Ovenbird Kitchen & Bakery

My wife and I found this on google maps as we were leaving Asheville. We wanted a light breakfast and decided to get some bakery items to go. This place was right on the way and we decided to stop here. At first we were a bit apprehensive because of the building and the fact that they only had a few items out. We were VERY pleasantly surprised. We got a couple items and everything was good and very reasonably priced. We have been to bakeries literally all over the country and this is one of the best, even better than the hyped up bakeries in LA and NYC. Very unpretentious and like I said, affordable. If you are in Asheville you need to go here!

Fantastic coffees, bagels, breads, and sweet treats. I was so thrilled to see this place thriving. Stop in and get one of their amazing scones or freshly toasted bagel.

Stopped in for a bagel this morning as I was heading to Asheville, and I was seriously blown away by how delicious it was. Hands down best bagel I’ve ever had in my life! The dough felt very light and soft but also had an addictive chew. You could tell the flour was also very high quality as it had an amazing toasty, yeasty flavor. Hats off to the bakers - they have mastered the craft!

A wonderful new to me bakery. Delicious scones, macaroons and sour dough bread!

Got an iced latte and a muffin- both very good! Cost about $10. My friend got a bagel, toasted with butter. The sign said bagels are 2.50 but she payed almost 5. So we are a bit perplexed as to the 2.50 up charge for toasting it and adding butter? Either way, cute, small place! However, no tables or chairs to sit at.
