Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream
Fall/Winter updates:
Hours: Now that Daylight Saving Time is done, we’re on shorter weekday hours at both location. Slightly different per location, so please check the info at the bottom of the page for details. All the usual maps services (Apple, Google, Yelp) should be correct too!
Holiday Closings: On Christmas Eve, The Parlour downtown will be open until 8:00pm and The Parlour Junior will be closed. Then both locations will be close for our holiday break Christmas Day through New Year’s Day, reopening January 2! If you’ve got family in town for the interim, make sure to stock up! Ice cream pies will be available soon.
Find our ice cream:
Our flagship Downtown Durham shop at 117 Market St. features housemade baked goods and 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, featuring a smaller (but still exciting) menu.
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, Der Nachbar Bottleshop, and Melina’s Fresh Pasta. Plus, you can find our ice cream in desserts from Chez Moi Bakery and Alley Twenty Six. And members of the Duke community can now use dining points to buy select ½ pints at Thrive Kitchen!
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.
