Best ice cream in the triangle. They have amazing monthly flavors too. I got the banana nut brownie as part of the October special.

Pints to go

We love Andia's! They win all kinds of national awards for their flavors. My favorite is rose pistachio and my son loves the strawberry. You can also get the sampler flight with 6 flavors if you can't decide. The waffles are freshly made in house. Scoops are $6 each in a cup. The treat is usually pretty fast keeping the lines moving. They offer a few indoor seats and outdoor benches. You can also get pints to go.

Wall menu. 1 of 2. Milkshakes, toppings, cups and cones, specialty items.

My wife and I finally made it to Andia's Homemade Ice Cream in Cary. We generally agree with what most others have said about this place. The ice cream here is excellent and, in my opinion, probably the best in the Triangle. That's all you need to know. If you want details, keep reading. This Andia's location in the Cary Park Town Center (Harris Teeter shopping center) in West Cary is the original brick and mortar location that opened on July 27, 2017. Since then, three additional locations have opened: Southeast Cary, Raleigh (Raleigh Iron Works mixed-use development), and Durham (The Can Opener food truck park). We visited on a Sunday around 4:45pm and stayed for about an hour. During that time, we saw two large waves of customers come in. Even though the shop was busy, the line moved at a good pace and customer service was great. Different members of the staff checked on us, which we appreciated. In hindsight, I'm surprised we stayed for about an hour, but it was mainly because we ate more than normal. We entered the line twice to put in two orders. Between the two of us, we had: * One Sampler Flight ($7.75) - Baklava, Cake Batter, Oreo Latte, Ube, Malted Twix, and Rose Pistachio, topped with 2 waffle wedges; * One Double Scoop ($8.00) - Cake Batter and French Vanilla, with free rainbow sprinkles; and * Another Double Scoop ($8.00) - Rose Pistachio and Ube. All of the flavors were outstanding. To me, what made Andia's stand out from the competition was the extra thick and creamy texture of the ice cream. It was dense, but not too dense, and super smooth. Also, I love how "sprinkles are always free." A couple things my wife liked about Andia's was (1) the flavors weren't too sweet, unlike Ben & Jerry's, and (2) the shop offered many creative and unique flavors, which reminded me of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. Overall, the flavors were very authentic and tasted true to their names. For example, the Cake Batter contained yellow cake mix and the Rose Pistachio had chopped roasted pistachios. During our visit, there were 24 flavors and 16 toppings ($1 each, except for sprinkles which are free) on the menu. Nine of the 24 flavors (37.5%) were sold out. That was disappointing because there were multiple flavors we wanted to try that were sold out. To give you a better idea of the flavors we got and what makes Andia's different in terms of the effort and ingredients they put into their ice cream, here's how they were described on the menu in-store: * Baklava - a nutmeg- and cinnamon-infused ice cream with chopped walnuts, baklava pieces, and honey * Cake Batter - a yellow cake mix with rainbow confetti throughout * French Vanilla - national red ribbon winner 3 years in a row! * Malted Twix - malted chocolate ice cream with chopped Twix pieces and a thick caramel swirl * Rose Pistachio - a light and refreshing rose flavor with chopped roasted pistachios * Oreo Latte - our coffee ice cream base with Oreos throughout * Ube - a creamy coconut milk base made with the purple yam from the Philippines My favorite flavors were Cake Batter and French Vanilla. My wife's favorites included the Ube and Rose Pistachio, but really, she liked them all. I don't think you can go wrong with any flavor here. Andia's is also known for their decadent milkshakes served in souvenir Andia's mason jars ($16.50 each). This location is sized like most ice cream shops with limited seating inside and out. We sat at the counter in the back. They have a sink in the back, outside the single unisex restroom, with water cups. Seating outside is on the shopping center's sidewalk patio.

Creme brulee ice cream $6
Eman S.

The ice cream is incredible. The creme brulee ice cream gimmick is what I came for but the manager came out and bruleed it without notifying me and I was quite disheartened not to have gotten to see the show lol. But all in all, the ice cream comes pre packaged from their facility so it's not customizable, but vanilla bean is visible in it and the combo was incredible. $6. The cake batter, rose pistachio and ube were also fantastic. Rich, creamy, flavorful, and unique. I'd recommend this spot for sure! I was just a little emotional driving 26 min to see my ice cream get brulee'd without me. :(

Sampler

In my opinion, the best ice cream in Cary speaking as an ice cream aficionado and avowed snob. always an excellent set of permanent flavors and an interesting cast of seasonal flavors. Flavors are always rich and well balanced. We love to get the sampler in particular since it lets us try all sorts of things. We've probably been here about four or five times now and it has never disappointed. Can be busy at times but service is prompt and the counter employees are always nice even in an unfortunate incident in which their AC was broken in the middle of the summer. Will be coming here many more times.

Vanilla cake

A picture is worth than 1000 words. Andia's cakes are always a hit! Our party was a blast and guests enjoyed every bite of this cake

Absolutely delicious ice cream flavors! The ice cream and drinks were so fun and the staff was delightful. This place is perfect for instagram and also so tasty, it was worth the 20 min drive to get there. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area!

This was bomb. So good! And I love how many options they have. The jar is too cute and I get to keep it to myself! How great!

Delicious ice cream! This is my third time here this summer. I love the monthly flavors!

You can't come to Raleigh and not treat yourself. This ice cream never disappoints. The flavor is amazing and the customer service is on point. Love their ice cream. Restaurant was clean and the line moved pretty quickly. Overall, one satisfied customer!

The line outside of Andia's said it all. The unique flavors, creamy ice cream, and excellent location make it the ideal place to quench your sweet tooth on a warm, summer night. The great service kept the line moving quickly while still giving people what they want and allowing samples to guarantee satisfaction. It's a nice place to sit down and enjoy your ice cream (when it isn't crowded) or to take it and walk around outside in the plaza. I recommend the flight, if you just wanna try a little bit of everything :)

Great location& nice service. Absolutely nothing special. Ice cream tasted like it was high on sugar and no flavor.

The staff is a bit vanilla! We sure miss Paige! The waiting is excessive for sub par ice cream.

Where is the online ordering for quarts?

For quartpickup at Green Level store: https://andiasicecream-store.square.site/… 

What milk goes in the milkshake? I would love a vegan milkshake!

Depends on the flavor. Most of the vegan flavors use coconut milk I believe.

Do you make eggless ice cream cakes?

Yes we do! In fact, most of our flavors do not have eggs.

Do they have eggless ice creams?

Thank you for your question. 19 of our current 22 flavors are eggless.

Yes! They always have at least one non-dairy flavor at all times.

Pretty tasty! Parking was easy since there's a dedicated lot (and a huge shared parking lot for all…read moreof the businesses right nearby as well). Notably, you order at a window and receive your food through a different window, so everything is done outside. Not a huge deal for me, but if you wanted to chill and enjoy some AC, this would not be the best fit. I ordered in person, which was maybe wise since another family had ordered online and they had to flag down the worker to ask about their order - it wasn't clear if he was even aware of it. That being said, the worker was nice, and I got my order super quickly (like, within 10 seconds of paying). I will say I was a little perplexed since I ordered the concrete and it was definitely not frozen. Like, they advertise that you can turn the frozen custard upside down with the spoon in it and nothing will move, but I can guarantee that everything would have fallen out of my bowl if I tried that. I got the vanilla custard with Heath bar filling and it was definitely yummy! Not sure how frequently I should indulge in it, but it definitely hit the spot on a hot summer day :)

If you dont have dietary restrictions and haven't stopped at Goodberrys then are you even living in…read morethe triangle? I'm kidding of course but for a classic custard treat it's difficult to go wrong here. They have a few locations and the one in Cary is close to several restaurants and groceries so perfect place to head over after a meal on a summer night. Outdoor seating with a casual ambiance or take your treats to go. They attempt many flavor toppings. My recommendation is to start with something like the regular campfire that has a blend of vanilla custard, chocolate chips, marshmellow fudge and graham crackers. The only pro tip I can give you is order online if it's busy. They have an ETA before you order to give you an idea of wait times. Plus online you can look through all the options without being rushed. Regular size is more than enough for most people Jumbo is too much.
