It was everything we wanted out of a late-night ice cream run! We got their mango ice & lemon lime sorbet. The lemon lime sorbet was especially delicious. Wish that they had had a vegan ice cream (instead of just vegan ices, popsicles, or sorbets), but what they had was good, so I can't complain too much! Service was fast, the inside was cute, and there's a bench outside to sit on if it's a nice day. read more

A really cute small hole in the wall that I wouldn't have known about unless someone had told me. Decided to stop here on a Sunday and it may be a little bit difficult to find parking on some days, but we parked across the street. The store itself is pretty small, but they have a lot of different things to choose from and the variety is really awesome. From putting to ice cream to paletas and mangonadas. I got the banana pudding ice cream which was great. My boyfriend was so excited to see they had Arroz con leche Overall, it's a little bit out of the way for us, but I could definitely see us coming back! read more

He let us sample anything flavor ice cream wanted, including tequila ice cream - that is a MUST try. I'm bummed I don't live in Durham to be eating this ice cream more often, but next time we are in town we'll be there!

Walking in the door I was hopping that this is what heaven smelled like. I got the Brownie Sundae for $5.99 which consisted of a fresh, soft, warm brownie, topped with two scoops of ice cream, fudge and caramel drizzle, and LOTS of whipped cream. I chose cookies and cream and banana pudding for my two scoops and OMG...the banana pudding was hands down my favorite. Everything I love about banana pudding in a scoop of ice cream! The lady assisting us (owner maybe?) was very friendly, even to the not so pleasant person behind us. I would have never known about this little hidden gem if not for Yelp.

A+ for friendly service from a very genuine cashier. Welcoming and warm, this is the type of interaction you want to have when you treat yourself to deserts. C- minus for Mangonada. First time having this Mexican desert, and was willing to pay the higher rate of $6.99 (the small size) for something new as I hadn't had hot sauce, mango sherbet and mango pieces before or spicy sweet tamarind straw. Looks cool but wayyy too much hot sauce. Had mouthfuls of hot sauce instead of sherbet, and had tough time finishing this one. I also normally like spicy sour sweet flavors like the tamarind (similar to li hing mui), but found this one a bit too salty. When I was finishing my Mangonada some of the flavors blended together and it worked, so there's something there. B- minus for menu. Appreciate the pictures, they help a lot. But could show prices more clearly. I didn't notice it but there might be a paper menu outside to help, as I saw it in someone else's photo. Overall recommend for friendly vibes, and seems like a popular spot. Prices for ice cream and pops seem very reasonable. I do regret spending more for a Mangonada. I can't say I recommend this one, however I support Pincho Loco for offering unique flavors. I wish the ice cream menu did have more beyond the classics, or I would have tried those instead! read more

Pincho Loco is an eclectic ice cream joint that has that hole-in-the-wall feel with fantastic flavor options that are a great mix between traditional and daring. Their menu is a bit much to take in and is pieced together over multiple boards so it's kind of a fun game to figure out what you want. I ended up getting their Mangonada since I was craving mangos and spice and this hit the spot. It had a good amount of fresh chopped mangos and sorbet with a tamarind chili straw. Very photogenic too! Aside from ice cream, they also have desserts ready to-go such as rice pudding, tres leches, flan, cake, and more! It seems to be one of those places that will have random goodies to choose from based on what they feel like making so check it out! read more

During the height of the pandemic, they offered free bagged lunch to anyone who needed one. They also were (are?) part of the pilot project for Durham's guaranteed income.

I wish they had a bigger selection of pastries and desserts. Probably won't be back. :/

This place is a complete disappointment…read more They call themselves a French bakery, but that's nothing more than a marketing trick. The lady greeted me " Bonjour", I replied "Comment allez-vous?" no answer!!! I should say " Cómo estás?" In reality, it's a Latino bakery pretending to be something it's not. The breads are awful and overpriced, to be honest, I think the croissants come right from the Sam's club, the sourdough is nothing but a cheap grocery quanlity French bread. The pastries are even worse, with none of the craft, technique, or taste you expect from anything French. It's misleading and deceptive to lure customers in under the "French bakery" label when there is nothing French about it. I left feeling cheated. If you are looking for true French baking, avoid this place. I am sure the original owners, the retired French couple is heart broken!

Wonderful ambiance. Unique use of old sewing machine tables. Great food!!
