Wonderful place! They have beautiful outdoor seating in an outside garden with a very earthy and eco friendly atmosphere. The food I had was absolutely delicious! It was the perfect amount and it was chock full of flavor! I'm disappointed I live in another state because I wanted to try every item on their menu!!! If I'm ever in Asheville again I'll for sure be coming back to try more things. On top of the healthy and delicious food the service and staff were very respectful and friendly.

I visited here twice when I was in town. When your friend says their blueberry sourdough pancakes would be her "death meal", you make a point to try it! The service was friendly and welcoming. I asked if their chai was pre-made and they said it was, but it was from a local tea brewer, not boxed from the store. I also asked if it was pre-sweetened, which it was... And normally I would not have a chai that is from concentrate especially when presweetened; but, the staff told me it was more spicy than sweet and I'm glad I ordered it. It was a very flavorful and not too sweet chai. I also ordered the sourdough pancake. It was cooked in a cast iron pan and crispy on the exterior... Very different and intriguing! It was cooked with fresh blueberries in it and it was topped with some sea salt and butter with a side of real maple syrup. I enjoyed the flavor and the crispness of the pancake. However, since it was cooked in the cast iron in butter, it was a bit too buttery for me even with taking off the cut of butter that came on top. (Note: I typically do not put any butter on pancakes.) Also, parts of it were still a little doughy for me. All in all though, I liked that it was a very different pancake than I've ever had before and I would eat it again. They offer indoor and outside seating as well as take out.

Everything you've read about the sourdough pancake is true. Actually, it might not be possible to describe the experience in detail that'll do justice to this perfect concoction. I would consider leaving Florida and moving to Asheville just to be able to visit Liberty House on a regular basis. The cafe itself is small but cozy, and has an excellent outdoor area. It was way too cold to sit outside during our visit but seats opened up quickly in the indoor area. The staff was awesome, they love their job and do it well. The coffee was strong, flavorful and hit the spot. Can they freeze and ship a batch of the sourdough pancakes to me in Florida? No seriously, let's work on making this a possibility, PLEASE!

This place is known for its pancakes and I kid you not these are just the best pancakes I've ever had... seriously. Their sourdough pancake is just the best and is fluffy in the inside and crispy on the outside. Pair that with their maple syrup and you're sent to heaven pretty quick. They also have a roasted duck dish on a cast iron that tastes extremely good and PRO TIP is to add a little maple on the duck and you're GOLDEN!!! one of the best brunches I've had recently. The outside area is also filled with families, dogs and couples. It has a nice atmosphere and is great on a sunny day. Super dog friendly and enjoyed the heaters as well. Half the service is self service as they deliver it to you but you clean up after yourself and place it in the bucket when you're done eating.

Super sweet people in a super sweet location. I love that it's very cozy. Even though it was winter, it was warm enough to sit outside. They have a nice little back area. All of the baked goods look delicious. I especially love the little tart with berries on top. There's cinnamon rolls great. My only regret is that I never had a pancake because I know they're famous for them. I got some cold brew which is unlike me, but it was a very welcome and delicious surprise. All of the staff was incredibly friendly. I like that there were plenty of dogs on the porch too.

I arrived from out of town, in need a jolt of caffeine + some food, and some fresh air. This spot hit the trifecta. When I first went in and saw indoor seating capacity at, like, 12, I was a bit worried. However, they have a huge outdoor area that has heaters and ample seating for the time of day I visited. Not only ample seating, but great vibes with friendly folks, and even a neighborhood chicken pecking around for scraps. I ordered a simple black coffee that was good, if not a tad light on flavor. My mind was telling me to get the avocado toast and eggs, but I saw a picture of their sourdough pancake and and my stomach took over all decision making. This thing was insane -- fluffy and light on the inside, borderline fried in butter on the outside, with fresh blueberries bursting within. YUM. It's almost hard to have memorable pancakes but this one was, and was up there with one I had on Bar Harbor Island in Maine for top tier. The only knock was that I was eager to get some work done but alas, they don't have WiFi. I could've probably researched better, but I was a bit bleary and ready to just find a spot. All in all, I would recommend this and I'm so glad to have found it.

A friend that lives locally recommended the spot to us and it did not disappoint. They didn't have a wait list per se but you wait in a line at the front door and are seated as tables become available. I personally enjoyed looking at their plants and vegetables planted out front while we waited. We ordered a scone to munch on while we waited since we had coffee earlier and our tummies were rumbling. My husband ordered the quiche and toast and I had avocado toast and ordered a side of bacon. Anytime I can order bacon and not have to cook it myself as a win! The food was simple but very tasty. Great service and just a nice vibe overall. Which has to sit in door to enjoy the air conditioning since we would be outside the rest of the day but there was seating outside and inside and readily available.

This location definitely has a following as the doors never stopped after we came in around 11 AM on a Saturday. Located right next-door to Asheville's yoga center. This location offers multiple brunch and breakfast style options. There is a lot of outdoor seating so perfect place to enjoy the beautiful weather and also bring your pet along. My husband got the buttermilk pancakes with a side of scrambled eggs and a side of bacon with coffee. The coffee is strong but easily tempered with some cream and sugar. The pancake is burleed with beautiful, blueberries, giving it a crunch, but a sweetness when you take a bite. The eggs we asked to be hard scrambled and they did a great job with not burning them. Usually when we order scrambled eggs hard they come back burnt. These were perfect! We also opted to add cheese to our scrambled eggs as well. Bacon was good as well - a little thin. A side order of bacon only comes with two pieces. I opted for the quiche, which comes served like a pie slice very thick with beautiful tomatoes, and a nice crust on the top. It also comes with a small side salad with a light vinaigrette dressing, which was very tasty.
