The Parlour
Phone: (919) 564-7999
Fans of The Parlour know their staples (cookies n’ cream, salted caramel, Vietnamese coffee, etc.) very well, but their limited and seasonal flavors are always unique and delicious. It's strawberry season in the spring, blueberry lemon season in the summer and pumpkin in the fall. Trust us, when you see it, nab a creamy peach and mascarpone scoop before it’s going ... going ... gone. Vegans rejoice, there are typically at least two to three flavors that are dairy-free and still remarkably delicious.

This is a fine ice cream establishment. They had plenty of good options for ice cream, shakes, and floats. There was plenty of seat space and functional bathrooms(ask for a key). The facility could use some aesthetic buffing but a great stop still. There is also a city square across the street that has additional walking/sitting space.

Number one gelato in Durham!
The cookies and cream flavor in a waffle cone is the best. They also have a wide variety of flavors including Vietnamese coffee and vegan options too.
I usually go for the cranberry pear sorbet when I want something tart!
There are a few tables to sit and chat. -
Located right in the heart of downtown, this coffee shop offers a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The service is friendly and quick, the coffee is good, and there’s a nice selection of ice cream scoops to choose from. A perfect place to unwind and enjoy a treat. ☕🍦✨

Came here for ice cream on a Sunday night. The selection of flavors was quite slim and they focused on mainly the classic flavors. A single was $5, and service was friendly. The ice cream was good quality and wasn’t too quick to melt. There was some indoor seating but we opted to leave and walk around while eating it.

THE best ice cream in Durham and the vegan blueberry lemon is the best flavor I've ever had!! They put effort into their vegan flavors too and it shows.
We come here at least once a month for the new flavors and much more often when the vegan blueberry lemon is featured. The employees are always kind and seem happy to be there and it's always clean.
I'd give The Parlour ten stars if I could. IT'S SO GOOD!
