Pistachio Ice Cream Ice Cream Shop •
2708 Chapel Hill Rd, Durham

“Owners are kind and decor is cute! Along with your standard flavors they have unique and unexpected ones like Cucumber, Saffron Pistachio, and sour cherry with falooda all done with well balanced profiles. They also serve fresh espresso and a rotating menu of traditional homemade desserts. There is some seating inside but more outside. Parking is a little tricky during peak hours. Not great for large groups unless you are passing through.“

“We tried the lemonade and the falooda at Salt N Cocoa, and both were excellent! The lemonade was fresh, refreshing, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet or too tart. The falooda was rich, creamy, and packed with great flavors and textures, making it a delicious dessert. Everything tasted fresh, the presentation was appealing, and the portions were generous. We’ll definitely be back to try more items.“

Banana Split

“Came here today for a smoothie, the employees were very nice and friendly there was one girl with red hair that was helping me she was extremely friendly and professional! They had everything down looked like a lot of teenagers were running the store while waiting for my smoothie I witnessed a difficult customer get loud and rude with an employee I was impressed by the way this young lady handled the customer! Not only that but her coworkers had her back as well. I know service working can be hard and I am sending best wishes to the team working today.“
