High Five Coffee

You’ll never regret trying their ‘Spicy Mocha’ and their location by the river! Best place to have your ‘me’ time and read a book. Try their seasonals in drinks.

Perfect spot for coffee on a weekend morning, or a nice place to hang out and get some work done if you’re a local. It’s a weird area, so we ended up parking at the Woodfin Park down the road and walking the short trail to the shop. Cool little location directly on the river in a small shed. Filled with merch and coffee making equipment, they cram it into this spot. All the offerings you come to expect from a coffee shop and more / large unique espresso drink menu as well as drip and tea offerings. They’ve got a few food options too but didn’t get any so can’t speak to that. Great original specials menu, we got a cinnamon latte and tried a golden milk. Everything we had was made well and not overly flavored. The real draw of this spot is the riverfront though, even if that’s not rare in Asheville. We spent a morning hanging out in some Adirondacks right on the water, and seating isn’t really lacking so you’ve got a pretty good chance of grabbing a good spot for a drink or two. Perfect coffee joint - we’ll be back.

Strange location, cute local dog. Good food! Had the veggie hummus sandwich and the blueberry cinnamon bar, both were great! Coffee was amazing, the cesspool of cinnamon was excellent, both iced and hot! Beautiful location on the water.

Great coffee, very nice staff. A cool setup to have seating outside along the river. Good selection of coffee and cold canned drinks.

We stopped here on the way out of town leaving Asheville and loved it!! Such a cute location and the coffee was delicious. Loved the house made syrups. Baristas were so nice!

My favorite coffee shop in town. Can’t speak to the food but the quiet spot on the river is great for chats and work and yoga and frisbee. Ideally come when wind is from the south or you will get a whiff of the sewage treatment plant.

If my real estate clients ask about the best coffee shop in the area, I always say High Five! My favorite is mocha shake- best of all worlds bc it’s iced, has chocolate and espresso! So good!

I really enjoyed it here! Outside seating only from what I could tell. There are tables and chairs along the river and spread out on the property, lots of shade thankfully. Delicious coffees and lattes, great customer service. They were fast and helpful even though it was busy. I will be here a lot in the fall when it’s cooler outside!

My favorite coffee shop I’ve been to! I was in the area for the day and I ended up getting the Storm. The service was amazing, as the people working there were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I loved sitting outside and looking at the river, and even ended up ordering a second coffee drink because it was just that good. I really hope to travel to Woodfin and visit again!

I went here while on a road trip and was so pleasantly surprised. It’s a gorgeous view of the river and delicious coffee. The staff is outstanding and helped me when I left my purse there. They went out of their way to return it, and I am so grateful for their kindness! I am looking forward to going back!

Found this gem a couple of years ago and make a point to come back when visiting. Love the coffee and the morning glory muffins are amazing!

Outstanding! I’ve been to coffee shops all over the West Coast, East Coast, and Hawai’i. High Five is easily top 3. Excellent coffee, pretty spot by the river, super nice baristas. Went there twice in one day.

Great little spot on the French Broad River with plenty of beautiful trees to sit under. Nice little selection of teas along with the usual coffee drinks

Beautiful place to visit with loved ones and watch the French Broad River drift by. Barista made me a custom drink --shot of espresso in their locally sourced Spicewalla golden milk. It was delicious.

Great little coffee shop tucked away in industrial park off Riverside Drive. Steady stream of customers and wonderful river views.

Awesome shop. Great coffee and great hot chocolate. Loved it!

Excellent coffee and wonderful way to enjoy drinking it by the river.

Tucked in an old mill area being revived, this coffee house was a nice surprise nestled beside a river with tables along the bank which was so relaxing. Great service with information I needed to make my perfect selection of some great tasting cappuccino. The atmosphere was perfect by the river and will definitely return and stay a while😍☕

Great beverages made with care in a unique setting. Grab a cup and contemplate life as you sit on the riverbank and watch the current flow by - endless, timeless...

Chill place. Great location on the river. Good coffee.
