Izzy's Coffee Den

My wife and I stopped in here recently for a cappuccino prior to our dinner. The environment had a cool vibe. We sat in the arm chairs towards the back of the shop which was enjoyable. I will say the bathrooms have seen better days. There is a reasonable amount of seating, but it may be hard to find a seat in busier times. My cappuccino was decent. It certainly wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was not the worst either. The barista we interacted with was kind of indifferent. There was no dedicated parking, but it's Asheville, so there's parking decks nearby along with street parking.

After being completely ignored by the barrista while standing at the counter for at least 5 minutes with my 2 adult family members, we left. There may have been one other customer, could have been an employee, and us. The barrista seemed to be making coffee at the machine within a few feet of me. There's no way they didn't see me and my family standing there. Not a "hello, be right with you," no smile, no eye contact, nothing. How disappointing after a long day of driving, then shopping. We just wanted to relax with some iced coffee. We were even talking, so I'm sure they could hear us.

Izzy’s downtown Asheville is cozy and we love to come here with our golden retriever Milo. The barista Delilah is amazing, not only she makes the best mochas we’ve ever had, but she’s polite, friendly, and always gives our dog a treat. So why am I leaving 3 Star review? Because sadly the other barista who we don’t know the name (always wears a mask, shoulder length hair, cap and glasses) is the very opposite of that. Insists on serving us on to go cups — even though we come to enjoy coffee and sit — terrible customer service and served me a watery cortado that I had to transfer to the glass I had to insist on getting. It’s sad we can get such a great experience at times and such a bad ones other times. Consistency is what makes a business get regulars and great reviews.

Excellent little coffee shop! Look at their specials chalkboard at the front. Mellow and low key on a Wednesday afternoon. Matcha special was phenomenal.

Hole in the wall coffee place that can be hard to miss but hard to forget. Super chill vibes, lowkey atmosphere and nice lighting. Great for a first coffee date or catching up with an old friend. Love the setup with tables and decor. Freshly roasted coffee beans as well for sale. Barista was super friendly and cool guy. La Marzocco espresso machine as well; you know they take their coffee seriously. Full bodied dark roast espresso was delicious; lots of heavy notes and deep flavor throughout. Also open fairly late (past 5 pm) for a coffee shop, which is a plus. If you need a quick evening coffee, this is the place to check out.
