    Pints to go
    Katharine B.

    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.

    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.

    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. :(

    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!

    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!

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

    yum! nothing to not like. i love how they offer the 6 flavor sampler plate - it's really the perfect variety and amount to have. busy little shop and saw lots of people on dates / hanging out. ordered: ube, chocolate brownie, mago jalepeno margarita, lemon poppy, matcha, and cannoli. texture of the ice cream was perfect. some of the flavors didn't taste like much (matcha) but for the most part everything was good. cannoli was my favorite. the only flavor that i did not like was the mango jalepeno - but glad i got to try!!

    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!

    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.

    Do they carry non-dairy ice cream that is not sorbet/ fruit- flavored?

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

The space is fairly large and they stay open late (until 11 PM on weekends), making it a great place to hang out with friends or stop by to satisfy a sweet tooth during a night out. I've purchased their macarons as gifts, tried several desserts here and to-go, grabbed coffee and stayed to do work, and even stopped by for lunch. Their light bites are quite tasty, and I especially enjoy their phyllo-dough pastries. Their latte options are great--the flavors are creative yet still approachable, and the syrup options are delicious. Service is attentive and efficient. There's always a big team behind the counter, and instead of calling names, they give you a number and bring food or drinks directly to your table, which is so thoughtful! They can get quite busy at times - lots of families and big groups stop by to hang out. I enjoy the community it brings, though sometimes this is not the most ideal place to get work done. Highly recommend Asali for anyone looking to try creative desserts, a great cup of latte!

Great, lofty space...and nicely decorated throughout. Now comes all the disappointments. First of all, I was the one customer when I stopped in around 2:30 pm...and while the place itself was nice, it felt kind of stale. Total silence...no music. I also noticed that they changed things...for the worse. They no longer had on the menu this trio sampler that I had my heart set on. Also, I didn't find their drink menu that appetizing. Also, everything was now served in paper cartons...not actual plates and cups. This is a running pet peeve of mine. Since Covid, many cafes and bakeries have downscaled on cups, plates and utensils...to serve everything in cheap to-go wares. I expect that type of vibe at fast foods, like McDonald's and Taco Bell...not nice cafes and bakeries. I ordered this soupy dessert (forgot the name), along with this Crepe Cake, and this Mango Fruity drink. Truly, each and every item was forgettable. Just not that good. Then the service... dead-pan. The lady at the counter had this rude-cold demeanor, and did not flick even a slight smile even once. So yeah...NOT great all around. Aside from the place being so attractive, the foods, the presentation and the service was far below what you'd expect from a nice cafe-bakery. A huge disappointment.

Went in after eating down the street with a couple friends as when we passed we all realized we wanted something sweet. However, we were also quite full so we decided we'd just get a single milkshake and split it. We ordered one and without us even saying anything the worker asked "would you like to split that?" A bit confused I asked what she meant and she explained they can split the drink, into small cups, just the same amount split into multiple small cups. It was absolutely perfect, and it wasn't simply just poured into small cups, they were adorned like a full size shake (whipped cream and garnish and all), at no additional cost! Absolutely love this offering and it seems so obvious everybody should be doing this now. It's so simple but honeslty made all of ours day. Because sometimes you want just a little bit, and I understand not selling that small of a size but if I'm ordering a large one to split, pre splitting it into multiple cups is fantastic. Ok now to quickly review the rest. The interior space was large, plenty of seating for groups of all sizes. The decor was quite nice, clean and modern while maintaining a fun character. The case was full of incredible looking treats from chocolates to stroopwaffels and the milkshake options were plentiful with something for everybody. The one we ended up getting was a tad on the sweeter side imo but that also may just be the flavor we got (was still quite good). The prices were a tad leaning towards the higher side but still reasonable, and the service was incredibly friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend and will likely return.
