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.

Weekend shake special to celebrate our new neighbors @fateandfolkloredurham grand opening tomorrow! A lavender and cardamom shake with vanilla whipped cream (yes, we put some purple carrot extract in it to make it beautiful 🧚) and wildflower honey. See you soon? Well, looks like we may have a batch of honeysuckle ice cream next week. Will update accordingly! One week til strawberry ice cream! Our kitchen team is hard at work prepping @lyonfarmsveggies berries. PSA: classic vanilla and chocolate soft serve on the menu downtown this week. Strawberry shakes at Junior tomorrow or Wednesday I hope? 🤞 STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKES ON THE MENU DOWNTOWN! (Junior tomorrow hopefully?)
