Flour — Restaurant in Asheville

The PERFECT start to my week. Yep, I’m here seven days a week for coffee and the occasional bacon egg and cheese biscuit, and a pistachio cookie…...(ok three cookies). Today was no different than the other days of the week. The drip coffee (personal favorite) is (to me) a perfect blend of a medium-dark full bodied blend that sets the tone for my day.

Usually I will add a tablespoon or 1/2 tablespoon for sugar in the raw, and wait until I’m seated at my desk. Then I close my eyes and take the first sip……and smile at the consistency, the taste, the and how privileged to be able to support a local small business owner(s). Depending on how much I hate my job that day, I’ll come back for another cup of cookie, and if I’m lucky a pistachio cookie.

I will have a bacon egg and cheese biscuit normally on Sundays as I typically skip traditional breakfast during the week in favor of a homemade shake. The biscuit today and always is buttery, crunchy, and intimidating (in a good way). I never bother to eat it all in one sitting. I always cut it in half and wrap the other half to be reheated (in the oven about 350° for 7-10 minutes).

THE OWNERS: Enough about the great coffee, biscuits, and cookies😊😊. I’ve often asked myself why do I always return to Flour. It’s more than the food, it’s the people. The owners are just as consistent as the drinks and food they prepare daily. I’m not just a transaction. I’m appreciated, I feel the love, and I hope and pray years of success for my “brothers from another.” Finally, there is a stamp card to accumulate for free cookie, but love this place so much I feel guilty about redeeming them so I normally just keep them in...

I walked in kind of timidly. The line was wrapped around the corner inside. I wondered- is this going to be worth it? It’s just a food hall stall. I was really craving a coffee, and I’m really particular about it, will it even be good?

We waited about 30 mins in a line that started to round around the back wall. There’s only two guys to take orders, make drinks and assemble sandwiches. The person before us got the last chocolate pistachio cookie and the sign was removed. We were devastated!! But, we were feeling lucky so we asked the cashier and the sandwich assembling guy pulled out a fresh tray!! They were heavenly.

I love iced lattes. Theirs comes in 16oz with two shots. Available in vanilla, brown sugar + cinnamon, and mocha. All housemade. I tried the mocha and brown sugar + cinnamon. Both delicious. I’d probably order half sweet next time but it isn’t sickeningly sweet and you can taste the coffee. The mocha has a slight bitterness that I love in mochas.

Now, what I really came for. When looking for breakfast on maps, the biscuits immediately caught my eye. Perfectly golden brown, thick and piled high with egg, bacon and cheese. It came out looking just like the pictures and still exceeded my expectations. Made to order, it came out hot, fresh, in a generous portion that could easily be spilt by two with small appetites.

Flour is definitely worth the hype. It’s worth the wait in line. The coffee is amazing, the biscuits are heavenly, the cookies are addicting. I’m coming back each time...

Flour in Asheville is an absolute gem! I’ve had the pleasure of visiting twice, and each time has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with the warmest hospitality from the two brothers and their partner who own and run this charming spot. Their genuine passion for what they do shines through in every aspect of the experience.

Let's talk about the food—it's simply incredible. The focaccia is a revelation; it's perfectly baked with a delightful texture and flavor that's hard to find elsewhere. The chicken salad sandwich is, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had in my life. It’s packed with fresh ingredients and flavors that are perfectly balanced. I also indulged in the sour cream peach crumble cake, which was a heavenly mix of sweet and tangy with a crunchy topping—pure bliss in every bite. And don’t even get me started on the chocolate chunk pistachio brittle cookies; they are a must-try and a sweet treat you won’t want to miss.

To top it all off, their iced brown sugar latte is a refreshing delight, beautifully crafted and a perfect complement to any of their baked goods.

The combination of incredible food, outstanding service, and the welcoming atmosphere makes Flour an absolute standout. I can’t wait for my next visit—this place is truly a treasure...
