The ice cream is small batch made and you can tell by the creamy texture and flavor. The cookies are freshly baked and just as delicious. If you put those two components together, the ice cream sandwich was by far the best I have ever had. read more

Such a cute spot for dessert! After having dinner, we walked to Sunshine Sammie's for a scoop of salted caramel and a mint chocolate chip Sammie. Both were delicious! read more

Very solid ice cream sandwich shop. I loved their homemade ice cream and found the ratio of cookie to ice cream to be perfect. The cookie was packed with chocolate chips and it was just moist enough to make it easy to eat the sandwich without a messy. Highly recommend stopping by. Super friendly woman helped us but they could use 1 more person to help on a busy Saturday night... she was doing way too much. read more

Incredibly creamy ice cream, natural ingredients, so tasty, massive portion on the cookie sandwiches! Kids had chocolate chip and chocolate cookies filled with chocolate and vanilla ice creams and I had a gluten free peanut butter cookie with vanilla ice cream. Delicious and huge. They also have some premade sandwiches and special concoctions in their cooler, like today one of the options was Cafe Con Leche Flan on Chocolate cookie. Eat out and then get dessert here. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They also have vegan cookies and non dairy ice cream options. The peanut butter gluten free cookie was amazzzzing and even non-GF people should get it if they love peanut butter. read more

As far as ice cream sandwiches go, this takes the cake! Fresh baked cookies, in house made ice cream. They have signature sandwiches but you can customize it how ever you like! It was a Tuesday night, still kind of winter so they were not busy. We were able to order and walk out the door quickly. The girl at the counter was sweet and helped us. read more

My husband were searching for a sweet treat in downtown Asheville and stumbled across this gem! We loved the ice-cream sandwich theme. We picked out the wasp which was a fig ice-cream with an oatmeal raisin cookie! It was spectacular! The cookie was flavorful and crisp and filled with the creamiest ice-cream. They make all of their cookies daily and you can mix and match however you like! Definitely give this place a try! read more

Delish. Kind of pricey but good for a little sweet treat! We tried two different sandwiches and were happy with both! read more

Sunshine Sammies was not even on my list of places to visit during my short Asheville trip. It was not until our Lazoom tour guide pointed it out that we decided to visit since it was a local spot. I got the blueberry sammie with sugar cookie. It was a huge sammie and very delicious and creamy oh my goodness! It felt like racing against time to prevent the ice cream from melting but that made it more fun, lol. You could personalize the cookies. I wish I had gotten the icecream with snickerdoodle cardamom, which I had bought separately but there will be a next time. The service was quick too. Their hours are interesting: mostly starting at 1pm most days to late at night even on the weekends. They had some frozen sammies but only one basic flavor so even though I wanted to get one for the road, I was not interested in the basic flavor. Overall, would revisit! read more

Very yummy cookies and chai ice cream. We were craving something sweet after brewery hoping and glad we ended up at this place, as they have so many options for cookies, ice cream and ice cream sandwiches. We got a few different cookies and their chai ice cream and my husband did not share haha. He loved it so much read more

What a great spot! I love ice cream sandwiches so this concept is perfect to me. Lots of choices of different ice creams and cookies. The cookie holds up well to the ice cream. The sandwiches are big since they put a lot of ice cream on it and I love that they'll cut it in half if you are sharing. The ice cream itself wasn't overly special to me but all around a great dessert. There are tables inside and outside. Super close to Wicked Weed (right behind it) and right next to TerraNova so perfect stop after some beers and dinner. read more

Probably being a little picky but felt like the cookies could have been a little softer and the ice cream didn't have any thing that stood out with flavor. The chocolate cookie was a little bland but chocolate chip was really good. Would have also been better with a chocolate sauce or fudge to top it off. read more

Excellent little ice cream spot! We had the key lime Sammie and they cut it in half so we could share. It was magnificent. Always leave room for dessert! read more

Another visit to Sunshine Sammie's, as good as ever. Delicious, locally sourced small batch vanilla ice cream sandwiched between 2 homemade chocolate chip cookies. It's all you could ask for in an ice cream sandwich. Pro tip - ask them to cut it in half so you can share with your significant other. It's a BIG sandwich! read more

My friend is an ice cream aficionado and loves to have it while we travel and after dinner. So after dinner we easily walked here. There was a line and it was approx 10:15 pm. Apparently, we weren't the only ones with this idea as they were starting to run out of cookies for the Sammies. My friend wanted a Double Double which is snickerdoodle ice cream with snickerdoodle cookies but they were out of the cookies. So instead she got two sugar cookies with orange dreamcicle vanilla ice cream between. The cookies were squishy and delicious and fresh and the ice cream was really good and light and orange-y. Noms. Would def come back. read more

One of our favorite spots in Asheville--you have to go to Sunshine Sammies! We tried another popular ice cream place after this and wished we'd just come back here instead. The line was short and we got our sandwiches quickly. We tried the key lime pie and 7 layer magic cookie bar sandwich. The key lime one was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just right. The 7 layer was definitely on the sweeter side, but so tasty and perfect if you like coconut. There's limited indoor and outdoor seating, so if it's busy be ready to stand or take a little walk somewhere to eat. Everything was so delicious--we'll absolutely be coming back next time we're in town. A must-visit if you're in Asheville! read more

The idea of an ice cream sandwich place didn't quite blow me away; I figured that it would be a gimmicky kind of thing. But when I ordered a mint chocolate sandwich, I found the tingly, aromatic mint ice cream to be good enough to have ordered on its own from any quality ice cream place, and the cookies, slightly warmed were likewise easily worth eating alone. In combination, they were even better. The menu includes a decent amount of vegan cookies and coconut creams, with gluten-free options marked as well. There is enough space to sit indoors or out, and you'll want to take a moment to savor such an impressive creation. read more

I visited Sunshine Sammies during my first trip to Asheville, and now it makes me smile each time I think about my visit. First of all, they have some of the freshest cookies I've ever tasted. I've always been a big fan of snickerdoodle cookies, and they make one of the best. When I found out that they also had snickerdoodle ice cream, I suddenly became a fan for life. I had to order their ice cream sandwich with snickerdoodle ice cream in between two freshly baked snickerdoodle cookies. From the very first bite of the Snickerdoodle Sammie, I was immediately transported back to my childhood and surrounded by memories of my mom's homemade snickerdoodle cookies. The staff was generally friendly, and the cashier smiled when welcoming me and taking my order. You can see the light blue and yellow from their logo throughout the interior of the shop. They also have yellow metal tables and chairs on the outdoor patio. I would most definitely return to Sunshine Sammies the next time I visit Asheville, and I highly recommend the ice cream and cookie shop to others. Cheers read more

I went here not even 20 minutes ago and am compelled to write my review now! Such friendly staff, she had me sample two different ice creams since I was torn between mint choc chip and the snickerdoodle. Both were so great! The ice cream wasn't overly sweet but very creamy. The cookies are chewy but don't crumble when you eat the sandwich. They truly go great together as a sandwich. Parking is tight, I ended up hopping out of the car and grabbing our sandwich while my husband waited in the car. There is some seating outside though too if you prefer. I'd come back! read more

We'll. We gobbled up our ice cream Sammies before takin pics. They were a tasty treat to cap off our evening. My husband and I split the peanut butter chocolate waffle Sammie. The only thing we changed is trading one chocolate cookie for a chocolate chip. The ice cream was my favorite part. :) My son ordered the one that came with honey rose I've cream, sugar cookies and raspberry dust. The honey rose is an unusual, distinct flavor. It's not for everyone but my son loved it. There are several tables outside for guests to enjoy their treats. For those who don't feel like an ice cream sandwich, you have the option to just get ice cream. read more

Great place for ice cream... Cookies, or a combination of the two, which are called Sammies . You can choose from premade or create your own. They are filling and hand crafted... big enough to share too! Is Stafford very nice and the environment is very clean... Bright view of the orange peel. Definitely a place. read more

We got one of the classics - salted caramel ice cream with chocolate cookie. I usually find ice cream too sweet but this was so good! The ice cream wasn't too sweet and you could taste some notes of caramel. The chocolate cookie was baked enough so that they were "cooked" but soft enough so that when you bite into the ice cream sandwich the cookie shapes around the ice cream instead of breaking off. The cookie had some nutty flavors. There are two scoops of ice cream in the sandwich. I'd recommend sharing an ice cream sandwich with someone if you've eaten beforehand because they're quite large. I'm just visiting for Atlanta but really wish sunshine Sammies had a storefront in Atlanta. read more
