Why We're Different

Sustainable: We source local dairy and ingredients to support other small and local businesses. We use compostable gelato spoons that are used for both sampling and indulging to eliminate excess waste! Our cutlery is compostable as well as our hot drink cups. Even our coffee is used to make coffee ice cubes instead of tossing it when it gets cold!

Thoughtfully Sourced Ingredients: We here at Sugar and Snow know you have high quality standards for your food. In order to be that way, you have to trust that whoever makes your food is sourcing only the very best ingredients. The problem is, most companies start with a cream base mix that is made by an outside company. This means their ice cream or gelato is made with factory-farmed dairy and additives. But not ours! We believe in making a top-shelf dessert, with every creamy bite and crunchy mix-in made from scratch. That's why we use organic sugar, seasonal fresh fruit, and milk and cream from small North Carolina farms.

We make Non-Dairy Gelato, too: Our non-dairy gelato is made with organic cane sugar and plant-based stabilizers.

Woman Owned: Sugar and Snow's founder, Amy, has been building this business since 2013! Amy prioritizes collaborating with other woman-owned businesses to cultivate a beautiful community in WNC that supports and celebrates each other!
