Tonight I went with Carolina Crunch which has their Honey Salted Caramel ice cream mixed with Heath bars and Butterfinger. They use a lot of local ingredients here and this ice cream was made with honey from Mike's Bees in Raleigh. My wife had the banana pudding ice cream and it was excellent as well. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors here. Very creamy with a silky texture. This is better than the vast majority of places you'll go to for ice cream. Service was very friendly and patient as my family practically sampled every flavor on the menu. Lots of outdoor seating here which was perfect on a comfortable, moderately cool summer night. Fresh is one of the best ice cream places in the Triangle area. Definitely Stevie K Certified Legit!

This is my favorite place to get ice cream in North Carolina! It's so delicious. They are always…read morevery nice and patient. Whenever I have questions about the flavors they always give detailed explanations and don't rush to move onto the next person. My favorite flavor is the banana pudding. I've been to this location more than I can count JUST for the banana pudding ice cream. The other flavors are just as good. The picture attached is the bananas foster and the brookie. So good on a hot day! There's lots of outdoor seating and the bathroom is convenient if needed.

My school happened to finish Friday and poor guy working was by himself. However, it didn't phase him.

My husband ordered the love potion #9 in a waffle cone and I ordered a kids scoop of the buckeye in a sugar cone. I really enjoy all of their interesting flavors and can't wait to return for more.

On the downside is the ice cream flavor is only vanilla but other adds can change the flavor. What I loved that they had actually fresh strawberries - unlike many others that use freeze dried or frozen ones. I hope they keep it up. The service was quick and ambiance is nice that of a typical ice cream store. We enjoyed the place. The prices run a bit high. If they expanded it to have cup of scoop and kids scoop and more flavors beyond the basics I would consider giving it 5 stars.

Howling Cow Creamery is on part of NC State University's working dairy farm. The ice cream is…read moreproduced by the university. If you are looking for the nearby museum, that is the Randleigh Heritage Museum. It is a little further up the road, but appointments are usually required. Howling Cow has parking right outside, just watch the signs, as a few spots don't allow parking because of loading zones. Pets are not allowed, so leave them at home. Howling Cow sells ice cream, milk, sodas, water, cheese and other merchandise, such as clothing and water bottles, inside. The coolers are filled with to-go items, and there is even a separate check-out. If you are looking to enjoy your order there, you order at the register. They are a cashless facility, so remember your credit or debit card. You can get cones, cups, sundaes, and milkshakes. There are a few tables inside, and if you prefer to sit on the covered porch, there are tables and even some rocking chairs. The cows sometimes roam the pastures on cooler days. This visit, I went with the chocolate peanut butter ice cream brownie sundae. I wasn't expecting it to be so big and have as many of the toppings as it did. I couldn't finish it, but they had tops to put on it so you could take it to go. These were near where you pick up your order, so it's easy to grab one if you need one. If you are looking for quality ice cream with a variety of flavors in a peaceful setting, check out Howling Cow.

As someone with Celiac, it is nice to FINALLY see a gluten free variant of the cookies and cream ice cream! That was already a treat on its own. But that isn't it. They had gluten free Oreo toppings too which I did not get, however, this was a VERY nice surprise to see as a Celiac customer. The employee filled the cup up to the top with this delicious treat. The cookies n cream flavor is amazing, even if you have no allergies. When I asked to sample the m and m explosions and the cookies n cream, the employee was enthusiastic to provide me with the samples. If I can give 6 stars, I would. The atmosphere of the store is nice as well. There are images of cats on the TV screen and they promote adoption of cats. If I come to visit again, this is a go to, I recommend

You could have simply asked us to change the flavor, but instead we walked away without ice cream, and they walked away without cash. There are many many other ice cream and frozen yogurt shops in the area. This one won't be missed. Do they have the option for negative stars yet?
