    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.

    We got an icecream cake! It was a hit, and was delicious. It tasted super authentic and gourmet, and was a fair price as we are on day 6 of eating it. YUM!

    I stopped in The Parlour today for ice cream. They had a wide variety of flavors. My friend and I tried several and thankfully the gentlemen behind the counter were not annoyed with us. I really liked that the taster spoons were metal instead of plastic. Less waste created that way. I finally decided on passionfruit pineapple and blackberry. Delicious! Honestly wish I could handle more scoops to try more flavors. I was offered a punch card while paying and I declined since I’m just visiting. That lead to a lovely conversation with the employee. Next time I’m in Durham, The Parlour is a must! Should be for you too. Excellent customer service and a quality product.

    At the Parlour today while on my latest trip to Raleigh Salted Butter Caramel and Banoffe ice cream(which btw is incredible) Make this a must stop place to visit when near. You will not be disappointed.
