Ice Cream in Asheville Area

I'm heading to Asheville for the first time next month and one thing I like to find when I travel are good local ice cream shops. Do I have any to look forward to in the Asheville area? Thanks!

      Ultimate - without a doubt! Their Highland Black Mocha Stout ice cream is scrumptious

        Ultimate is the ultimate! Anything chocolate (or mocha) there is to die for.

            Thanks for all of the recommendations. Wait, I mean THE recommendation. Is this a chowhound first? A thread with NO disagreement? This place must be good. I can't wait.

              I think you may be right! And, yes, it IS that good. Enjoy, and please let us know what you thought.

          Ultimate Ice Cream on Tunnel road (aka 70). Slightly hidden behind a Pomodoro's restaurant.

          The name is accurate. you need look no further. Ginger is my favorite followed by anything caramel-esque.
