ButterPunk

The food is fantastic and the vibes are great!! Love that you can watch the beautiful biscuits being made. The owner and staff are very kind and you can tell they love what they’re doing.

I’ve eaten here three times. First time I ate biscuits and gravy, second time I had a biscuit sandwich, and today I ate a biscuit with a side of gravy. The biscuits are crunchy and a bit hard on the outside though it is soft and spongy on the inside. It was perfect for the sandwich, rendered mush underneath a big bowl of gravy; but today I really wanted a biscuit that hadn’t been reheated and made crunchy or hard on the outside. But no, that’s just how the biscuits are here. It was huge and even with a “shot” of gravy it was too much food for me. The gravy is mushroom gravy and it is wonderful. The Angeleno ice coffee is fantastic.

Wow. The best biscuit sandwich AND scone I've ever had was here at the new BUTTER PUNK bakery in the River Arts District. Great place to get food and coffee and shop for artwork right across the street! The biscuits live up to the hype and reputation of the “Queen of Biscuits”, Beth Kellerhals. The sandwich was made with a crispy edge biscuit, along with an egg cooked perfectly, and delicious candied bacon. The strawberry scone was moist and full of flavor with an amazing cream cheese frosting. I also had the Miso caramel latte - which was out of this world delicious! With food like this, they will no doubt succeed and I am very happy for them!

An awesome new breakfast spot! These biscuits are delicious and buttery. I loved the sausage which went great with the special mayo. My husband really enjoyed the candied bacon on his sandwich. We also got the chocolate chip cookie, which was easily the best cookie I’ve ever eaten. Sooo tasty, cute atmosphere and lovely people!

If I could give Butter Punk 6 stars, I would — one extra just for the tomato jam alone. That BLT biscuit? Life-changing. I didn’t know bacon could be that crispy and that tender at the same time. The homemade tomato jam deserves its own fan club. And the vanilla latte? I’m pretty sure it was brewed by coffee angels. The vibe inside is so chill, I felt like I accidentally wandered into the coolest brunch party ever — and the owner is the kind of sweet that makes you wonder if she’s part cinnamon roll. Bottom line: come hungry, leave emotionally attached. 10/10 would risk developing a biscuit addiction again.

This place is lick the plate good! Bike and dog friendly. Everyone in our group gave it 100% delicious rating. Souffle eggs a game changer for breakfast biscuits!

Loved the food service and vibe of the new “biscuit place” in the RAD. I ordered the biscuit sandwich with candied bacon (egg and cheese) and my partner opted for the homemade sausage add on to his egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuits themselves are SO good, didn’t *love* the sausage but it was still a great meal. I read all the reviews so we ordered the strawberry scone and it was absolutely perfect. I’ve heard from friends that weekends are packed and going later could mean things are sold out so we arrived at 8:05 Friday and I’d say 60% of the seating was taken up by that time so def plan ahead. Such a cute indoor space, I could see Butterpunk being in Brooklyn or San Francisco. Can’t wait to go back!

Came here because I love biscuits and gravy, and I think it’s the superior breakfast food. I got a biscuit and gravy plate with egg and sausage and their breakfast sammie (sausage egg & cheese on a biscuit). Ran us around $25. The place has very limited seating so good luck trying to eat your order inside… had to get it to go. The breakfast sammie was great, had fluffy eggs and a great biscuit- was it worth the $12? That’s debatable. I was really disappointed in the biscuits and gravy though, the gravy is mushroom gravy but it lacked flavor. All I could really taste was mushroom and I guess flour from the roux? Seemed like it needed more salt/seasoning. Maybe it’s because I’m used to grandma’s country gravy but to me it was very bland. The biscuit in my plate was also hard.. Overall I’d give this place another try, just maybe skip the gravy and go for something else.

Delicious biscuits piled high or a large plate of biscuits and gravy, whatever your heart desires. Come here for breakfast immediately. Super nice staff and delicious coffee. I can see me coming to Butter Punk every visit. Don't take my word for it. Go see for yourself. Sidenote, if you drink decaf coffee, you know how hard brewed decaf is to find. They have it!

Finally got to visit butter punk & I'm still dreaming about the biscuit I had. I got the OG breakfast sandwich with sage sausage. It had a homemade biscuit, aioli, a soufflé egg, sausage and cheese. YUM. I don't know what kind of magic they used to make the egg but holy cow it was perfect! Can't wait to go back!

The word is out now, so go early! Another delicious monster biscuit, this time not drenched in melted butter.

The biscuits are very large and tasty- unfortunately they weren't warm (I was hoping for hot). There is an up charge for butter and jam that was ok. Hubby got a breakfast biscuit that was delicious. The candied bacon was good. Hubby had drip coffee and I had the cafe au lait. Smaller mugs than I expected but still good. The staff was friendly, decor is quirky, bathroom is clean, and there was just short wait for a table and food. There is parking on the street as well as a lot.

Super delicious. New Little spot. Inside is very cute and well curated. I like that. It stays busy, but there is never a very long. Wait because they keep the menu simple. You are going here for a biscuit or a baked good and that's what you get, and it's gonna be a good one. Dan, but not too dense, buttery and flaky, but not too flaky (Can you really be too buttery?). The coffee is also delicious, and the workers are super kind. I do wish they had a vegetarian meat alternative.

Service, food, drink, and vibes were all great. I got the blueberry muffin cookie and the miso caramel latte. The cookie was soooo good!

Love this new spot in RAD. Such a cool funky vibe inside and the biscuits are amazing. Such a nice crunchy biscuit and you have to try a pastry from the case. They rotate the options and the scones are seasonal. The blackberry scone with lemon glaze was really good. Go early, though. We got there right when it opened at 8 and it was starting to pick up when we left. About 2 hours later we passed by and there was a line out the door. Everyone in there is super friendly too!

Is 5 stars really the highest rating I can give? Maybe they need to add a few more for places like this. This new women-owned biscuit bakery in Asheville's Upper River Arts District (RAD) is truly amazing and one-of-a-kind. From the interesting interior decor, to the fantastic, friendly service to the incredible food and coffee, innovative places like this are exactly what the RAD needs to usher in its recovery from last year's devastating hurricane Helene and its historic flooding. The biscuits here are without a doubt the best biscuits I've ever had. Sorry, Biscuit Head, there's no contest here. Not even my grandma's biscuits were this good. They are ample sized, golden brown and crispy on the outside and white and flaky on the inside. We had them as breakfast biscuit sammies with egg and cheese, and one with added candied bacon. Both were super good and enough for a filling breakfast before a walk along the French Broad River greenway. Their coffee is excellent as well. Prices are inline with portion size and quality of the food. We got a beautiful fresh strawberry scone with a sumac glaze to go. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm already looking forward to having it tomorrow morning for breakfast with some additional strawberries from our garden. We will definitely be back to try their biscuits with mushroom gravy and their other baked treats. It's also our new go-to coffee spot when in the RAD. UPDATE: The strawberry scone we got to go was almost as good as the biscuits, which, as I noted in my original review above, are hands down THE BEST BISCUITS EVER.

What a place to grab breakfast at holy cow was it tasty. Get the OG breakfast sandwich and a slice of pie lines out the door Sunday.

Stop whatever you are doing and get over to Butter Punk. The biscuits are some of the best I've ever tasted and the jam? Amazing. This place is super cute, super small and women owned. Watching them stir up a batch while eating our breakfast was super cool. Limited seating but totally worth it. Can't wait to go back and try another pastry.

The owner, Beth, has curated a lovely, on-trend space. It's perfect for the RAD (River Arts District) without being too Asheville "weird" (IYKYK). I loved it! She's also entirely likeable and greeted everyone thanking them for coming. I know biscuits are personal and everyone likes what they like. However, IMHO, these are classic & perfect. I'm not an early riser so I missed out on the daily special Plum hand pie so I opted for the menu staple: egg (soufflé) biscuit sandwich. It's got a burnt scallion "mayo on it with cheese. I can't do pork so I didn't add any meat. It was genuinely yum! Rich as heck though, and messy, so I resorted to open-faced fork & knife eating. Still Amazing. I'll def be bringing my people and maybe early enough to get a daily sweet special. :)

Butter Punk was delicious and such a fun vibe. Big crowds on the weekend, so plan to go when you're not in a rush. Great customer service and friendly staff! Highly recommend the herbal tea, Angeleno coffee, and BBLT with and without fried egg was excellent. These biscuits are unbelievably good, 10/10!

New to block Butter Punk is crushing. Awards for best in scone and perfect coffees. We're asking ourselves how much butter can be in one biscuit. Everyone was super friendly and the place looks great.

Simply amazing, my wife and I went two days in a row during our visit to Asheville. They've cracked the code on biscuits!!

Best biscuits anywhere!!! Light, perfectly salted, buttery, crisp edges, and still fluffy. Hearty without being heavy. Cool vibe and friendly servers. Our party of 4 tried almost everything on the menu and it was all pitch perfect.

The BEST coffee, cappuccino and bakery IN TOWN! Seriously, better grab what you can while you are still able! Beth's pastries are beyond amazing. The vibe is 100% AVL and sure to set your good mood for the whole day.

Best breakfast concept I have experienced in a decade. These ladies are doing it right.

I've never been a huge fan of biscuits but Butter Punk has totally changed my opinion of them! I've never had a biscuit that has tasted this good in my life, and I'm not young! absolutely fabulous!!
