    Our favorite coffee spot, High Five on the French Broad River in Woodfin, NC, was burned down this morning by an arsonist.

    This senseless act has angered me so much. The family who owns this and another location had managed to build the shop back only 10 months ago, after losing it during hurricane Helene in September 2024. We have been so very happy to have it back.

    We're trying to see how to reach the owner, and try to do something for their employees.

                    A couple of shots of High Five.

                    We've been taking bags of dog treats and a toy each time we visited for about a month, as since this is Asheville, the baristas usually have their dogs there, and so do many customers.

                    It's where I dropped off the packages of Ice Alert whistles I'd put together for 2-3 months.

                    I can't believe it's gone again.

                        This is horrible. The poor owners! I read the article and saw they’d just rebuilt. I remember your previous posts about how much you liked this spot 💔

                                      Our favorite coffee spot, High Five on the French Broad River in Woodfin, NC, was burned down this morning by an arsonist.

                                      This senseless act has angered me so much. The family who owns this and another location had managed to build the shop back only 10 months ago, after losing it during hurricane Helene in September 2024. We have been so very happy to have it back.

                                      We're trying to see how to reach the owner, and try to do something for their employees.

                                      @czarbucks The need some people have to destroy things is mind boggling.

                                        Just awful. May they come back even stronger than ever. 😔

                                          Thank you, these poor people! I truly hope they manage it... again.
