Durham’s Favorite Handmade Ice Cream

Fall/Winter Hours start November 3

We change our hours slightly with the start and end of Daylight Savings Time each year. Starting Monday 11/3, the downtown shop will open at 2:00 Monday thru Thursday, still opening at noon Friday thru Sunday. The Parlour Junior will open at 2:00 Tuesday thru Friday and noon Saturday/Sunday. Closing times remain unchanged!

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 Cafe 300 at Swift. Plus, you can find our ice cream in desserts from Chez Moi Bakery, Alley Twenty Six, and E.O.’s Athletic Club!

Next week, both shops will be on our official [Fall/]Winter Hours. We shift hour every March and November to coincide with the start/end of daylight savings time. The big thing to remember is that downtown opens at 2:00 Monday through Thursday, and Junior opens at 2:00 Tuesday through Friday! Closing times are unchanged and Junior is still closed Mondays.

New seasonal drink special: caramel apple cider! Perfect for when the evenings get a bit chilly. Downtown only for now. 🍎🆒

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.
