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.
