    Such good ice cream for a great price and with rotating flavors every month. Just go.

    I am all about supporting local business! Visited this cute ice cream shop after having dinner at Cugino Forno across the way. The staff and service was great. There are so many unique flavors to choose from that I couldn't decide so I let the staff choose for me - Strawberry & Honey. It was so light and flavorful, and the upstairs patio was the perfect place to enjoy it!

    Ugh the hold that guest flavors at Two Roosters has on me... I've been here a ~couple~ of times since my last review haha - Oct: Red Velvet & Pecan Honeycomb - Nov: Sweet Potato Casserole (forgot to take a pic though)- not too sweet! - Feb: Went for National Breakfast for Ice Cream Day (love that this is a thing haha) & tried their BoBerry Biscuit Sundae with the Frosted Fruity Crunch; y'all this was probably the best thing I've ever had here (the warm biscuit + chilly ice cream + the berry glaze drenching everything = absolute heaven). Took a pint of the Cinnamon Coffee Toast Crunch home & tried Leprechaun's Delight a weeks later. - Mar: Bananas Foster French Toast & Cannoli- probably my least favorite out of the flavors I've tried, but that's not saying much haha. - Apr: Carrot Cake Chocolate Chip (yum! definitely a top guest flavor) & Dairy-Free Fudge Brownie (would never be able to tell it's dairy-free). - May: Mississippi Mud Pie (loved the pecan brownies!) & Strawberry Lemon Pound Cake (wished I got more of the lemon flavor, but still v good). Good service, good ambiance. 10/10, no notes as always.

    DELISH ice cream and fantastic customer service. We had just one party in front of us and the two waiting on us were speedy.

    I always forget this is across from Hi-Wire and am always pleasantly surprised! They always have such unique flavors and I've never had a bad scoop! I had the s'mores and the caramel peanut butter Oreo. Both were so good! I'll def be going back.

    I absolutely adore Two Roosters - it's one of my absolute favorite staples in Durham to get ice cream. They have incredible "forever flavors" that never miss a beat and a rotating selection of special flavors which are always fun to try. Bonus that they have a large, free parking lot plus it's right next door to Hi-Wire and Cugino Forno if you're looking to grab a beer or slice of pizza. They have limited seating inside with more space upstairs with tables/chairs on the patio. However, most of the time there's plenty of room to sit outside along the open green area facing the entrance. Staff are friendly and most times I recall they allow you to sample up to 2 flavors. For the month of May, their special flavors are ones created by kids - I tried the key lime pie and caramel PB oreo in a waffle cone. The waffle cone was crispy, and held up very well, though I wish had a touch more saltiness/savoriness which I think always beautifully complements sweetness. - Key Lime Pie: 9/10, sweet and balanced perfectly with the slight tartness of the lime. The mixed-in graham cracker crumbs were so yummy and gave a lovely texture contrast. The base ice cream was on the "drier" side and tended to break off in chunks versus being super creamy/melty if that makes sense. I didn't mind it at all as the flavor was on point. - Caramel PB Oreo - 7.5/10, vanilla base with Oreo cookies and Reese's pieces. As expected, definitely on the sweeter side. It was reminiscent of a McFlurry and was loaded with mix-ins in every bite! If you love add-ins to your ice cream, this one's for you! There was only a bit of caramel throughout which was fine by me as I am not the biggest fan of caramel plus I thought the ice cream was plenty sweet already. The ice cream base in this one was very creamy and smooth.

    Friendly service and delicious ice cream! They offer a regular menu, plus rotating monthly flavors. If you love trying lots of new flavors, they offer a flight of 6 scoops that's well-priced.

    (2) Two scoop sundaes (worth every penny!!!)

    My sister and I came on a Sunday after a long walk thru Duke Gardens (which is a bit of a drive...don't want to confuse anyone!) They had so many interesting flavors (that change!) that it was very hard to choose which one to pick. The staff was kind and very helpful. We both decided to get a two scoop Sundae...I got the sea salt chip cookie dough and cookies and cream while my sister got the bourbon caramel cookie and cinnamon donut. O. M. G. Every single bite was absolutely delicious. AND!!! We got two ginormous waffle sundaes for $18. Seriously, they were the size of our face! The inside is not much but the weather outside was actually really nice and there is PLENTY of seating out there. Numerous other restaurants are in the area and there are a lot of people & things to watch. She comes to visit twice a year...this will have to be a tradition for at least one of her yearly visits.

    Pup loves sola cinnamon donut!

    Has new monthly flavors that local NC business support and create. It is always busy but service is fast! The flavors are more on the mild side.

    Sea salt cookie dough & grandma's trifle

    Great choice of standard flavors and new flavors every month. Plus they offer an ice cream flight!!!! Everyone was super friendly and the ice cream was so good! Loved the outside area. Definitely a hidden gem!

    Open play area is awesome!

    All of us were satisfied customers, delicious cookies and cream non-dairy, and I loved the dark chocolate mint chip! This location is great with the open green space for kids to play, we always come here when we visit.

    See all

    I'm not sure if it's considered the off-season right now, but when we went, unfortunately, there…read morewas no picking to be had. So there's not really too much to do other than sit on some rocking chairs & eat some ice cream (which we did enjoy doing.) I didn't even realize that there was a trail out there until after we had already left and I'm seeing other people's reviews so they may need to put up signs for that in the store area. I feel like the inside is really just ice cream, coffee, and a small little nursery area. Not sure if the drive out there was really worth it for the 15 to 20 minutes we spent out there. The banana ice cream was really awesome though and all of the employees there were very helpful and nice. Definitely a place that you go to when there's an actual event unfortunately we just missed the fall wreath making event Seems like people bring their kids out there to run around the outdoor area. Not sure if the prices of the ice cream or the plants was necessarily great, but it's a smaller owned business I'm sure so it tracks

    Great farm with short trail and unique wood troll figurines…read more They have a small garden shop. The staff was friendly and quick to service. They make homemade icecream and sorbet year round. Also they serve coffees and lattes. There is some picnic tables around to enjoy coffee and icecream with a beautiful view of the farm. I tried the coffee leche icecream and the strawberry and green apple cider sorbet. There all great 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!

    Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams - Double Dough & Toasted S'mores

    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)!
