Confession : I’m addicted to caffeine. I can’t start my day without a piping hot cup of coffee with cream and two sugars. Honestly, I don’t understand how people don’t drink coffee. The taste, the smell, the caffeine. But having a coffeemaker and going to a coffeehouse are two totally different experiences. As a freelance writer, my desk is usually at a local coffeehouse, but finding the perfect one can be a serious challenge.
Between atmosphere, beans, selections, and caffeine…these ten are the best in North Carolina.

Located in the awesome 7th Street Market, this little coffee bar serves up some serious caffeine. They specialize in 'pourover' coffee, which involves boiling hot water, freshly ground beans, and a filter. The hot water is poured over the coffee for around four minutes and then your fresh brew is served right up. Sure, you'll have to wait but it's worth it. They also make some beautiful latte art. The 'coffee bar' is pretty packed on a weekend morning, but you can't beat the experience or the freshness of the coffee.
It doesn't get much more Asheville than solar panels on the roof, but hey, anything goes in this city. Green Sage was voted as a local favorite for hangouts and organic coffee. I think it's safe to say Green Sage is the ideal environment to finish that novel you're working on. They also offer breakfast goodies, wraps and sandwiches.
