About

The crowd at Firestorm Books is a mix of locals and visitors who appreciate independent literature and a good cup of coffee. This worker-owned cooperative in Asheville's West Asheville neighborhood has been running since 2008 without bosses or supervisors. Decisions are made by consensus, and every worker-owner shares the duties. The shop specializes in artisan coffee and offbeat, underground books you won't find elsewhere in the region.

It's a family-friendly space with outdoor seating, free wifi, and a casual vibe. The menu uses organic and fairly traded ingredients. Stop by on a weekday morning for a quieter experience; weekends draw more of a crowd. The cooperative model means the staff are invested in making your visit great.
