Two Roosters

800 Taylor St Suite 9-100

Looking for delicious ice cream in an airy, open space? Head to Two Roosters at Golden Belt. Consistently named some of the best ice cream in the state, Two Roosters is constantly dreaming up new concoctions. We’re big fans of the Dark Chocolate Mint Chunk, which features crushed Andes mints. Other popular flavors include cinnamon donut, sea salt chip cookie dough, and roasted strawberry and honey. It’s the perfect place for a night out with your sweetie.

Locopops

2618 Hillsborough Road

Ice cream is best enjoyed outdoors – it’s practically scientific fact. Locopops is home to another fantastic patio in Durham. With a vegan-friendly menu of delicious popsicles and ice cream, this dessert cafe is definitely worth a visit. Each tangy, vibrant flavor brings a sense of adventure to the tastebuds. Bring your favorite four-legged friend along for a pup pop, too!

Pincho Loco

1918 Perry St

Craving something indulgent? Head to Pincho Loco, home of the sprinkle waffle cone, churro milkshakes, and Oreo ice cream sandwiches. Native Latino flavors like guava and tamarind offer opportunities to try new things. Vegans will appreciate the delicious non-dairy options on the menu. Kind staff and delicious flavors make this unassuming ice cream parlor one of Durham’s very best dessert spots.

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream

908 W Main St

Jeni’s is the latest ice cream sensation to sweep the nation. Their addition to the Durham food scene has been highly-anticipated. A trip to their new location is a treat for the senses. You’ll first be hit with the delicious smell of waffle cones, followed soon by flavors like gooey butter cake and brambleberry crisp. While you can technically find many Jeni’s flavors on grocery store shelves, there’s nothing like the real thing!
