It was evident that they take pride in providing excellent service to their customers.I also appreciated the fact that El Rio Ice Cream is a bilingual establishment, offering service in both Spanish and English. This added touch creates a welcoming atmosphere for all customers and adds to the authenticity of the experience.Overall, I highly recommend El Rio Ice Cream to anyone in Asheville who is looking for a delicious and nostalgic ice cream experience.

“The staff is so sweet and helpful ALWAYS! I'm gluten free, not by choice, and feel pretentious when asking about gluten free choices. Not at Sweet Escapes! They usually know off hand which flavors are celiac friendly, and if they don't, they're quick to check their list, and NEVER make me feel like "one of those gluten free people" . Sweet Escapes is 5 fantastic stars every single time.“
