"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."

"As we wrote in our guide to Asheville’s 5 Best Ice Cream Shops, Sunshine Sammies is a downtown ice cream staple where you can craft-your-own boutique ice cream sandwiches, or choose from a menu of pre-fab options. (All of them are great.). The creamery uses its own homemade cookies and housemade ice cream in these ice cream sandwiches."

"Started with a handbuilt solar power pushcart in 2013, Sunshine Sammies quickly made a name for itself in Asheville. Today, the ice cream sandwich maker has a beautiful storefront downtown. Sunshine Sammies is known for its house made ice cream (with an endless variety of flavors) paired with fresh baked cookies."

"With three locations around Asheville, The Hop Ice Cream Cafe is an excellent place to get not just regular ice cream, but some of the best vegan ice cream we’ve ever had!. In addition to dairy options, they have hemp milk ice cream, coconut ice cream, almond milk ice cream, as well as a rotating cast of other intriguing non-dairy alternatives. Here, you can try vegan twists on classic ice cream flavors, like Cookies n’ Coconut Cream or Local Blueberry ice cream made with pepita milk."

"Delicious dairy-free ice cream can often be difficult to find, but you won’t be left wanting if you hit up The Hop in West Asheville. This gem of an ice cream parlor sells several varieties that vegans will adore. If you’re looking to keep your sugar consumption to a minimum, you can also take advantage of no-sugar-added options."

"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."

"Well, this place certainly has good ice cream, as the name indicates. The ice cream is made from local dairy farms’ milk, and proceeds from the shops are donated to the Asheville community. The owners also support The Alliance for Clean Energy, so when you buy their ice cream, you are helping others, too."

"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."

"With two Whit’s locations in Asheville and another in nearby Hendersonville, you should never be far from frozen custard. As ice cream’s premium grade, this indulgent treat goes above and beyond to put you in a true state of bliss. Between the pasteurized eggs and 10 percent butterfat, it’s easy to see why the custard served at Whit’s is so wonderfully creamy."

"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."

"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."

"The Asheville location of this regional hand-mixed ice cream chain is conveniently located on Biltmore Ave. (The main drag through downtown Asheville.). Here, Marble Slab Creamery makes small-batch, carnivalesque ice cream with mix-ins, before your very eyes. (It’s like Cold Stone in concept, but it has a much more small-town personality.) This is a good ice cream shop for families with kids."
