Amazing coffee. Run by people who obviously are passionate and caring about their products, but without any of the unnecessary pretense or snobbery that is often associate with third wave craft coffee shops. The only place in town to get nitro flash chilled ice coffee, which at least to my palate is far superior in flavor and complexity to the cold-brewed variety. That alone should make it an essential stop for iced coffee fans in downtown asheville. The only downside to trade and lore is that the space has very little natural light in the main seating area which can feel, for me, a bit depressing and uncomfortable, but I wouldnt feel right subtracting a star because thats the fault of the building, not the business owners. Its been a notoriously tough spot for several past failed businesses so I really hope Trade and Lore can pull it of, because what the do there is really wonderful.

This place is incredible. There are a lot of coffeeshops in Asheville that all fit their own niche, but Trade & Lore is my new go-to. The coffee is meticulously crafted and the space has been decorated with great care and attention to details. Plenty of seating both indoors and out, and a really special degree of warmth that makes you instantly feel comfortable. This place is all high-vibes and high-quality - arguably the greatest new spot in town. AND for all you non-dairy folks, they use Calafia almond milk which is amazingly creamy and rich - no watered down nut milk! a dream come true. seriously.

This is definitely the new "it" coffee shop in Asheville. I love the self-service station, which is a godsend if all you want is a quick coffee. Apart from that, however, the place often feels understaffed and it can take a little while to get a drink, so its not a place Id go if you need a quick latte. The atmosphere is pretty unique, which is tough to pull off around here, but its very inviting, and a great place to either relax for a while or have a quick business meeting.

Very friendly staff. And the espresso was one of the best Ive had since a year abroad in Europe, a welcome delight! The interior has a very high ceiling which makes the space feel very open. It did seem to be a little loud in there even though there werent many people, guess there needs to be some sort of dampening for sound.

That atmosphere is great (indie but non-elitist), my draft iced Coffee is unique and fantastic, and the booth benches against the wall are the most comfortable wooden seating Ive ever encountered. Great place for anyone to study, relax, hang out, or have a great coffee-drinking experience.

Because of my recently realized dairy allergy, Ive started to make the foray into black coffee and Americanos. This place has shown me the light and is some of the best coffee in Asheville. Will make this a regular stop for me, especially since they are so close to a parking deck. :)

This is a nice coffee shop in Asheville. Its on wall street, which is different than all of the other streets and their patio seating is nice. Their $2 drip coffee was good (we decided not to splurge and spend $4 on a pourover).

The cortado I ordered was delicious. I got to try the vanilla latte, and while Im usually not a fan, theirs was exceptional. It was clear they used high quality ingredients, and put a lot of thought into their coffee.

I was skeptical when my wife dragged me into a not a starbucks for coffee. The coffee drink they made was delicious, the staff was wonderfully pleasant and I love the rustic/ eclectic decor. Its a winner.

I tried the Onyx Chocolate Latte, and it was really delicious. I love the vibe of the place. The mugs and cups that they serve the coffee in are extra cute to me. Definitely a highlight of local Asheville.

Delicious coffee shop. Excellent cappuccinos, lattes and teas! Everything Ive tried here has been delicious! Cool spot to sit, enclosed with brick walls. A nice break from the hot Asheville sun.

The white tip tea on tap here was amazing. The barista added Orange blossom simple syrup & I thought Id died & gone to heaven. It was so unique & refreshing. I would definitely go back here again.

Tucked away in Wall St., This coffee shop served an excellent cup of coffee and had a quiet mellow atmosphere. I wished I had had more time to sit and relax and read a book.

For serious coffee lovers who have a favorite region and brew method. Extra points for having cardamon buns among their tasty pastries. (Making cinnamon buns look basic AF.)

You know, this place is really nice. Initially, I was a little put off by the atmosphere, but the staff is super nice and the coffee is good and remarkably cheap.

I had already had lots of coffee so I got an iced tea specialty drink that was really refreshing. Very nice staff helped my mom pick an iced lavender (?) latte.

The atmosphere is dark and moody which I love. Art on the walls and warm feeling. The coffees are delicious and well made. Try their cold brew in draft! Its bomb

Simple and define. Choose one of two brews and relax at the front seating area. Parking can be a pain, but use pay&park app for an easier time.
