46 Best Ice Cream Shops in Raleigh

“This has to be my favorite spot for ice cream in Raleigh! I love seeing what the new flavors are every month because they're so creative. I really enjoyed learning about the story behind Two Roosters and that they source a lot of their ingredients locally like using bakery items from Sola. They also always include dairy free and/or gluten free options. It's in a great location downtown to spend an evening outside and an awesome neighborhood to walk off all the delicious ice cream you just ate!“

“Okay so you know I love Jeni's! I think they have really nice employees, really clean stores, and great flavors. This store had free water and I loved that. I especially love that they have dairy free flavors and rotating seasonal flavors. However, this location only gets 4 stars because they had fewer flavors available and no inside seating. The Durham location has wayyyy more flavors!“

“Everything is good, except service. It really has to be improved. To scale up the business, you will have to think about speeding the checkout process. Happy to partner up with you and share my thoughts. Thanks and we love coming to this place irrespective of the lengthy lines.“

“We found our new favorite ice cream store!!!!! Everyone should visit, they also have yummy smoothies! The atmosphere is wonderful and service is phenomenal!Kid-friendliness: They have a cute little nook area at the back of the store where you can take pictures!“

“There was a line out the door when we went but it moved reasonably fast. The gelato and the macarons were delicious. We were able to find somewhere to sit even though it was filled to the brim. I would expect to have to take your gelato and go for a downtown stroll on busier days.“

“It's a cookie, a VERY good cookie but just a cookie, this particular Crumbl hired a great staff and the store is Very adequate for the product (reasons for the stars for each catergory) lastly the cookie would be just as profitable if no more so if it were to cost $3.50“

“This ice cream is unique and delicious. The employees are so friendly and even upgraded us to a full pint when we only ordered a half. Highly recommend! (The Birthday Cake flavor was the bomb)“

“Delicious ice cream, great service, and always something new to try (adding Chillers to my rotation after trying one this weekend!!).“

“Delicious popsicles and great, friendly service“

“Very tasty Mother's Day treat! Thanks, Andia's!Vegetarian options: Andia's has ice cream made with coconut milk.Dietary restrictions: Andia has an alternative to dairy.Parking: Some street parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of flavors and sizes for kids!Wheelchair accessibility: Street and store are ground level, so easy access.“

“We tried the pistachio gelato ft. muddy bites and the french toast cookie last week. They were fresh. This location was clean. They showed us our cookies before giving them to us. In my opinion, the pistachio gelato cookie was better the second day after being in the fridge. “

“The ice cream at this location is so delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. It is worth the price. I highly recommend this ice cream.Parking: There is a nice parking lot and also attachments parking lots. Easy parkingWheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible.“

“Our last stop before leaving the town! They have really fascinating and elaborate chocolate making machines and educate us every step of the way. You can smell very fragrant and nice chocolate smell the moment you walked through the shop. You can ask for samples too! The lady there was very nice and willing to share more about the chocolates that you're getting. We also got sipping chocolate, which is really interesting because I never had sipping chocolate before! It was thick, a little tangy, but a really nice flavor.“

“Great quality ice cream! Not too sweet, just the right amount of consistency. Yes it could be expensive for ice cream but from the taste of the ice cream, I was glad I wasn't putting a whole bunch of artificial ingredients into my body. Will definitely come back again for desert!“

“This is my favorite ice cream place. Chocolate raspberry truffle is my family’s favorite flavor. I’m in my 20s and I still ask for a dino cookie. For awhile this location was out of the cookies but fortunately they eventually got them back.“

“This place captures the atmosphere of Mexico.I loved the decorations outside on the patio, it's how you enjoy your ice cream while your kids play.The employees were very friendly.And the flavor is very similar to what we find in Mexico.Without a doubt a place to go again.“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“I've been coming to this GoodBerry's since the 90's and the service is still phenomenal! Andre made my day when I forgot my wallet and was so patient as I scrambled to find payment. The best custard in town! Thank you for being a good human being and providing excellent customer service!“

“Just what I envisioned for my daughter's birthday party. So unassuming on the outside but the kids were amazed when we sliced into it.“

“Great selections and wonderful flavors.“

“Service was GREAT!! The employee was all alone with a decent line and was pleasant to each customer!“

“I first tried a Crumbl cookie at an event held at school last year. The cookie was lemon (with an actual slice of lemon) on top. It was delicious and I’ve been a regular customer since then. And with locations being closed on Sunday, I load up for the weekend. ? Overall … great experience every visit.“

“So the last time I came to Insomnia Cookies, I wanted red velvet cookies. I got there, and they were out of cookies. That was last year. So this year, I decided to call the phone #, so I can see if they're out of cookies, so I'm not wasting a trip out there. Guess how long I've been waiting for them to answer the phone?“

“I said to myself, “$3.50 a cookie is kind of silly…” I quickly learned I was the silly one. Best cookie I’ve ever had (German chocolate) is that’s even possible. There are cookies and then there are the Cookie People’s cookies hence forth.“

“Took my little one after her first day of soccer. She loves to choose what goes on her yogurt. The staff was very friendly.“

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

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

“I live walking distance from the Goodberry's on Spring Forest but we drive to this one because the service and custard is so much better than the Spring Forest location. The manager here is always helping and making sure that everything is running well. This is the best Goodberry's of any in the area!“

“I drove all the way from GARNER to try their buns and bread. Their cinnamon buns are to DIE FOR and not to forget their cinnamon raisin bread ...OH MY HEAVEN? The staff is AWESOME and makes you feel like family. Maket Bakery is my only my bakery I will go to.THANKS MARKET BAKERY ❣️?“

“Les súper recomiendo La chula, ofrece unos platos Colombianos exquisitos. Toda la comida es deliciosa y el servicio impecable. Definitivamente volveré!“

“Highly recommend! The employee was working by themselves, but was so patient with the flow of customer.I especially appreciated their attention to hand hygiene! Great ice cream!“

“I have been coming here for years, and have never done a review. Maddie was working by his self this morning, took the time to be nice, treat me with respect, and even shared her favorite Concrete recommendation. Service today is so substandard and so many industries, it was very nice to seek such a pleasant person.“

“Andy was super kind and helpful he listened and provided a super welcoming atmosphere and would not let me tip him but he absolutely deseves one for prepping the ice cream and opening a little early when i was on a time crunch and just being super friendly and a delight!Parking: very accessibleKid-friendliness: entertaining and playful with the fountain“

“Open space, cute atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious drinks.“

“Delicious? Yes!!!If you go there you'll definitely need to wait in line if it's during the evening. Waited maybe 15-20 minutes before we could order.I ordered the Monkey N' Around with Oreos mixed in. I enjoyed the ice cream; however, there was not much of a banana flavor to it. It tasted pretty much just like a cookies n cream ice cream. Regardless, it was still pretty good.“

“The RFT Family did an amazing review on just SweetNess Banana Pudding Cake, Parfaits & XL Chocolate Chunk Cookies. We hosted a giveaway which resulted in growth in our IG page as well as sales. We truly appreciate Roger, Bri & the kiddies. Thank you again!“

“I have ordered from them twice. Both times the cupcakes have arrived quickly, have been very well packaged and very fresh. I’ve tried the red velvet, lemon, stuffed peanut butter, and stuffed French toast. All have been delightfully full flavored. Keep baking up these creations.“

“When you have a lot of people meeting up, you often need different types of dietary options. This food hall is a showstopper when it comes to the quality of food, the quantity, and the price. There is seating both inside and outside. Everything is clean. There were two reasons why this didn’t get a five. First, is parking is hard and second, there are people selling drugs, right outside the front door. I had the suadero tacos which were excellent! And we shared nachos that were big enough for six people as a meal. Everything was fresh and excellent.“

“Love this place! I don't drink coffee, but their hot cocoa is lovely and the whipped cream tastes real and they don't skimp on it. Service is super fast and friendly. They have a microwave so you can heat up your food as much as you want. Lots of refrigerated options, the sandwiches and wraps are a little pricey but very tasty. And the cinnamon rolls, oh my GOD. Heaven, seriously just go treat yourself to a giant gooey cinnamon roll. I have tried so many different cinnamon rolls in my life and these are some of the best ever. This place is the best part of Centennial.“

The worker was very helpful answering all my nutritional questions - and I had a lot - and was very patient with me. Great dairy and non-dairy options. Parking was plenty and the establishment was clean on the inside and outside. Will definitely come back to this location.Vegetarian options: Non dairy optionsDietary restrictions: They have nutrition information handy and have no issue sharing with customer.
