Vegan Breve – Best fancy coffee drink in Asheville

January 22nd, 2011
Firestorm Cafe

Once a week or so, I go out for a fancy coffee drink. For a while, it was a soy latte, or almond milk latte if it was available.*

During a visit to Firestorm Cafe in Asheville, I ordered a latte and the girl taking my order suggested I try a “vegan breve”. She explained that a regular breve is made with half-and-half. The VEGAN breve at Firestorm is made with almond milk and coconut creme. Of course I agreed to try that instead and it was the most delicious coffee drink ever, by far.

I like the breve so much that I started drinking them 3 or 4 times a week. I’ve had to consciously limit myself to only one per week. “Breve Friday” I call it.

As far as I know, Firestorm is the only place in town that serves vegan breves. You have 2 options. Their “Coconut Creme Breve” is listed on their menu. It’s what I described above but also has syrups in it for flavor. I hate syrups in my food, so I specifically ask for a vegan breve without the syrups. Or I should say, I used to ask for that. Now I just tell them “I’ll have the usual.”

* Note: Those who have known me for a long time, know that I used to really eschew coffee in all forms, so this may seem like an odd statement.  What can I say – life takes weird turns sometimes.

    Sounds good. I remember when I went to Arizona after years of not drinking coffee, I got hooked on the Starbuck’s Mocha Frappachino. I would get one for me and one for Cindy (post baby) every grocery trip. I would still be hooked if there was a Starbucks in Hancock and I knew someone who would bring one to me.

    Oh my word I have to try this….I also was hooked on breves at SB years ago. I wonder how this will work on black tea? So it’s just equal parts almond milk and coconut cream?

    Any time, Meg. I love FireStorm!

    I don’t know for sure the ratio, but half almond / half coconut cream would be my guess.

    Heya! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I needed to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours take a massive amount work?
    I am completely new to writing a blog however I do write in my journal on a daily basis.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my own experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or
    tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    At this time it sounds like WordPress is the top blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    What you posted was very reasonable. But, think about this,
    what if you added a little content? I am not suggesting your information isn’t good,
    however what if you added a post title that makes people desire more?
    I mean vegangirl.com » Blog » Vegan Breve – Best fancy coffee drink in Asheville
    » is a little boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and note
    how they create post titles to grab viewers to
    click. You might add a video or a pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve written. Just
    my opinion, it might bring your website a little bit more interesting.

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get irked while
    people consider worries that they just don’t know about. You managed
    to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole
    thing without having side effect , people could take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
