FRESH Local Ice Cream

While I was out for a walk downtown, I decided to visit Fresh, a popular spot in the heart of downtown Cary. The staff was welcoming and patient with every order. I ordered a scoop of birthday cake and a scoop of banana pudding ice cream in a waffle cone. I enjoyed both flavors, although the color of the birthday cake ice cream was unexpected. The waffle cone was tasty but quite large - I couldn't finish it and didn't need it on the cone. I look forward to trying other flavors in the future.

This is my favorite local ice cream place in Cary. Pros - Their "honey sea salt" flavor is the best ice cream I have ever had. I love the combo of salty and sweet and the simplicity of the flavor is beautiful.Staff is super friendly and helpfulCons -The store is small and cramped, hate coming here when it's crowded.I don't like their waffle cones which is unfortunate because I love waffle cones. There is something dense, dry, and heavy about their cones. With this said, they are still my favorite ice cream place in town, and I tell everyone about the amazing honey sea salt!!!

Was craving hard ice cream, so sought this place out. Parking is difficult but was able to find a spot in a tiny shopping center across the street. Ordered white mint chip. Great flavor but too many chocolate chips for me. Nothing bland on the shop, just not a huge lover of loaded frozen chocolate in my ice cream. Would definitely go back for another flavor. Staff was friendly, not too busy. Prices were ok.

The service was great, the store was clean and family friendly. The ice cream was good and creamy. I loved the banana pudding flavor. When in Holly springs I'll be coming back

Amazing ice cream and awesome seasonal flavors. My kids absolutely love this place too.

I come here 1-2 times a month for their monthly flavors. Some of the employees know my name, they are all super friendly. Fresh is my favorite ice cream shop and the Cary location is my favorite!

loved this place!! the employees were really nice and the ice cream was perfect. would definitely recommend

I'm glad FRESH provides a local ice cream shop in downtown Cary. I came with my daughter and she ordered the Cookies and Cream while I tried their seasonal Spiced Cookie flavor.My ice cream wasn't bad - I wish it was a little creamier and had more "spice" flavor in it, but overall I can't complain too much. My daughter liked her Cookies and Cream and was excited that the sprinkles came with the kids scoop.The portion size is generous, and although the pricing is on the steeper side, I can understand why.The parking can be a hassle, especially with construction going on in the area. There was plenty of seating outside, and we at our ice cream outside, in spite of it being a bit chilly.Also - I know this can be controversial and every business has the freedom to make choices for themselves, but as a customer who brought a young child with me, I was disappointed that none of the staff were wearing masks while indoors. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt in that they are probably screening employees prior to working and making informed decisions regarding COVID, but regardless - the optics of going maskless when you're serving food while we're still in a pandemic isn't great, even if the town isn't requiring it indoors anymore. That's just my personal opinion, and it honestly didn't affect my star rating for them. Just go prepared that the staff doesn't wear masks (or at least didn't wear them when I came on December 8), if that makes a difference to you as a customer.

I love their dairy free options, the chocolate is amazing! The rest of my family loves all the options and I especially enjoy giving my Fur Baby a Puppy Sundae! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and we like sitting outside and smelling the waffle cones and people watching while we enjoy our treats. First place I took my dad when he came to visit Apex for the first time. Highly recommended gem!

I came to this establishment on an EXTREMELY hot day. the employee who served me was very kind and helpful. overall it was a very positive experience. will come again!!!
