OWL Bakery
197 Charlotte St, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“Nestled just outside downtown Asheville, OWL Bakery is a quiet refuge where exceptional house-made pastries—particularly their cardamom buns with their perfect balance of fluff and subtle sweetness—pair beautifully with carefully crafted drinks like lavender lattes and double-shot dirty chais. The space invites you to linger with a laptop or simply sit and savor, backed by ample parking and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere that keeps regulars coming back for both the baked goods and thoughtfully made beverages.”

Very nice and quite bakery. There is a parking lot, hits in case. I loved lavender latte. They sell bread and pastries. We dined in at around 1 pm and there wasn’t a big choice thought. Unfortunately got my chocolate croissant not warmed up :/ the rest is good. Thank you !
Cardamom buns are the best item to get here! They are soft, fluffy, yet also have a decent denseness. They are a mix between a croissant and a cinnamon roll, and the sweetness is very subtle. If you like bread, this will be your favorite bread item.
Old World Leavened- OWL Bakery is not just a place for good bread and pastries, they have an amazing selection of of beverages as well. We thoroughly enjoy the dirty chai’s, with a double shot. We always pick up a country loaf and what ever the daily bread special is. The staff are friendly and ready to help, even with a larger customer volume.
Very cute little bakery right outside of downtown where we stayed. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant. Both were delicious. I only wish I could have ordered a larger latte- the flavor was wonderful. The croissant was perfect also- the chocolate not overly sweet and the croissant crispy but not hard. Delicious place! I recommend.
My wife had the quiche, and said it was good. I had pain savory, it wasn’t bad, but I would not order it again. The coffee was good but not great. Next time we will stop and buy a loaf of the bread, it looks delicious.
