Free coffee! Free chocolate! Live music! Ponies! Join us on Thursday, May 31st to celebrate our fourth anniversary. (OK, no ponies, but we are hosting one of our favorite bands, Tina & Her Pony.)

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!
