Durham, NC’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

in Downtown and Old West Durham

Fall/Winter hours at The Parlour Junior

Our satellite location, The Parlour Junior, is a mini scoop shop based out of The Common Market on the corner of Iredell St. + Green St. It features a smaller (but still exciting) selection of scoops, shakes, and toppings 6 days/week. Starting September 10, Junior will be opening at 2:00 on weekdays.

Our Downtown location at 117 Market St. is open noon to 10:00 pm every day! Featuring our handmade ice cream, house-baked cookies + brownies, and coffee drinks!

And remember, you can always 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. You can also find our ice cream in some 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.

Vegan friends, have you tried the dirty chai coffee cake ice cream? It’s a coconut cream-chai-espresso base with chunks of homemade coffee cake. On the downtown menu now, coming to Junior soon! Have you tried our Brown Sugar Gingersnap ice cream? Housemade gluten-free gingersnaps are mixed into a spiced brown sugar base. On the menu at our downtown location now! 🫚🍪🍨 On the menu downtown now: cookie butter ice cream with housemade snickerdoodle pieces and pumpkin caramel swirl. For the fall girl in all of us 🍁🍂 Reminder: 100% of caramel apple cider float sales this week will be donated to hurricane relief efforts! Available at both locations, made with NC cider. 🍎 It’s that time of year again - honey apple cake is on the menu at both locations for the next few days. See you soon? #shanatova
