The West End Bakery

Look at these photos!! I can tell you the place smelled incredible. I didn't get to try their food, because they don't serve breakfast until 9:00 and I had somewhere to be. I will absolutely be going back there!

Aways make this a stop on your list! I visit Asheville a few times a year and always make this a for sure stop in my list. Breakfast? Lunch? Amazing. Pastry’s? OUT OF THIS WORLD! Almost all of their items are made in house as well. The owner Stephaine as well as all of the staff there are always so kind and create such a great experience.

With limited time for brunch on a Sunday morning, we stumbled upon this bakery down the road from 2 other brunch locations with over hour long waits. We were mesmerized by the bakery case and loved the breakfast sandwich and breakfast focaccia. The cromuffin and Boston cream do it were excellent.

A solid boiled bagel. A little too gigantic for my preference, but it's solid and they're generous with the cream cheese. And, free parking in the lot next door, just look for the signs on the building.

The staff and food are exceptional! I especially enjoyed their home-cooked breads, bagels, and pastries. The young man named Porter really took good care of us. Great service with a smile!

A great selection of locally baked sweets and breads with generous options of drinks. The BLAT was delicious, amazing bread, aioli, turkey and bacon. Size was fulfilling.

Food was amazing, bagels, bread, pastries, coffee, teas...pretzel was to die for. Seriously good food. Staff was great. Very clean restaurant. Wil definitely be visiting again and often!

If you haven’t tried their fresh baked sourdough bread you should. It’s the best I’ve ever had.

I had the breakfast chicken pot pie and it was so delicious. I wish I lived in Asheville so I could eat this every morning, it was that good! Very nice, casual and comforting vibe.

Put this on your list of places to eat. Excellent coffee as well as innovative food. Croissants as big as your head!

Amazing pastries, especially the donuts! Great atmosphere with super friendly staff.

Great place! Great coffee! Great food!

Friendly staff. Fresh baked goods. Everything we had was excellent.

For pricing, 3 people was about 40 bucks.

A few notes: yes it’s under new ownership. This is like 4 new owners in 4 years but these people are really doing it right. If you are still complaining that the cinnamon rolls aren’t the same get over it, that was a long time ago. The bagels here are excellent. I’m headed back today for the breakfast pot pie. Really glad to have a good bakery back in central west again!

Been coming to this place for many years. They renovated and got all bourgeois on us. I miss the local hippie true to Asheville vibe. The bread is still perfect and priced right for fresh baked. I will keep coming to enjoy a perfect cup of iced coffee and Chai, delicious pastries and macaroons (despite the gentrification).

We both had a Bacon egg and cheese biscuit. They were great, but the cinnamon rolls were to die for amazing 😍🤩

Food was delicious, coffee was good, and the staff was extremely friendly.

Nice open coffee shop. Delicious coffee. They have a lot of plants inside, and they are also for sale.

Breakfast was super yummy!! Great atmosphere and costumer service.

Staff is very friendly. The place has lots of available seating inside and out. Tried their veggie burger of the day and it was amazing. I've never liked the bread on a burger so much before. It's definitely all fresh and home made. Also had their hummus and chips + snickerdoodle cookie, and americano.

Everything was amazing.. what more could you ask for? Can't wait to come back to try some other menu items
