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.

Hey, did I mention that we are open on the fourth? Also, we have lots of extra ice cream cakes in the case today, including this cotton candy/vanilla creation! ☁️🍬🎂🆒 Oh hi, I made blackberry-strawberry soft serve. P.S.: we’re open on the 4th! Extra cake for sale today! Vanilla and orange cream ice creams with vanilla cake pieces and vanilla and orange whipped cream. 🍊🍨🎂🆒 Beverly made a very tiny batch of a fun+festive flavor for the 4th of July. ☁️🍬 Oh yeah, also, here’s your daily reminder that we will be open on the Fourth of July! Got our first delivery from @bahamabluebs today! Definitely going to make something special for this weekend. Oh, also: we will be open this Fourth of July, even though we’re normally closed on Mondays! 🎉
