Espresso lovers have a somewhat new haunt in West Asheville. Waking Life Espresso opened in November on 976 Haywood Road, priding itself on meticulously crafted espresso, which it turns out to rave reviews.
"All of the focus is on the coffee," says Xpress associate editor Margaret Williams, who names the cappuccino at Waking Life as her favorite in Asheville. "It's consistent and always good."
"Gourmet Grrl," who writes Asheville food blog She Who Eats had this to say about the West Asheville "microcafe":
"In this Starbucks age, a local coffee shop must deliver high quality coffee or have an unbeatable location to stay competitive. Waking Life's owner has invested most of his money and energy into the (hand-cranked) espresso machine, the fine, locally roasted coffee, and a small assortment of rustic loose teas. Get the espresso right, and you've got an instant following. Waking Life has earned their place in the coffee pantheon of Asheville, and is sure to attract a dedicated clientele."
