Awesome food! Amazing local beer! Of course the pizza is great: traditional, vegan, or gluten free options. There is an arcade room, and they show fantastic movies for a great low price. The best part of the movies here, you can order and eat while you enjoy a cold beer and watch the movie. There is usually a headliner film and often a kid-friendly film as well. And it's a 5 minute walk from our place.

Sweet Treats You Can't Beat!
Y'all we have the best sweet treats nearby, some walkable and some not so...hopefully this cheat sheet will help you plan you visit...dessert is a vital element of a vacation or work trip! You deserve it!
Totally worth the short walk or quick car trip!...
Whit's Frozen custard is a super premium grade of ice cream dessert. It was developed by the French over 100 years ago and has been referred to as “French Vanilla” ice cream. The great taste of frozen custard is attributed to the high-quality dairy ingredients, 10% butterfat, a small amount of pasteurized eggs and the blending of very little air during production… creating a smooth and creamy texture with a rich flavor. Once you try Whit’s Frozen Custard, the excellent taste will bring you back for more. It’s Whit’s Going On!

A famous chocolate shoe, yes a ladies shoe shaped chocolate! Or award willing truffles (some flavor award faves: Award Winning Items: Champagne, Key Lime Pie, Ancient Pleasures, Wine and Roses, Blossom, French Velvet, Dragon’s Sigh, Velvet Sin).
Make it a stop in your downtown agenda!

Local self serve fro-yo. Make your own, mix flavors if that is your jam. Toppings galore. Sold by weight. Ask for a sample cup if you are not sure about committing to a cup of any flavor. Pro-Tip-This is next door to Luella's BBQ, grab dinner there, and then meander over to Yo-Lo and head back to our place! Walk or drive!

Voted Best Bakery in Asheville Area since 2014! That is no small feat with all of the dessert people in this town as you can see from our small list here...
Not only a bakery, but a great place for a light bite (to save room for dessert). This one is the second of the cafe's located in Historic Biltmore Village. You can get your shop on just outside the gates of Biltmore Estate. Shop a while, then eat here, then shop some more! (See our guidebook on shopping in Biltmore Village).
Menu fresh daily, dessert favorites are Austrian Tea Cakes, Pot de Creme, Swedish Creme, Baklava, Creme Brûlée, Mountain Eclairs, or a legendary Lemon Bar!
It gets better...they serve Breakfast treats like Buttermilk Jammers, Muffins, Scones, Croissants, French Toast Casserole, and SO Much More.
Hearty Lunch and Brunch includes Quiches (Gluten Free Also), Strata, Breakfast Burritos, or a Breakfast Sandwich! Lunch Sandwich variety changed daily, think chicken salad (curried or regular), vegetarian Caprese, or a hearty Italian sandwich! This place is a NO Brainer! Yum and Yum!
