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.

Nice sweet and salty combos and various other flavors to try and combine. Customer service was okay at that time , I would go again just to see how it is now but I didn't really care for the cashier at that time. Felt rushed and honestly never really gave me any insight as a first timer. Overall a cute little ice cream shop !

The unique parts about this place are the option for a core as well as tons on flavored dips. The service was great! We went when there was a bit of a line on a Saturday, and they were very efficient and helpful with the service. They also have stuffed cookies. I caved and bought one, but I haven't tried it yet. Also the price point is excellent given the uniqueness of this ice cream shop. I highly recommend!

Amazing ice cream and wonderful staff (especially Tae)!!!! Highly recommend if you're in Durham.read more

I've been coming to Jeni's for several years, dating back to when I lived in Columbus, Ohio (where…read morethe original brick & mortar was). The ice cream is unlike anything else I've ever had. Jeni always has unique flavors (along with the staples of vanilla and chocolate)- there is something for everyone! Definitely consider mixing and matching flavors (they allow you to do 1, 2, or 3 half scoops for that purpose). No matter what store front you walk into, the smell of freshly baked waffle cones will hit your nose instantly. Signature trademark of Jeni's (to me). I love that you can get a cone, waffle bowl, or just a triangle sample of a waffle in your bowl! The flavors are always changing, from season to season, with a few main ones always in the store. The ice cream is smooth and velvety- while several have an added texture, depending on what's mixed in (cake, brownie, caramel, etc). The store always has a line, but it moves fast!! Some of my absolute favorite flavors include the gooey butter cake, salted caramel, and double dough. They offer both dairy-free and gluten-free ice cream. Customer service is friendly, and they don't mind at all if you sample a bunch of different flavors! Love that you can buy pints here to go (and that I'm seeing them in retail stores like Publix now)!

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!

"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!

The employee who helped me was very friendly, patient, and kind, and helped me sign up for their loyalty program (which I didn't know was a thing!). As a bonus, there is a whole room full of local goodies right next to the ice cream room, so whether you need a sweet treat or a unique, local gift, I think this is the perfect place to find it!
