★★★★★ 5.0 Edixio Gallardo · Feb 2026

First time visiting this gem in West Asheville, and I’m absolutely in love! The ambiance is fabulous, super cozy, colorful, and intimate. It honestly felt like I was hanging out in my own living room (but way more beautifully decorated). The space feels very private and thoughtfully curated. The menu offers a great selection of savory snacks, desserts, and wines. Our server, Josy, was mind-blowing! She gave us amazing recommendations and truly elevated the experience. I originally went in for an espresso martini, only to discover it’s actually a wine bar, and I’m so glad I did! Josy recommended a bottle of Lambrusco that I absolutely loved. We also ordered the cheese board, which was very reasonably priced and delicious. And the chocolate coconut tres leches? Incredible. A must-try! They h

First of all - absolutely incredible menu, one of my favorites from recent spots we’ve been. We were only there for drinks after a small brunch nearby, so we got a weird but delicious mix of mostly non-food. Ice cream and cocktails and amaro? Never thought of it before, but sign me up. Fairly easy to miss even with an A-Frame out front, Potential New Boyfriend’s outside is unassuming and inside is…garish and gaudy and a little impersonal.

Feels like hanging out with your friends in your glamorously decorated fantasy living room. The decor and seating areas are well furnished and intimate but inviting, great music rotation, and really delicious ice cream. Great vibes, will return.

10/10 experience, very funky and vibey. Grilled cheese was delish and during HH you get a free scoop of ice cream with a glass of wine. Amazing playlist too

★★★★★ 5.0 eBlake Dickey · Feb 2026

my favorite spot in west asheville. amazing ice cream and a curated wine and vermouth list that is easy even for a dummy like me to navigate. the staff are always so kind. Josie and Disco are helpful. I love the vibes here and the music is always great. I highly recommend the membership, you get access to a secret menu. I'm thankful for a local business who is vocal about their beliefs and their support for the community as well.
