    Love this place and are frequent visitors but just realized tonight that they offer gluten free cones. Now I'm even more of a fan!

    Peanut butter dip & Dubai Chocolate Stuffed Cookie
    Heather M.

    I've visited this location a few times before and always have a good experience. This time, I ordered a peanut butter dip in a bowl with Reese's Pieces. My daughter ordered on of their stuffed cookies, the Dubai Chocolate Croissant. She raved about it. The owner was there during our last visit. He is always so friendly and helpful. I love the vibe in the shop with old school arcade games and nostalgic movie posters.

    Pistachio Dipped Cone (Regular)

    Super cute spot with unique soft serve dip options and super friendly service. Vanilla is the only base flavor, but the dips, toppings and core options are plentiful. I had the pistachio dipped cone and it was good. The ice cream is extra creamy, like if cool whip made ice cream, this would be it. The dip stayed soft, which is the way I like it. The only thing I would change is the price - $7 for dipped soft serve is a lot and it gets more expensive if you add toppings.

    Cute shop that has a fun little pony side room and a claw machine stuffed with plushie animals. For a soft serve shop, there was actually a decent amount of space. A couple of two person tables. They share their space with a yoga studio so the entrance is the same. A lovely treat post your workout. I ordered a kid's cup soft serve with pistachio core and cookie butter shell, no toppings. It was good very simple but a nice post dinner treat. My friend ordered hers and had asked for a kinder bueno shell but got the cookie butter by accident. It is a little on the pricier side for being ~$7 for something with no toppings (if you don't include the dipped shell). It did have a lot of different cores, toppings, and the different shell flavors.

    I have visited the Durham location but this was my first time at this location. The business is located next to a yoga business. I was greeted when I walked in by the male owner. He asked if I had been there before and I told him that I had been to the other location. The shop was decorated very nicely with several tables and chairs inside. After deciding what I wanted I placed my order. I got a cookie butter dipped cone with a caramel core. I also got a brookie cookie for later. My cookie was nicely wrapped and put inside of a cute bag. The cookie was thick and very moist with a hint of salt. It was still soft the next day. I enjoyed the cookie more than my cone. I loved the cookie butter dip but my ice cream started melting really, really quick.

    I originally found Simon Says from a Yelp Elite event, otherwise, I would have never known about this cool little ice cream shop! Simon Says is in the city center of Raleigh, so you may get lucky with street parking or just suck up the high parking fees in the parking garages. If you're already in the area, Simon Says Dip This is a great addition to your itinerary in the city, especially on a hot day. Their ice cream is really good and the dips are unique and unlike anything we have in Wake Forest. However, it's the half pound cookies that have me wanting to come back! They taste homemade and were perfectly baked. Crumbl, move out of the way! Simon Says Dip This has MUCH better cookies, omg. I had the Dubai Chocolate cookie and the Chocolate Lave cookie. I regret not buying one of each, honestly. Best cookies I've had in a LONG time.

    The ice cream was awesome, very rich. The employee made sure to repeat my order back to me prior to making it. Great place for soft serve and it hit the spot!

    New favorite ice cream place. Combine toppings with vanilla ocre cream or non dairy ice cream. Our kids love to have many choices for toppings. I opted for vanilla ice cream with toffee bits and chocolate syrup. It was so good. The facility was clean as well as the restroom. The staff was very kind to us. It was not busy on a Saturday afternoon which was surprising to us. We had a great time there and will be back.

    Soft serve vanilla with cherry dip! Yum! I kept it simple but they have soooo many options to choose from.

    Light, creamy vanilla ice cream with tons of topping choices! Plus they have dairy-free options, half-pound stuffed cookies, and candy. When I visited their Durham location I combined too many sweet options and it was overwhelming. This time I opted for a sweet and savory cone with ube dip, coconut flakes, and pistachio core. It was excellent, especially the pistachio core. The cookies were also tasty. Definitely rich and heavy. We particularly liked the Dubai cookie. The employees at this location were efficient and helpful. They seemed genuinely passionate and welcoming. I appreciate the bowl they offered so that I could enjoy my cone easier. Overall, a fun place for ice cream that gives you the freedom to create different flavor combos.

    So good...came here 2 nites in a row! Creamy, smooth and rich ice cream. Crazy-good dips and toppings. Tonight was Key Lime dip with strawberry toppings. My son had a chocolate and brownie combination which was pitch perfect. Nathan (proprietor) happily shared his ice cream expertise with us too. Super friendly and warm service team. Neat little shop inside with a courtyard outside with good vibes and a neat buzz being in the downtown Raleigh area.

    Went in for a late night treat. They have a ton of options for the base, core, dips and toppings. I went with the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake and it was incredible. The ice cream is creamy, the core was stuffed with dulce de leche, dipped in cheesecake and topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I went with the cone but unless you eat your ice cream quickly I'd suggest going with the cup, it melts fast! They also have stuffed cookies and freeze dried candies. The service was quick and there is definitely a theme, I think it's movie related lol not sure but super casual. Highly recommended

    Almost a 5/5 we came late and they didn't have any half pound cookies left once I try one I will give the full rating but the dipped cup was AMAZING definitely made up for an earlier place we went for dinner that didn't turn out to be so good for me. Will definitely be coming back here to try more! Also very good nondairy options!

Tonight I went with Carolina Crunch which has their Honey Salted Caramel ice cream mixed with Heath bars and Butterfinger. They use a lot of local ingredients here and this ice cream was made with honey from Mike's Bees in Raleigh. My wife had the banana pudding ice cream and it was excellent as well. You really can't go wrong with any of the flavors here. Very creamy with a silky texture. This is better than the vast majority of places you'll go to for ice cream. Service was very friendly and patient as my family practically sampled every flavor on the menu. Lots of outdoor seating here which was perfect on a comfortable, moderately cool summer night.

While the shop itself is small -- offering no indoor seating, though there are a couple small tables outside (and you can always just walk around in Cameron village -- the ice cream is expansive in both options and the flavor it packs. With a mix of classics and more unique flavor options, I have never once tried an option I did not truly enjoy, if anything they have often been amongst the best of that flavor I have even ever had. The ice cream is just so good, the texture, creaminess, and flavor profiles all incredibly well balanced. The shop itself is clean, well decorated, and inviting with a semblance to what you'd expect and desire from a classic ice cream shop. They even pay attention to the details, like using these fun metal spoons for tasting (highly suggested) instead of the typical flimsy plastic or wooden ones common in other shops, which are available for purchase. The staff was friendly, service was efficient. There is also some cool merch which is fun if you're into that stuff. Personally, I am not the biggest fan of their naming scheme for the options, instead of just having a single, double, or more straightforward menu options, they have names like "standard" which is actually 2 "half scoops" (quotes cause they're just small scoops), and then a single which is a single full scoop, or a trio which is 3 half scoops not full scoops, just overall a tad confusing and not straightforward in how much ice cream you are actually getting, though it does allow one to get multiple flavors more easily I guess? The prices are definitely leaning on the higher side, especially for pints, but I feel that is to be expected of "gourmet" ice cream shops, especially nowadays. Overall, I highly recommend for any and all ice cream lvoers, and will absolutely be returning myself.
