Busy lounge with live music on some weekends. Not all vegan but has a vegan olive oil chocolate cake, a vegan truffles collection, and sipping chocolate. Soy milk is also available for the coffee. In 2015 relocated from 10 S Lexington Ave. Open Mon-Thu 11:00am-11:00pm, Fri-Sat 11:00am-12:00am, Sun 11:00am-11:00pm.

happy little break - Edit
Didn’t know this place was vegan but wanted a good cup of espresso....was SO HAPPY to find the delicious options! Cake, two kinds of ice cream, 6 different kinds of truffles, and any kind of coffee drink you would want.
Pros: tasty, reasonably priced

Delicious! - Edit
A surprisingly large pool of vegan desserts to choose from. The truffles are really good, but it's a little disappointing that some of the flavors I wanted to try don't come in vegan form. There were two different types of vegan ice cream (not sure if that's normal) and both were delicious! The olive oil cake was decadent, but the tiniest bit dry for my taste. The service is hit or miss, which is why it got 4 instead of 5 stars. Some of the employees seem to be a little bothered by customers. But definitely worth checking out if you're in Asheville!

Tasty vegan ice cream! - Edit
I was very happy to see they had several flavors of vegan ice cream, and you could get vegan hot chocolate. They had a great selection of lots of desserts and the line was out the door, even on a snowy day. The vegan ice cream (I tried the chocolate buddha, and toasted coconut) was very good - coconut was my favorite.

Delicious Vegan Truffles - Edit
The strawberry balsamic truffle was awesome! So were the other two that I tried. They only have 6 choices of truffles though. They also had a vegan cake and some vegan siping chocolate. Staff wasn't super friendly.

Mmmmmmm! - Edit
This is my favorite place to buy chocolate. I love the Sho-co-latl or however it is spelled. I also like the sipping chocolate.
I have deadly milk allergies, and this place has never poisoned me.
Pros: tasty!!, nice atmosphere, living wage with tips
Cons: they only serve desserts :p

Vegan Truffles!! - Edit
I planned to try the chocolate olive oil cake but the line for the cafe was ridiculous. They had a side shop with a reduced menu - mostly truffles and ice cream. I was fulling only expecting 1 vegan truffle option but to my surprise they had 7 total vegan flavors of truffles. Got a box of 6 to pick (almost) one of each. Runs about $13 for a 6box. They're delicious!
Pros: vegan chocolate, friendly staff
Cons: long lines

Hey, It's Vegan Chocolate! - Edit
I always appreciate a place that specifies vegan options. I had the vegan hot chocolate. It was a bit thicker than I had expected, but it was so good. It's fair trade chocolate. Good company. Long lines, but great service.
Pros: Chocolate, Great Service
Cons: Long Line

Vegan Chocolate Cake - Edit
Went to French Broad for the Theros Olive Oil Vegan Chocolate Cake on our trip to Asheville over Thanksgiving. It was good, the raspberry puree on the plate helped to add a little extra something and to moisten it up. Sit upstairs, it is much quieter. Expect long lines to order, it's very popular!
