“First time visit and it was great. Different flavors of milkshakes and I wanted to try the new pumpkin pie shake. That first sip was phenomenal. Tasted like a solid pumpkin pie slice, but after getting halfway thru, there was something that was very overpowering. Almost as if it went from pumpkin pie to ginger snaps. Which isn’t bad, but I’m more of a pumpkin pie guy. Staff was friendly and engaging. And the strawberry shortcake sundae…great! Fresh strawberries, pieces of fluffy cake and ice cream. Would definitely head back.“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem! I was curious how Indian ice cream, boba, and pizza could all exist under one roof — but somehow they pull it off perfectly.

The Indian ice cream (kulfi) is rich, creamy, and full of authentic flavor — I tried the pistachio and mango, and both tasted just like the ones I’ve had in India. You can tell they use real ingredients and not artificial syrupy stuff.

The boba tea is also top-tier — chewy pearls, not too sweet, and a great selection of both classic and creative flavors. I got a rose chai milk tea with brown sugar boba and it blew my mind.

And the pizza? Surprisingly amazing. The paneer tikka pizza is next-level — the crust is perfectly crispy and they’re generous with toppings. It’s not your usual pizza spot — it’s got personality and flavor.

The place is clean, the staff is super friendly, and the menu is full of cool surprises. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory, sweet, or refreshing, you’ll find something to love here.

Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back (probably too often 😅)!“

“This place has the best ice cream. Unfortunately, it does not have the best employees. Every single time I’ve been there in the last two years, my order has been wrong. Stopped by and ordered two sundaes tonight. Both of them had the wrong flavors in them. Like, not even close. We ended up throwing them away. Was going to complain but the kid that made them was running the register so I figured what’s the point. So, great ice cream when you get what you order. I’ve kind of forgotten what that’s like but I’m still recommending them.“

“Ordered a drink that came out wrong, explained it so I could order something different as it wasn't tasting right at all. Still get charged for the old drink, infact my drink points I redeemed didn't even get accounted for. Terrible service. They won't remake your drink either, even if it's clearly wrong. don't recommend cary location its only gotten worse.“

“Yes I recommend this Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins. Many years ago I used to work in Cary and I came here a lot the service was wonderful then too! I drove here twice today from Durham. To get a special coffee that I like. I couldn't get it in Morrisville and two Dunkin' Donuts in Durham. I think this is a bigger and more popular location because they're always busy. The staff is very friendly and kind and even though this is not anywhere near my house it's worth the trip out there and I'm trying to work it into my daily routine. They get my order correct too everytime.I had two wonderful service experiences today and I plan to go back many more times. This location has never disappointed me past or present. Thank you!!!“

“There is always a good selection of flavors with some new flavors rotated in periodically. There is also a rich assortment of toppings available. The frozen yogurt is self serve unless you buy some pre-packaged cups out of the freezer. The toppings are not self serve. There are not a lot of tables inside though they have never been full when I was there. There are additional tables outside but no shade and they overlook the parking lot.“

“I’m not sure where everyone gets their prices from because I can usually fill my cup up above the top and the price will be $10-$12. Anyways the froyo tastes delicious and there’s a good amount of toppings, although I usually don’t get any because the froyo is enough. The staff is very friendly and attentive despite it being self serve. Great place, even in the winter!“
