I'd walked by The Parlour many times but recently noticed their vegan flavors advertised on the…read moresidewalk board so I had to go in. Because, get this, there are several non sorbet options! (I love sorbet, but sometimes you want rich ice cream). Besides chocolate mint and Vietnamese coffee, there's an enticing lime sorbet and a rotating seasonal flavor, which in late July was a blackberry crumble that is delicious with little bits of crumble ribboned throughout (I love to chew my ice cream). A single scoop is actually quite generous and only $5. Service is speedy and friendly. The seating is plentiful and it was such a hot day, I opted to stay inside rather than walk around and pretend I was eating gelato in a small Medieval town in Tuscany.

I stopped in on the first night of a conference downtown and thought "I'd love to try this place…read moreout!" At lunch, I passed the A-frame they had outside and saw fellow conference attendees walk in. "Alright," I said. "I'll check them out later." I came in with one of my new connections and we happily chose our desserts. I chose their seasonal Girl Scout Mint flavor and my new connection chose a milkshake. Parlour staff let us sample the flavors they had in stock to help us make informed decisions. I appreciated it. Seating is in an adjacent room. The place carries a kid-friendly vibe and I saw one child happily enjoying her ice cream. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in DT Durham.

Two Roosters is such a fun and creative ice cream place with their different monthly flavors. For…read moreJuly, they have a podcast series. I ordered a small cup of Nancy Ray's PB M&M Cookie Dough. It's a vanilla based ice cream with peanut butter m&m cookie dough. I thought I loved cookie dough before, but peanut butter and m&ms mixed in took it to another level. Service was quick and polite. The Durham store was clean with a few tables downstairs. They did have an upstairs area, but I did not venture that way. My husband and I took our ice cream to go and ate near a fire pit right outside the store. There is a parking lot nearby as well with other restaurants and stores in the area. If you're able to go before the podcaster series is up, I highly recommend making your way to Two Roosters. I'm looking forward to what August brings for monthly flavors!

"Great milkshakes right behind the Durham Bulls stadium"…read more Behind the Bulls stadium, next to Moe's, sits this little treat. We came on a Friday evening at around 7pm, and there was no line (though a few people came in right behind us). The place is bright and airy, with some seating, and a great counter showing a selection of chocolate treats and the menu of milkshakes. I was delighted that they had some dairy-free milkshakes, given my lactose intolerance! And 4 choices no less! They of course had fancier flavors in the dairy set, more complex than CookOut (which I love). My girlfriend and I got the lactose-free cookies and cream milkshake. They fixed it on the spot, so we got it in maybe 2 minutes. Service was friendly-- they were patient with the customers behind us who were a bit unruly (more playful unruly than rude). One word-- DELICIOUS. Not too sweet, but just right. I've had some weird dairy-free milkshakes with a grittiness or chalkiness, but this was straight-up like how I remember the real deal. It was thick too, and unlike CookOut, they gave you a thick straw so you can actually drink with it. Why 4 stars and not 5? The price was a bit steep. With a $1 tip, this one shake (which was reasonably sized but far from huge) was over $10. But for the quality and selection, I do think it's "not unreasonable". Worth the try, and worth it for a special treat!

Let's get right to it... possibly the best milk shake I've ever had. Fun atmosphere and friendly…read moreservice. Jess and Teagan both deserve to be on the employee of the month list! I'd recommend the chocolate peanut brownie milkshake. That, along with some bark or a truffle will give you just enough of a sugar high to make it through throws at you today!

I stopped by for a birthday treat and had such a great experience. The staff was incredibly sweet,…read morepatient, and happy to answer questions while I debated flavors. If you're as indecisive as I am, they'll gladly let you sample a few before committing. The shop itself is bright, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The colorful decor and festive atmosphere make it a fun place to sit and enjoy your ice cream rather than just grabbing it to go. The hardest part was choosing from all the unique flavors. Everything I sampled was delicious, and the scoop I ended up with was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. You can tell they put a lot of thought into creating combinations that are both creative and genuinely tasty. Whether you're a local or just visiting Durham, Jeni's is absolutely worth a stop for a sweet treat. Great ice cream, great atmosphere, and even better customer service. Bonus points for making a birthday afternoon feel a little more special.

I came to Jeni's with some colleagues and ordered the darkest chocolate and the vegan peppermint…read morepatty scoops. They accidentally gave me the milk chocolate ice cream (pictured here) and later swapped it out for darkest when I asked. The ice cream is mediocre in my opinion and leans on the sweeter side. The ambiance and seating in here is plentiful. I came here with 10+ colleagues and we ended up sitting at the high top bar, not pictured. My main qualm with Jeni's is the temperature inside the store; it was freezing inside even though I was fully dressed in business casual with a sweater.

My wife looked to our Yelp bookmarks and found we were very close to Muffins so we decided to stop in. We started to explore the flavor options while the woman behind the counter helped another customer. I didn't want any ice cream but the rest of our party did and they all quickly decided to sample the banana pudding ice cream. They each loved it and all decided to order one scoop each on the freshly made waffle cones that were literally being made as we were there. Muffins features local ice cream by Maple View Farm in Hillsborough and it is delicious. Absolutely worth stopping at if visiting or driving by Mebane. Yum!

It was everything we wanted out of a late-night ice cream run! We got their mango ice & lemon lime…read moresorbet. The lemon lime sorbet was especially delicious. Wish that they had had a vegan ice cream (instead of just vegan ices, popsicles, or sorbets), but what they had was good, so I can't complain too much! Service was fast, the inside was cute, and there's a bench outside to sit on if it's a nice day.

I find it kind of uncanny how similar this place looks & the offerings they offer to Andia's original storefront so that felt a little weird. Employees are super sweet but need a better system for helping customers. The entire staff was helping one family while everyone else was waiting for them to be done. Overall, if I was close by and wanted ice cream I'd stop in but I wouldn't go out of my way for Chapel Chill.

We were at the Durham Farmers Market with friends, when we had a craving for ice cream. Our usual…read morehaunts were closed until noon, but I found this place, thanks to Yelp's search engine. We were not disappointed. They had over 50 flavors of ice cream and some unusual flavors like pine nut and soursop. They also had lots of flavors of popsicles that could be customized with toppings. The service was friendly and helpful. My only bits of feedback were that the ice cream flavors were not labeled, and there were no prices on the menu board. I would definitely return to try some of the popsicle flavors or unique ice cream flavors.

I was so happy to find this spot in Durham! This is a fun spot to get a treat. You can get paletas,…read moreice cream, and even nachos. I personally ordered the sundae, and was super impressed by the HEFTY scoops that the scooper gave us. It's definitely a sharing size place. First off, there are so many flavors! There's a bunch of options, almost too many to choose from. We got a few of the fruit flavors, but it was hard to choose from tasty options like tres leches and caramel. I'm giving four stars because the food was reasonably priced, but the ice cream isn't as creamy as I would have likedd. Overall, the vibe in here is fun! Think large butterfly mural and bright colors. This is the perfect place to take a family. I will say it was pretty crowded here on a weeknight, but there's actually a good bit of seating in the bar top. Lastly, Paletaria La Moncarca Mochoacana is located in a great shopping plaza that has ample parking, and has lots of interesting restaurants and shopping places nearby. I mean... who else dosen't want a treat after shopping at the TJ Maxx?
