Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Now Hiring Scoopers!

Apply now!

We’re seeking friendly ice cream enthusiasts to serve up our treats in Downtown Durham. Mostly temporary (through September or October), but longer-term positions may be available. Experience is nice, but enthusiasm is essential! We need Scoopers who have some substantial evening/weekend availability and expect to be in town for most of the summer! More info at the application.

It’s 2023 and we’re still scooping 6 days a week across from CCB Plaza downtown. You can also pre-order ice cream cakes on our site, or find select flavors in pints at The Durham Coop Market, Bulldega, and Melina’s Fresh Pasta.

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.

Milk tea soft serve for $2.50 Tuesday Twist! Served with a cookie, unless you’re gluten-free. 🍦👍🏼 GUESS WHAT IT’S ALMOST STRAWBERRY SEASON ‼️🍓🍓🍓‼️🔜🍓🍓 It’s definitely float weather today! Our top picks: Vietnamese coffee with Coke, and salted butter caramel with Sprecher root beer. Stay cool, friends! 😎 Always fun to find new ice cream shops while we’re traveling - especially when we get a kitchen tour from the owner! 😎 (Don’t worry, I’ll get back to posting our flavors soon…April menu is almost finalized🍓🥧🎂) The best part of a road trip: when you stop on the side of the road to get ice cream even though you have no idea where you are.
