I'm from California and went here on a Yelp review. Further, I DID NOT want ice cream from a commercial location i.e., McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Coldstone, so I came from The Drury to this spot AFTER getting tacos from some place that smelled like gasoline Ok, the young lady working the counter (ice cream) seemed afraid of me. I get this all the time; however, being I saw people of color walking in the area, I thought it was a location used to people of all ethnicities. Anyway, she was not the friendliest branch on the tree. The ice cream was no better the Baskin Robbin's and they had NO Butter Pecan. The waffle cone (homemade) was sweet. I won't be referring this spot to any of my friends who may visit from Los Angeles. read more

Delicious homemade ice cream with some vegan options. The two of us split two scoops. There were so many options to choose from we took a while to decide. The pumpkin cheesecake was so good and the salted caramel. You'll be satisfied with whatever you pick. The employee was so patient and pleasant. read more

So good! I had the wedding cake which was perfectly almondy and cakey, as well as the mint chip which was different than any mint chip I've ever had. The staff member was perfectly lovely and welcoming. Will definitely recommend this to other folks traveling to New Orleans that want an ice cream spot! read more

Such a cute ice cream spot on Magazine! All of their ice cream is hand made and they have unique flavors. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch was the best flavor in my opinion! The cookies and cream was good, but could've been better. The service was good as well. The prices are steep for ice cream, but being on Magazine street I understand. Creole creamery is still my favorite! read more

This place is still incredible. It's my hands down my favorite ice cream parlor in NOLA, and it's not even close. I live a few blocks away from another popular ice cream spot in town and I'll blow right by it to grab a scoop from parish parlor. My favorites are the double chocolate and the brown butter cookie dough. And it's fun to take a flyer on some of the seasonal flavors. Right now he's got king cake. Great spot. Delicious ice cream with high quality ingredients and thoughtful recipes. read more

This has to be one of the most underrated ice cream parlors in New Orleans. I never hear anything about them, but their flavors are outstanding. I have been to this establishment six or seven times now, and every time I'm very happy with the quality. The place feels a little bit more high-end, so I would recommend this for adults going on a date, rather than bringing the whole family and expecting a lot of kid focused flavors and colors. It is a very small place with only about 4 to 5 tables, so I definitely recommend grabbing your ice cream and taking a walk down Magazine Street with it. read more

Best ice cream I've had! Went 3 days in a row while visiting New Orleans on Vacation.

This little ice cream shop had such a cozy vibe to it. My boyfriend and I love coming here. All of their ice cream is home made with love and you can tell. Best ice cream I've ever had. Honestly makes me not want ice cream from anywhere else at this point! read more

My fiancé and I had a hefty lunch around the area and decided to take a nice stroll on Magazine Street to walk off the calories. I found myself popping in and out of dessert storefronts, but the ones I visited didn't quite pique my interest. What got me hooked on Parish Parlor was the the fresh buttery smell of cones. There was one softspoken, friendly server at the time who greeted us. I tried a couple of flavors including the Cinnamon Toasted Crunch and Pecan Pie. Both were delicious but the funny thing was that I ended up getting the ice cream I didn't try, Bananas Fosters. That said, I knew I was going to get Bananas Foster the moment I set my eyes on the flavor. I'm a huge fan of banana flavored ice cream, so despite being biased I thought the Bananas foster was outstanding. The banana flavor was prominent, and the texture of the ice cream was so smooth. Only negative was that I found it to be overly sweet. I could eat a scoop of ice cream easily, but I couldn't finish half of the single scoop since it was that sweet. read more

The Bananas Fosters, Eggnog, Peanut Butter Mud Pie and the Pecan Pie ice creams were very delicious!

A nice little surprise tucked away on Magazine St. nestled in blue and white it is a beacon in the summer heat. They usually have vinyl spinning and the staff has always been friendly. Note: they prefer cash but accept cards. Every flavor I have tried I have liked. They are a fresh ingredient shop. So no neon green mint chocolate chip here. It is light with a strong mint floral flavor studded with chocolate chips. Their seasonal flavors are good as well. But do yourself and your stomach a solid and only get the small single scoop. Your tummy will thank you later. read more

Parish Parlor is a small-batch ice cream parlor which specializes in classic French-style ice cream and seasonal sorbets along with offering Vegan and alternative milk-based options. Parish Parlor is located in the New Orleans Lower Garden District about 8 minutes and 2 miles away from the French Quarter at 1912 Magazine Street which is one of the busiest commercial arteries in the area. I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and dense the ice cream here was. This is some of the best ice cream in the New Orleans area although it does come at a bit of a premium. They have a very interesting selection of flavors and unlike some other area ice cream and gelato joints their ice cream has very deep and intense flavors. Overall if you love full flavored ice cream that is a pleasure to eat then you should make a visit to Parish Parlor.

Expensive. Ice cream is high in sugar but flavors are unique and seem lighter on the stomach than those from your chain with 32 flavors. The people I brought some for (born and raised in New Orleans) said it is their absolute favorite so maybe I just don't get it. But, after tasting it, I think it is slightly above average. I liked the idea of the lemon ricotta but it is a bit too tart and lacks that something that makes me want to come back for more. I may come back to try other flavors and update this review but this is how I feel for now. read more

There are many good places to get ice cream these days, and Parish Parlor is no exception. I loved the roasted strawberry and banana fosters flavors. Just wish they offered kid scoops. read more

Delicious and creamy with some great unique, but also classic, flavors. Happily split a single/small scoop into two flavors and provides samples. Some of the best coconut I have ever had and the banoffee had great texture. Excellent stop! Would go again and highly recommend! Friendly staff. read more

Freshest mint chocolate chip ice cream I've ever tasted. Hands down, slap-me-silly good Enjoyed the sit and relax vibe. Selection of ice cream was very tempting and the hospitality was superb. I went for a walk from my hotel on St. Charles and found the Parish Parlor on Yelp: another great find and recommendation from the Yelp Community!! Very reasonable pricing, IMO. Worth every penny! I had a large milkshake and it was delicious. My only wish is for a Parish Parlor closer to home. read more

I like Parish Parlor, I wouldn't say I love it. Ice cream is basic, service is decent depending on who is serving. The last few times I've been, the ice cream hadn't been the best. Ambiance is cool, located right on Magazine! read more

HIGHLIGHT of my day. decided,I'm gonna treat myself to this amazingly crafted ice cream during my night shift job and saved half of it for my day shift job, Threw it in the freezer and enjoying it the next day and it taste exactly the same, Simply amazing great people ,great ice cream. Love the hand packed pints! #support small businesses My fave flavors: "the Salted caramel" was my favorite for a while! but sadly they won me over with a new flavor called "Expresso brownie " it's THE BOMB DOT COM read more

I really liked this ice cream ship. There are plenty of flavors to choose from and the ice cream is super decadent and creamy. It was a great way to end a busy day for us. read more

This is a place you definitely want to visit! I'm typically a creole creamery place but I love the flavors here and I'm usually a traditional (vanilla, butter pecan) ice cream gal. Try the espresso ice cream, it was def a fav for me. I also like the different toppings and that they have pecans rather than chopped peanuts. Service was friendly and patient as my son wanted to try almost all the flavors. We took our order to go but there was a little table for sitting in the front. This is also a nice place to grab a treat and stroll down magazine. And they have Apple Pay! read more

Had the mud pie vegan ice cream. It was good. Small place and some good choices. Would like to do the espresso next time with some chocolate coffee beans. Hopefully they will get a vegan vanilla to go with it to make an affogato. read more

If you want something done right, do it yourself. The owner of this ice cream shop did not miss the mark. Each flavor is hand crafted to perfection. Pick a flavor, any flavor and you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to come back & visit!! read more

Very cute spot, with interesting flavors! The lemon ricotta was divine. Loved this little ice cream spot.

Their non-dairy ice cream actually tastes like real ice cream and the texture is spot on too! I tried the peanutbutter mud pie flavor and I would not have been able to tell the difference between this and dairy ice cream. Remindwd me of old school Ben and Jerry's. Absolutely delicious and a must-try. The other flavors were both sorbets--hurricane and hot springs. I was allowed to try them all but selected the one I did because it was the sweetest. The prices are a tad high for the size you get, but this was so good I will nonetheless be back... probably often since it's so close to home! read more

Wow, love the interior design of this place! So sophisticated and clean. Love all the plants that are interspersed throughout the space, and the mirrors that contrast the brick wall.  I tried the lavender and the creole cream cheese flavors. TThe lavender was pretty much what I expected, but the cream cheese almost felt like I was eating a frozen cream cheese. For both flavors, the ice cream was a bit icy and lacking texture-wise. I'd come back to try other flavors, but wasn't very impressed this first visit. read more

"Two pounds of mint for three gallons of ice cream!" I don't often leave reviews for ice cream places, but a shoutout to the Mint Chocolate ice cream at Parish Parlor, which has an intense natural mint flavor (from real mint leaves) unlike any other mint chocolate ice cream I've had before! The creamy minty base was complemented by little crunchy morsels of chocolate, which rounded out the flavor and texture of the ice cream. I got this on a gingerbread waffle cone, a special December flavor, which had just the right crunch and sweetness! The server here was also super friendly and offered us plenty of samples of their homemade concoctions. read more

We hiked to Fat Boys on Magazine Street and they were closed on a Tuesday (sigh Yelp...the times listed on their page are incorrect) and so we Yelped and found if we hiked some more we would run into another ice cream place and that was Parish Parlor and luckily, their website is correct in the "hours" department and we found them to be open a Tuesday! And to boot, the ice cream was amazeballs!!! We tried strawberry, lemon, and lavender flavors and my friend declared it the best ice cream she had ever eaten. I too delighted in my scoop. It was very good and perfect in this heat. read more

I always look for ice cream shops where the dairy-free/vegan flavors aren't just sorbet. They had vegan mud pie and vegan Irish coffee flavors when I went. I got the vegan mud pie two days in a row while visiting Nola and it was amazing. I do not like coconut-based flavored ice creams because I find they almost always just end up tasting like coconut which I don't like. This mud pie ice cream, however, did not taste like coconut at all. It was amazingly creamy unlike other vegan ice creams I've had. There was a chocolate swirl in it that almost melted slightly faster than the rest of the ice cream in a way that made it like fudge drizzle over the top. It was so good. I got it with pecans on top and it tasted like a turtle sundae. I appreciate this place carrying a solid dairy free flavor consistently available. They also had vegan Irish chocolate which had a good flavor but was slightly icy when I sampled it. read more

Parish Parlor is a cute new ice cream shop on Magazine! There is outdoor patio seating in the back, and a few tables out front. Staff is super welcoming and friendly, offering as many samples as you need to make your choice. I had the Lavendar Fog and Mint Chocolate -- they let you split the flavors for single scoop! The flavors were strong, which I loved, and the ice cream felt very light, though was a little on the icy side -- that's probably because of the nature of the flavors I picked though. Their Mint Chocolate is probably one of my favorites because the mint flavor tastes fresh, not artificial. The Lavendar Fog had a potent earl grey flavor, and is vegan with a coconut milk base. I'd probably pick a creamier flavor next time -- like their coffee flavor, made with Mojo coffee. For all you fall lovers, there's a pumpkin spice waffle cone. They have other interesting flavor combos so I can't wait to come back to try more! read more

Cute ice cream parlor with trendy decor and unique flavors. The ice cream taste delicious. I tried the seasonal flavor "chai" and it was tasty and not overpowering. I saw they have a Mojo Roasters Coffee flavor that is next on my list to try. They are dog friendly and offer puppuccino. They have outdoor seating right on Magazine to sit and enjoy the ice cream. read more

I'm happy a new ice cream place has popped up in this area. This location is near many other restaurants so it will be good to swing by after dinner or lunch. They have a good selection of unique and expected ice cream flavors. The service was great and let you sample flavors as well. Currently there is no indoor seating, but there was a table and chairs outside to enjoy the ice cream plus there is a little green space across the street where you can sit as well. Although I liked my ice cream, I did think $4 was pricey for a single scoop for the size it was. That being said, I will still probably come by when I get that ice cream itch. read more
