    Delicious paletas. We tried coconut and vanilla-raisin. Both were amazing. Masks are required to go in. We will definitely be going back.

    Potential New Boyfriend is an unbelievable and unique find -- that glad I decided to make a stop…read morewhile coming from Art District! I'm blown away -- if I could give 5+ Stars I would! The lounge and music paired with desserts and wine is such a niche and fun vibe! I love the weekly features - especially Monday fixed menu of desserts with a shot of espresso or wine! The blueberry mint ice cream deserves a cult following! It's made with REAL mint and the color is amazing. The truffle balls are both delicious and serves as a charity (sine profit donated to local charity). The cream puff is light but packed with flavor! The late hours draws in a large crowd!! The waitress is so nice and upbeat. I will definitely have to make a trip back or before I head home!!

    This is a cute and quaint bar that gives off a cozy, living-room vibe. The live vinyl DJ is a…read morefantastic touch, they were hosting a listening party for the new Madonna record the night I went! Both the vibes and the staff were absolutely on point. For dessert, I highly recommend the ice cream brûlée; it was incredibly delicious and unique. The only minor drawback for me was the cocktail selection, which is limited to just a couple of drinks and a few spritzers. However, they do have a decent wine menu with several great aromatic wine offerings. Because it's a intimate venue with limited seating, you might encounter a wait. We arrived early in the evening, and by the time we left, a line was already starting to form!.

    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!

Those were the right toppings to get, as the flavors worked out despite the whole thing freezing the inside of my mouth.

My favorite toppings would have to be the mochi and the heath bar crumbles. The hot fudge and caramel are also a great touch. The owners are very kind people, they have been in there many times while I have come in, and are always very friendly while interacting with their employees and customers. The place is bright and colorful, and inside has not changed at all since I was a kid. Big windows, lots of natural light, super bright and fun atmosphere. They have tons of games to play while you eat, my favorite is Uno! My only problem is the lack of froyo flavor options, at the moment they do not have many. However, I know that this summer, the AC went out during the hottest month of the summer, and many machines broke, machines that are incredibly expensive to fix. While I wish there were more flavors, I will definitely continue to take my business there to support Yolo as they try to get back up on their feet, and one day they will be able to provide all of those yummy flavors they once were able to, and I encourage all y'all to do the same! Support local family-owned businesses, even through the difficult times, and once they get back on their feet and provide all of the yummy flavors and toppings you once loved, you won't regret it!
