Asheville Forager
What you need to know
Asheville Forager is downtown’s new go-to for locals who love good food and a welcoming vibe. It’s more than just a grocery—think bakery, butcher, gourmet deli, and a neighborhood mini-mart packed with local color. Owners Paddy and Heather Collins brought their vision to Wall Street, building a spot where you can grab a killer sandwich, pick up local produce, and snag pastries baked fresh every morning. The secret? Nearly everything is made in-house or sourced from Asheville’s favorite suppliers. The shop is bright and quirky, with clever signs and friendly staff who actually want you to hang out and ask questions. You’ll find daily sandwiches, unique grocery essentials, and some must-try local specialties (like crunchy milk bread and giant deli subs). Asheville Forager also prides itself on sustainability and is working towards being NC’s first TRUE Zero Waste certified grocery.
Local's Tip
Go early for the best baked goods (the croissants don’t last long). The half-size subs are still huge, so bring a friend or plan on leftovers. The deli is open until everything sells out.
What the locals say
Locals love the easy-going energy—no pretension, just great food and neighborly smiles. The sandwiches get rave reviews for flavor and size, and the grocery shelves hold treasures like Lusty Monk Mustard and fresh kombucha made right in the mountains. People appreciate the commitment to local producers and say Asheville Forager has quickly become a must-stop for anyone exploring downtown Asheville and looking for quality eats.
