Best Gelato in Biltmore

"Sunshine Sammies brings Asheville delectable cookie and ice cream sandwich combos to residents and visitors, alike, 7 days a week. Yes, you can build your own sandwich, and they also have some classic combos like cookie dough ice cream between chocolate chip cookies and salted carmel ice cream between chocolate cookies. Seasonally, Sunshine Sammies will mix up their small-batch ice cream flavors so that you can try flavors like Blueberry Basil, Key Lime, or get a little wild with “Corn Dog.” Gluten or dairy allergies?"

"With the weather warming up, Sunshine Sammies is a great place for a delicious sweet treat. Enjoy their handcrafted, small batch ice cream in creative seasonal and classic flavors. You can order in cups, pints or cookie sandwiches and eat at the comfort of an inviting front porch or one of the other shady spots in the yard of many of our B&Bs, such as Sweet Biscuit Inn."

"If ice cream sandwiches are your jam, then you’re going to love Sunshine Sammies. They make all their sweet treats using locally sourced ingredients and seasonal fare whenever possible. On their menu, you’ll find pints of ice cream in nearly every flavor, including their ever-popular blueberry basil, plus loads of ice cream sandwiches."

"While most often sited as the best ice cream shop in Asheville, The Hop Ice Cream Cafe also does specialty ice cream cakes. We adore their creative vegan flavors, which are made with unique seed and nut milks like hemp milk and sunflower seed milk. These are clever alternatives to standard almond milk or coconut milk based ice creams (though those options are also available)."

"The shop has even been featured on The Cooking Channel’s show Unique Sweets, and it was named as one of the 12 best ice cream shops in America by the Huffington Post!. They’re known for their handcrafted dairy and vegan ice creams, sorbets, and specialist desserts. You will find flavors that you have never imagined, and won’t find anywhere else, here!"

"Premium quality Ice Cream homemade with love in Asheville, NC since 1978. Dairy, Vegan, Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Local Goat Milk Ice Cream & Sorbet Flavors. Milkshakes, sundaes, smoothies & desserts."

"The former social workers behind Ultimate Ice Cream decided that they could do the most good for the Asheville community by opening an ice cream shop — and after just one visit, you’ll agree that they’ve succeeded in this lofty mission. The Ultimate menu is divided into categories such as “always” (featuring such standards as fresh strawberry and salted caramel) and “sometimes” (including unique options such as blue cheese caramel swirl and goat cheese Bing cherry). Many visitors go straight for the boozy options, which infuse whiskey, spiked cider, and other alcoholic beverages."

"Two Asheville social workers started Ultimate Ice Cream as a way to spread happiness in the community. Owners Kevin and Lucia Barnes have kept philanthropy in mind with programs such as the Flavor of the Month program in which a portion of sales benefits a different area non-profit organization each month. They are also known for their “Random Acts of Ice Cream” when they show up seemingly out of nowhere to serve free ice cream to people in the community."

"This is a cute Little ice cream shop that's tucked away in a corner of a strip mall, but definitely shines. The ice cream is delicious and they have..."

"Made fresh daily, Whit’s Frozen Custard offers a unique twist on the classic ice cream experience. Try a seasonal flavor of their signature frozen custard or experiment with one of their legendary “Whitties”– a cookie ice cream sandwich with frozen custard in the middle, rolled in various crunchy toppings like crushed butterfingers. ^ These are charming local delicacies known for their super creamy texture."

"A post shared by Melissa @ She Roams About (@sheroamsabout) on Jul 10, 2019 at 12:48pm PDT. The frozen custard at Whit’s is still made with the same pure ingredients as custard was centuries ago: cream, eggs and sugar. Frozen custard is considered thick, smooth and creamy."

"If you have never tried frozen custard, you’re in for a real treat!. It is like ice cream, only it is creamier and full of flavor. Whit’s is the place to go for it."

"Asheville Chocolate is one of the only places in town that hand dips all of their chocolate, and that extra effort can definitely be tasted. In addition, these guys are the ones who supply all the chocolate to the Biltmore Estate- so they are very busy hand-rolling chocolatiers!. Owner Melissa explains to our food tours that hand dipping their chocolate allows that perfect crisp as you bite into their truffles."

"A post shared by Maranda (@marandaaaaa23) on Aug 10, 2018 at 6:58am PDT. After a day of exploring downtown Asheville, savor the house-made gelatos and sorbettos at Asheville Chocolate in downtown. The shop serves classic Italian flavors such as Stracciatella Gelato and Lemon Sorbetto alongside its own creations such as Smore’s Gelato and Blueberry Lavender Sorbetto."

"Hours: Sunday & Monday 12pm-6pm, Wednesday & Thursday 10am-10pm and Friday & Saturday 10am-11pm (Closed Tuesdays). (formerly Chocolate Gems) offers handcrafted truffles, local gelato and decadent drinks. https://www.avlchocolate.com"

"Greg and Ashley Garrison's newest location in the Highland Brewing-anchored S&W Market will work somewhat like a festival setup in that it will be built for speed. Still, it will have all of the milkshakes, ice cream sundaes and everything else you would expect a homespun Asheville ice cream store to have. The downtown Hop will carry beloved staples like salted caramel, since you're probably wondering."

"The Hop is an institution in Asheville — it’s one of the oldest ice cream shops in town. The Hop opened in 1978 in a converted former gas station on Merrimon Avenue. Its modern era began in 2008 when University of North Carolina Asheville alumni couple Greg and Ashley Garrison bought the shop."

"Formerly known as Tastee Freeze, The Freeze of Asheville is an unassuming little spot is well-known by locals, who flock here during the summer for both soft-serve and hand-scooped ice cream. The specialty desserts are both creative and indulgent, with favorites adding candy such as Snickers or Reese’s. The Boston Shake is a unique find worth ordering, as it defies expectations by placing a sundae on top of an already delicious shake."

"Located inside an old gas station, the Brew Pump is home to a large beer garden and often a scheduled food truck on site. The outdoor area also houses games and ample seating for the perfect pit stop along your travels."

"Make a fascinating visit to the Asheville Museum Of Science on Downtown Asheville’s Patton Avenue. The museum may be small, but it has some powerful interactive exhibits which will blow any visitor away. Step inside the Hurricane Simulator and feel the full force of a storm or create rain in the French Broad River Water table display before getting up close to the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a robot used to explore Mars."

"The Asheville Museum of Science is a great spot for all ages, especially kids. The French Broad River Water Table is a big hit, as are the Southern Appalachian Forest play space and Hurricane Simulator. We included the Asheville Museum of Science among our favorite kids museums in North Carolina!"

"If the weather isn’t cooperating, other Asheville-area activities that could fill an afternoon include a trip to the Asheville Museum of Science (43 Patton Avenue), or a tour of Asheville’s 50 breweries. The Wicked Weed Brewpub (91 Biltmore Avenue) offers free tours."
