22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Chapel Hill

“Daniel was so great with our group! He patiently waited on all 4 kids as they made their choices and kindly served the adults in our group. He was friendly and made the whole experience wonderful, especially on a super hot day! Well done Daniel!“

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

“So my experience tonight was the picture of customer service excellence.Let me preface this with the fact that I, alongside two random passerbys, was the ahole customer that walks in 10 minutes before close.I entered behind the two passerbys and watch the conversing employees end their talk and get into work mode. Their promptness was wasted, though, as the two ghouls that shambled off the street ahead of me acted as though they were going to wait until closing time to order.If this bothered the cold stone employees, I could not tell. As a matter of fact, I felt that I was more visibly bothered by the duo's languor than either of the three associates.Two of the associates set to task indefinitely once the gents could figure out their order, all the while the third associate cleaned until it was my turn to order. She was a pleasure to work with; it was service with... well, the sound of a smile, as they still have to wear masks on the job.Nevertheless, they wished us all a good night and I regret not asking for their names so I could commend them all individually here.I have only had positive experiences here recently and I believe this spot will be hard pressed to replace these three when they're gone.“

“Only a couple times has the service been slow, but for the most part, everything has been fine.

“So good! They're one of a kind, right in downtown Chapel Hill. It cost the same amount for one to three toppings, and they usually have eight different frozen yogurt flavors available at any given time. Also, you can get on their text list and get coupons sent to you, like buy one get one free or a dollar off any size.“

“The best thing here is the gelato. It’s super high end. Smoothies >$7 latte >$7. Served in to go cups. Not a ton of natural lighting, but some seating decent for working. The gelato is really nice actually, esp spicy mango.

Some outdoor seating.

I have had their smoothies and one of their lattes, Rocky Mountain latte. I asked for less sweet and it was still too sweet to finish.“

“Daniel and Flynn were absolutely amazing! We ordered cookies for delivery through the website, and they were delivered to the wrong address. I called the store, Daniel picked up, and they kindly explained that the order had been assigned to a 3rd party delivery service. They immediately refunded our order, and after placing another order they assured it would be delivered by their driver. Flynn showed up soon after with our warm cookies and the two of them turned what would have been a 1-star review into a 5-star review!“

“First time going to Shake Shack and I can say I will be coming back. The food was great and the atmosphere felt good. The manager Tre was very outgoing and attentive. He made the experience even better because it made me feel welcomed, overall 10/10.“

“We love this place! Come here every time we pick up or bring back our NCSSM student. Today, she graduated and we made sure to visit one more time before we head home to NE NC for the summer (don’t worry, we’ll be back - go Tar Heels)!!! Look what the sweet owners did for her?! Thank you ❤️“

“Nice desserts and pleasant porch seating“

“this is great ice cream plus has magnificent view“

“Wonderful wood fired pizza and the chili oil at the table is delightful. Either inside or outside is nice. A few local beers on draft is a plus. The gelatos are great cap on the meal. The Parma pizza is my favorite. The gluten free crust is one of the best I’ve ever tried.

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

“The fool was great.I tried to get her from my armor but we didn't have no money.So I would like to do it in.It's like a little bit less money because sometimes I don't got enough money but you know I always wasn't hard because these is just that the money “

“This is the best Sweet Frog ever. Thanks to the associate Kyle. He gave the best customer service. He was friendly and helpful. Going out of his way to make sure that I had the best experience. When I came in, he greeted and welcomed me with a smile, as soon as I walk through the door. The food was very fresh and the store is so clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant and welcoming. So I will continue to come back because of this fantastic associate Kyle, and thank you for giving me the greatest experience at Sweet Frog! 🐸 👍👍😀“

“As a Maryland native, I appreciate a good snowball. This place has such a great variety that we've been back many times and it never gets old. The friendly staff take great care in crafting each snowball - moreso than any Maryland snowball stand I've been to. And I love that they repurposed an old bank to sell snowballs!“

“Have driven by so many times and finally experienced the outdoor dining last night on a beautiful evening. The food was delicious (even thought they had run out of the rice and beans we were excited to try - just a great reason to go back!) Loved the drinks we tried, and we even splurged with some ice cream at the end. Service was fast and friendly. Now we just wish we had gone sooner!!“

“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.“

“I walked in to a really friendly greeting! I was informed of the wait time for my order and comfortably waited with my sister, some nice tunes playing in the background. The birthday cake ice cream and Thai milk tea with boba were Awesome!!Generally, loved it!❤️“

“This ice cream is very good! Affordable and delicious! It’s a perfect place to run out for an ice cream in your PJs or sweats since they have a drive thru! We usually sit in the parking lot and enjoy the ice cream and watch traffic on Guess Rd…“

“I am nearing the end of my first pregnancy and seem to always be craving ice cream. Bruster's is my favorite to get in the area and I decided to Doordash two pints to surprise my husband.After they arrived, we pulled them out of the bag and noticed someone on the staff wrote really sweet messages on the lids. It made my night and was greatly appreciated. I don't know who was working the night of Tuesday the 9th, but you're amazing!“
