Sugar Koi - Durham

The ice cream was certainly delicious, but the experience was marred by the small portion and the unfriendly server. The scoop of ice cream barely filled the waffle cone, so I ended up eating the cone before I could even get to the ice cream. Their response was that I had ordered a kiddie cone, but at 6'4" and 275 pounds, I can assure you that wasn’t what I wanted. The focus here is really on the subpar service.

What a delightful and charming spot! The Ube ice cream was fantastic, and the matcha flavor was equally impressive, along with the fish cake/cone. I love having mochi with my ice cream, and they offer that as well! They even sell some unique flavors by the pint. In addition to ice cream, they have snacks, beverages, and some adorable merchandise. I can't wait to try their coffee on my next visit! I had been searching high and low for great Ube ice cream, and I finally found it here!

Wow! I finally discovered this hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious and charming. Their homemade flavors are light and creamy, reminiscent of gelato. You have to try the ube flavor; it has a nutty vanilla taste that's fantastic. The owner is incredibly kind and informative. For a fun twist, take the warm koi fish pastry, flip it over, and fill it with your ice cream—it’s a total game changer. I will definitely be returning!

I am so glad I finally got to try this place! It was even better than I’d expected! The fish koiyaki can be ordered with one scoop or two. I decided to try one scoop and I’m glad I did because it was a generous portion. I was expecting the fish to be crunchy like a cone but it actually tastes like a waffle! They’re made fresh and are served warm with the ice cream. The guy behind the counter was so polite and kind and explained everything to me while my fish was cooking. It’s a really cute little shop that’s decorated with many vintage ice cream scoops, which we really enjoyed checking out. This place is a great option when you’re looking for a unique sweet treat!

The owner Nat is amazing! He is so sweet! The ice cream is amazing! I brought my mom and son and he gave my son a little hot wheels car! It was such an amazing experience! I can't wait to come back!
