Open Oven sits in Black Mountain, opened in 2019 by owners Steve and Stephanie Paulson, who have called the area home for over 20 years. When they're not with their two daughters, they're often found baking bread and serving coffee alongside their team.
The kitchen and bakery make almost everything from scratch, sourcing whole, simple ingredients without additives whenever possible. The menu covers breakfast, brunch, and lunch, with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options included.
Open Oven describes itself as small, casual, and intimate — a place built around familiar faces behind the counter. The Paulsons also run a gourmet grilled cheese food truck that frequently sets up at New Belgium in Asheville.
