My family and I love Fresh Local Ice Cream. At times, can get rather busy but it's definitely worth the wait. They offer samples which is great before committing to a flavor. Their staff is always super friendly and personable. They have some constant flavors but also have a small rotating menu as well. I like that they do source ingredients locally. My kids love their milkshakes and you can take any ice cream flavor and make it a milk shake. It's also wonderful that they allow you to get 2 different flavors in your cup or cone. If you're looking for great ice cream, this is the place.

This is our favorite family outing for ice cream, located right in the heart of downtown Apex. Whenever we're in the mood for scooped ice cream, we always head here.There isn't much seating on busy nights, but who cares? It's a chill and enjoyable place with lots of options.

Our group was in the mood for late night ice cream. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law live just a few minutes away so we decided to head over to Fresh Local Ice Cream.I decided on a small cup with brookie and birthday cake. Hubby ordered a regular cup with birthday cake and Carolina crunch. All 4 of us loved the ice cream! It was smooth and perfectly sweet. We appreciated their unique and tasty flavors. The birthday cake was the best! Sprinkles and cake crunchies were tough to beat. The brookie was delicious as well, rich chocolate ice cream with brownie and cookie dough pieces. The Carolina crunch was yummy, I will probably get that flavor next time.The staff members were friendly and welcoming. They offered us samples and didn't get cheap with us. My brother-in-law loves samples so he was very happy. He even made another trip later in the week to pick up pints for July 4th weekend. Fresh Local Ice Cream is a must try while in Apex!

Strolling into Fresh seemed like a natural conclusion to a leisurely downtown spring evening. Although the line is pretty lengthy, it moves quickly and you're accompanied by fun, upbeat music while you wait. They do offer sampling prior to purchase if you're on the fence. We each got a little something different and everything was great. The waffle cone was soft and warm, perfectly complimenting the cold delicacy embedded inside. The cashier was nice and - bonus - was a UNC fan. Overall a great parlor and, quite literally, the cherry on top of a chill night.

Happy Easter 2023Came here after lunch and services. The whole street was empty but luckily this place was open! We had gone to the one in Cary so we were familiar. The place was not only open but busy! Everyone was getting ice cream. It was great ambiance with kids and adults enjoying the weather and place. I had the mixed berry sorbet and it was delicious. In a cup with sprinkles. They had waffle cones with assorted flavors. We were all happy.

Friendly staff, very welcoming, and delicious ice cream! The opportunity to sample is very kind. The flavors are packed with nostalgia for myself. The warmed brownie within my sundae helped meet the craving I had.I'd definitely return to this establishment!

This was our first visit to the downtown area. As soon as we pulled into the main area we saw nearly everyone with ice cream. We made a point to eat lighter at dinner so we could see what the hype was about. We got it - it's delicious! Great variety of flavors to include your traditional favorites to very creative, and yummy, concoctions.

This was the first time visiting Fresh Local Ice Cream. My friend recommended we stop by this location to get dessert. I immediately notice how fun the decor was at the ice cream shop. The staff was friendly and offered tastings to assist my friend and I with choosing a flavor. I choose the Carolina Crunch. It includes pieces of Heath toffee and Butterfinger. It was quite tasty. I recommend visiting this ice cream spot in downtown Apex.

Ice Cream is absolutely delicious! Always great to visit when I am in town. Customer service is hit-and-miss, unfortunately.
