Kafe Neo Espresso Bar

kafe neo espresso bar does one thing and does it seriously: espresso. not a rotating cast of novelty drinks, not an identity built around atmosphere. the focus is narrow, and that's exactly why it works. you'll find this place tucked inside the antique tobacco barn on swannanoa river road, which is a strange and wonderful address for a coffee bar, a cavernous repurposed warehouse on the eastern edge of asheville. the regulars here are loyal in the way people get when they stop looking around for something better. that kind of following doesn't come from convenience alone. come for the espresso, straight or pulled short, and let swannanoa river road surprise you a little on the way out.
