Sugar & Snow Gelato owner Amy Murashige said that her gelato machine was one of the few things spared when Helene hit the Riverside Drive shop, tucked inside Second Gear. And now, that machine will accompany Sugar & Snow’s next chapter, as the team prepares for a mid-November opening inside The Wyre apartment complex in the upper RAD.
“To be able to reopen and bring that machine to a new location feels like part of the healing we are all doing and an act of resilience,” Murashige said.
In addition to cups of homemade gelato, the shop will serve dessert pizza, adding the frozen dessert and toppings on a sweet brioche dough. Before the official opening, Sugar & Snow plans to host a special tasting event and fundraiser — follow along on social media to know when tickets go live.
For now, you can pick up a pint from the freezer at Second Gear or hit up the North Asheville Tailgate Market — if you’re all about fall flavors, pumpkin gelato debuts at the market this Saturday, Aug. 30.
