34 Best Ice Cream Shops in Raleigh

“After having really spicy food in the area, we were craving something sweet and decided to stop by this place for dessert. It turned out to be a great choice! This is a nice ice cream shop with a good selection, but honestly, their cakes were the highlight for me. They were fresh, rich, and absolutely delicious. The desserts were perfect after a spicy meal and definitely satisfied our sweet cravings. Overall, a great spot to visit if you’re looking for dessert after dinner. I would definitely come back again to try more flavors and cakes!“

“Place was hopping the line was out the door and down the sidewalk. The staff was efficient and friendly. The flavor choices of ice cream were fun. It’s a great place to hang out. They is inside space to sit and enjoy your ice cream choice. There is a wonderful lawn and a great wrap around porch with rocking chairs to sit and enjoy as you over look the fields. We enjoyed our ice cream. The pink milkshake is the student of the month creation called the Giddy up Shake, the bowl is the flavor of the month Carmel Coffee Gato and the other milkshake is a cookie dough and cookies and cream milkshake.“

“My wife and I just came from Italy and we tried this in Sorrento and Rome. Let me tell you that is pretty much the same. Absolutely delicious. We can’t believe this delicious gelato is just 25 minutes away from home.

First picture in Raleigh , second one in Sorrento ( Amalfi coast ).“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“I had an excellent experience at this ice cream shop. The place was spotless, the flavors were fresh, and the service stood out. Kaitlyn took care of my order, and she was outstanding—friendly, quick, and genuinely helpful. She gave great flavor recommendations and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it.“

“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.“

“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!“

“we had the pleasure of trying out a few flavors. But the salted chocolate chip and coffee and bourbon won out! Thanks Matthew for the recommendation, and great job handling yourself with those kids making a mess!“

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

“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.“

“La mejor variedad de paletas y Helados 🥳“

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

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“Butter pecan ice cream 🍦🍦🍦“

“Recently while passing by a store, we decided to venture in and have a treat. The snickerdoodle cookies were absolutely to die for! The gentleman that served us was great. Greeted us as soon as we entered the store and was very helpful throughout the whole purchasing process. This is a great place to go for a spontaneous treat.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“Great and quick customer service“

“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 !!!“

“David was so kind, respectful, and handsome. I was homeless 10 days ago and he not only helped me enjoy a nice frozen treat for free, he gave me his tips to help me get an apartment. Don’t get me started on Alberto, best service ever. He helped my mother pay her medical bills. These two should be employees of the year. #theydeservearaise. Make them the owners of the store. Haagen Dazs is truly in their debt.“

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

“BEST COOKIE IV EVER HAD. I just recently came to this location and not just purchased the most outstanding cookie, but was giving world class customer service. Dulce behind the counter was extremely helpful and made my experience top tier. She is an asset to the Crumbl team. The entire team there was welcoming and the cookie was great, couldn’t have asked for more“

“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!“

“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 food and service. best burgers and chicken sandwiches in town!“

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

“The absolute best custard ice cream there is!! I highly recommend their sugar free vanilla. It is so extremely tasty that you would never expect it to be sugar free. Also, very friendly customer service. I have to give a shout out to Jenna today at the Garner location. Apparently it was only her second day and she was killing it!! The weather was perfect for an ice cream treat this afternoon and it was quite busy. Jenna was as friendly as could be and she was extremely fast with having to both take orders, take payment and fulfill the orders. Jenna is a rock star and did an excellent job representing Goodberry’s in the very best way.“

“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!“

“We have bought sourdough bread all over the state of NC and VA, and this company’s bread is by far the best we have had anywhere. We live in VA, and had it for the first time about a month ago on a trip to Raleigh, and have been raving about since to everyone who will listen. We’ll be making a weekend jaunt back down there soon to get more… oh, and maybe to see my son, too 😂“
