PS We will also hold a Chocolate Ice Cream week in June centered around National Chocolate Ice Cream Day, which takes place this year on June 8th!

The Hop Ice Cream has been an Asheville institution since 1978, with imaginative and locally-influenced flavors. Owners Ashley and Greg Garrison opened their first downtown location at S&W Market. The menu features homemade dairy and vegan ice creams, classic milkshakes, sundaes, desserts, and made-from-scratch waffle cones. The Hop’s flagship flavors (Salted Caramel, Vanilla Bean, and Chocolate) will be offered alongside a variety of staples and rotates flavors — often featuring local ingredients and collaborations with Asheville businesses.

"The Hop is by far our favorite ice cream place in Buncombe County. We love their homemade ice cream varieties, friendly atmosphere & the support they give to the community..."
