"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."

"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."

"Easily among the best Italian restaurants in all of North Carolina, Chiesa serves up incredible Italian dishes you won’t want to miss!. Located in the Montford neighborhood and serving the community since 2014, Chiesa (which is Italian for “church”) was opened as an Italian restaurant by Newton Clark. You may find Clark socializing with guests when you stop in to try any of his restaurant’s best dishes, including the mozzarella-stuffed Italian meatballs, house-made cheese-stuffed ravioli, and chicken marsala."

"For a warm, neighborhood Italian experience, dine at Chiesa. Treat your tastebuds to generations of family recipes carefully plated for the ultimate restaurant experience."

"Sunny Point Cafe is a family run farm-to-table comfort food restaurant known for hearty breakfast staples like huevos rancheros and the “mighty good breakfast pie,” featuring their signature bacon, free-range eggs, and sharp white cheddar baked in a cream cheese crust, served with a side of fresh seasonal fruit. (They also serve a delicious maple-black pepper bacon that you can also get 12 pieces of as a side. Highly recommended for bacon-lovers!). We love that this Asheville breakfast spot is always cooking with super fresh, hyper-seasonal ingredients."

"With southern breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros, chicken & waffles and shrimp & grits you will not find a time when this place isn’t busy. While you wait, grab a coffee or mimosa and chill on the patio or stroll through their fruit and vegetable garden. The maple black pepper bacon is life changing, your mouth will thank you."

"If you love breakfast food for dinner – this is the place for you. This family owned eatery is one of the few open past 3pm, and their dinner menu contains many of their breakfast and brunch staples. While Sunny Point Cafe is notorious for a long wait, Ashevillians agree it’s well worth it."
