Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Downtown
Old West Durham

Welcome to 2025

Let’s resolve to eat more great ice cream!

Our flagship Downtown location is open every day and features housemade pastry + espresso drinks in addition to our renowned ice cream!

Our Old West Durham location The Parlour Junior is a mini scoop shop based out of The Common Market. It features a smaller (but still exciting) menus and is open 6 days a week.

You can also pre-order ice cream cakes on our site (for pickup downtown), or find select flavors in pints at The Durham Coop Market, Bulldega, and Melina’s Fresh Pasta. Plus, you can find our ice cream in desserts from Chez Moi Bakery and Alley Twenty Six

We make the best ice cream around, with the best ingredients. Our flavors are inspired by the seasons, our favorite well-worn cookbooks, and our childhood ice cream memories.

Manager Simón puts the finishing touches on this weekend’s special: the Devil’s Food Mocha Sundae! A warm devil’s food Bundt cake, Vietnamese coffee ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and espresso syrup. Downtown only for now. New flavor alert: malted cinnamon toffee! Our classic malted cinnamon ice cream with Skor toffee pieces mixed in. At our @thecommonmarketdurham location only for now. 😎 Our ICFBD menu is official! Will we see you there? Vegan friends, we now have s’mores ice cream in pints! Downtown only for now, Junior next week. Both locations open at noon - free hot fudge at Junior all day! See you soon, but only if it’s safe for ya, don’t be silly out there.
