Lovely little grocery store and deli, right in the neighborhood. It’s got a small selection of groceries, but a great place to pick up snacks, beer, kombucha, cheese, crackers, chocolate and other food items. They also have a really good deli with breakfast and lunch to go or outside eating.

Food scene
This local diner is literally right around the corner from us. Great option if you want to hang out right in Fairview and not have to drive to Asheville for food. It’s better than average diner food, with breakfast, lunch and dinner available. Good burgers. I like the Turkey Reuben too! Good veggie options as well. Inside and outside seating.
