Just dropped in late this Thursday evening, and had a fantastic experience with the two scoopers working. When most spots are closed by this time, the hop is a beacon of light in the midst of an otherwise sleepy town. I was served with kindness, promptly handed my sweet treat and wished a great evening, truly what more could you ask for?

The vegan ice cream is delicious but this is ridiculously small for 2 scoops. Disappointing as Themis was my birthday treat. Seriously the size of a child’s cup

Size matters not, when flavor strong it is.
Stopped by for a scoop of their Butter Pecan—rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. The scoop was on the smaller side, but trust in the taste, young Padawan… it delivers.
Bonus points for the cozy vibe! They’ve got a cute reading nook and a magnet wall—perfect for keeping little younglings entertained while you savor your scoop in peace.

An absolute favorite. If you love ice cream, definitely visit The Hop, you won’t regret it. All the flavors taste great. The Vanilla Bean, Cookie Party and the Chocolate are the current favorites, though I haven’t had one I didn’t like yet. My son loves the books too. Ice cream and a story every time we visit. Also try the cookies and brownies, they always hit the spot. We love The Hop.

The hop is my favorite place to get ice cream in Asheville. The staff is always kind, helpful! Especially if you have allergies they are very informative on cross contamination. Kari was especially helpful and kind when I came in!! Would recommend to anyone. Love the rising flame flavor they have right now. 🙂

Cute little ice cream spot. The employee who helped me was very friendly. There are vegan and non-dairy options available as well, which is great! There is free parking available in their parking lot. Definitely recommend trying them out! The ice cream I had today was delicious

Top quality ice cream. They have a mix of classic and interesting flavors. I got the sweet potato taro swirl and bees knees. Both tasted great! They also have vegan options, and there is bubble tea available at a different counter inside. It’s part of a strip mall style location, so parking is pretty convenient.

I’ve had TWO peak ice cream experiences here, and I’m old, so that’s saying something.
I’ve had mint chocolate chip ice cream all over the country and The Hop’s is tops for me!!
And, their hot fudge sundae was so good that it not only set a new higher bar, but it also had my houseguest wondering if he should move here!
