PennyCup at the YMI — Restaurant in Asheville

From the moment I walked in, this coffee shop felt like a warm hug in mug form. The atmosphere is cozy without feeling cramped, with just the right blend of background music and that comforting aroma of freshly ground beans. The staff are genuinely friendly—no fake smiles here—and they clearly care about making each drink perfect.

There were two baristas behind the counter and they were both super stand-offish, almost annoyed at my questions/requests (like what kind of alternative milk they had, to please clean the table where we were sitting for breakfast, to get a lid for my take away coffee...). Coffee was too strong, but not bad. However the energy from the people working there was so negative that I would never ever go there, nor would I recommend this place to anyone. There are so many other amazing coffee places...
