Live Music! Sci-Fi Puppet Show! Free Cupcakes! 20% Off All New Books! Join us on Saturday, May 28th to celebrate our recession-defying third anniversary.

Firestorm Cafe & Books isn't just another downtown coffee shop or bookstore. We're a thriving experiment in workplace democracy and community empowerment.

Since we opened in 2008, we’ve sought to maintain an environment in which diverse segments of Asheville can come together to dream, celebrate, relax and rebel. As a worker cooperative, we’re passionately devoted to the success of both our cafe and our city.

Thanks, Asheville, for continuing to support us and our vision of a world without bosses!
