The Rhu, from Rhubarb's John Fleer, is a cafe, bakery and pantry that celebrates local foods and producers. Serving breakfast and lunch, The Rhu is the perfect place to grab a cup of locally roasted coffee and a Croissant on your way to work, meet a friend for a leisurely lunch overlooking beautiful Church St, savor a cup of tea and a fruit danish over a book in the afternoon, buy a loaf of house made Sourdough Levain and Looking Glass Creamery fromage blanc for your dinner party or pick up a locally handcrafted cutting board for a birthday present.

From breakfast to lunch to everything in between, we offer unique takes on classic meals, all crafted with local ingredients. Explore our menu.

Let The Rhu pack a picnic for you to enjoy on a scenic Asheville vista. We offer a variety of different picnic options, or build your own custom picnic!

The Rhu is proud to highlight many local and regional ingredients in partnership with local vendors. Check out some of the artisanal producers we feature at the rhu.
