Another great coffee shop in Asheville. This was a really busy place when I went, which was a Sunday morning. They have a large selection of breakfast sandwiches and a pretty decent coffee selection. This shop also has lots of vegan and vegetarian options for breakfast.

This is a fantastic find for breakfast and coffee that is as easy to eat in as it is to take out. The coffee (Americana and dirty chai latte with oat milk) and food (avocado toast) were top notch. Service was great and fast. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They sell some local goods. The parking lot has 8 spots but there is a bit of street parking a few hundred feet down the road.

Ultras cool, I love their bagel with the sweet and sour sauce, bacon and cucumber. So yummy. I got a cheese biscuit at the counter last time that was really good. I usually get a latte too. Maybe not something Id write home about, but definitely fine. It can be very busy there and the area inside is small, but its a nice place to grab a quick lunch/coffee.

I was BLOWN AWAY! I wish there was an Ultra Coffee Bar in my city! I had a London Fog and it was fabulous. I also tried some of their bakery treats which were excellent. And the salmon and cream cheese bagel changed my life. They have a super cute dine in area, and an outdoor patio, clean bathrooms and super friendly staff! I would spend so much money if there was one of these in Atlanta!!

Great spot for coffee and breakfast. Please don’t be discourage if there’s a line outside, it moves pretty fast. Nice variety of drinks and sandwiches. The outside seating is very cool!

The coffee was okay. The breakfast wraps were okay - mine was definitely better than my husband’s. Both wraps were rather bland.

Great atmosphere. I got an iced chai latte with the add of honey lavender flavor shot. Very delicious. I also added spinach to my Ella sandwich and it was really good

My partner likes their syrups and wraps and all that, but I’m a simple person — the oat milk latte here is better than other oat milk lattes, so I’m sold. I don’t know if it’s the oat milk or the coffee or both, but it’s just really, really good.

Parking, great food and coffee. Outdoor seatings and top notch service. Two thumbs up.Also highly recommend the lavender latte. Unless you don’t like lattes - then I recommend EVERYTHING else - because it is all great.

The family and I stopped in here for breakfast before hitting the road back home. I got the Rick James (drink pictured) and the vegan sunrise bagel sandwich. My wife said her iced drink was the best coffee drink shed ever had. Her sandwich was great too.

They have the sweetest stuff, everyone was super kind. Their chai is one of the tastiest in town and the sandwich was delicious, bagels are fresh and soooo good! Check them out!

The best bagel sandwich I have ever had! I am not a big fan of eggs so I tried the Jalapeño popper bagel, which was AMAZING! It was such a great combination of ingredients and very easy to eat too (considering it’s a bagel sandwich). The coffee is perfect, too! I tried hot cinnamon vanilla latte, and it is a great fall flavor. The staff was very nice trying to help us pick our food since it was our first time here! Definitely worth getting breakfast here.

Review №13

Went here in a nice cool September morning. Got the honey lavender and vanilla/cinnamon lattes. They were excellent, the honey lavender was very unique and filling. The jalapeño popper bagel was amazing. The bagel was perfectly toasted and the ingredients were excellent. It was rather simple overall, the bacon wasn’t terrible, it was crispy but the synergy of the cucumbers and cream cheese made this an excellent bagel. The place is surrounded by forest and the wooden tables off the brick walls made for an overall excellent experience If you are stopping by in Asheville and wanna place a bit away from the urban center, give this place a try.

Very fast service and extremely good food. They make it fresh right then and there and I was very impressed with the quality of the food that I tasted! I went for breakfast and got the Ella, which I would definitely recommend. Coffee is good too! Five stars, would recommend!

Review №18

We drove an extra 20 minutes to try Ultra Coffeebar on a friends recommendation. We choose the lattes, and they were lattes. Not Really Good as we were told and had anticipated.There are plenty of other local chains that taste the same, and cost less.*One thing I did like: they support local artists but selling their mug-art inside the store, several were very cool & unique

I come pretty much every day on my way to work and I get some delicious food and something yummy to drink and sit outside and enjoy the morning before the hustle of the day takes over. I look forward to it 😊 and the staff really has a lot to do with that. Daniel and Zack in particular. Great people, great food, great coffee, great outside seating. All good in my book! Yay ultra you guys kick ultra butt. Thanks for being my daily vacation

Some of the best coffee in Asheville from one of the most amazing baristas ever! If Rachel is there your espresso will be smooth as her cute green velvet dress! Her smile Brightens up the place as she rails through drinks with ease, her bar flow is some of the smoothest actions you’ll see such a pleasure to watch and talk to! Say Hi to her and get some amazing coffee!! Would recommend her favorite a quad Rick James ;)

I wish I had noted the warm and welcoming man who greeted me as I stopped by for a quick cuppa. He was awesome! I went with the Drip of the day. My order was a simple one...the bathroom was clean. Indoor and Outdoor seating. A few parking spaces. Walkable location to peek at Ashevilles Art District.

My new spot for coffee in Asheville discovered on a recent trip. Caramel made in house. Caramel latte hot or iced are both so on point, my friend got two of them. Minimalist interior. Outdoor seating available. Parking available on small lot on the side or on surrounding streets.

Review №29

Had an awesome vegan breakfast here. Love the Viva La Vegan. The Western was good too, after I put some of their Franks hot sauce in it. Needed a little something extra, but I was happy they had my favorite hot sauce. Their Cappuccino was really good! What you would expect a real one to be like (not the overly sweet Americanized version). Not pictured but amazing was their Chai ball. It is a delicious, and definitely sweet, way to finish our breakfast. It’s also a great location. Right in the Art District of Asheville. Our cashier was also very nice and eager to accommodate and explain.

Their coffee is bad, I couldnt even make myself drink it for the energy. They also have a one hour table limit so you dont even have time to get work done, though the employees are so loud you probably cant even for for the hour they allow you to be there.

I love this place! This was my first time here visiting Asheville and decided to stop by. The people that work here are so kind and generous. My boyfriend accidentally smacked my bagel off the table... I went back to order another one and after telling them what happened they offered me a free one. SO NICE!!!!! Will definitely be coming back here. The brekkie wrap and classic bagel are tasty.

This place rocks for GF/vegetarian/vegan eaters! Highly recommend stopping here if youre looking for a cute, quick stop while youre in the Asheville area. The menu is incredible and there is so much to choose from. The food is SO delicious and fresh. I got the Western Wrap on GF wrap (which is really tough to master, but they did it!), a latte w/ oat milk, and a GF blonde brownie - all were amazing. Plus the staff is super friendly. The outdoor patio is nice too. 5 stars and will definitely be going back!

Great coffee and amazing pastries! I got an iced cinnamon vanilla latte and my fiancé got the Rick James which is a well-balanced espresso and Coca Cola drink. I know it sounds strange, but it is amazing and definitely gets your day going! We got a Magic bar, a coconut and chocolate bar, to split. I don’t usually care for coconut, but I promise it is worth it.

If i could give a negative 5 stars i would !!!! Everything was great until i took a bite of my wrap . I had something chewy and low and behold a used Bandaid !!! Talk about disgusting . I gave them 3 months and countless chances to redeem themselves . Being a business owner i understand what a bad review can do . When i went back in to address the situation i noticed know-body was wearing gloves in the kitchen as they were preparing food . Seriously? This is a health violation and i will be reporting. No refund, and bad way to handle the situation from the owner . Please think twice before eating here .

Very friendly people, EXTREMELY good sandwiches, great coffee, and the other baked goods looked very good as well. Will be coming back next time Im in town! My wife and I shared a Boss Sandwich and a Hangover. The boss was basically a Reuben with egg on a pumpernickel bagel and the hangover was your traditional ham, egg, & cheese, with honey mustard on a soft pretzel. Both were fantastic! If I had to make a complaint, its a little too pricey to do often, but still very reasonable for what you got. Also, Im on vacation, so who cares.

Funky, Creative coffee drinks, sandwiches, bagels, and more! At least 12 outdoor tables and perfect Covid standards with the customer base that was great at queuing with 6 ft distance outside, and one party going in to the order desk at a time. Coffee was very good, sandwiches were even better! Really loved the Fig and Brie pressed sandwich it was excellent!!!

Review №66

My favorite coffee shop in Asheville! I recently tried a different coffee shop closer to my home and was sorely disappointed, so now I will always make the drive to come to Ultra… Because the people who work there really make the experience, they are always friendly and energized and working as a team, even when there is the longest line out the door during a weekend rush, they still keep it together and with a smile on their face. I always feel uplifted once I’ve been there, and they always do my order perfectly. The food is amazing, the drinks are delicious, but it is the people who really make this coffee shop a welcoming home. And they have good taste in music too! Always a dance party, never a bad day. 5,000 stars.

First rate well prepared, properly seasoned sandwiches, decent coffee and a selection of deserts. Breakfast entrees are available as is a vegan menu.This is all self service during the pandemic. There are several outdoor tables and the WiFi service is widely taken advantage of.It is dog friendly and refills on coffee are only a buck. A likeable and popular spot with friendly service.
