32 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!!“

“Overall the experience was good , the workers were really nice and complimented my jewelry <3 , they were quick to bring me what i ordered. The boba in my opinion gets too much backlash , i myself wouldnt come here every week for boba but it isnt a bad place for boba , the tapioca was a bit too sweet for my liking and gave me a weird taste but i believe its because i hadnt mixed it up right and after my boba tasted fine , it wasnt too sweet and you could always adjust it , I do believe the dubai chocolate cups are a bit overrated here if you arent exactly fanatic about strawberries , if i could i probably would recommend getting the chocolate bar instead since the strawberry taste overpowered most of anything , and it just tasted like basic chocolate and strawberries , it does come in a decent size and i got full after a few bites , not my thing but i believe others would like it.“

“Howling Cow is the perfect mix of education and enjoyment. The ice cream is rich, creamy, and made with milk from cows right on the farm. The Dairy Education Center gives visitors a unique look into how dairy products are made, and the Randleigh Dairy Museum offers interactive exhibits for all ages. The porch with rocking chairs and views of the pastures make it a relaxing stop. It can get busy on weekends, but it’s absolutely worth the visit.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“I absolutely love Crumbl! Every visit feels like a sweet little treat for myself and my family. The cookies are always fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. I enjoy how the menu changes weekly – it’s exciting to see what new flavors are available, and there’s always something for everyone to enjoy.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the store itself is clean and inviting. I really appreciate how carefully they package the cookies too – they always look picture-perfect.“

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

“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.“

“La mejor variedad de paletas y Helados 🥳“

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

“Great and quick customer service“

“Butter pecan ice cream 🍦🍦🍦“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We moved away from Raleigh awhile ago, but whenever we visit, goodberrys is always one of our stops! Went today before hitting the road. It was super busy but the staff was amazing! Great attitudes even with long lines and people waiting 😊“

“Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

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

“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.“

“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. 🙌🍨🔥“

“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.

“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!“
