A staple in downtown Asheville, this spot is open a lot later than other places in the area and has the most delicious treats. Cakes, macarons, cannolis, you name it!

My favorite local ice cream shop! They offer multiple vegan options, and there’s 2 locations in Asheville and 1 in Black Mountain. The best homemade ice cream in the area.
The Hop Ice Cream Cafe

Some of the best doughnuts in town hands down! They offer both cake and yeast options as well as vegan options. All delicious!
