Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Springing Forward

Daylight Savings arrives this weekend! As one does, we’re going back to our longer hours at both locations, opening at noon! (Junior is still closed Mondays, but downtown is 7 days/week). See you 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! We also have a walk-up window known as The Parlour Junior based out of The Common Market on Green + Iredell Streets.

But also! You can pre-order ice cream cakes on our site (for pickup downtown), or find select pints at: The Durham Coop Market, Bulldega, Der Nachbar Bottleshop, Nanny Goat RTP, Hops & Flower, and Melina’s Fresh Pasta. Members of the Duke community can now use dining points to buy select pints at Thrive Kitchen. Plus, you can find our ice cream in desserts from Chez Moi Bakery, Alley Twenty Six, and E.O.’s Athletic Club!

Strawberry cupcakes with vanilla+chocolate buttercream in the case downtown today!

Vegan flavors currently on the downtown menu: Pistachio and Girl Scout mint! Pistachio is made with pure Italian pistachio paste in our pea protein base, and Girl Scout Mint is a coconut cream base with loads of Thin Mint cookies. See you soon!

March flavors are here! (Except Guinness Stout Cake cause that one needed extra testing 😅)

On the March menu: banoffee! Banana ice cream with a dulce de leche swirl and graham cracker crumble. Downtown only for now, at Junior sometime next week probably.

Anyone in the market for a fridge merchandiser? This guy’s never needed a repair in the 13 years we’ve owned it! Just has some trapped condensation. Message if interested, price very negotiable 😎

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.
