Friendly staff and good food options. Gluten free options are available. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich special. It can get very busy at peak time for lunch.

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!

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!

We were in town for the Holiday weekend, New Years. Looking for New Year brunch options. This location came up on a search. Even though they were very busy the food and service were amazing. The gluten free pancakes were outstanding!
