The Hop is an Asheville institution. We visited the West Asheville Hop on a Sat. evening about 9:30 pm. The service was great and friendly. The lady behind the counter give us tastes of ice cream to help us decide. For 4 of us, it was $20 which I consider a bargain especially since I got the Brownie Delight -... More

Everything about the place was great....from the service to the friendly employees and even friendly customers. I would certainly reccomennd this little place to anybody and everybody.

The icecream is very good with very different and unusual flavors, be ready to be surprised. Do not expect your regular cookies and cream, praline of just vanilla flavors. They have flavors with green tea, mochas, and with names that need explanation to figure out what they are. Go and break out of the regular and usual.

I've visited The Hop on two occasions while vacationing in Asheville and I absolutely love it. They have unique flavors that are creamy and taste real (as opposed to the artificial taste that you get in most ice creams). They make all their ice cream and they often have interesting, but delicious, combinations. The first time I visited I had... More

But not as good as other options in town. I give them credit for being creative and trying hard, but when I get an ice cream craving........there's a gem in east Asheville that I hit up.

The atmosphere is so light and airy. It feels like a great childhood memory of how an ice cream shop should be! Awesome flavours and offerings. Salted Carmel being my favorite. They also have birthday party bookings, although I have not seen one. Besides the variety of ice cream options, the staff and service is wonderful.

This is the greatest ice cream in the world! yes, better than graeters! everytime we visit Asheville we get ice cream from here every night of our stay! we even emailed them ahead of time and asked if they could make our favorite flavor and they did! they are super!

Love the owners, their sense of fun and community and the incredibly flavorful ice cream/sorbet/froz yogurt they make by hand. They are always holding entertainment events of great variety, all free. Two locations in Asheville, enough to get some exercise going back & forth from one to another on your bicycle!

We were looking for a good desert option and this place was it. Love there many different flavors to choose from.
