The Hungry Bear Cafe is a delightful spot tucked away in Asheville. I stopped by for breakfast and was blown away by their biscuit sandwich - it was heavenly! The casual vibe and charming decor made for a cozy dining experience. I also tried the fried okra as a side which was a wonderful throwback to comfort food. The friendly, albeit busy, staff made me feel right at home. I’ll definitely return for lunch to sample their famous Big Boy burger! 🐻
