City Bakery — Restaurant in Asheville

One extra star because the chai latte and the mocha we ordered were delish. Such a low rating last time i went because of one of the counter people that took my order. About 4-5 weeks ago. He was RUDE. He was condescending. He said something and i didn't hear him, i asked him to say it again. He did, yelling at me instead if speaking. After that, he acted as though he didn't understand a word i said. Yet the woman standing next to him behind the counter heard me perfectly. What a nut case. Young guy, short, glasses, dark hair.

Whether you’re seeking bread, a breakfast bite, or caffeination to keep you going, City Bakery is a...

The biscuit is soft but holds together well for eating the yummy biscuit without it completely falling apart. The iced chai charger with oatmilk was so tasty, and they were even able to make it a bit less sweet for me, which I really appreciate. I also got a bear claw (with almond paste) and scone for the road--the white chocolate and craisin scone was my favorite of the two--and bagels and sourdough for later. The bagels were a bit fluffier than I prefer, but the sourdough was especially excellent, and they even sliced it for me. I will definitely be visiting this bakery again when...
