14 Best Ice Cream Shops near Carrboro

“We've enjoyed dinner at Napoli multiple times in the last few months. Every time it's been excellent. Delicious pizza and salads, with frequent creative specials. Good vegetarian options. Amazing house made gelato and sorbetto available in modest portions. Attentive service. Wonderful food and outstanding value. Highly recommended!“

“My husband and I absolutely love Aidan's Pizza! We love that it is a small family business with great prices, excellent customer service, and high quality food. We have ordered many times and are always thoroughly satisfied with our meal. The Cheese Steak is delicious: perfectly cooked meat, toasty bread, cheesy, and well seasoned! We have tried the cheese sticks (the small is very generous!), the Kickin Tarheel Pizza, the Sweet Carolina Pizza, the Greek Goddess pizza (pictured), and the Caprese pizza. The pizzas are always fresh with generous toppings and delicious crust. Give Aidan's a try - you're missing out otherwise!“

“We walked in to Ben & Jerry’s UNC with 14 worn out volleyball players and 3 tired coaches. John and Haddie (I hope I got the names right!) showed no fear and gave us the much-needed scoops with smiles! Thanks for reviving our troops with sweet treats and sweet greetings! #gcavolleyball #uncchapelhillvolleyballcamp“

“We made three visits to Chapel Chill in a single weekend…That’s how good it is! The ice cream is delicious, and after trying 6 flavors, I still cannot decide on which one is my favorite because they are all amazing. Chapel Hill Toffee, Banana Pudding with Biscoff, Buckeye (O-H), Mocha Chocolate Lace, Coffee Oreo and Butter Pecan are all winners in my book. My daughters, 8 and 12 yo, also enjoyed the Half Birthday Cake, Cookie Dough, S’mores, Mint Chocolate Chip and the non-dairy Ube…and now I have been told I need to find more ube ice cream. The servings are generous, and who doesn’t love free sprinkles? The scoopers were all lovely, patient (especially with some indecisive kiddos who wanted all the samples), and happy to be there. My only complaint is that we have to drive 500 miles to have it again!“

“this is great ice cream plus has magnificent view“

“Always a family favorite! Great staff and awesome frozen yogurt.“

“A nice variety to choose from“

“Best bubble tea place in town :) Milk tea, thai tea and mango-peach smoothie is my favourite! Love it“

“Absolutely love this place! From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with friendly, family-run vibes and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Their rolled ice cream, made-to-order taiyaki, boba drinks, and soft serve are all top notch — rich in flavor, beautifully made, and never too sweet. Watching them prepare the treats is part of the experience, and every visit feels special. They also do an amazing job with coffee drinks and have options like oat milk available. This is hands-down one of Durham’s best dessert shops — worth a visit for families, date night, or anytime you’re craving something sweet!“

“Amazing frozen yogurt and amazing people that work there!“

“Delicious chocolate chip cookies!“

“love the mangonadas :).. I recommend this place:)“

“After managing various locations in different states, I’m really a critic when I come to a store. I can’t help it, I’m always seeing if things are how they should be. They had it going on during a busy Sunday in the holiday season. The counters were clean, the tubs were scraped, they were offering samples and the ice cream was tempered just right. Def a vast improvement from this location years prior. Proud of the streets of southpoint.“

“The Crumbl cookie—ah, such a decadent creation. I savored it with great pleasure… and were fate to offer it again, I would not hesitate to indulge once more. No, I would welcome the temptation, again and again, until even the stars grew cold…..“
