★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin Lee · Jan 2026

Idk the background of this place, but the pastries and bread that comes out of this place tastes like the chef went to France learned how to bake bread there. The baked goods here are divine. If its not from the rhu I dont want it. And the sandwiches they produce cannot be bad with the bread they use. Coffee is also top notch.

A quaint environment for an early morning cup of Joe and amazing pastry! These are the largest pastries I’ve seen… Worth every penny. This place used to be the French broad chocolate location I’m glad to see it’s been repurposed- space both upstairs and downstairs whether you’re there for a quick business meeting, catch up with a friend or just need a getaway space. And don’t forget to grab something on the way out.

Our absolute favorite place to eat and hang out in Asheville ( or anywhere else for that matter!). It’s a charming and very cozy space - great to grab a quick bite or hang out and spend some time. Staff is always super nice. We are regulars to the Asheville area and have gone to Rhu since its early days when it took over the French broad chocolate space. It was always special but now it’s become amazing- it seems every time we go I’m delighted by some new flavor profile they have put together! It is very reasonably priced but I always spend an arm and a leg because I buy just about every pastry due to how irresistible they are :) every time we go it is my goal to try every new pastry in the case. This time I was lucky enough to be there when they had a yacon pop tart. OMG! We went there

Brown sugar latte (syrup made in-house). Reuben is one of the best in town. Bread is all around delicious. Spectacular ham biscuit. Great southern food with a modern twist. Cute shop for local goods like hot sauces, wine, and more.

★★★★★ 5.0 Courtney Clift · Feb 2026

A fantastic coffee and breakfast spot with a cozy atmosphere. I had the butterscotch latte and biscuits and gravy with mushrooms. I never would have thought mushrooms would work in gravy like this but it was delicious! As an out of towner, this was a great spot to chill at and I’ll def be coming back!
