Parish Parlor

My parents and I came here for dessert right after dinner and loved the atmosphere! The workers were so nice and let us try the different flavors and they had a variety of unique ice creams. The mint chocolate chip for example was made with fresh mint so it tasted a lot less artificial! We all recommend it!

So many yummy flavors of ice cream. We settled on the toasted coconut and the espresso brownie. Amazing. They were cooking up batches of different flavors while we were there which was cool to watch.

Had the mud pie vegan ice cream. It was good. Small place and some good choices. Would like to do the espresso next time with some chocolate coffee beans. Hopefully they will get a vegan vanilla to go with it to make an affogato.

My fiancé and I had a hefty lunch around the area and decided to take a nice stroll on Magazine Street to walk off the calories. I found myself popping in and out of dessert storefronts, but the ones I visited didn't quite pique my interest. What got me hooked on Parish Parlor was the the fresh buttery smell of cones. There was one softspoken, friendly server at the time who greeted us.

I tried a couple of flavors including the Cinnamon Toasted Crunch and Pecan Pie. Both were delicious but the funny thing was that I ended up getting the ice cream I didn't try, Bananas Fosters. That said, I knew I was going to get Bananas Foster the moment I set my eyes on the flavor.

I'm a huge fan of banana flavored ice cream, so despite being biased I thought the Bananas foster was outstanding. The banana flavor was prominent, and the texture of the ice cream was so smooth. Only negative was that I found it to be overly sweet. I could eat a scoop of ice cream easily, but I couldn't finish half of the single scoop since it was that sweet.

Parish Parlor is a small-batch ice cream parlor which specializes in classic French-style ice cream and seasonal sorbets along with offering Vegan and alternative milk-based options. Parish Parlor is located in the New Orleans Lower Garden District about 8 minutes and 2 miles away from the French Quarter at 1912 Magazine Street which is one of the busiest commercial arteries in the area. I was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful and dense the ice cream here was. This is some of the best ice cream in the New Orleans area although it does come at a bit of a premium. They have a very interesting selection of flavors and unlike some other area ice cream and gelato joints their ice cream has very deep and intense flavors. Overall if you love full flavored ice cream that is a pleasure to eat then you should make a visit to Parish Parlor.

Wow, just wow. I am so impressed by the flavors. I absolutely loved it.

Wedding cake - cake bits and almond flavored ice cream
Lavender London fog - subtle lavender that isn't overwhelming

Together, the provided a perfect blend.

This place was adorable, one of our favorite outings for ice cream ever. After driving to see some cool decorated homes for Mardi gras we stopped by here and my son was insanely happy. Service was great.

Creamy and light, with a bunch of unique freshly made flavors!
The staff is super friendly and helpful in deciding flavor choices. Since there are so many good ones we legit tasted almost all of them and took about 10 minutes to decide, and she stuck with us and patiently waiting for us to land on the perfect flavors. Great recommendations!
Definitely worth a visit if your in the area!!

This is a place you definitely want to visit! I'm typically a creole creamery place but I love the flavors here and I'm usually a traditional (vanilla, butter pecan) ice cream gal. Try the espresso ice cream, it was def a fav for me. I also like the different toppings and that they have pecans rather than chopped peanuts. Service was friendly and patient as my son wanted to try almost all the flavors. We took our order to go but there was a little table for sitting in the front. This is also a nice place to grab a treat and stroll down magazine. And they have Apple Pay!

This place was such a delight! The ice-cream was delicious and I loved the overall vibe in the mid place. We were able to try the ice cream and my favorite was definitely the espresso brownie flavor.

I stopped here for a quick dessert after searching for something sweet in the area! They offer unique flavors which captured my attention! The service was good! I did sample Lavender London Fog & it was delicious! I ultimately decided on the classic Cookies & Cream which was good as well! I can't wait to stop by & try the seasonal Egg Nog!
