34 Best Ice Cream Shops in Raleigh

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“In the Battery Atlanta and stopped in and we loved it! Awesome flavors and great service! We did a reel for it in our page!!“

“Kept hearing about this place on tiktok and I’m so glad I went. I got the strawberry Blake tea, mango delight, Dubai chocolate bar and the Dubai chocolate strawberry cups for my boyfriend and I. Over all it was amazing and the workers were really nice. The chocolate was amazing, I love it with the strawberries (it hardens quick though so it was a little hard to eat it about half way through). The chocolate bar was amazing and had an amazing crunch and taste was good. Prices are really worth it and a decent size for everything. I really recommend and will return as well. The tea was amazing and not too sweet which I personally really liked. The mango delight was also really good, my boyfriend enjoyed it even though he’s not too big on tapioca. We stepped out of our comfort zone here and are really content and happy with it all.“

I am assuming the "howling" part of the name is because this is an NCSU establishment (Wolfpack).

I have had Howling Cow products at other places throughout Raleigh, and this is the first time at the creamery itself. The grounds are wonderful. There is interior seating, but the star here is the back patio, equipped with rocking chairs and the like, with a large grass area overlooking the cows/farmland. Awesome. There are several creameries throughout NC that have a farmland type view, but the patio does it for me.

I've tried several items from HC. As far as flavors, cherry vanilla and almond butter stand out to me. I had a sundae this go-round, Fireside Brownie Sundae. It had a warm brownie, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and ice cream. They are extremely rich. They offer splits, several cup and cone options, shakes, and pretty much anything ice cream related. Has a bunch of toppings to make whatever concoction you want. I really enjoy the two aforementioned ice cream flavors and like this over everything else sampled. You can also purchase bottled drinks, t-shirts, and other dairy products.

Expect plenty of patrons, a line that usually moved fairly quickly, and ample staff to handle it all. HC does NOT take cash, and I actually love this aspect.

Solid sweet tooth option and an even better atmosphere. We found prices fair and perhaps competitive.“

“Kilwins is an institution that knows how to make the best tasting chocolate, fudge, and ice cream! That said, we don't come here often because, well, we would have to skip all three meals that day, lol! Seriously, the staff is always friendly, and the treats are always tasty and interesting. Keep making people happy!“

“Amorino never disappoints! This time, I enjoyed the Espresso Macchiato while my fiancé indulged in a Classic Cup with Pistachio Mawardi Sublime, Organic Chocolate Sorbet, Coconut from Sri Lanka, and topped with Pistachio Sauce absolutely heavenly!

We’re regulars here, and the quality and flavors always bring us back. The new computers at the front have made the experience so much smoother and faster—great addition! That said, we missed being able to sample flavors as we usually do, which is always a highlight of the visit.

Amorino remains one of our favorite spots, and we can’t wait to return for another treat!“

“Amazing ice cream, cakes and service. I know things are expensive, but $18 for 6 ice cream sandwiches? $12 per pint? It is some of the best ice cream you've ever eaten though.“

“The cookie dough sundaes are the only thing that will get my 97 year old husband Antwon to get out of the house😅. It’s so so amazing and we love sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather while eating our ice cream. We like to go around 4:30pm after we pick up our twin sons Randy and Neville from pre-school for a yummy treat! 10/10 recommend“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“Nice little shop for refreshing dessert ice cream popsicles. Plenty of flavors to choose from and toppings as well for you to combine however you please. The flavors tasted like fresh ingredients and not artificially flavored. I definitely recommend if you are in the area for a quick dessert fix.“

“This place is adorable and so fun for the kids! We cannot wait to go back!“

“the peanut butter oreo flavor was just right. not too overwhelming“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“We reached out to NC Ice Cream about coming for a kids birthday party at my house. Even with it being over an hour and a half drive, she gave us a more than fair price and made my 3 year olds birthday a day to remember. She was very polite and accommodating. Maybe with one of the next birthday parties, I’ll be able to get her to come back. All-in-all, I would recommend to anyone. There was a great selection of ice cream available and everyone had a great time.“

“Great and quick customer service“

“La mejor variedad de paletas y Helados 🥳“

“The first time I went there it was really good delivery it’s really far from me so It’s takes a while but when I see to find where it’s at it doesn’t really update. still has not came yet but it’s a good place to go get cookies

Kid-friendliness: It’s cookies kids like cookies I mean most at least“

“Butter pecan ice cream 🍦🍦🍦“

“I recommend the ice cream but it is a shame for only two people working keeping up with about 40 orders on a weekend. Hire more people and don’t put your staff in stressful situations with no help!“

“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.“

“Stopped by and had a lovely experience with Jean at this location. You might be able to get ice cream or even Dippin Dots at other places but having someone who serves you with a smile and a lovely personality makes a huge difference. Next time you are in this center do yourself a favor and stop by here to grab a treat!“

“First time there and won’t be our last. Enjoyed tasting the flavors of all your ice cream. Loved the mango nada. Will be back soon !!!“

“Delicious popsicles and great, friendly service“

“nia was lovely ! she was great help :)“

“Rob, from the haagen das at the crabtree valley mall in raleigh, north carolina, had the best attitude in a worker I have seen in a while! He was very energetic, funny, polite, professional, and informational. He DESERVES a promotion or a raise - or both! It was my first time at one of these places and my experience was perfect and amazing because of Rob! Thank you brother! Many blessings to you! 100 star rating if I could post it!“

“I just had the Sandstorm dessert from Goodberry’s, crafted by Mack and Dylan, and WOW — absolute perfection in a cup!

From the first bite, you can tell these two know exactly what they’re doing. The custard was insanely smooth and rich, and the mix-ins were layered perfectly — not just dumped on top like some places do. Whatever magical combination Mack and Dylan came up with deserves to be on the permanent menu. Sweet, salty, crunchy, creamy... it hits every craving at once.

You can taste the care they put into it — not just a dessert, but an experience. If you're heading to Goodberry’s, ask for the Sandstorm and hope Mack and Dylan are the ones making it. Total game-changer. 🙌🍨🔥“

“the best ice cream out there. and now they mobile, check there pages out to see where they gonna be“

“I order cookies from here very often through the Crumbl app and have never had problems with delivery. Last night I ordered and sadly DoorDash messed up big time. Person “couldn’t find” my apartment which has never happened and decided to drop off the box at the front office which was closed. I get there and they were stolen. I called the store asking what could we do and Caroline picked up and PERSONALLY delivered a new box of cookies to me herself. I don’t write google reviews often but Caroline was so accommodating that I feel I had to do this. As a person that works in a customer facing industry, Caroline has gone above and beyond! I know it may seem like a box of cookies but they are my finances favorite and I’m surprising her at the airport with this box that Caroline delivered as I type this.“

“Great customer service (the young lady) ice cream delicious as always. Convenient location and is one of the few. Dunkin Donuts that offers Baskin Robins ice cream. This store offers all the products and is usually busy but I visited on weekday early afternoon so not that busy. It also have drive thru and enough parking

“I bought the Key Lime pie for my hubby's birthday and it was fantastic! Rich, creamy, with a perfect key lime flavor. Crust was light and just enough crunch. Definitely will order from Burney's again!“

“The cookie people were so kind to gift my work with some cookies. They were some of the best cookies 🍪 have had. Took one home to my son and he said he has never had a better cookie. These set the bar so high from here on out. Thank you so much for your generosity!“
