I was craving some desserts and saw this place pop up as a new place in Durham. When we initially…read moredrove here, it's tricky because it's actually on the backside of the building. When we got inside, it was a very cute small shop. Not only did they have gelato, but they also had different pastries and olive oil if you wanted to take some home. The service there was also great and the person helping us was very friendly. They had a lot of different gelato flavors. I got the cookies and cream and salted caramel. The salted caramel was not my favorite. However, the cookies and cream was great. The price's here are definitely on the higher end so something to be aware of. I do think the flavors are good but may require some final fine-tuning. Overall, I did like this place and I think it would be good on a summer day or a fall evening. There is no indoor seating or tables outside but plenty of parking so you can eat in your car.

Only a few picnic tables and benches and you walk up to the window to order. The employees are very friendly. The ice cream is made fresh daily. This is just one of many franchises in the US. They started out in Youngstown, OH and the company began in 1945. National Geographic says it's the #1 ice cream on the planet! That's quite a claim! I had a medium size cone with black raspberry and pistachio ice cream in a sugar cone. Both ice creams were really good and creamy, lots of pistachios, but the sugar cone was lacking flavor. My spouse got two scoops of the black raspberry in a cake cone and Loved the ice cream. They have tons of flavors to choose from! We'll be back!

Hey Yelp fam! This is a good yet sad review--but not for the…read morereason you're probably thinking. While in Durham (as I shared in a previous post), we stopped by a food hall after an event, and inside we found Milk Lab. I'm usually not big on trying different teas or specialty drinks, but on this particular day my sister recommended it--and I figured, what the heck, let's give it a try. I honestly don't even remember exactly what we ordered or whether it had milk in it, but what I do remember is that it was so good. The barista was amazing--super knowledgeable, explained the drink list, and even helped us decide when we couldn't choose between two options. The drink we got was one of their recommendations, and it did not disappoint. IT WAS SO GOOD! Now here's the sad part As I was walking to the table to sit down, the drink somehow tipped over and spilled. Y'all... I don't even know what happened, but I was HEARTBROKEN. I didn't get to finish it, but from the few sips I did get, I would absolutely order it again. I'm just glad I at least managed to get a picture before the tragedy.

We mixed some old favorites with a few new flavors. The dark chocolate raspberry was SO good. Chocolate lovers, you need to try this one! Our forever favorites are still bakhlawa (with those bakhlawa bites ) and rose pistachio - the rose essence is just perfect, not overpowering at all. Tried one new flavor "UBE" for the first time too. I think it was made with coconut milk and I really liked it! Always fun discovering new favorites. Service was amazing and super patient. They happily let you try different flavors before you pick your final perfect cup which I always appreciate because choosing is hard They even changed up their decor for the February LOVE vibe and updated the menu colors. Super cute touch. They do have milkshakes, but I'm not ready for that many calories in one go yet! Maybe one day when my mind (and cravings) say yes lol.

Flavors are fairly different as well which is also a nice change. Inside is pretty small but there is outdoor seating available at this location. We got the mini flight that comes with six mini scoops and two waffle cone chips. Flavor profiles are on point and ice cream is fairly creamy. My only complain is the serving sizes are small for the price you pay. The quality is good but you don't get much in each scoop. The ice cream sandwiches don't keep their form when you take a bite of it as well.

Came here on a cold winter Sunday evening (cause duh, ice cream is good anytime of the year- debate…read moreme :P) for a post-dinner sweet treat. It was my first time here and we wanted to try something new! We came in about 15-20 min before they closed and I got a graham cracker ice cream and then also the banana with chocolate chip. Did. Not. Disappoint. I was a fan of both! Slight more favoritism toward the graham cracker one, I like the graham pieces in the ice cream. It was $5-6 for a small which is two scoops- worth it :) The two girls in here were so sweet and also really quick with our ice cream. Cute little spot, bright ambiance when you walk in. I mean, it's ice cream. Can't go wrong with it!

"Eastern-inspired ice cream and other sweets, next door to La Vaquita in Durham"…read more Stopped by this lovely shop at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The name a little hard to catch, but it's a small greenish building immediately beside La Vaquita on Chapel Hill Road (with the giant cow on the roof). The outdoor area is quite nice, with a fenced outdoor area having swings and other seating/ space for families. We were greeted quite warmly when we arrived. They had maybe ~15 flavors of ice cream or similar (will return to that in a second) as well as other sweets like baklava. But this is not your ordinary ice cream shop-- the flavors were unusual. Cucumber, date, and others caught my eye, but I didn't try those. Unlike one Yelp reviewer's comment, when we went, there was both a regular pistachio as well as a vegan pistachio option. I got something different-- I tried the falooda... a Persian inspired ice-cream-like dish with rose syrup and small cooked noodles. The texture is slightly like an italian ice, but the flavor was great. However, there's more-- on a table off to the side, there were separate lemon and cherry flavors that we were invited to try adding to the falooda. Let me tell you-- either addition turned a good dish into a heavenly dish! Sooooo good. Try it, but only if you're open to "this isn't just ice cream". There were also some wafer cookies to the side we were invited to have with our respective dishes. Seating inside was stools at benches facing a thin window bar-- outside is nicer if you have a big group and/ or if weather is nice, but it was fine. I did stop by the restroom briefly, and it was clean, too. Overall, definitely plan to come back to this eastern-inspired ice cream shop, and I encourage others to give it a try too!

They've got a great setup and haven't changed it much with the reopening phases. They are keeping their staff safe but also have a great setup for getting customers the excellent food they're used to.  Recently opening up under the same roof as Koyku is Flip's Griddle Burgers. Basically it's another menu you can order from at Kokyu and under the same roof. Recently my wife and I ordered some food from both places. I love the burnt end nachos but really wanted to try a burger from Flip's.  I went with the PB BBQ Burger (pork belly on a large burger paddy along with 3 different kinds of onions - Crispy Shallot, Pickled Reds & Fresh Scallions. PlusTex*Asian BBQ, Cheddar, Lettuce and BFD Sauce.  Y'all this burger was ridiculous! It was cooked to perfection, which is a tough thing for a take out burger. It's also massive. This was one of the best flavor experiences I've had this year. I also got a side of the steak fries (which had replaced the tots from Kokyu - and while I'll always love the tots these fries were a great replacement. The Same flavor profile as the tots.  We also split a side of the Crispy BBQ Shrimp which were very tasty. I'd easily go back and get all these items again. As always Kokyu does a superb job with their food even with the different menus they are offering now out of their establishment. I can't wait to try more from Flip's menu. Highly recommended.
