Maple View Dairy. They have a ice cream shop across from Weaver Street Market in Carrboro, but even better is the country store out in rural Hillsborough.
+1 for the country store. Get your ice cream and enjoy it on a rocking chair on the covered front porch. (It's been a while, but I used to do a 62 mile bike ride [aptly named the Ice-Cream Route] that had this as a stop just a few miles from the finish. Good stuff)
Fresh, on Glenwood Ave by Taverna Agora and Golden Corral, also sells Maple View Ice Cream. And a food science major from NC State also tells me the NC State Creamery is great as well!
Absolutely great ice cream (my favorite is the Vietnamese Coffee), and really nice folks as well. They're also in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign to raise funding for a brick-and-mortar location in Durham.
Their schedule is on their website, and you can usually catch them at the Durham Farmers' Market location on Saturdays, or when there is a Durham Food Truck Rodeo. (FYI, there is one this Sunday for Father's Day)

When we took the tour at Maple View, we learned that they learned how to make ice cream at "Ice Cream University" at Penn State.

It's definitely worth the trip to go to the farm and sit on their rockers overlooking the beautiful farm scenery, while the kids play in the grass.

I've heard great things about The Parlour. It's a good thing they don't stop at my work to tempt me!
My daughter and I just went to Maple View today and it was, as usual, fabulous! It was very dense and creamy!
