| - We were searching for a little coffee shop and bakery type place before beginning our drive home after a mini-vacation in Asheville. The coffee shop we really enjoyed the day before didn't open until later (so strange for a coffee shop imo!), so we searched for something outside of the city so we wouldn't need to contend with parking meters and/or finding parking. And, this place definitely didn't have those kind of city problems!
Mountain Mojo is really a cute little cabin near Asheville. I was surprised by the exterior, but it seemed fitting for this charming little shop. There is local art on the walls, comfy couches, and some table seating inside and out. There's not a huge selection of baked goods, but they do seem to try to have vegan or gluten free items available. The winning food item we purchased was probably the homemade granola which was a yogurt granola. After convincing my kiddo the banana bread was actually cake, she enjoyed that too.
The coffee is good, much better than hotel coffee would have been in the morning (the sad hotel breakfast and desire for something quick is what prompted our search in the first place!). It wasn't as good as the coffee we had the day before, but still did the job.
The service was friendly and efficient here too.
Overall, it's a fine coffee shop. It's not one I'd go out of my way to get a cup of coffee from though. But, if I were local to the area and wanted to sort of get away from things, this would be an ideal escape spot for the coziness, remoteness, and relaxed atmosphere.
