What People Are Saying
from Google"Love the customer service and the support received as recommended by the Penny Cup team. First day was Honeycomb and day 2 was the lavender coffee, take out. I was initially skeptical but I remained open to the experience and it did not disappoint."
"great atmosphere, nice shop, got a ymi iced latte it was mediocre for $7. but the real kicker is the barista finishing the drink and not calling out a name or the order or saying anything, just putting it on the counter and leaving it as she sees us sitting on the other side of the room, after 10 minutes of us looking up to see if she’s finished she just says your order is ready and we said oh we didn’t know how long has it been ready and she said a hot minute rudely, and then she proceeds to leave the store as we are sitting in there with seemingly no one else in there, there might have been but we wouldn’t know it’s empty, but yeah not a bad store but definitely didn’t have a good experience"
"Nice local chain without the chain feeling. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. The espresso is good. I had a cortado, really focusing on the espresso and bitterness. Not as much complexity as I’d like but still good. The cappuccino was appropriately dry although the espresso didn’t take center stage. The atmosphere is great and the baristas knew what they were doing."
"My wife and I came here twice during our short trip to Asheville and this place has all the coffee vibes! A small collection of books in the back, a great collection of coffee. Honestly a good place to sit back and relax and take a load off while you stay warm! Very enjoyable atmosphere!"
"Super adorable, artsy shop! I loved how inclusive this coffee shop was and their encouragement/love towards other local shops and artists. While visiting out of state from Tennessee, we were planning on trying some coffee shops around the Asheville area. My experience at PennyCup was wonderful! I ordered a “spicy” mocha with cayenne & cinnamon latte. Although I don’t enjoy spice, I ordered this out of curiosity. It was delicious, but very spicy the more I drank it! This is a great pick for those who want a little kick to their drink. I’m just a wimp, ha!"
