Welcome to The Parlour

(but stay home)

We are temporarily closed to promote social distancing in the interest of public health. We hope to reopen for limited pickup-only service before our eventual full reopening. View the latest updates on our News page and/or follow us on social media.

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.

Our shop serves ice cream 7 days a week. We also serve baked goods made in-house, coffee, and other hot and cold drinks.

Around town, you can find our ice cream select Durham stores and restaurants.

You can also place a special order for ice cream cakes or ice cream by the gallon, to add our desserts to your special occasions.

ON THE GRAM:

A bit of good news: our recipe e-book is available for purchase! Link in bio, and yes, the recipe for this vegan coffee cookies+cream is in there. 😘

What’s everyone baking today? I just made a lemony ricotta-berry cake, with homemade ricotta (gotta use up all this milk 😅) Decided to reinstate the 3 p.m. teatime of my childhood. Hope everyone is staying healthy!

PSA: If you’ve gotta leave the house for groceries, you can find our pints at @bulldegadurham (they’ve got lots of other local goods too!) 😘

Couple things: 1. I’m working on my frozen dessert painting skills. 2. The mayor will be issuing a stay-at-home order starting tomorrow, so we won’t be reopening after all. We appreciate everyone who considers our ice cream an essential, but we also want to do our part to encourage folks to stay home.

Still working on the e-book, and I took this photo of my browned butter so that you can know what your browned butter should look like. In the meantime, link to our latest update is in our bio.
