Discover the Charm of Bridge & Tunnel Coffee - Cafe & Roastery

Nestled within the bustling Coman Student Activity Center in Asheville, NC, Bridge & Tunnel Coffee is not just a cafe; it's a vibrant community hub that welcomes all coffee lovers and food enthusiasts. With a focus on inclusivity, this spot proudly offers an exquisite menu of options for everyone, including numerous vegan selections.

A Symphony of Flavors

The heart and soul of Bridge & Tunnel Coffee lies in its diverse and enticing menu. Coffee aficionados can indulge in their signature Cafe Con Miel, a beautifully crafted espresso drink harmoniously blended with honey and steamed milk, harmoniously topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon (US$7.50). For those who enjoy a creamier touch, the Cappuccino (US$6.50) is a double shot of medium roast espresso, enveloped in perfectly steamed milk and silky foam, served in an intimate 8oz cup.

If you’re searching for a breakfast that packs a punch, the Big Breakfast Burrito (US$14.00) is a standout choice. This burrito allows you to choose between vegan or egg fillings, enveloping scrambled eggs or tofu scramble along with cheddar or vegan cheese, seasoned black beans, and a bright avocado crema that will transport you to flavor paradise. And let’s not forget about the Best Breakfast Sammy—a delightful breakfast sandwich that many locals can’t stop raving about!

Bridge and Tunnel was such a fun find on our vacation. We really appreciated all of the vegan options and really enjoyed our BEST breakfast sandwich and the vegan breakfast burrito! The staff was so helpful and friendly, and my dirty chia latte hit the spot!

Great atmosphere with amazing service and people! Love these guys. The food is wonderful with great selections and more each time I come. I love that they have not just a stationary place but the trucks also.

Went back to Bridge & Tunnel today. Best breakfast burrito. So good. Thanks Bobby to you and the team for another great visit. A must visit for breakfast and lunch. Great place to meet up. Shout out also for providing great coffee for a charity event earlier in the week. Great community.

Today I had their new Organic Kale Caesar Salad, and I may order it every time. I could DRINK the dressing!! Even though I love the sandwiches and bagels, this salad is tough to beat! Their ingredients are so well thought out to be "brain food" for students and staff. I can tell the difference with the healthiest ingredients! The owner and staff genuinely care about their customers and it really shows in their menu, cleanliness, prices, and smiles! This local company does so much for our community too. Thanks guys!

Bridge and Tunnel is a welcoming venue with great coffees and food options. Our group meets regularly here and we love it! The large and beautiful back deck is an added bonus on nice days.

This is an addition to my original review and an admission of my error. I agree with the response I received from the management of Bridge & Tunnel Coffee. In retrospect, I should have returned to the service counter and mentioned my perception of the Avocado on Toast to, at least, give the young lady at the counter an opportunity to rectify the situation. If the staff ignored or discounted my complaint I would have justification to write the original review and indicate the on-site response. I do need to state that their Nitro Coffee is incredibly delicious. Original Review: Ordered Avocado on Toasted Sourdough bread. Bread was not toasted at all!! More like whimpy cheap white bread. Avocado was an Avocado Spread that was not eatable. Looked like thro_ _p. They sprinkled some type of something on the spread. Had 1 bite hoping that visual did not represent taste and texture. Result: I threw in garbage. The Nitro cold brew was wonderful. Suggestion: Do not order the food!! Stay with coffee.

My partner and I are so excited for this AMAZING addition to Asheville! We were here this morning and were blown away by the creativity and deliciousness of the bbq tempeh sandwich. We also had a nuts over chocolate smoothie that was the perfect texture and level of sweetness. The muffins were also sooooo good!!! The art on the walls is really cool, the atmosphere felt open and bright, and the staff had some of the best energy we’ve encountered. Their dedication to serving the community healthy and tasty food brightened our spirits more than words can express. Thank you for all the love and devotion you have all put into this awesome cafe!
