WOW! Best pastries I’ve ever tried in the United States. All of which were fresh and had the perfect blend of flavors and correct texture. The Rose Almond Croissant was buttery, flaky and crunchy outside while being soft and sweet inside partly due to the almond paste. The Cardamon Bun was crunchy outside and soft inside with the perfect amount of Cardamon. The sweet Danish was sweet with a hint of acidity and the perfect dough texture. Did not take more than 5min to order and receive my food. The hot latte was creamy and perfect amount of coffee for me. I do advise you to go before 10:00am if you want to try all of their delicious pastries and quiche. Will absolutely come back again.

Outstanding pastries! If you’re a foodie like me you can certainly appreciate the obvious excellence in technical skill displayed in every morsel. Even my parents, who think Costo croissants are great, bit into their OWL croissants and immediately noted the multitude of crispy, flaky layers that were simultaneously tender in the middle. I love the Portuguese tarts—not too sweet but rich and creamy. I’ve gotten the everything danish a couple times, and it’s like a decadent everything bagel, it’s so unusual yet so delicious. I also love a good mocha or hot chocolate with my pastries, and they make good ones, nice and chocolatey. If you owe yourself an excellent pastry you need to hit OWL!

Stoked we were able to grab some pastries this morning before hitting the road! Arrive 10 minutes before they opened and was 6th in line. By the time we left there were probably 10 people in line behind us! They are operating a walk up window system and asking their guests to mask up! There was plenty of outdoor seating but we took ours to go! Service was quick and friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious and I even grabbed a tote! We had the following pastries: Morning Bun - absolutely must order Sweet Danish - strawberry was fantastic Ham & Cheese Croissant- Yummmmm Lemon Tart - BEAUTIFUL!!! Pastelito - perfect combo of guava paste and cream cheese We also snagged a piece of quiche which had spring onions and was super tasty as well! Definitely recommend visiting this bakery! My partner has a coffee with cream and their vanilla cardamom syrup which I’m assuming they make in house. We saw some of the bread going out, and regretted our decision to purchase bread before we left for our trip! Thank you Owl Bakery for making delicious food for your community to enjoy!

Joe was a beautiful man and fantastic host. The pastries are at a National level of excellence. The coffee was just as good. Ambiance was out side only with a walk up window, but it worked perfectly. Not sure about the parking, seemed tough but we were able to pull right up to the loading zone. 5 star cafe!!!

OWL was part of our morning routine during a long weekend in West Asheville. Staff was quick, the pastries were solid including sweet or savory danishes, croissants and buns. We're regulars at Evergreen bakery in Atlanta which is amazing. OWL is so close to being that perfect! Recommend the strudel for something a bit heavier.

A very cute bakery and amazing pastries!! My favorite was the maple cream danish. The spiced cider with dulce de leche exuded the feelings of fall. They ran out of morning buns right before we ordered, but there were still plenty of options.

Got some fresh warm porridge bread and a lemon tart! The bread was definitely the star. Loaded with flax (the first pic doesn't show it, but trust me) and sunflower seeds, it tasted very fluffy but hearty, and somehow buttery. I wish I lived closer because I can't go back to regular bread after this! Hands down one of the best bread I've ever tasted. The tart was very good too, and balanced.

A cozy cafe with some unique pastries and coffee/tea based drinks. Great place for a quick breakfast at an independent place!

Amazing bakery. Got the cream cheese maple apple danish and it was one of the best pastries I've ever enjoyed. Good espresso and the tip was included so that was nice to see they take care of their people. Comfy seating and street parking was easy to find right outside. Could not take a picture before most of the goods were enjoyed so I apologize, but that should be a testament to how great it was. Got two pastries and only meant to eat one and save another for later and ended up smacking both in a matter of ten minutes.

We come here at least a few times a month. They have the best pastries in town. Always some gluten-free options. Their croissants are luxurious, and the flat whites really hit the spot! I definitely recommend the barista coffee.

Great service and great bread!! Exciting that you can go inside now. I love that there's 2 locations also because it makes the lines shorter :) highly recommend the sesame loaf, almond rose croissant, and cardamom bun

Delicious pastries. Pricey at first glance but the quality justifies it. Seasonal pastry was like an uber version of an everything bagel. Like an everything croissant with fresh and pickled veg. So good. We also tried the chocolate croissant, but honestly the best part of it was the croissant itself so the next time we just got a plain one. Went with the family and we tried a bunch of things. Everything was excellent and very fresh. Perfect level of sweetness on everything, just enough to give it a pleasant taste. While I would visit for the bakery the coffee and lattes are good also and can match the quality of the pastries. Lots of patio seating out back as well.

The best baked goods ever!! I went there two days in a row because they have such delicious treats to offer. Highly recommend.

Bakery of my dreams 🤩. Sampled several pastries and all were top notch and delicious. Plenty of options to choose from which is fun. Latte was creamy and delicious. Will definitely come back when I can

Stop reading reviews and order from here. Flavorful, fresh, flaking, fabulous freaking bakery. Clearly a talented chef is working here. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The coffee and tea was amazing too. We brought home 4 baked goods and they were gone before we made it home.

Everything was super delicious. There was a great variety of pastries and beverages to meet any of your needs. We'll be back any time we're in Asheville.

It's a nice little bakery. Selection is limited, and it's not overly amazing. Service was fast. It's all through a window, on the side facing the reddish building is the walk up window to order. The side facing the road is for picking up coffee and such. Not sure if that was the case before COVID. The baked goods themselves seem like they're made in the morning and are fresh. I wish they had more fruit based pastries though. I was a little disappointed overall, just because I'd heard such amazing things about the taste, but it's a pretty standard small bakery. Note that I'm typically not a fan of savory baked goods, so I can't speak to that side of things. It's kind of pricey, but they use a lot of local ingredients and try to pay a decent wage, so it's for a good cause. I definitely recommend trying it out yourself because the actual quality is good but just don't go in expecting your mind to be blown.

Fantastic bakery. If you want to know what a true croissant tastes like, this place has it. Just.... Mwuah. Better get there early. I arrived at 8 when they open and by the time I left there was 15 people already in line. They go til they sell out of goods, which most of the time is before closing. I also bought two French bread rolls. I could eat them everyday.
