I tried the queso Bc I've never had that flavor ice cream before and it was delicious. Definitely a great place to stop after a hike in the area!

YUMMMMMMM. So good…read more My friend is an ice cream cookie monster and has it several times a day when we travel bc that's her favorite thing when she travels is to try all the ice cream in town. I'm happy to oblige, lol. So, after an hour in the Asheville Salt Cave, we walked over here to try this ice cream. Two staff inside working, it was incredibly hot inside, were happy to answer questions and greeted us warmly. They had a nice selection of flavors on the wall and a few specialty flavors. My friends went with a salted caramel vanilla and a peanut chocolate flavor. Both were OK but mine was the star of the show for me. I chose the Vanilla Oreo Cream which was this delicious creamy vanilla mixture with huge chunks of Oreo cookies. It was smooth, it was sweet, it was delicious. As a cookies and cream fan, this was top notch. They sell lactaid pills here if you need them, to assist with stomach discomfort from dairy. Smooth and creamy ice creams here with a range of delicious flavors. If we'd had time, we would've stopped in every single day!

We were looking for the best ice cream in Asheville so we yelped it. Ultimate ice cream came up…read moreand after looking at the pictures and reading the reviews we headed out to Ultimate ice cream. The address in Yelp brought us to a blue building clearly marked with the address we were looking for BUT it was a pharmacy. We persisted. We eventually found an ice cream store behind the pharmacy called "The mad dipper". We went in and talked to the young woman working there. She said they used to be "The ultimate ice cream" but they were bought about a year ago and the name was changed to The Mad Dipper." She tried hard to convince us they were the same but after having looked at the pictures prior to arriving I would disagree. We still ordered ice cream and it was good but nothing special. There were a few inside tables as well as outside. It appeared clean but disorganized. The young woman working was kind and polite. She did a good job. Would we go back- probably not. I am still trying to understand how/why the new owners have not taken the time to update their Yelp page. Really poor marketing!

Disclaimer: I have not visited their shops. I was served a dessert container of pumpkin ice cream…read moreand it was amazing. I was a little taken back when the server handed us a small container of ice cream as a restaurant dessert offering. But, one spoonful erased that thought immediately. Looking forward to trying their other offerings and hopefully some more pumpkin.

This place was great they had huge summer camp visiting which made it kind of noisy. The staff was…read moregreat though they stayed smiling the whole time and they had the line moving super fast even though it was so busy.

Nice little shop outside of Hendersonville. My girls were raving about this place after attending…read moreone of the local camps. They have a great selection of flavors to choose from. I got the 2-scoop sundae with peanut butter and Blue Star Ballistic Bopper flavor ice cream. Our orders came out fast and well prepared. Filling up on ice cream is always a good time.

First the good - it was awesome to find a spot with vegan oat ice cream that wasn't a sherbet…read more We topped it with hot fudge and it was perfect. The blended sundae with brownies was great. The bad - no adults on sight and the kids running the place didn't quite fit the family establishment model. Short short shorts, cussing and dropping bombs, and just goofing around taking longer time than necessary. Management needed.

If you're looking for a frozen treat that feels like a cozy hug in a cup, the Maple Nut Goodie…read morecustard at Whit's is it. Rich maple flavor meets crunchy, buttery nuts in a blend that's nostalgic and indulgent all at once. It's sweet without being overpowering, and the texture is smooth and creamy--exactly what you'd expect from Whit's signature custard. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the shop has that small-town charm that makes you want to linger a little longer. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this flavor is a must-try. It's a perfect seasonal pick that tastes like fall in every bite.

Spencer is the bomb! We took a group of teens to his shop in order to learn about making ice cream…read more His patience and kindness are like no other. I don't know about you, but me personally, I like to to give my business to "good people". Spencer is the real deal! Did I mention the ice cream is superior to anything purchased in a store? Pricing is quite reasonable for this high quality product. If you are inclined to try the lavender honey ice cream, Just do it!!! Although the 20 teens I was with would argue that strawberry, birthday cake, cookies and cream, etc. were all the best.

It was one of the best I have ever had! Not kidding, really. They had a lot of ice cream flavors and burgers and hot dogs too. I went back the next day to get a cup of vanilla for my pup who was a good boy at the vet. I had to have a taste of that too and it was also delicious. Will be going back again. Their hours are 11 - 7 so be sure to go by. You won't be dissapointed. Lois Chumbley
