I came here on a brunch date the other day for the first time and this place did not disappoint! The staff was very nice and the food came out in a timely manner. I ordered the caprese and the golden milk latte with oatmilk which were SO fresh and SO delicious πŸ€€πŸ’• The outdoor seating was super cute as well and I am so glad the weather was good enough for it. If you ever are close by, I highly suggest you stop for a bite!

For the first time in a long time, we tried a new restaurant that actually blew my socks off. We watched the staff roll and cut the dough used to make our sandwich bread (which may be the most heavenly bread we’ve ever eaten). The food came out quickly, and it tasted absolutely perfect β€” Plenty of flavour, and not too heavy. To top it all off, we enjoyed our scrumptious meal in the beautifully historic Grove Arcade. I’d give this place 6 stars if I could! We will for sure be back!

The beignets! So good and clearly made with love. This place is a jewel. The churro beignets are the best on the menu.Outside of that, the customer service and coffee drinks are top notch as well. Try the El Coyote or French Lavender lattes.Stopped here three times on our familys short trip to Asheville.

The staff was wonderful and helpful with suggestions. We ordered the classic and the basic sandwich. They taste amazing. I also love the popsicle stick utensils they offer, I think that is fantastic.

Who would have thought beignets are better in Asheville than New Orleans. Ive been to CafΓ© Du Monde and honestly Bebettes beignets outshine even the best. They were so perfectly prepared and delicious.Each bite was fluffy and delicious and the idea of dipping sauces made a powdered sugar pastry unique. The chocolate sauce was on point.Personally I recommend the squares, theyll tell you the fingers, but the squares are so perfectly crispy and soft. Also the sandwiches are on point. I would have never thought to use a beignet as bread, but it works!

The Classic Beignet sandwich and a latte. The coffee was excellent. The sandwich was a welcome change. Whatever the sauce in the sandwich was it was spicy and refreshing. This was served with a small portion of fruit. This was a great light lunch. First visit here but not my last. A fun find while looking for something just a little better and different

Excellent coffee, absolutely amazing beignets, & quick service by very sweet and friendly staff! We were in the mood for some good coffee and a snack on a day out in Asheville, and we were very fortunate to find this coffeehouse gem. Ive never had better beignets, and their chocolate sauce was divine. The welcoming energy of everyone behind the counter truly brightened our day! Would HIGHLY recommend, just wish there was one of these back home in Wisconsin! πŸ’•

Review β„–16

If there is a line for this place, just wait. You owe it to yourself. The beignets sandwiches are other worldly, and even the simplest of coffee drinks are carefully crafted. Im completely ruined on breakfast sandwiches now. Do some self care and hit this place up for breakfast, place your order and then grab a table and relax. The roller coaster of sweet and savory will be starting soon, my friend. Buckle up.

Cute little spot . The staff is very friendly ! I was excited to come here being a Nola native . The coffee was just okay to me.I didn’t have any beignets but they smell nom! Also, no wifi if you’re looking for a place to do some laptop work.

No black breakfast tea, closest was Earl grey. The scrambled eggs were good but it came on a powered sugar beignet. Weird.

Bebettes is our absolute favorite breakfast place is Asheville! We discovered it last year and could not wait to return this year and we did just that this week! These are the best beignets, they may even be better than the ones I had years ago in New Orleans. The cafΓ© au lait was perfection and delicious. The staff here is always friendly, we just love this place and cant wait for our next trip to visit Babettes again!

Passing Through Asheville, looked for a place of charm, and great food. Charm was there, service was great, but beignet sandwich not done well! I had the Country Beignet sandwich. Beignets were raw inside! Golden on the outside, but absolutely raw dough inside each bite, which I could not continue. Too bad…

Honestly, Bebettes was the best part of my trip to Asheville. Friendly staff, delicious beignets and dipping sauce (I had the chocolate), PLENTY to share. I decided to make the most of my day off and traveled to Asheville to paddle the French Broad, afterward I stopped at Bebettes. Normally, Im not this picky, but I asked if I could try their cold brew before I made my coffee order and the staff were very accommodating. I ordered a bag of beignets and a cold brew coffee and took it to a corner of the shop to enjoy. I was having a rough weekend and the kindness of the staff and heavenly taste of the beignets and chocolate sauce made everything just a bit better. They even offered me more chocolate sauce if I started to run low (which I happily accepted). The shop was not busy at the time, for which I was grateful. Apparently, it can get quite busy. There were MORE than enough beignets in one order for two people, so I really think you get your moneys worth. I will say that Ive had better cold brew, though, but it was worth getting a black coffee to offset the sweetness of the pastries.

Very nice place and staff was extremely friendly! If you are looking for beignets that taste like Cafe Du Monde, unfortunately the beignets from here are not it. Not to mention the price for the beignets and special coffees is unreasonable.

Review β„–51

We were looking for a nice coffee shop / breakfast spot in Asheville and came across this place. You can seat inside or outside and they have very friendly folks working at the counter.It definitely didn’t look like anything else and not a typical coffee shop. Their menu had many interesting items like Goat of Monte Cristo or lavender beignets. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and the only downside was the actual wait time to order food.Overall, not expensive and worth visiting. Hopefully the coffeehouse operation can be improved to cut down wait times.

Review β„–54

This is a super cute place with a great concept and adorable people working there, but it’s very disorganized, leading to unnecessarily long waits. For such a tiny kitchen space, it looks and feels random and a little chaotic. As somebody who worked in the restaurant business, I really want them to succeed, because they are great… There’s a lot of heart here and great food. A few observations and suggestions for the workers, take what you like and ignore the rest:Noticed that the main cook, who appears to be a skilled short order cook, was frequently rotating out and doing things like restocking water, and delivering orders to people, while there was a line out the door. I would suggest having this person just stay at the fryer and griddle doing their job, to keep things moving. Also, because they were switching jobs, they were spending a lot of time taking gloves off and putting gloves on.Noticed that the two people handling food were wearing gloves, but the person making coffee did not, and she was putting her fingers inside the cups when writing names and had just touched her hair. Just be mindful. Frankly I wasn’t that concerned, but probably some people will be horrified.The beignets are very large, delicious, but heavy and seemed slightly undercooked. Two beignets for a sandwich is a lot. I noticed other diners not eating all of their beignet, and we couldn’t either. How about if you just had one beignet, fried it to crispness, and then cut it in half for the sandwiches? I think it would be a better balance of bread to filling, you wouldn’t have to waste so much dough, less waste by diners and things would move more quickly because cooking would be cut in half. Better margin, too.Its ok as is, but just looks uncomfortable and takes too long when busy. Keep working on this - I’m rooting for you.

The hot chocolate had cinnamon in it and it was the best hot chocolate I have ever had and j recommend it for everybody who passed they had so many options and the people were so nice. The beignet were so good, they were almost like a donut and I would get this everytime for breakfast if I lived here thanks for the great service I hope I can come her again.

Single sip of cafe au lait and is so hot that it scalded my mouth. Hotter than a fresh espresso, like some overheated McDonald’s coffee to go. In a city of amazing food with a scalded taste buds. Great. Beignets too thick, like a piece of bread.

Great find as we were checking out Grove Arcade! I grew up just outside of NOLA and I havent had an authentic beignet in a very long time. It is made to order so it is hot when you get it. It was awesome! Thank you. And the coffee with chicory was also very tasty.

My husband and I shared the Goat of Monte Cristo and the Country beignet sandwiches and both were really good but the Goat of Monte Cristo was stellar!

Enjoyed a spicy latte with original beignets and beignet fingers with chocolate sauce. Everything was amazing and employees were friendly. Did take a few minutes since they are made to order and they had us wait in grove arcade where there are bistro tables and benches and they brought everything to us so it wasn’t COVID scary and we didn’t have to wait in the cold. Will definitely return.

Terrible staff that ignored customers. After waiting in line for 15 minutes the β€œManager” skipped the people in front of us to tell us we needed to wait outside. Wasn’t a problem while they ignored us and wouldn’t even take our order. Sara should be call Mis-management cause I have never experienced worse customer service. Food seemed good to bad they wouldn’t serve it. Just go to Hemingway’s, you won’t be disappointed.

Review β„–77

There needs to be an option for ZERO stars. The staff was incredibly rude. They mixed up our orders, gave us the wrong food, then wanted to argue that they hadn’t. When they finally realized that they had in fact messed up our order, the wait staff got very frustrated as if we were completely inconveniencing them that we were asking them to remake the order. By the time they finally got the order out, it took them so long, everyone in our party had finished eating. There are so many other better brunch places in Asheville, it’s just not worth it.

This is my favorite spot for coffee and beignets in Asheville. My daughter and I try to stop in once or twice each week as we walk around downtown.

Waited 30 minutes for a coffee order, and had our latte/cortado orders substituted with cafe au laits after we paid since they were β€œthe same thing” (a cortado is waaaaay smaller).
