best value, experience, and arguably product of all the ice cream shops in Durham.
ice cream preferences are clearly a personal thing, but I would put Pincho Loco on par with any super-premium manufacturer in terms of quality.
I really like the flavors that they tend to make, as well as the pretty broad variety of other desert offerings available (banana pudding, churros, Popsicles, shakes, etc)
I also like supporting local small businesses, and this one is a no-brainer. they make their own ice cream and deserts (except for the Popsicles, which are from locopops, another local small business), they are extremely friendly and conscientious, and I always leave feeling like I got a great bang-for-the buck.
sure, Jenny's Ice-cream is delicious and might have more avant-garde flavors, but this is a local family business.
Parlor is another great spot, but is notably more expensive.
Pincho Loco is, in my opinion, always worth a stop if you are in the mood for a treat.
