Owl is just what Asheville has needed for years. Perfectly executed French pastries and light lunch items in a classy but casual atmosphere. This place is serious and I say that as a pastry graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in London. Many American patisseries try to do this and are not authentic but this is the real deal. Please don't miss this gem in West Asheville, it's worth the drive.
This place is the most precious place and I’ve been dreaming about it since we visited a week ago. We didn’t even have a baked good-we opted for affogatos and they did not disappoint.
Amazing bakery. Got the cream cheese maple apple danish and it was one of the best pastries I've ever enjoyed. Good espresso and the tip was included so that was nice to see they take care of their people. Comfy seating and street parking was easy to find right outside. Could not take a picture before most of the goods were enjoyed so I apologize, but that should be a testament to how great it was. Got two pastries and only meant to eat one and save another for later and ended up smacking both in a matter of ten minutes.
Stop reading reviews and order from here. Flavorful, fresh, flaking, fabulous freaking bakery. Clearly a talented chef is working here. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The coffee and tea was amazing too. We brought home 4 baked goods and they were gone before we made it home.
WOW! Best pastries I’ve ever tried in the United States. All of which were fresh and had the perfect blend of flavors and correct texture.
The Rose Almond Croissant was buttery, flaky and crunchy outside while being soft and sweet inside partly due to the almond paste.
The Cardamon Bun was crunchy outside and soft inside with the perfect amount of Cardamon.
The sweet Danish was sweet with a hint of acidity and the perfect dough texture.
Did not take more than 5min to order and receive my food. The hot latte was creamy and perfect amount of coffee for me.
I do advise you to go before 10:00am if you want to try all of their delicious pastries and quiche.
Will absolutely come back again.
Bakery of my dreams 🤩. Sampled several pastries and all were top notch and delicious. Plenty of options to choose from which is fun. Latte was creamy and delicious. Will definitely come back when I can
A cozy cafe with some unique pastries and coffee/tea based drinks. Great place for a quick breakfast at an independent place!

Stoked we were able to grab some pastries this morning before hitting the road! Arrive 10 minutes before they opened and was 6th in line. By the time we left there were probably 10 people in line behind us!
They are operating a walk up window system and asking their guests to mask up! There was plenty of outdoor seating but we took ours to go!
Service was quick and friendly. Everything we ordered was delicious and I even grabbed a tote! We had the following pastries:
Morning Bun - absolutely must order
Sweet Danish - strawberry was fantastic
Ham & Cheese Croissant- Yummmmm
Lemon Tart - BEAUTIFUL!!!
Pastelito - perfect combo of guava paste and cream cheese
We also snagged a piece of quiche which had spring onions and was super tasty as well!
Definitely recommend visiting this bakery! My partner has a coffee with cream and their vanilla cardamom syrup which I’m assuming they make in house. We saw some of the bread going out, and regretted our decision to purchase bread before we left for our trip!
Thank you Owl Bakery for making delicious food for your community to enjoy!
Got some fresh warm porridge bread and a lemon tart! The bread was definitely the star. Loaded with flax (the first pic doesn't show it, but trust me) and sunflower seeds, it tasted very fluffy but hearty, and somehow buttery. I wish I lived closer because I can't go back to regular bread after this! Hands down one of the best bread I've ever tasted. The tart was very good too, and balanced.
Outstanding pastries! If you’re a foodie like me you can certainly appreciate the obvious excellence in technical skill displayed in every morsel. Even my parents, who think Costo croissants are great, bit into their OWL croissants and immediately noted the multitude of crispy, flaky layers that were simultaneously tender in the middle. I love the Portuguese tarts—not too sweet but rich and creamy. I’ve gotten the everything danish a couple times, and it’s like a decadent everything bagel, it’s so unusual yet so delicious. I also love a good mocha or hot chocolate with my pastries, and they make good ones, nice and chocolatey. If you owe yourself an excellent pastry you need to hit OWL!
The best baked goods ever!! I went there two days in a row because they have such delicious treats to offer. Highly recommend.
Some of the best pastry I've had. Just charming shop and beautiful pastry made with care. Lively coffee be era es as well.
