We buy some of the finest green coffee beans available and roast them off-site on an American-made Diedrich roaster. As roasters, we deeply respect farmers’ dedication to excellence and sustainability, and we strive to honor their hard work by carefully developing each harvest’s optimal flavors. As baristas, we are invested in brewing coffee that showcases nature’s genius and in sharing it meticulously and enthusiastically with you. As community members, we strive to forge rich connections and to provide a third place that fosters creative interaction and supports the vitality of this beautiful place. We're located in the quaint downtown historic district of Black Mountain and offer delectable homemade pastries (GF options), fresh fruit smoothies, and coffee frappes in addition to all of the traditional espresso-based beverages.

If you’ve spotted new retail bags popping up or a unique flavor in your morning cup, we are finally here to introduce you to something really special.

Whether you’ve tasted it or not, our newest offering of Haitian coffee is here, and has been for a few weeks.

Notes of Hibiscus, Milk Chocolate, & Raisin ☕️

Our coffeehouse roastery has made our very first direct trade sale with a Haitian association called Ameris Coffee Importers. We are very excited to be a part of elevating Haitian coffee and importers as they grow over the global map & in the coffee trading world.

We’d love to share more about this coffee with you in store, stop in to ask any of our baristas about it, and for a taste of it yourself! 🤝

The cat’s away in Seattle where specialty coffee is hailed to have been born. But I can tell you that you won’t find better latte art here than you’ll find at home. Drip baristas pour some of the most beautiful drinks anywhere in the country. Enjoy this melange of gorgeous drinkable art poured by managers from all five stores. 😍 Who pours your art?

Cold enough to throw on a jacket, but warm enough to enjoy an iced drink outside. Loving the fall weather & the Caramel Apple Latte (created by our Drip South barista Jaid)!! 🍎🍂
Swipe to see what goes in this yummy drink!
And yes the maple cream cheese cold foam is as good as it sounds, maybe even better. 🤭

Our take on the ghost trend from 2020 because it is officially October!! 👻🎃 Our café ghosts are enjoying the October menu, and something tells us that you will too.

Swipe to see the drinks that are staying AND the drink we brought back. 😉 *Hint* It has something to do with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. 🧡🪄

Here is your reminder that all of our stores are available to rent event space after hours! Holiday/company parties, birthdays, engagements, baby showers, & on the off chance you just want to throw a party just because, we are here! 🫶

Events would need to take place after 6:30pm and will require that we keep a barista on the floor to chaperone and/or craft espresso beverages. Bartending services are available (and wonderful) for an extra fee by one of our baristas who has a mobile cocktail business.

Inquiries are by email only at
[email protected]. Please specify the store and the date that interests you, and we will contact you to obtain details. 🥰

Finally feeling a little like fall in the mornings! Time to head to the pumpkin patch with a Smashing Pumpkin in hand. 🎃😉

Back to introducing some of our lovely baristas! One of the beautiful thing about local coffee shops is the relationship built between barista and regular. For those who don’t frequent Dripolator South and have never had the pleasure of talking with Clara, here are some things she would like you all to know (besides how amazing she is at making a matcha 😝)!

Clara is a new york-born, carolina-raised UNCA grad, who has been with dripolator for 3 months! In her time away from the drip, she’s a musician/ music teacher all around the asheville area, and just released her first EP 🥰! (If you like the song attached to the photo, you need to listen to the rest of her album!! This is Lucky Stars by Blithe 😚) Her favorite part of her day is handing out personalized pup-cup deliveries, and she’s been loving the comfy cozy vibe at Dripolator South ❤️! She is so excited to get to know everybody (and their dog!!) at the shop more and more every day :)))
Say hey to Clara next time you’re in store & make sure to support local artists (and maybe catch her at her next show🫶)!
