Absolutely love this place! From the moment you walk in you’re greeted with friendly, family-run vibes and a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Their rolled ice cream, made-to-order taiyaki, boba drinks, and soft serve are all top notch — rich in flavor, beautifully made, and never too sweet. Watching them prepare the treats is part of the experience, and every visit feels special. They also do an amazing job with coffee drinks and have options like oat milk available. This is hands-down one of Durham’s best dessert shops — worth a visit for families, date night, or anytime you’re craving something sweet! -
We love Salt n' Cocoa so much! Been going for several years since we moved to the area, and the desserts and staff have been amazing! It's been our go-to spot with friends and family for a casual weekend night. The rolled ice cream is top quality and so many delicious varieties, and I always get a taiyaki to go with it (even if they are a bit pricey). We remember when it started as just the ice cream and taiyaki, and since has expanded with nice drinks and boba too. Highly recommend checking it out and supporting a great local Durham business!

Visited Salt & Cocoa in Durham yesterday and tried the Desi Kadak chai and Dubai chocolate ice cream. The kadak chai is hands down the best in the RTP area!
The ice cream was good too, though the pistachio syrup was okay. I think they used to have a green paste one before. The service was excellent. They even offered me an alternative, but I passed since everything was good. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend this spot. I’ll definitely be back to try the Gulab Jamun ice cream, Kashmiri pink tea and matcha. -

Staff of extremely kind and friendly. Truly recommend it if you want to have a delicious dessert. Also prices are extremely good for quality and quantity of each thing. Truly love it!!!

A cute place to have ice cream, boba, or even coffee.. with both indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has quite a few fun options, including the famous Japanese fish-shaped waffles called taiyaki, with both sweet & savory fillings.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Kadak Chai (Indian special tea) & Kashmiri Pink Chai Latte on the menu. Definitely something I’d like to try next time!
We ordered the Gulab Jamun Rolled Ice Cream & Falooda. The rolled Gulab Jamun ice cream was good, but the Falooda was AMAZING! Perfectly layered and the presentation was on point for both.
Before you head there, two things I’d like to mention…the prices are high! $10 for rolled ice cream feels a bit much & the service is slow. But if you’re there to spend time with someone, go ahead & chit-chat until your dessert arrives 😛
Because sometimes the dessert takes its sweet time… literally 😁
