    We were driving back from Asheville to Charlotte and wanted to stop somewhere local for ice cream. I found Artesana on Yelp off I-40, so we decided to make a pit stop. It's located in downtown Marion, which was pretty desolate on the Friday evening we stopped. Artesana was open, though. I ordered the two scoop cup with two different flavors - Banana Chocolate Chip and Dark Chocolate Habanero. Both were delicious, and both were BIG scoops. The banana flavor was very prevalent, and the dark chocolate was dark and creamy. The habanero gave the ice cream a little kick, but not too excessively. It's worth a try!

    Excellent ice cream from all natural ingredients - local when possible! Everything is made in house. The owner waited on us and was quick with the samples. Once he has an idea of your tastes, he makes recommendations to narrow down your selection. So many different flavors and options. Ice cream sweetened by honey only or even naturally sugar free. I tried Vegan ice cream for the first time (Pineapple) and it was fantastic - I didn't know if I was supposed to feel like I was missing out on something, but I wasn't ! Three of us each got single kid sized scoops in waffle cones for only $6 all together - I felt like we robbed the place! Great ice cream made by great people!

    Adorable, cozy shop with an impressive selection of ice creams. Not only are they all made in-house, but they have vegan options, and options sweetened with honey. They also have some decadent local favorites like Bigfoot Tracks.

    Family legacy that offers a variety of ice cream flavors. Located in the foothills of Marion, North Carolina. Don't miss out on treating yourself to their special unique taste of heavenly flavors.

    Ice cream shop.

    Great small town shop. The ice cream has the taste of homemade bliss. Don't walk or drive by. Stop in and stay for a genuine treat.

    I really like the ice cream that they make from sketch and I'd argue that is is better than Jack Frost but I wish they would have toppings

This little independently owned shop has limited hours on limited days of the week, there nothing like an owner who opens when he wants to and serves up a great selection of novelties, this almost always ensure you'll get quality products and it also means you'll probably have to pay up a little although I found the moderate pricing to be reasonable. The menus are posted everywhere once you climb the flight of stairs to the porch level - like more traditional ice cream stands there's a ordering window and a pickup window this to me signifies this place can get pretty busy although today that wasn't the case, of course I arrived a few minutes after opening. This place seems to offer unlimited flavors of ice cream and as I reviewed all the postings the only distraction was a couple of teenage boys seating on the bench beside the railing - one was crunching on his cup full of ice while the other was sucking on lemons he retrieved from his empty cup of lemonade, both were a little annoying but I was here for ice cream so it's wasn't hard to ignore the ill-mannered children although they arrived here in a early 2000 mini truck that hadn't seen a car wash in months. We found a picnic table under a big oak tree that provided shade to enjoy our treat and far enough away from the ice cruncher and lemon sucker to relax and suck down our shakes, I was bound and determined to do a little straw sucking to get some payback but unfortunately the two departed before I got to the bottom of my cup. We ordered a Banana and North Carolina Peach Shake in separate cups of course the smooth ice cream was filled with freshly sliced bananas and delicious peaches that kept clogging up the straws (that's a great sign for me it reminded me of my childhood when you had to pull the straw and do a reverse slurp to clean the fruit from within). The owners were friendly but focused and the little windows only provided a small portal to the inside which I thought was rather comical - a hand appeared to take the payment then it appeared again to hand over the product. It was a great experience over-all and the shakes were delicious, this is definitely a gem in the mountain forrest and deserves a visit again and again when in the area...
