Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Downtown
Old West Durham

Summer Hours have returned to Downtown

Daylight Saving Time has arrived, so we’re calling it Spring! The Downtown location is once again noon to 10:00 pm every day!

Our flagship Downtown Durham shop at 117 Market St. features housemade pastry + espresso drinks in addition to our renowned ice cream! Our Old West Durham location known as The Parlour Junior is a mini scoop shop based out of The Common Market. It features a smaller (but still exciting) menu 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.

Bonus flavor for the weekend: maple pecan brownie! Maple ice cream with pieces of pecan brownies. See you soon 😎 Just got an email about first of the season NC PEACHES!!! Peach flavor ideas for June: brown sugar peach, peach with raspberry swirl, or peach basil. Vote for your pick in the comments! Belated, but in case you were wondering, here’s our seasonal flavors for the month! Soft serve machine is fixed and we’re back to two flavors for the weekend! Perfect combo for this weekend: fresh mint and strawberry! Speaking of this weekend, may I advise all our local friends to visit our @thecommonmarketdurham location for a more relaxed experience 😅
