Off 9th St near the "Angel of Spring," you can find a cute little ice cream shop called Pincho Loco. Here, you can get native Latino flavors like tequila, tiger tail (vanilla, Mexican vanilla, and chocolate), guava, tamarind and more.
Hands down the best ice cream in Durham! Fantastic flavors, my personal favorites being banana pudding and graham cracker! They also have milkshakes and vegan flavors.
Down to earth atmosphere and great customer service.

This shop is SO good! Their Rum Raisin is spectacular, and they've always been very friendly.

Very very delicious popsicles and good service. Many options for their ice cream. Vegan, dairy- free friendly…. Best popsicle for sure

Oh my gosh! This is the best ice cream in Durham! It’s a hole in the wall, but you’ll be thrilled with the options. There’s something for everyone, including plenty of dairy-free choices. Everything is fresh and delicious. I had the churro sundae—so delightful! We also tried the brownie sundae, which was warm and decadent. Definitely going back!

Very friendly workers, helpful with samples, fun and wacky flavors, and some delicious ice cream. Had a scoop of rum raisin and one of coconut and they were both excellent.

Great ice cream, fun flavors and a good value. They usually have at least one coffee- based flavor, which I love. Always have a good experience.

THE BEST ICE CREAM IN THE TRIANGLE. I love ice cream so much. Luis and Marta are wizards when it comes to creating inventive flavors and different kinds of dishes. You can get ice creams scoops or go un pincho loco and get a mangonada, paletas, or a brownie sundae. Also the owners are such nice people. They greet me and my wife every time and are so kind. They’re also great at juggling the crowds of kids, college students, and tourists. Truly a fantastic ice cream spot.
