Starbucks

Great service, friendly staff. The only negative thing I have to say about this Starbucks is regarding the parking. The parking is BAD. Every time I come here I find myself struggling to maneuver around other vehicles and squish into the tiny spots. The first time I tried coming here I struggled so much in the parking lot I decided to go somewhere else completely. I know this isn’t something they can control, as they’re right on a busy road with no room for expansion. I’m happy with everything else!

For a Starbucks, this is a pretty good one.
There is an awesome semi outdoor seating area. The reason I say semi is because they have canvas and plastic surrounding it. This is nice since if it’s raining, you won’t get wet and if it’s really sunny you won’t get burnt. With the doors tied open, you get a nice breeze still. It’s like a big patio or sun room.
Inside has seating as well but no big long tables inside. There is a large table outside. I found large tables at starbucks useful for group meetings.
Parking is great too. They have a large parking lot all to them selves.
The building is cool and matches the surrounding Biltmore Village. No drive thru

Excellent service every time, who doesn’t love a Starbucks, staff are friendly

I’ve stopped in here around 3 – 4 times when driving back and forth from Arkansas to North Carolina. I do this often enough to know which Starbucks I go to. I can say hands down this is the most professional, fasted, and courteous Starbucks on I-​40 (that I’ve yet to experience). Parking is a bit odd, but they have plenty of it.

It’s a Starbucks, chances are if you’re reading this you’re probably already familiar with Starbucks itself so I won’t bother reviewing the chain itself.
As others have noted parking is a huge pain. Not much parking, and traffic around the building is heavy as it is (or at least it was when I was there, a Saturday evening) which didn’t help. I just parked in another lot and hoofed it. The service is very nice, the barista who took my order and made my drink was very friendly and of course made my drink perfectly. He was super awesome.
There’s seating inside and outside, and even this time of year it’s still possible to sit outside, as it’s now covered and there’s heat lamps on the ceiling to provide some warmth. You’re still exposed to the cold via the entrances from the parking lots (think of it as two eternal open doors) and the fact that the wall coverings are plastic which surely don’t insulate as well, but it’s definitely better than nothing. Plus, sitting out there drinking my coffee, I felt fine even though it was cold.

Great coffee, great snacks, clean, nice atmosphere, good seating, parking is a little rough and crowded but that means it must be good.

Beautiful locally themed décor. Large tarp-​covered outdoor seating area. Located literally at the entry to the Biltmore Estate, within easy walking distance of the Historic Biltmore Village shopping district. However, if you are walking over from there, be aware that you have two large and busy streets to cross, and one little part of your walk won’t have a sidewalk. (Not very pedestrian friendly of you, Asheville!!). Nice warm and friendly staff. They have the Fizzio sodas.

Parking is ridiculous and people often park illegally because they need coffee that bad, which makes it difficult to back out.
But the drinks are good. ;)

This is a nice cozy location near the Biltmore. It has unique architecture that fits into the surrounding area. There is no drive through here though. They have the new Clover machine and I swear it makes my espresso taste better. The service has always been nice.

It’s Starbucks, so I love it. I crave it, I need it.
There are only a few in Asheville (2 free-​standing that I know of, the rest are in larger stores), so I visit this location quite a bit, especially because I always find myself in this part of town. It meets all of my expectations as a Starbucks. So i won’t rate it based on any of the Starbucks standards you have come to expect. What I will tell you is that this location is not as convenient as others. It does not offer a drive-​thru (likely due to location otherwise known as what Biltmore Village says goes) and the parking is a pain due to the small lot and awkward layout. But, when you are in the area and need a fix, this location won’t disappoint. The staff will take care you, they are very pleasant (as most Asheville folk are) and they always get my order just right. Can’t say the same for some other spots.
But that said, I would rather run in to the Starbucks kiosk/​in-​store counter at a nearby Ingles/​Barnes &Noble/​Target, than navigate the parking lot here if I have the option. I mean, either way I have to run out right, so why not seek the one with better parking?

Parking is tight and there’s like 7 spots and if ur walking to get there watch for traffic and pray u don’t pray a statistic

Yeah it’s Starbucks. Yeah it’s a chain. Yeah we’re in Asheville. But I don’t care. I love Starbucks and this is the best one in the area.
Only downside is their parking lot is usually full.

I used to be in Starbucks so often one or the employees challenged me to fill every option box on the cup. The day I did, I loved it. Now every Starbucks employee hates me and I sound like a total weenie ordering but when they get it right it’s perfect.
I just moved here and this is my closest Starbucks. Through gritted toothy smiles, these coffee professionals impressively almost always get my complex and crazy drink right. If parking were better this would be my preferred Asheville coffee place.
