feel comfortable to take my time and relax in the cozy and aesthetically magical café. You can really tell that a tremendous amount of thoughtful attention to detail has gone into this family owned and operated coffeehouse with too many features to list in a short review. So glad I stopped by the first time what seems like almost 20 years ago. Such friendly folks, both behind the counter, in line with me, and in the cafe hanging out. Everything's made from scratch, and there really is something for everyone. They sure don't make them like this anymore. Inspiring to see and experience the heart that goes into the art of creating memorable shared moments, and sometimes a short moment can really turn your morning around and carry you through the day. Thank you, Moments! In my best Austrian accent, "I'll be back!" 😊😊😊
This is a cute little shop with a nice little menu. We enjoyed our lattes and our breakfast sandwiches, however, the staff is not friendly at all. The young man was not unfriendly, just not engaging. The woman carrying around her baby that works here was very rude. Completely disgusting behavior. When my friend asked for a sleeve for a hot lattes, she shot back with “ I’m impressed that it’s hot through a double wall” excuse me?? This is Swannanoa. A small town, so step off your high horse girl
We found this after staying at a nearby Airbnb. The staff was very welcoming and shared suggestions on what we might enjoy. We ordered a cinnamon dulce coffee - it was delicious and well balanced in flavors. We also ordered a few scones - they are the best scones we have ever had. The butterscotch flavor was our favorite. Also had a bacon egg cheese croissant and it was incredible. 10/10 and we will definitely be back when we’re in the area.
French Toast breakfast sandwich. 'Nough said. (The photo doesn't do it justice.) This place has more seating than you might guess by seeing it from the street. It's such a comfortable space, either by the front windows or in an adjacent space that's away from the register and kitchen. Our whole milk lattes were delicious, breakfast was great, and the lemon lime bar I got as a surprise for my wife was a hit. Check out the photos. They display the myriad treats available, in addition to all the traditional cafe drinks. Thank you to the kitchen and young guy and girl on drinks. Y'all slay. Haha. Inside joke. See ya next time!
