Dripolator Candler

My friend brought me here for my first time . I fell in love with this place , the atmosphere was lovely . We were greeted by Xena Jaffe. She made myself a Cubano coffee that was excellent . I forget what my friend got, but, she enjoyed it . Xena presented us with our coffees and wow she is truly a Barista. Its all about the presentation and she nailed it 😁 Thank you Xena for making our experience wonderful .

First visit at this locally owned coffee shop. I ordered today’s special: Cherry Espresso Tonic. I had never had a tonic espresso before, and it was not exactly my style, but it was fun to try something this unique and different. The Buckeye Brownie I ordered was much more to my taste and lived up to its name beautifully. It was just like an old fashioned buckeye, made right, on top of a brownie. There is plenty of free parking. Two single stall restrooms. Patio seating as well as several choices of indoor seating. The coffee setup trey have enables them to make just about anything you could dream up. I will definitely be back!

We came here over the summer and liked it so much we made it a point to stop by on our way back home from the mountains! This place is what a good coffee shop should be! The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was excellent (bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel and a bacon and cheese croissant) and the drinks (vanilla wrapped, Cubano, and a caramelatte concoction) were AWESOME! I don't see how anyone could drink burnt-tasting chain coffee when they could have this awesomeness! I wish we had one in Holly Springs so I guess we'll have to visit this cool in the mountains! If you're in the area or even driving by on I-40, I HIGHLY recommend checking this hidden gem out. Oh, and they have a drive through (although youll miss the cool interior) for super convenience. Also, their merch is so cool! I want a Drip Beanie and I'm kicking myself for not getting one!! 10/10 super recommend!!!

Came here this morning with a large group from out of town. The staff was incredibly friendly and did a great job taking care of all our orders efficiently and accurately. We ordered a variety of drinks and food items, and across the board it was delicious! Everyone loved their breakfast sandwiches, coffees, and teas!

Often coffee shops focus on their espresso drinks and neglect their drip coffee, but both the espresso and the drip here were amazing. Additionally, the space is awesome. Very comfortable and clean… the perfect place to linger, get work done, or chat with friends.

Thank you so much for such a lovely experience! I definitely recommend Dripolator to anyone who is in the area!

Very nice place with super friendly staff, great coffee and comfortable seating. Their holiday drinks are amazing 🤩

We had a business meeting with our partner and it was a perfect spot for it. Had a cup of tea with bagel and then a mango tango smoothie- yumm! I love the vibe they’re creating in there. The interior decor is nice- mid century modern (i guess?)- anyway, it feels cozy and fresh/modern at the same time. Candler’s best!

Great coffee, great service! Super busy on a Friday afternoon - good for them! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a hot drink or a place to sit.

The best coffee and mocha in town! They have a lot of pastries and great sandwiches. Definitely recommend! The staffs are friendly and the place has a good vibe! A must place to visit if you’re in town

The BEST coffee that I have found around by far. The drip coffee is actually fresh and you can taste the natural fruitiness of the brew. So glad we found this place!

We live in WV but travel down this way often. We fell in love with the OG Dripolator when we first discovered it in 2019. We finally visited this location today. The spot is well decorated and so cozy. The outside seating is cute and comfy. Our iced cubano and iced killer bee were delicious.

Wow...what can I say! Just another phenomenal Asheville hangout! The coffee? Amazing! The staff had the best music playing that I've heard in quite some time! The vibe? A chill, fun party! Don't miss this local gem!

I absolutely love this coffee shop. The staff and atmosphere are both wonderful. I moved out of Enka to Downtown Asheville, which is of course full of great cafes. Yet, I still find myself making the drive west, to work in this warm and inviting atmosphere.

Plenty of seating inside and out.

Very nice and cozy coffee shop. So many different seating options. The coffee was very good. One free refill is a great feature. The bathroom was very clean. This is a good indication that the kitchen is clean too. We will be back.

This is easily the best coffee shop in town. They take care of their staff, the coffee is rich and full of flavor, and the atmosphere is perfect. The baristas always seem happy to be working there and are always an absolute delight to talk to.
Special shout out to Liv, Luca and Asher, but really everyone here is incredible.

The staff here know what they’re doing - not only is the coffee outstanding, the breakfast and bakery options also rock. Gonna be my go to stop in Candler for a quick caffeine pick up - it’s so nice to have a local coffee spot with a drive thru!

I didn't take any pics because we were so hungry we devoured everything moments after we got our food, but this place was incredible in every way! Great parking (rare in the Asheville area), incredibly kind and informative staff, comfy and cute environment, delicious coffee and food, an overall a great experience and we will definitely be back. My bf tried butter coffee for the first time and he said it was easier on his acid reflux than your typical cup of coffee. I had the iced coffee with vanilla sweet cream and was absolutely in love. He got the bacon egg and cheese bagel and I got the egg and cheese, they have a house sauce they put on it that is SOOO GOOD. Great prices too. We'll definitely be back!

This place has the best coffee! I got the vanilla bean frappe and my hubs got the Cubano. Delicious! Cute atmosphere to sit down and talk as well.

Had a quick bagel breakfast and latte on a quiet Sunday morning. The food, service, and ambiance was great.

The drip coffee was delicious. The Bagel sandwich hit the spot, and the signature suacd that came on it was so good.

We’ve been visiting almost daily since they first opened. The staff and owners are delights, always smiling and happy, and treat each other with respect. They’re endlessly friendly with customers, and treat children with respect and a smile also. The coffee is the best in town, without a doubt!! Always fresh, always barista-made, and it’s clear that the food is created with love. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. We’ll continue to be here as often as we can. Love the Drip!!!
