Izzy's Coffee Den

i work around the corner so i come in all the time. i’ve seen poor reviews on one barista, but luckily whenever i’ve come in my drinks have always been great. i love their matcha, seasonal lattes, chai. also the bagel w/ jalapeño cream cheese ✨✨

Izzy’s downtown Asheville is cozy and we love to come here with our golden retriever Milo. The barista Delilah is amazing, not only she makes the best mochas we’ve ever had, but she’s polite, friendly, and always gives our dog a treat. So why am I leaving 3 Star review? Because sadly the other barista who we don’t know the name (always wears a mask, shoulder length hair, cap and glasses) is the very opposite of that. Insists on serving us on to go cups — even though we come to enjoy coffee and sit — terrible customer service and served me a watery cortado that I had to transfer to the glass I had to insist on getting. It’s sad we can get such a great experience at times and such a bad ones other times. Consistency is what makes a business get regulars and great reviews.

Some may say this spot is "hipster" or try and place a label on it but I'll say labels aside this place dishes out some good coffee with a really fun and funky atmosphere that my wife and I both really digged. I judge coffee shops based on their Cortado and let me tell you this spot did not disappoint! This is definitely one of the better coffee spots in Asheville.

We tried the blueberry lemon scone, chocolate chip Caramel cookies, and a Karma coffee. Everything's amazing! The service, the art, Thank you so much!

Excellent little coffee shop! Look at their specials chalkboard at the front. Mellow and low key on a Wednesday afternoon. Matcha special was phenomenal.
