Sunny point has a beautiful garden behind their restaurant where they grow vegetables and herbs for their unique and delicious meals! We reccommend going there for breakfast or brunch. Get there early to avoid long lines or enjoy a cup of coffee while you wait :) It's also only a little over a mile away from our house!

This coffee shop will offer you a heavy dose of Asheville culture with the walls covered in local art, grungy Asheville hipsters swarming the place, and delicious coffee brewing from another local coffee spot, PennyCup.

Holy guacamole! This is hands down the best Mexican food we have tried in town. It's the perfect balance between authentic and California style. Go for taco Tuesday or Burrito EVERYDAY!

This is an EPIC food truck that hops around Asheville. You can check their Facebook page to find exactly where they're located on any given night. They serve an interesting Mexican/Korean fusion and it is incredible! Perfect for people like us who often struggle to choose between Mexican and Asian cuisine.

Drinks & Nightlife

Ok, so we're a litttleee bias about this fancy little cocktail bar because one of our close friends owns the place but WOW! It's SO fun to order from their eclectic and extensive menu and they are quickly becoming a popular new bar in town! Certainly worth checking out if you're into trying new and thoughtful mixed drinks! Not to mention, they're walking distance from downtown :)

This brewery is owned by a couple friends of ours, the Hillman Brothers. We helped them with the landscaping and have since really enjoyed going their for a fresh brew and locally made salads and sandwiches from their partner in crime in the building, Rise Above Deli! This brewery offers a really cool, open air environment along with a happy, family vibe! Especially great for lunch!

If you love tequila like we do... GO HERE! They offer some of the best margaritas we've ever tasted and serve flights of tequila! Their tequila menu fills an entire page! We personally don't love the food and it's often a long wait for a table so we suggest going for drinks at the bar and somewhere else downtown for food :)

The Wedge is a super cool spot to snag a beer in the River Arts District. It's mostly an outdoor space, so best to visit in the warmer months. They often have live music playing and a food truck on site!
