Welcome to The Parlour

Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Open Tue–Sun noon–10pm (still closed Mondays)

We’ve reopened our dining area with limited seating! Thanks for your patience as we work out our setup. You can also find our ice cream at The Durham Coop Market, Bulldega, Melina’s Fresh Pasta, and Dashi Ramen.

Now Hiring Scoopers!

We may need a few more friendly, energetic people to Scoop in the upcoming spring/summer busy season. Check out our job posting to get more info and apply!

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.

Open normal hours again! Also, we have a milkshake special: vanilla soft serve, caramel, white chocolate, Girl Scout Adventureful cookies, chocolate whipped cream! 🎉🥤🆒 Cute dog pic announcement: three of the four of us keyholders tested positive for covid, so we are going to have to be closed for the whole weekend. Apologies for any inconvenience, hopefully we will be back to business on Tuesday! On the menu now: jasmine-yuzu ice cream! Made with Yakami Orchards yuzu juice from Japan 😎🍊 YES WE HAVE IT (only one small batch for now, come early!) Many extra cakes in the case today, including this one: strawberry ice cream, honey lavender ice cream, Oreos, whipped cream, and strawberry malt balls. 🎉
