Affable owner Nat creating utter yumminess! Ice cream was rich, creamy, and flavorful. Brown butter bourbon paired well with the toasted coconut. The warm fresh baked fish cone tempered the ice cream wonderfully. As beautiful to eat as it was to photograph. Yum is the only word! read more

Delicious!! We brought two kiddos for a Saturday ice-cream treat and they absolutely loved it. We all tried a few samples and everything was great. The husband and I shared a koiyaki with brown butter bourbon truffle ice cream. First of all, it was adorable and second, it was so yummy and creamy. This flavor is amazing! The koiyaki was kind of like a waffle with a nice flavor (maybe almond or vanilla?). One kiddo got strawberry and mint chocolate chip. Everyone was pleased and we'll visit again! read more

The koiyaki is super adorable! It's a waffle, not a cone. The earl grey tea and strawberry fields were delicious! Tried the chocolate peanut butter and it was more chocolate than peanut butter. For the kids, the fish cone was the winner and the ice cream came in second. read more

Located in the Brightleaf district and the entrance was a little difficult to find due to the construction, but that should be clearing up soon. The ice cream was typical, but it was nice to have a variety of toppings. I think the most common reason to grab ice cream here is for the presentation and koi fish cone. Unfortunately, it is a bit too pricey to make Sugar koi my go to ice cream shop. read more

NEW FAVORITE ICE CREAM PLACE. We got toasted coconut and Bourbon truffle and holy cow. So good. Also you need the peanut butter cup cookie. It has an actual reeses baked in it. I'm so picky with cookies. This is the best cookie. Hands down. The person there told us to take it home and microwave it for 13 seconds and it's to die for. And you know what. Holy crap. Melt in your mouth goodness. This is an experience. The person there is SO NICE and very helpful. You ask him what's better there and he'll tell you what he thinks is best! The fish cone is soft and delicious it kind of reminded me of cake! Will definitely be back!! read more

Are you tired of ODing on sugar and just want some good ol' ice cream? Look no further! Despite this shop's name (and therefore my hesitation to try this place out for a long time), the flavors are so very delicate and addictive. I normally can only handle the smallest ice cream sizes in general and then feel bloated on my way out - but not true here at all. Finished my 2 scoops and wanted more. We ordered the yuzu (our favorite), green tea, ube, earl tea and (insert traditional flavor, maybe it was butter pecan) and they were all delicious! The fish waffle was adorable and tasted really good, delicate and fluffy, as well. read more

I loved Sugar Koi when I found it in Durham but now I'm thrilled that they moved to Cary. I'm so happy to have such a good ice cream shop now closer to home. They are conveniently located at the intersection of Maynard and Kildaire Farm Road in the shopping center where Big Lots is located. All of the ice cream flavors are delicious and there are some wonderful unique flavors that you can't find anywhere else. My favorite is ube, a very delicious flavor that is a beautiful purple color. You have to try the delicious koi shaped waffle. The waffle is soft and slightly crispy and oh so delicious with the ice cream. Everyone here is friendly and will help you find your favorite flavor. There is space to have a seat indoors to enjoy your treat. read more

If you had asked me at 10am this morning, I would have told you I was a Parlour loyalist, no question. But but but but... I love this place. I snuck out of work to meet my friend for a "who needs lunch?" jaunt here after seeing all the cute fish cone pics, and it totally lived up to the hype. As others mention, the owners are absolutely delightful and generous with their time. They *also* suggested, and I completely agree, that probably just one visit isn't enough and I should probably try again just to confirm my opinion - in fact, when I left, the woman working called out, "See you tomorrow!" Honestly? Yeah, probably. #TIL that they make several flavors on their own (Toasted Coconut, Matcha, and Thai Tea) and that the rest are Hershey's. When I made a face, the owner explained to me how most people have only had food-service grade Hershey's, which is yuck, but that he stocks the (significantly pricier and higher quality) Premium Gold line. I went with a small, which is two scoops - one Bourbon Brown Butter and one Cappuccino Crunch - with a fish jammed on top because OBVIOUSLY. It was delicious but I do not recommend you read the Hershey's ingredients list. When consulted, my Parlour ride-or-die did correctly suggest that a dollop of the Parlour's coffee-mascarpone whipped cream would have elevated the cappuccino crunch into something otherworldly, and he's not wrong, but this was still damn fine ice cream. read more

I didn't realize that the shop had rebranded itself. Loving the new concept and recall stopping here before for ice cream. It was good ice cream. I thought I would try something different and got the teriyaki ice cream to see what the hype was all about. In my opinion, it was quite pricey -- $7.xx for the experience. I went with the green tea and vanilla swirl + sprinkles on top. The ice cream started melting immediately. It was a bit watery for soft serve ice cream. It was definitely instagram worthy and cute but it was a bit off in my opinion. The ice cream was ok. I couldn't really enjoy it because I had to eat fast as it was melting all over my hands. The bread part was good. It was probably the best part of the experience. It's unique and worth giving it a shot if you have never had it before. read more

First time here, Although it's been on my bucket list since they opened, which was awhile ago. I originally wanted to get the fish waffle but they said there's no red bean in it. I ended up not getting that one just because I thought it was a little pricy without the red beans in it, but my friend got it. I ended up just getting the regular scoop of Thai tea, which was really good. I can't recall any places around the triangle sells Thai tea Ice cream. It's a small place but lots of outdoor seating spots. Service was good. They stopped serving the soft serve matcha green tea which was a disappointment read more

Saw an ad about this place a little while ago and decided to drop in. Great ice cream, great service, and a chill place in general. Lots of interesting snacks, plenty of ramune sodas by the register, and an appropriate amount of Totoros. The ice cream comes in a variety of unique flavors, and it's creamy and dreamy enough. And if you're an afogatto enjoyer, they make a pretty mean one with whatever flavor you choose. The only thing they need is a grass carpet in the wall, or maybe a string or two of ambience inducing firefly lights to cement status as a young nerd's utopia... But it's already well on its way as it is. read more

Now we're ordering online, show up at designated time and it's not ready, they're about half busy. 30 minutes later still nothing, just told the kitchen is backed up but by now 1/2 the tables have left the restaurant...looks like they never even started our food. We use to come here at least twice a month but this isnt the first time we've been lied to. It's just getting ridiculous, management is ruining this place. Food finally came 39 minutes after it was supposed to and restaurant started emptying out, which means even though we order it over 1hr 15 min they just started it over an hour after it was ordered or 30 min after it was supposed to be ready. Since our order is already cooked and just needs prepping/put together it doesn't take

Such a fun spot in downtown Apex. They have a great variety of ice cream flavors. I personally…read moreloved butter pecan, sweet honey sea salt, and the groovy gooey brownie was a total treat. The service is great and they happily let you try flavors before choosing, which makes the experience even better. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, takeout pints, and even dog ice cream. It is not free, but totally worth it because why should only humans enjoy ice cream :) Perfect place to cool off and hang out. Definitely worth a visit!

What's not to love? Great selection of flavors and homemade waffle cones! Every flavor our group…read moregot was delicious and love the idea of a couple flavors rotating in and out to mix it up a bit. The peanut butter cup ice cream I got was fantastic and the flavor of the month called salted caramel Oreo was a huge hit. Make your way there if you have time and enjoy!

This shop is gorgeous, and I was hoping for the best. We skipped our favorite ice cream spot to…read moregive it a try. The service is fast and friendly, however the shakes (the hubs and I tried the cookies and cream and the birthday cake shakes) were just ok. Not bad, not great, just right there in the middle where at about halfway through, you toil over whether you should finish it or save your calories. I tapped out early, and I'm a sucker for a cake batter almost anything if that tells you anything. The photo station was a fun touch. The Cary locals appear to be smitten with this place as people piled in after us. For me, MilkShake Factory delivered more aesthetics and stellar location than flavor. You be the judge. Cheers!
