The new ice cream place on the block offered some appealing-looking flavors, as well as seating either indoors or outdoors on a small back patio. The fresh mint and the bananas foster that I sampled were good. They did have some vegan options. Still, compared to the absolute best New Orleans frozen dessert places, I didn't get as personable of a welcome, the portion of ice cream for the money was not that great, and the flavor didn't jump quite as much. What can I say? The bar is high. Wish them well, but I'll stick with my favorites for now. read more

Creamy and light, with a bunch of unique freshly made flavors! The staff is super friendly and helpful in deciding flavor choices. Since there are so many good ones we legit tasted almost all of them and took about 10 minutes to decide, and she stuck with us and patiently waiting for us to land on the perfect flavors. Great recommendations! Definitely worth a visit if your in the area!! read more

Delicious ice cream! Wish we'd visited more ice cream shops during our trip. We had the brown butter cookie dough and it was delicious. The woman serving us wasn't friendly, but she gave us a couple of samples before we decided. We would come back here! read more

Really cute ice cream parlor with super fresh flavors. The tiramisu was quite tasty, while it did get sort of cakey at the end of the scoop I still enjoyed my ice cream and will definitely return. read more

BEST ICE CREAM. Hand made, small batch, insane flavors. Mason is an ice cream scientist and his creations can't be topped! We try to find better in other cities - no one compares. Carmel corn in the fall, wedding cake in the spring! Service is always kind and knowledgeable. The jazz music and gold create a cozy ambiance. As a fan of Salt & Straw and high quality ice cream, Parish is #1 on the list. Especially over Creole Creamery. read more

I feel like I'm cheating on Creole Creamery by trying Parish Parlor, but in my defense it is a little closer to home and everyone keeps talking about how damned good it is. After one visit, I have to agree! Needed a pint of vanilla to go with tonight's dessert, so decided it was time to give this new spot a try. Spotlessly clean shop. Friendly staff who offered to let me sample the various unique flavors. You can taste the small-batch quality in every delicious bite. Lemon ricotta honey and espresso brownie were my favorites, so let's just say that the pint of vanilla bean isn't lonely in my freezer. I can see that parking may be an issue, but a nice long walk is exactly what you'll need to burn off a few calories! And if you don't feel like driving and/or walking, they'll deliver pretty much anywhere in the city. read more

Not going to lie, I was hesitant to try this place since Creole Creamery is an obsession of mine (yes I am a weekly regular), but Parish Parlor impressed. Its in an accessible, convenient spot on Magazine st. with a variety of fun flavorful options. My friend had ordered for us and I was half way through the peanut butter mud pie ice cream when she told me it was vegan. For an ice cream enthusiast I had no idea, it was a delicious sweet treat to finish off the night! Inside the restaurant was beautifully decorated with hip decor (hanging plants, exposed brick) and all very clean seating/tables. Great location to walk to and for an after dinner treat, it is on the pricier side ($8 for two single scoops) but worth it to support a local business :) *can sit inside & outside read more

Parish Parlor has a decent amount of unique flavors and toppings, a pretty and comfortable setting, and friendly employees. I got a roasted strawberry single scoop in a cone- the ice cream was really good and the cone was outstanding. My husband got a scoop of coconut ganache and a scoop of peanut butter mud pie in a cup. He was really pleased with his as well. We only wished that they had a few more sizing-type options: kid/small scoops, flights, etc. read more

So many yummy flavors of ice cream. We settled on the toasted coconut and the espresso brownie. Amazing. They were cooking up batches of different flavors while we were there which was cool to watch. read more

Um just had the best ice cream and cone in my life! Pretty sure they make their own cones! Mine was pecan pie (yes I was skeptical but it was fantastic). My daughter had raspberry cheesecake that was phenomenal too! I also tasted the lavender ice cream and that was yummy! read more

This review is coming from an out-of-towner that's been getting ice cream after dinner everyday for the last week from various places. Others were good... I guarantee you this place is better!!! The guy working tonight was patient and offered to let us try flavors whereas most shops are no longer doing so. I really appreciate this because it's part of the experience - it's hard to blindly commit to a scoop when there's so many flavor options! The Creole Creamcheese is the best I've had in the city so far - but go for the lemon ricotta honey, so delicious! The mint chip is made with REAL spearmint, very fresh! They only offer waffle cones which isn't normally my first choice but I have no complaints - they are homemade with love and taste like it too! I'll probably be back tomorrow.... read more

It's the best ice cream in the city. It may be the best ice cream in the country. I don't know how they do it. It's a black box. Something or other is going in, and magic is coming out. Just come. And bring your friends. And then come back again and again so this place stays open. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream, hand made and you can taste the difference. The flavors are unique; even the standards (vanilla, chocolate and n strawberry) have a gourmet spin on them. Our family ate here three times over the course of a six day trip. We loved the three classics, the brown butter cookie dough (super gooey) and the cookies and cream (super rich). The mint chocolate chip is made with spearmint which may not be for everyone but my hubby loved it. We will definitely be back if we are ever in town again! read more

I had a single scoop of the banoffee pie ice cream in a brown sugar cinnamon waffle cone. I was disappointed at first because I couldn't taste any flavor but then the subtle flavor came through then peaking towards the bottom of the cone. This might be polarizing for individuals who prefer a strong flavor at first lick. Also it's more watery/icy than creamy. Free gender neutral bathroom for non-customers in the courtyard. read more

Bananas foster ice cream in a waffle cone is where it's at! Loved the flavor and was very happy with every bite. No seating inside, but there was a small area in the back with seating, as well as out front. Definitely worth a try! read more

Good fable selections, with good taste. I had the mint and the double chocolate. The mint was really fresh with real mint in it, highly recommended. The double chocolate was rich with pieces of chocolate in it, also recommend. The inside looks nice, with a refreshing vibe, unfortunately there is no indoor seating. They did give free samples but the workers didn't seem happy to help or talk about the flavours. read more

Amazing ice cream and great staff!! Toasted coconut with ganache is outstanding!! And the malts are fire!

Cool little ice cream parlor! The gals that server you at the counter are very polite, service was quick. Only wish was more selections. Go grab a treat! Right on Magazine makes it convenient, and even a couple of outdoor seats read more

The ice cream here is absolutely delicious - you won't leave disappointed! The double chocolate is super rich and decadent, but so flavorful and offset perfectly by the roasted strawberry! The ice cream here is the type that "stretches" when scooped up - I cannot explain it properly but it translates into creamy perfection. Great spot! read more

Dropped in during a little visit to Magazine St. This is truly exceptional ice cream. Rivals the best I've had, including Toscanini's in Cambridge MA. Mexican chocolate has a real kick but at a level that's just right. Mix with peppermint bark and it's sublime. Did not have a chance for any extras on this visit but would add next time. If it's this good on a dreary mid-December day, I can't imagine what it's like on a warm summer afternoon. You won't regret it. read more

Delicious ice cream. Do yourself a favor and support this small local business on my favorite street in downtown NOLA.

I love all of their unique flavors. I had the peppermint bark and Mexican hot cocoa as a single scoop but it looked like I really got two scoops! It's so good, I definitely recommend. It will satisfy all of your ice cream/sweet tooth cravings. I might have to come back to try their gingerbread waffle cone. Only thing is that my friend ordered a pour over coffee and she said it wasn't good and it was too watery. Service was nice tho and I love the ambiance. It's usually quiet and not too busy when I go. I also love that it's on magazine so I can walk around or sit by the nearby park with my ice cream. read more

Best Ice cream you'll ever have. If you love sweets this is the place to go to. If any one says other wise they don't like sweets sorry not sorry. Owners are sweet and take pride in their ice cream. Definitely bring your friends and family here if you want great quality ice cream. There is also a small courtyard and indoor seating. read more

The ice cream is so delicious but a little unique in terms of texture, it might throw you for a loop if your not used to it but in a good way! The ambiance is so pretty and feels like your eating in a european hotel lobby. So worth it. read more

Best ice cream HANDS DOWN! No other ice cream place matches the creativity. The smell of fresh waffle cones being made as you walk in. No other place in competes, I promise. read more

Quite simply: the best ice cream I've possibly ever had. Came back twice in one week because it was just that good. Highly recommend the brown butter cookie dough if they have it while you're there - SUPERB. read more

Yummo the best ice cream in New Orleans! I've tried almost every ice cream shop in town and I keep coming back. My favorite is the espresso brownie in a waffle cone. The ice cream is done in small batches - making it consistently so creamy and fresh. Portions are super generous. read more

It was so good we stopped in twice on our New Orleans trip! Definitely try the peanut butter and jelly. It's what we went back a second time for! Other flavors we tried were pecan pie (would recommend) and cookie dough (pretty basic). read more

Awesome ice cream place at a perfect location. There are bakeries on magazine and small cake shops but there hasn't been a true regular ice cream spot. Parish Parlor is definitely unique with their flavors. I am a mint choc chip gal and didn't like the mint choc chip they served. However it's made with REAL MINT! I personally like the old school mint choc chip flavor but that's just my preference. I got the cookies and cream and that was to die for! I recommend the smallest size because they LOAD the ice cream up. The smallest size was even too much! read more

Got a coconut ice cream that was amazing, tasing offered because she saw that I was indecisive between two different flavors. I settled on coconut because it was very summer feeling best part was I was able to order my cone inside with my dog. I did not have to leave her outside to order, they even gave me a bowl of water, since it was 97° outside for her will definitely be back. read more

Very delicious and inventive flavors. Brilliant interior design, and chill patio. Kind and attentive team. Enjoy their delicious ice cream. read more

We got a scoop of the Banoffee ice cream to share and OH MY GOOOOODNESSS! It tastes like bananas foster in a delicious creamy awesomeness. It wasn't too sweet either, but it was rich! It was perfect. Also the lady who helped us was so sweet and allowed us to sample their unique flavors! Thank you for having us ¨ read more

Sooooo cute and dainty! I loved the atmosphere and the ice cream flavors were definitely unique. I loved that they allowed you to sample the flavors because all of them looked and sounded amazing. I ordered wedding cake and ponchatoula strawberry. The wedding cake was almond flavor with chunks of cake inside. So delish! The strawberrries were fire roasted in the ponchatoula strawberry flavor. You were actually able to see the chunks of strawberry. Overall, I was pleased. I paid about 6 bucks for 2 scoops. I would visit again on another pretty Sunday afternoon! read more

My goodness, this was pre-lunch stop. After several tastes I went with the lavender London fog. I would never have predicted it would be so incredible! read more

The bees knees. The sh*t. Tasty AF as they say nowadays. I think that the consistency, flavor, creaminess all come to mind when thinking about what makes a good ice cream. Check, check, and check. While there were some flavors I tried that I thought were tasty but nothing special, the same cannot be said for the bananas foster. Went at 7pm and they had fresh pumpkin spice waffle cones, which warmed my hands and soul on a cold November day. Went back again, and this time the cones weren't warm. And so the ice cream was not good, but sufficiently enjoyable nonetheless. read more

Cute ice cream parlor with a great range of flavors. I had the Chai, which was really light and yummy. A little pricey at $4 for a single scoop, and I would really love the option to have two flavors in one scoop (like Creole Creamery allows). It probably won't be my go-to spot for the aforementioned reasons, but is a good option for whenever I'm in the area and want to treat myself! read more

What can we say except this place is completely legit. Think of your favorite ice cream or gelato retailer, then double the quality. Flavors are more intense, fun-filled, creamier and authentic-tasting compared with the competition. We've only been twice, but can't wait to get back. Yes, you can taste all the flavors, but try to commit early. And definitely consider the made-in-house waffle cones and stacking two flavors if you have the appetite. Our faves: Honey Lemon Ricotta, Peanut Butter Mud Pie (it's vegan!), and the Pecan Pie (expect chunks ... lots and lotsa chunks ... almost too much, if that's even possible?). read more

I saw a post about the newest ice cream place in New Orleans on Instagram and because they are one of the few places in the city that is one on Mondays and stays open late (9PM) I took my friends for an afternoon sweet treat! I'm so glad I did! This place on the end of Magazine Street as you get close to the French Quarter was so cute and quaint. I loved the style and what was more the flavors they offer like lemon ricotta honey, cinnamon roll, and salted caramel to name a few. What's more is right now they have seasonal pumpkin spice waffle cones that you absolutely have to try! The staff was so nice and they have both magazine street outdoor seating and a few chairs in a courtyard in the back. The prices were great too - $17 for 3 ice creams. You definitely have to give this place a try!! read more
