Tiger Bay Cafe — Restaurant in Asheville

I really enjoyed this place. It's an old converted house, I think. There are two businesses located inside. Tiger and Battle Cat Cafe, which is a coffee shop. What's great is that you order separate so you get your coffee much faster, drink it while waiting for you food in a variety of ambient places. There is the outside deck that has tables and a courtyard. There is the "living room" feel in the front entrance. And then the "dining room" feel that is just behind the living room. There is a fire place with exposed shelving so you can see through the room. The shelves are full of items for sale.

I've been looking for a breakfast burrito for quite awhile and yet, they allude me. Till I found Tiger that is. It's a small place that is busy so don't expect express service. The wait-time is very reasonable. The burrito was GREAT!I didn't expect it to be panini pressed, which was super appreciated.

You'll get a little buzzer. Go find something to do. State at the community bulletin board. When the buzzer goes off, collect your tasty bagged sando.

So tasty. Each element is beautifully seasoned and flavorful, the eggs aren't overcooked, the bacon isn't too crispy or too floppy - just the right thickness that it's got a nice bite. The bread is soft and toasted in all the...

The service is great and the atmosphere is fun with a good mix of WAVL clientele. The coffee is from Penny Cup which is a fav but they make the drinks a bit too sweet for our taste. The food was really, really good tasting but we were disappointed to see it all is served in to-go containers so we used a bunch of plastic and styrofoam for our breakfast. We didn’t see anywhere to recycle and ended up having to either throw it away or carry it home and recycle it there. I understand if they are limited in space to accommodate a dish area, but providing recycling containers would be a step in the...
