Maple View Farm: The best ice cream in Chapel Hill

Without a doubt, Maple View Farm has been a staple in many North Carolina households for a long time. DTH readers say it’s not just a staple – it’s the best ice cream in town.

The delicious, handmade ice cream is a year-round treat, but it especially hits the spot on those warm summer days. 

If you want a break from city life, head over to Hillsborough and take a break at Maple View Farm, where you can enjoy the beautiful view accompanied by faint mooing in the distance. While you’re there, order some ice cream and sit back in one of the rocking chairs on the front porch. 

If you can’t make it out of town, Maple View’s ice cream is sold in a couple of locations around town. 

With standard flavors like vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, accompanied by some unique ones like Carolina Crunch or fresh peach, there are options for anyone and everyone. Not to mention their hand-made waffle cones, the perfect complement to any of their ice cream flavors.
