mother bakery & cafe | south slope

Updated from three star to four star. Hoping not to again encounter the initial problem that led to the 3-stars, which was that they closed early with zero notice. Last time we also had a server who was clearly anxious to leave, probably because they had to close early. This was not the case this time. I had the lamb burger for the second time and it was outstanding! The service was efficient; they are quite busy. One of the servers allowed us to taste a couple of different wines, and there were generous pours. The salad with my lamb burger was extraordinarily beautiful. Original review is below. The food was excellent, in fact, quite extraordinary. I had the lamb burger, which had so much umami! We also had a mushroom bread. So good! My cortado was good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but c

I've bought excellent baguettes to go here before, but hadn't sat down to eat until today. OMG! Salmon toast! I'll never have plain ol' lox and bagel again after eating this! Amazing. I'll let you read the menu for details. I'll be back ASAP.

Amazing food, incredible space. All the food was exceptional. Shout out to Mo for making us feel at home! Genuinely one of the best bakeries in the city, grab all the bread if you go. Will definitely be making this a regular stop!

Fantastic! Popped in on my lunch break and had the salmon toast- it was as big as my head. Anywhere else you’d pay the same price for half the food and it’d be half as good. The vibes and playlist were immaculate, staff was friendly. Gem of a spot.

This is such a great place! Cute atmosphere, excellent food, and great service! Great hidden gem in Asheville!!!! Go try it.
