All Day Darling

This is one of those, Im so glad we came here surprises. My wife, myself and our daughter were passing through town. We wanted something healthy and light to eat. We stopped here. There isnt a sign that we could see, just colorful chairs. We walk in, an the windows are open, the air is fresh, and the scent of espresso and spices draw me to the counter. Outside the doorway, a guitarist is setting up. Inside, a jam band, jazz sort of music is playing. Upbeat with a relaxing vibe. The server at the coffe and juice bar greets us and shows us the menus and points us to where we order. We approach the register and a vibrant young lady gives me good information when I tell her I want something light to eat. We order the Budda bowl, the steak bowl, and a yum yum smoothie. She asks for the name to call when the drink is ready, and tells us to sit wherever we like. The tables are clean. The vibe is enjoyable. Our drink comes and tastes savory, none of the ingredients overpower it. Just the perfect amount of each to make a subtle melody. Shorty after the food arrives. The presentation is great. The flavors are just right. Healthy, light, with just a touch of complexity in the fermented veggie

Absolutely loved All Day Darling. Honestly, this ended up being one of my favorite food spots in Asheville and is definitely on the list of places I’d immediately go back to on a future trip. The food was incredible. Everything we ordered was flavorful, fresh, and very filling. We both got sandwiches, and between the sandwiches themselves and the potatoes, we left completely stuffed in the best way possible. The potatoes especially were so good. As someone with celiac disease, breakfast/brunch places can sometimes make me nervous because there’s often a lot of flour, baked goods, and higher cross-contamination risk in the environment. They do serve both gluten-free and non-gluten-free items here, so I wouldn’t describe it as zero risk, but overall I felt pretty comfortable with the precautions and communication from the staff. They answered questions well, seemed knowledgeable, and I personally was able to eat there safely without getting sick afterward. They also make their own gluten-free bread, which tasted amazing. I decided to skip the baked goods this visit just because there was already so much food and I tend to be a little extra cautious around shared bakery-style setup

Great place for breakfast. I went there about 7am this past Tuesday morning. The lively woman who was the cashier was very nice, friendly, patient, and understanding about my food preferences. Im gluten; dairy and sugar free. She even checked their recipe chart to ensure I could have the garlic aoli which was so nice. It was gluten and dairy free so I was able to annoy that with some Lolita hot sauce with my meal. To keep it gluten; dairy and sugar free I ordered the chicken breakfast biscuit but instead we put jr on gluten free sour dough and made it a grilled chicken. Yall this chicken breast was cooked to PERFECTION. It was huge and juicy. I also got a side of the tater tots and they gave me plenty. I topped it off with a cappuccino with oat milk and they had plenty of stevia packets. All was DELICIOUS. I will definitely be back.

The best breakfast in Asheville! The food, the vibe and the people are awesome. Abby has taken my order several times and has it memorized, she is the best!!! You can’t go wrong with what you order; get the Standard on a biscuit with both bacon and avocado, the beans in the breakfast bowl are to die for, and you can’t go wrong with the all day breakfast.

We stopped by All Day Darling in Asheville for breakfast and it was love at first bite. We’d heard it was Michelin mentioned, so expectations were already pretty high and it absolutely delivered. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and had what can only be described as a minor out-of-body experience with that biscuit. I’m honestly not sure if it qualifies as a biscuit or just a lightly structured butter delivery system, but either way it was melt-in-your-mouth incredible. Everything tasted fresh, rich, and thoughtfully executed... the kind of breakfast that makes you immediately start planning your next visit. If you’re in Asheville and looking for something exceptional to start your day, make sure this place is on your list.
