The nicest staff! They gave us a free sample of the vanilla soft serve while we were waiting. The taiyaki was so fresh and perfectly crispy. Every flavor I tried (red bean, custard, Oreo cream cheese, blueberry cream cheese, Nutella) was delicious. Cute, little place I would definitely recommend! read more

This is a delightful Korean/Asian dessert shop. The taiyaki (Japanese name) fish-shaped filled dessert pastry is probably the most special item on their menu.(BUNGEOPPANG is the Korean name). You can get it with your choice of traditional sweet red bean, as well as cheddar cheese, blueberry cream cheese, or custard. They are baked like a waffle, and ready in about 10 minutes. WARNING: let it cool for another 5 minutes! They also sell a decent selection of bubble tea, hand-rolled ice creams, hand-dipped ice creams in interesting flavors, cookies and other drinks/desserts. The proprietors are very kind and friendly, and genuinely enjoy serving up their delicious treats. The decor is simple, clean and bright. This is a great place to bring a friend or group for when you want to explore something special and different. read more

So new that you can still see the tracing lines and half done paint on the walls? We are curious enough to come back and try the savory / spicy taiyaki. The soft serve only comes in vanilla. Good stuff. Not overly churned so as to taste like frosting. read more

We were craving some sweet pick me up and this place did not disappoint. It is a perfect spot for afternoon sweet something or a great first date place or perfect family outing. There are different flavors Thai - style roller ice- cream. We had Oreo flavor and coffee. Coffee was amazing - made with freshly made expresso - it was not too sweet and had a distinct flavor. I am coming back again just to have that one again. Japanese taiyaki (fish-shaped pastries) are piping hot and delicious. We tried red bean paste, custard and Nutella and they were the perfect compliment to our ice - cream. There is also soft serve ice cream, boba, and coffee. Really nice service. We are totally coming back again and again! read more

Friendly owner and great tayaki and lavender tea. The overall atmosphere of the store is a mix between a cafe and an ice cream shop but the best part is the red bean tayaki served hot and steamy - perfect for the winter. read more

What a fantastic ice cream plus so much more treat! We were so glad we made the 15 minute drive across Durham just for this place. The rolled ice cream is so unique for us and delicious. The Takiyaki fish shaped waffles filled with delicious things like custard, Nutella, red bean paste, etc. were mind blowing! We will definitely be back many times. What a gem!!! read more

Super cute store, friendly service, really fairly priced in my opinion for the triangle. Has a lot of drink (coffee, matcha, boba yea) options, ice cream and taiyaki filling options but don't expect this to be a bubble tea shop with a large array of ways to customize a drink. My strawberry matcha milk tea and taiyaki were great and not overly sweet. read more

This place is great. I started off ordering a latte but then I saw the rolled ice cream and the custard filled pastry things U don't know the name of and boba. Anyway, I ended up with a table full of dessert and drinks. No regrets, it was delicious. There's another page in the area I've gotten boba that's always a wait because of people getting coffee. This salt and cocoa was much less of a headache. The people who work there are really nice and personable. Great experience. read more

We had the S'mores Rolled Ice Cream and the Chocolate Rolled Ice Cream, and a Nutella Taiyaki! The taiyaki was our favorite--we will definitely come back to try the other flavors. The service was fast and very friendly. Great ambiance, would be good for studying on a slow day. We are looking forward to returning and trying their boba. read more

The cashier remembered me and always greets me with a smile. The service is quick and pleasurable. There's rarely too much of a wait to get anything. The ambiance is colorful and fun. It almost makes me sad seeing this place not as busy as it should be. Love their dirty chai! read more

Delicious rolled ice cream. Yummy snacks. art supplies to draw...cozy inside. Owners are very attentive and kind.

Fire all the ice creams are delicious and I mean all of them. The s'mores roll ice cream dang there wanting me to go back for seconds. Don't past this place up and it's affordable for my family of 4. read more

I am a big fan of this place. The rolled ice cream is done really well; I'm partial to their coffee rolled ice cream and their taiyaki. The owners are friendly and the store is a nice atmosphere. Haven't tried any of the boba drinks yet. I've saved that for the next time I am there. read more

Salt N Cocoa has become our new go-to ice cream place! It's a comfortable environment, clean and peaceful, and friendly service. They put a lot of care into making them. You can tell the rolled ice cream creations are high-quality with really rich flavors. We love the coffee, peanut butter, and peach. They also have coffee drinks and waffle creations that look delicious. read more

Salt & Cocoa is now one of my favorite coffee shop work spots. Between the drinks, the taiyaki (get the spicy sauce!), and the lovely owners, it's a really wonderful place. The taiyaki (fish shaped waffles) are DELICIOUS and they also offer sweet fillings for the less savory loving crowd. My kids love the boba tea and they even have a chocolate milk boba option for younger taste palettes. They also have rolled ice cream. I've never personally tried it, but the flavor list is totally mouthwatering! read more
