Local Guide to West Asheville
Visiting Period Nirvana from out of town? Whether we are the purpose of your visit or just an added bonus to your Asheville getaway we are thrilled to have you visit us. Our store is located in West Asheville, an artsy and locals-centric part of the city with a unique vibe all its own. You can spend a day going all the way up Haywood starting at Beacham's Curve, where we are located, until you reach the end.
There are so many places to eat, drink, and shop in WAVL but here are a few of our favorites.
BattleCat Coffee Bar - a small coffee shop with the coolest logo and vibe. I spend my paychecks here. If you brew at home grab a bag of the Pennycup BattleCat Blend beans and thank me later.
Harvest Records - amazing selection of vinyl and compact discs, a staple of WAVL.
Cellarest Beer Project - local brews, live music, amazing shady patio, and don't miss Cassia, the thai truck.
Archetype Brewing - a local brewery where you can find drinks on tap. Order food from either Pizza Mind of Gan Shan West and they will deliver it to your table!
OWL Bakery - the most beautiful, flaky, perfect pastries you've ever seen plus fresh baked loaves of bread.
Hole Doughnuts - a little farther of a walk but worth it for made fresh doughnuts. Pro tip - order online for pickup to avoid a long wait!
Cooperative Coffee - what started as a local roastery is now also a sweet coffee spot perfect for bringing your laptop. They have a large outdoor patio.
Emote AVL - queer art and secondhand store. Famous for their free clothing swaps.
Flora - It's a coffee shop, a plant store, and a gift shop in one!
