The absolute best hamburger ever!! The gluten free wrap didn’t fall apart and was so wonderful. The selections of dessert’s was amazing and had some gluten free options. Cute outdoor seating by a creek, and a Lego collection to look at rounded out a perfect stop.

A lucky horse shoe find!
Cognative Café!
From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and helpful staff who truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it’s clear that this place is run with heart and intention as a community favorite.
The coffee options are incredible, espresso, cortado, lattes, or prefer a simple drip, they’ve got something for everyone. They proudly brew Cooperative Coffee, which makes it even better knowing your cup supports ethical sourcing. If coffee isn’t your thing, no worries—the fridge is fully stocked with a wide variety of non-coffee beverages, and their tea selection is just as impressive.
Their food menu is impressive, hearty sandwiches to fresh baked goods, there’s a wide selection to choose from, and they even offer plenty of gluten-free options, which is a huge plus.
You can tell the staff is creative, and they’ve put a lot of thought into their offerings.
The space itself is clean, bright, and completely handicap accessible, which I truly appreciate. The restrooms are spotless, and there’s fast, reliable WiFi, making it the perfect spot to work or relax.
Overall, Cognative Café is so much more than a coffee shop, it’s a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant space with top-notch service and quality in every detail.
I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee, a bite to eat, or a cozy place to hang out. Whether you’re meeting a friend, working remotely, or just stopping by for a quick pick-me-up, this place is a five-star experience all the way!
This vibrant spot features a beautiful rooftop dining area and classy decor that create an upscale yet fun ambiance. While known for accommodating gluten-free diets, guests should be aware that gluten-free options and service consistency vary, highlighting the need for improved allergy safety measures.

Just ate at Shine for the second time. The first was a couple of weeks ago for dinner. My daughter and I split the Crab Cake Dinner and the Goat Cheese Salad. It was a fabulous meal! We both loved our dinner!
Today, my husband and I were there at 4:00. They have a different menu for the time in-between lunch and dinner. I had the Bahn Mi sandwich (with a side of gluten-free bread), my husband had the Burger, and we split the Turkey Cobb. The food was exceptional. My sandwich definitely had a kick, and I loved it. The GF bread tasted like Texas toast! My husband scarfed down his burger, so obviously, he enjoyed it! We will make Shine a regular stop when we move to Hendersonville!
This charming cafe offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with outdoor seating under shady trees, perfect for a relaxed brunch. Notably, it features a good variety of gluten-free options, including gluten-free French toast, making it a top choice for gluten-free diners seeking a delightful experience.

I had the monkey bread. Expected it to be dry and hard. It was not. I REALLY enjoyed it. My wife had a gluten free ginger cookie. It was GREAT! She has an espresso and a drip. I had an Americano. All very good.

Yummy little Italian restaurant with a full bar and extensive beer and wine list. I had the trout with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. It was prepared nicely, but the broccoli had zero seasoning so I held back a star. Being a gluten-free person always on the hunt for pizza that doesn't hurt, I didn't have that option here. No biggie. Very comfortable place to have dinner with a friend. The broken brick work on the wall was in the shape of Italy. Clever! All of the ladies that were serving or hosting were really helpful and prompt. I'll happily go back when in Hendersonville.

Really cute place, with a pleasant laid back atmosphere. Decided to take a chance on the chai and it was excellent, not the sweet nonsense that Starbucks serves. My husband got a latte. Being hardcore espresso drinkers we thought the taste was a little light and asked for more coffee but otherwise it was good. (Plant-based milk too) We also got something out of the pastry cabinet. I have celiac and they even had gluten-free items. There was a couple there singing '70s songs. That was really nice. We would definitely come back.
