PennyCup Coffee
857 Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“PennyCup Coffee is a neighborhood gem where the craft genuinely matters—regulars rave about Alex's lattes and signature drinks like "The Northside" (lavender, honey, and oat milk) that keep them coming back for years. The space strikes that perfect balance of being calm and welcoming enough for a solo work session or meaningful catch-up, with staff who stay cool and collected even when the line stretches out the door. Whether you're into espresso, pour overs, or their creative specialty drinks, there's a sense that every cup is made with real care and attention.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
