West End Bakery & Cafe
at 757 Haywood Rd, Asheville
When Cathy and Krista hatched the idea for their business back in 1999, they were inspired by the growing and vibrant neighborhoods of West Asheville and the need for community-oriented walkable businesses. They both share a passion for healthy eating and a commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere where diverse families and neighbors can relax. They try to stay true to their ideals by supporting sustainable agriculture and purchasing directly from local farmers. At the West End Bakery we strive to give back to the community by volunteering with local schools and non-profit organizations to promote healthful eating. We collaborate with organizations like Slow Food Asheville, The North Carolina Organic Bread Flour Project, and Bountiful Cities Project to try to develop sustainable food systems. Our staff take great pride in both the quality of product and of interaction with customers. We value the hard work and creativity of all of our employees and are a Qualified Living Wage Business according to the standards of Just Economics which includes insurance for full time employees. We feel that this family atmosphere is what sets us apart as a unique community business. At the West End Bakery and Cafe, we use 100% organic flour and the freshest ingredients available. Everything served at the West End is made from scratch, and whenever possible we use locally grown produce and organic products. Come for breakfast and stay for lunch!

Each of LAB's beers are crafted onsite in 15 barrel brewhouse. Ingredients for each beer are regionally sourced based upon style. For example, if we are brewing a German style beer, our grain and hops come from Germany. As the craft beer industry grows the industry for pre-beer production, such as maltsters and hop farmers, are growing as well. This means more ingredients are being produced locally. We try to source as often as possible for our American style brews. On the flip-side, we try to give back to local businesses as well. After we are finished mashing our malt, our local LAB farmer uses the spent grain to feed our cattle, which in turn becomes our Ribeye, NY Strip, Filet, French Dip, etc. that we serve in the restaurant. Brewing is a labor of love. The subtleties of each recipe we formulate are a reflection of our obsession. Long-term projects captivate us. As we plant the seed for each brew, we watch it grow into itself to take on its own persona and eventually transcend speech to mingle with your taste buds, putting a stamp on time and place that will forever stick with you.
