coffee houses/ tea houses

Dynamite Coffee Roasters. Right on the river! Dynamite Coffee Roasters (try the Suplicar Clemencia if you like a dark roast 😉) Right on Riverside just a 30 second drive pass French Broad Outdoor School and then turn into industrial park. This is my absolute favorite coffee shop because its right on the river!!! It’s a very special place. You can bring your hammock or blanket and enjoy lounging here.

very zen place to come sit on zafus and sip gourmet world teas. - 5 mins away downtown or West Asheville (full menu at west location). Best world teas in a traditional tea house atmosphere. You can sit in the back on tradition floor zafus if you want a very grounding, relaxing experience. I loooove this place for delicious teas in my favorite quiet, ambient environment.

From the website: Whitewater Falls is a stunningly beautiful, multi-drop cascading waterfall near Cashiers, NC and the South Carolina state line. It’s a gorgeous waterfall, and well worth the half-mile (round trip) hike to view a 400+ foot cascade. The hike trails a short, paved stretch of the Foothills Trail through a wildflower-filled forest, and catches some stunning views of Lake Jocassee nestled in the rolling surrounding mountains. Mid-hike, the trail scores its first views of the upper waterfall before descending a set of wooden stairs to catch a closer, wider view of the waterfall. It’s a relatively easy, short and family-friendly hike. And the picnic area near the trailhead makes a great post-hike snack spot set in a rocky, shady forest.

If you’re into a little hike I recommend the balsam nature trail that you can access from the parking lot at the top. It leads right to the pinnacle if you follow it and I feel like you’re in a fairy land lots of pine trees and moss.
