Introducing Affogato,
an Asheville Coffee Shop & Gelateria

Gemelli just got sweeter, with the opening of our new espresso and gelato shop, Affogato!

Stop in for Counter Culture coffee and espresso drinks, served hot or iced, as well as baked goods and artisanal Italian gelato. Or enjoy a classic affogato. The cold, creamy, sweet vanilla gelato paired with bitter, hot espresso is a delicious treat that hits all the right sensory notes.

La Dolce Vita

For our sweet and savory baked goods, we’ve partnered with Lost Mountain Bakery, an Asheville-based artisan bakery specializing in naturally leavened breads and French viennoiserie made with local Carolina Ground Flour and European flours. Our rotating selection includes cornettos and other Italian pastries, muffins, and savory flaky-crust handhelds filled with cured meats, cheese, and veggies.
