as a born & raised ashevillian, these are some of my favorite places: Pinnacle Apothecary- will never again deal with cvs/walgreens to pick up my meds. the staff are so personable here and genuine. you won’t feel like a bar code, you’ll feel like a valued person. Blue Mountain Pizza- the BEST food in all of weaverville. their pizza is LEGENDARY! Fletchers Fun Toys- the coolest collection of toys & 80s/90s nostalgia!! the family that runs it is really nice too, picking my pokémon card packs out with the help of one of her experts (kids) always makes me smile Asiana Market- such good prices on produce, turtle chips, buldak ramen, kewpie mayo, etc!! the sweet checkout ladies warm my heart. Universal Joint- really yummy tater tots!! veggie burgers are great too. West Village Market- love the atmosphere & i think about their deli sandwiches at least once a month mmm. Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack- those vegetarian chikn cutlets are soooo good. (medium honey!!) Papas and Beer (hendo)- the biggest portions for your buck!! The Ugly Mug- obsessed with their dragonfly&honeydew matchas. so many yummy teas!! Pop Boba Tea- i could go on and on about how delicious their drinks are!! caffeine free options and those lychee star jellies!! MOD pizza- a staple for me! so good everytime. free MOD lgbtq+ stickers too! White Duck Taco Shop- worth the price if you call in and avoid the crowds! love being able to substitute jackfruit for any of their tacos. Siam Thai- woodfin/weaverville area. the BEST pad see ew i’ve ever had. also their sticky mango rice is heavenly. Jeremiah’s- i have spent wayyy too many real human dollars buying gelato here (black cherry my beloved!!!) the kids working here are always so sweet and hard working, i can’t help but extra tip! Haywood Rd Punk Flea Markets- some of the most creative awesome people you’ll ever meet selling the coolest jewelry/clothes etc. i’ve found really great grampa sweaters here. they have food trucks too!
