Asheville Biscuitry

Yikes, get it together. I walk in and I think it looks as though they are going out of business. Need help with design of the shop to make it more inviting. Sparse, Doughnut mediocre, biscuit falls apart. Staff, deer in headlights. Handled my money and then my doughnut. Yikes again. Space is too big for this type of venue. 1 each little doughnut of their offerings on a huge counter with viewable storage space down below — empty. Menu small print on wall barely readable. I am sorry to say you need help or you will not make it.

Creative but satisfying! Excellent prices. Had Boston cream doughnut (a lot of delicious cream), salted Carmel doughnut (cooked to perfection but will not be everyone’s favorite), frenched toast biscuit and doughnut breakfast — both fabulous! Wish we could have stayed for lunch!

Finally. A great cinnamon roll! The perfect combination of fluffy bread and cinnamon, perfectly raised and not drowned in sugar! Donuts looked great.
Felt a little awkward not knowing where to stand while waiting for my to go order. Felt in the way wherever I stood.
Long line that moved but staff was gracious and hospitable as they handed out donut hole samples.
My wicked chicken biscuit was good — but I’m pretty much a purist when it comes to biscuits. Just biscuit and gravy or egg, bacon and cheese — which they had.
Great value! Excellent food! Just need someone with a great personality to mind the dining room tables and floor.
Will be back !

They have some new-​business growing pains– they kinda messed up my friend’s order, but the owner made up for it. And the chicken biscuits I had were very good. This place is worth checking out.

The Biscuitry is going to have to up their game if they want to stay afloat in the delicious food oasis of Asheville. We went there opening weekend, fully expecting the normal opening weekend slight pandemonium. After a slight delay, we ordered two biscuits (Wicked Chicken and some kind of tempeh meatloaf thing) and two donuts. The guy forgot that we said ‘to go’ twice. We ate our donuts while waiting and watching the line grow ever longer (which was awkward, because there was nowhere for all the waiting people to stand-​we all began standing among tables, which I imagine was somewhat uncomfortable for both the seated people and the waiting ones). To me, yeast risen donuts are disgusting. That will be my first and last time trying them. They were like bland dinner rolls, with a smidge of mediocre coconut cream in the middle. I threw most of mine away. Then, people that were after us in line began getting their food before us. We finally asked what had happened and after more waiting got our food to go. The server who helped us was super nice, which was a plus, and gave us a few glazed donuts to apologize. Those were much better than the first two (coconut cream and Boston cream), maybe because they were dipped in sugar unlike the bland first ones that we had? Anyway, food was very mediocre and kind of boring. I get that this place just opened, but with an overabundance of donut places around town don’t see the point of giving them another chance.

I’ll try again when the kinks are worked out.
Had some to go donuts at the office on Friday and they were all amazing. Not too sweet, good texture. The Boston cream was big and pillowy and packed full of custard.
Went back with the family on Saturday… Whoops. Waited 20 minutes in line and this time the Boston cream was teeny tiny, hard, and had about a tablespoon of custard. There weren’t any tables, leading us to awkwardly hold the plate of donuts, the 2 year old, and the 3 month old while several tables chilled having completed their food. Finally we sat at a huge table in the back that was marked «reserved.» Got sassed at by an employee who told us the group was running late «or maybe no longer coming.» What donut shop /​turn and burn place reserves 3 tables on a Saturday morning for folks who are «maybe no longer coming » ?
We ate our donuts as quickly as possible and got out of there.

Wow… Have you ever had a lemon poppyseed doughnut??? You need to… I have only had doughnuts from this place but so far I’m impressed. The house raised is a super thick square shaped doughnut thats fluffy and moist. The glaze is light and not overly sweet. The lemon poppyseed is amazing. It’s so delicious you better get 2. My hubby likes the star anise flavor. The coconut cream has a yummy filling and a bit more dense of a bite to it, more like a yeast roll. I love that these are local and not a chain. Great staff as well. Yippy… For the north side!!! We needed a good bakery!!!

Great doughnuts, loved the cinnamon roll but the Boston Cream was more like bread. Ordered the Wicked Chicken and it was delicious! Great selection of not your average sodas too. Not some place you would eat every day.

I see a bright future but right now it’s just a little off the great mark. I went in at 11:20, didn’t have to wait long in line and was greeted pleasantly. It was suggested that I try the Wicked Chicken and I did without reading through to the end of the description. My fault, but I thought I was getting a biscuit and I got a savory doughnut D’OH! I also ordered their plain glazed yeast risen doughnut. I think I waited about 5 minutes for my food to arrive and was given a decently sized open face sandwich. The beer batter was nice and crispy but under seasoned. The chicken was juicy but under seasoned. The pimento cheese was well I don’t really remember the pimento cheese except I know it was there so I’m going to say it was under seasoned. The real standout in this sandwich is the beer onion jam, it’s well seasoned and strong in flavor. It was the star in this little gathering to be sure! I thought the doughnut was a yeast roll which isn’t far from the reality, but it didn’t really bring anything to the table except a place to hold the cheese and jam.
The doughnut was a different story, a nice square doughnut with a round hole, lightly glazed and not too sweet or too plain. The dough was a nice balance between dense and light which I enjoyed with a really great flavor. I liked the doughnut a lot.
Just because I needed a biscuit from The Asheville Biscuitry, I ordered a Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit with a side of sausage gravy to go. Again I gotta say it lacked seasoning. I tried the chicken and the breading was very thin and floury. Wouldn’t have crunched even if I’d eaten it there. The biscuit itself was also a bit plain. I gave both a very light dusting of salt and Emeril Lagasse jumped out from behind the door and said BAM! What a difference! Same thing for the sausage gravy which is weird… sausage is usually so salty on it’s own. This was very dairy forward with a light sausage flavor on the back end. Salted and again Emeril Lagasse yelled out BAM!
So after trying a few things I can say the doughnuts are great but simple nothing like Vortex and their long list of complex toppings. The savory food has promise but needs finessing especially when you can litterally walk across the street and get the best fried chicken biscuit in town at Home Grown. Kick it up a notch Asheville Biscuitry, «just alright» doesn’t last long in this town.

I ordered a southern fried chicken biscuit, and one of their house glazed donuts. The chicken was delicious and crispy on the outside, yet moist on the inside. The biscuits are delicious like fluffy on the inside, yet ever so lightly crispy on the outside. Overall my chicken biscuit had and very delicious, southern homestyle elegance to it, while still presenting itself as food from a restaurant that was up to industry-​standard. Prices are reasonable, everything under$ 10dollars, the staff is very friendly. The kitchen manager/​chef was cordial enough to come to our table and ask us about our food. I will definitely have more to add to this review when I get home, but for now all I have to say it’s check this place out before it gets too popular, and treat yourself to their delicious carb-​filledfairs, and maybe even a boylien soda from their fountain.
