Plantbar: A TASTE-Test Review!
Nestled inside Asheville Dispensary, just a quick hop from downtown, Plantbar isn’t your typical coffee or juice shop—it’s a calm, plant-filled space that also offers specialty, zero-proof cocktails, good hangs, and a great spot to WFH from! They have bagels, live music, and all different types of coffee and tea, including boba- and you can request an add in- though i got my drinks without so I can’t speak to the nano cannibis infusion, however I know the staff is very knowledgeable about it all!
Whether you're seeking a specialty coffee, a zero-proof cocktail, or a matcha latte with adaptogens, this spot brings intention and creativity to every cup. And with a 4.9-star average on Google, it’s clear Plantbar has already earned a loyal following.
The Experience
Think light-filled interiors, houseplants as décor, and a relaxed energy that makes it easy to post up with your laptop or catch up with a friend. The bar is located inside AVL Dispensary—an Asheville-originated wellness shop that offers CBD, herbal blends, and holistic products—so you’re surrounded by a vibe that’s very much focused on slowing down and taking care of yourself.
The drink menu is where things get really interesting. You’ll find everything from espresso classics to creatively named zero-proof cocktails made with non-alcoholic spirits. There are teas, herbal infusions, and seasonal specials that rotate throughout the year. Each drink is crafted with high-quality ingredients, and many come with optional add-ons like CBD, functional mushrooms, or adaptogenic herbs.
It’s the kind of place where you can get your daily matcha, experiment with a house-made botanical soda, or try something new—like their non-alcoholic take on an espresso martini

Extra Tips or Bonuses
- The minimalist design and leafy greenery make it a great place for photos, especially if you’re into aesthetically pleasing latte shots.
-The green drink i’m drinking in the video is a MERTAIL! aka a mocktail but a little different. it’s like a healthier electrolyte drink - imitating the complexity and presentation of craft cocktails but with hydrating ingredients.
- This is not the best place for someone sensitive to the smells of a dispensary. The 2 are combined in one space!
