Izzy's Coffee Den

I absolutely love everything about this place. The ambiance is so unique; I've never been to a coffee spot quite like this. The gentleman who made my drink was so kind! And the coffee is beyond words. It was so smooth and not bitter in the slightest. It didn't even upset my acid bath of a stomach!

Hole in the wall coffee place that can be hard to miss but hard to forget. Super chill vibes, lowkey atmosphere and nice lighting. Great for a first coffee date or catching up with an old friend. Love the setup with tables and decor. Freshly roasted coffee beans as well for sale.

Barista was super friendly and cool guy. La Marzocco espresso machine as well; you know they take their coffee seriously. Full bodied dark roast espresso was delicious; lots of heavy notes and deep flavor throughout. Also open fairly late (past 5 pm) for a coffee shop, which is a plus. If you need a quick evening coffee, this is the place to check out.

The light roast was very smooth and didn’t require any creamer. Would definitely return.

My boyfriend and I stopped in and shared a drink and a bagel. We got a frozen blended green tea and an asiago bagel with cream cheese. They both were really good! It was such a nice snack. The inside is super cool, and the person working was also really cool. I sadly did not get his name, but he mentioned to someone that he was studying radiology so that’s awesome. Highly recommend stopping in and trying something!

Fantastic little coffee shop! Excellent coffee with decent prices and a very local flair. It was a great place to take a break and relax for a little bit. They have art for sale, small snacks, and great service.

Warm & dimly lit coffee shop with local art displayed on the walls. I feel like this cafe was once an old dive bar (?) based off of the graffiti-style bathroom ~ has a lot of personality
Things you should know:
I. PARKING
The most convenient spot is along the street outside the shop. It's prepay street parking. I'm unsure if there's somewhere you can park where there is validation.
II. SERVICE
Friendly staff
III. QUALITY
We just ordered a house coffee and it did the trick
IV. CAPACITY
Fair amount of available seats for a week day early-evening

Great coffee and chai. Amazingly fast for the quality. Every barista I encountered was friendly and skilled. The art is quality and affordable. The vibe is uniquely edgy yet inviting. My favorite coffee bar I found in Asheville. I visited a few times- all with exceptional service and drinks.

As a New Yorker, I was highly skeptical 🧐 of the bagels...but I am happy to report that they were legitimately delicious. You have the option to get plain, asiago, or everything. Toppings include a few flavored cream cheeses and garlic hummus. They had a soft inside and chewy exterior. They were a bit smaller than I am used to, but honestly, it was a great portion size. Coffee was good too. Dairy free milk available. Cool art on walls and lots of tables for sitting.

Pro tip: there is no entrance down chicken alley...

From the moment we walked in we felt welcome and had excellent conversation with one of the employees. Also some of the best coffee we’ve had in a while! Very small and quaint, but a must try if you’re in the area. FYI, there’s only small eats here like bagels/cream cheese and some assorted pastries.

Good vibes and great coffee. Could describe like the movie 500 days of summer made you a beverage.

Every time my girlfriend and I visit Asheville/Blue Ridge from Charlotte, we stop by here. Favorite coffee shop in the area by far! Both for the coffee and for the shop itself, which has a cozy/warm and moody environment, a very welcome contrast to the bright “cafeteria”-white minimalism that a lot of coffee shops go for these days.. Definitely give it a try!

We walked for a couple of hours in Asheville NC today found this amazing coffee house magical coffee and their vegan gluten free walnut apple carrot cake unbelievable the only place worth walking to great artwork too!

The awesomeness I expected in this town, which I kept hearing about: cool staff, chill morning alternative music (actually alternative, not US commercial 'alternative'), nice art. I'd say 'it's like a Sydney café in the US', except the bagel here is better than any I've had in Australia.

Small coffee shop in the heart of Asheville. Very friendly staff who care about helping you. The cookies are really tasty. They have a big selection of drinks to choose from.

Coffee was as DELICIOUS As it was pretty! Nice atmosphere too.

Fantastic establishment. Polite staff and good drinks, wonderful atmosphere and art. The tables along the wall are the perfect height for standing as well. A great place to get a drink and finish projects.

Good coffee but their Dos Ruedas drip became my favorite for sure. I was surprised by the notes, very enjoyable cup of coffee for sure. The barista is very easy going, I’ve only been twice while passing through Asheville, but definitely worth my stop for coffee!

Greatly enjoyed the beverages here. There is clear passion in the process and the product at Izzy's. I had the cardamom rose latte and my husband had a cappuccino. He is super picky about the ratio in it, and he said this was the most perfectly prepared cappuccino he has had in a very long time.

Thoroughly enjoyed my morning chatting with the Barista Rand and the owner Kristin. The latte was super strong too. :)

Great atmosphere and really cool art on the walls. Dirty Chai was phenomenal, girlfriend got the vanilla latte and said it was great as well.
