A cool store in the midst of all the bustle of downtown. A great place to grab a snack or cool off with a drink. They’ve also got tons of novelty and gift items.

Oh my stars and Mars bars and all the best vibes! You guys, so much fun. Fantastical humans who own and operate the joint. Also, go to Sparky's toy store in West Asheville, ASAP. ??

Wow, what a spot to visit! I recommend dropping in for a drink on tap, or just a snack and souvenir. Chiara took care of me and my wife tonight and we completely lost track of 2 hours of our time. Not only did we enjoy learning about the area we already planned our next trip back to Ashville, NC. This was hospitality at its finest!

Great hidden gem in downtown Asheville. I was on my way to Asheville Chocolate and saw this shop right next door. Couldn't help but stop in. They have a little bit of everything- beer, wine, local gifts. Self care products etc. they also have a small bar area. I didn't stay for a drink but I did buy a sparkling white single can for later on. Nice friendly service and reasonable prices. Would definitely return!

One of my favorite places in DTAVL! Great spot for those working & living DT to grab some snacks and such. They have a great variety of snacks to choose from. You can find an array of packaged sandwiches and salads and protein snacks to grab for lunch.They have a great selection of packaged beer and a nice small wine selection as well. You can also enjoy a glass or pint at the bar.Lots of local provisions. You can grab those drugstore necessities too.Be sure to check out the gift and toy selection in the back.Great service too!

I daresay this is the quintessential "what you'd expect" novelty store one would find in Asheville. It was my first time to the Paris of the South, as they call it, and we were only passing through, stopping for lunch. We decided to walk around a little bit and explore. We landed here and what can I say? Charmed. I thought I had seen it all, but a Bardega? That's a portmanteau that I can get behind. There's specialty snacks, like single batch popcorn with truffle dust (I may have made that up, but you get my drift), little sections with things you need to stock your AirBNB bar and kitchen (weirdly enough, typical groceries like instant Kraft mac and cheese), a fridge section with pies of the day. And then you land at the bar! It reminds me of a modern day drugstore, the kind of place that George Bailey worked as a child, only instead of soda jerks and ice cream sundaes, you get specialty cocktails and wine. Head to the back for all kinds of gifts, tea towels, candles, games, home decor etc. I loved it so much after a quick perusal on my own, I took my husband in for a look when he came out of the pawn shop next door. I really appreciate their business plan. I love the idea of being able to hit up one shop for conveniences, gifts and then taking a break from my day with a cocktail.

Awesome place. Great local craft beer to try at the inside bar. Many many tchotchkes to buy. Great store for gifting. Jordan will totally hook you up, he’s a beer aficionado. A++

Need some Funyuns or a pre-made sandwich? Awesome. They've got that. How about a soft drink or a beer? No problem. A tote bag to carry all the cool gifts you are going to find in the back of the store? Fabulous, choose your favorite. AND DID WE MENTION THE MIMOSA FLIGHTS? Consider them mentioned, and don't leave without ordering one (or three). An amazing storefront concept with the friendliest and most fun staff of any we experienced in Asheville. Owners Becky and Matt will make you feel right at home and Andrew at the bar will have you rolling off the stool with laughter. Go. Just go.

Super great place to hangout while waiting for a table at a restaurant in downtown . Super cute fun snacks and trinkets to shop while you’re there . Very clean and great atmosphere.
