town's growth and evolution. The past lingers in the
vintage buildings and Art Deco architecture: the
ornate Basilica of Saint Lawrence designed by Rafael
Guastavino; the austere Buncombe County

The Hop Ice Cream Café - Owners Greg
and Ashley Garrison are experts at building community and spreading love. They
make some incredible ice cream too,
with flavor combinations you may not
expect using locally grown berries, pro-
duce and even beer. Plus, they offer
vegan, gluten free and sugar-free varieties. Two locations: Merrimon Avenue in
North Asheville and on Haywood Road
in West Asheville.
