Dripolator East Asheville — Restaurant in Asheville

WOW!! this is a HIDDEN GEM in Asheville! $13 for a sandwich and speciality drink. FREE PUBLIC PARKING AT THE ESTABLISHMENT ! Huge gracious space to sit at with outlets: you don’t feel crowded or in a tight space to get your work done/school work. You feel like you have your own private area I HIGHLY recommend giving this place a gander!! - crispy bagels ; full stomach!

The menu is phenomenal and they have NO fear experimenting with their drinks and coffees while having regular go to coffee drinks — I have not seen any of these specialities before- first time to ever want to try EVERY speciality drink on the menu. They have done a justice to think outside the box! My taste buds are happy!

Come and try their fall menu before it’s gone!! This has become my go-to coffee shop!!

what I ordered- sausage , egg, cheese with aloli and the Ronald Wesley ( one of their speciality drinks)

Thank you so much for taking the jump to creating Dripolator! I’m rooting for y’all!!

Much love, Kiya Kat 🌞🌈🌝

*next week - Turkey bagel with pear-fect...

I've been meaning to write a review for this place for WEEKS now, considering I go almost every other day and recommend it to everyone, but kept forgetting to. After having visited a few of the other Dripolator locations recently- I can safely say, I'm spoiled by the East AVL location! The atmosphere is incredible, and the space is beautifully decorated. I LOVE the seasonal specials, and always make a point to work my way through their little drink menu. And I can't forget the staff who are always so positive, even during the coffee rush hours throughout the day. Desiree who seems to be there the most is fantastic, and Chloe, Will, Josh, and Bronwyn, are so friendly always! This has easily become one of the favorite parts of my day, and I'm always impressed by how consistently GOOD the drinks are (which is usually my biggest caveat with cafes). With all the great coffee in Asheville, I still drive out of my way on my off days to come here and see these guys. Keep them in...

You've gotta love the not-so-subtle way a business makes it apparent you are not welcome in their establishment. I went to Dripolator today to enjoy a relaxing morning with my little one, and quickly realized that this is not a kid-friendly establishment. No high chairs, no changing tables. I would really like to know what I'm supposed to do with my child while I drink a hot beverage. Shall I hold them in my hands and potentially risk burning them with hot coffee? Should I put them on the concrete floor where they could be stepped on or come in contact with glass or other hazardous things? Or should I put them precariously on a piece of furniture and have them possibly roll off? All of those seem like a giant liability, but the owners of this establishment probably don't care because moms with kids are not their target market. Welcome to Asheville, where dogs are welcome but...
