Get Going with Goodness - Edit
Backporch Baking Co provides the vegan pastries and overall they are truly amazing. I wish there were a bit more options via the cafe for vegans, including more savory pastries, a soup and a good sandwich. They can "veganify" almost any drink and the PB&C smoothie is great for a bit of sweetness. Would love to see a few more smoothie options as well, especially ones minus the sugary ingredients. The vegan gelato is a great addition and the staff is fantastic. Always warm and welcoming. Sadly, no dogs allowed so I grab to go; lastly, the coffee is probably the best coffee I have had in Asheville.

Not vegan friendly - Edit
The only vegan food option was stuffed grape leaves, which were ok.

Such sweet staff! - Edit
We stopped in for coffee and thought the staff was absolutely precious. The barista at the counter was super sweet and you could tell she loved her job, loved coffee, and was excited to help you pick something out.

Fabulous!! - Edit
The most wonderful owners and they have long hours, although I worry about their work life balance. Ninety percent of the pastries are vegan and extremely high quality. And there are at least a dozen vegan pastries. For vegan snacks they just have stuffed grape leaves and sometimes soup. Oh and smoothies. The coffee is delicious. They are everything a coffee shop should be.
