The Parlour

All their flavors are solid options- their sorbet is hit or miss. The line can get pretty long on summer nights, but moves fairly quickly. They have a punch card system. Top flavor favorites this season are Vietnamese coffee, honey lavender, salty malty vanilla. Four stars, as the bathrooms aren’t always the cleanest, tables inside sometimes don’t get wiped between customers.

The Parlour’s icecream was a 10/10. It’s located in Durham, and is worth the drive from Raleigh. We got the Salted Butter Caramel, Almond Stracciatella in a Hot Fudge Sundae, and the Honey Lavender in a cup. The Salted Butter Caramel was quite indulgent with the different ingredients coming together just right. The icecream overall was quite rich and perfectly done. They’ve seating inside, and you can also sit in the public area right outside the restaurant. They also serve milkshakes and have an array of options to choose from(cups, cones, waffle cones etc.). Street parking is available outside. I highly recommend The Parlour to anyone looking for a sweet treat indulgence. We will be back here on our next visit to Durham.

We were needing a milkshake post procedure for my wife. Found this place and saw the rating and knew we were going to stop there. Cute inside and decent milkshake. Will return when we are back in Durham again.

The Parlour serves up really good ice cream. It's creamy and the flavors can be unique. I had the Salted Butter Caramel (tastes like toffee) and the Moroccan Rose. The Moroccan Rose was the standout for me - blend of rosewater, cardamom, cinnamon, and pomegranate, with pieces of figs, apricots, and pistachios - delicious, cardamom is such an underrated and versatile spice.

During our visit to the Durham, NC area, we made a delightful stop at The Parlour for ice cream. The Pumpkin Pecan Sundae served there is nothing short of autumn's essence in a bowl.
