The Sweet Escape
27 Schenck Pkwy, Asheville, NC
Crema's Take
“This Asheville spot doubles as a quirky neighborhood hub where you can linger over traditional espresso drinks while grabbing a nostalgic stash of Dippin Dots or frozen yogurt on the side. The welcoming, laid-back vibe makes it genuinely laptop-friendly for those afternoon work sessions, though it's worth checking their seasonal hours before heading over. It's the kind of place that feels like a genuine community gathering spot rather than just another coffee shop, especially if you're looking for somewhere to slow down and connect with others.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Open late.

6/26/25. Guy checked me out was kind. I imagine he suffers from depression. He looks so tired and like he has run outta time. I wish he could not work so much to spend some time for him and family or to whatever he feels would be good for his mental health. Please be good to…
Text away and a great little plaza is a yogurt shop with lots of toppings. A little pricey. But overall happy.
