Honeysuckle Gelato Fenton

Honeysuckle Gelato is a great addition to Cary’s growing collection of upscale shops, nestled among enough face serums and $100 leggings to make your wallet break into a nervous sweat. It’s not the newest kid on the block, but it’s definitely part of the fresh wave of “treat yourself” spots popping up in the area. The flavor selection? Impressive. The gelato itself? Not bad at all. In fact, some scoops are quite good. But let’s be real—if you’ve had gelato in Florence or Rome, this won’t exactly make you weep with nostalgia. It’s more “souvenir spoon” than “sacred Italian experience.” Tasty, sure, but not candle-holding worthy. That said, the banana bread pudding flavor deserves a round of applause. It channels the warm, gooey glory of Magnolia Bakery’s iconic dessert and almost justifies the trip on its own. It’s rich, comforting, and dangerously easy to inhale. But here’s where things get sticky: the tipping prompt. A $1 or $2 suggested tip… for scooping a single scoop of gelato? Unless that scoop comes with a eucalyptus-steamed towel and a brief guided meditation, we might need to rethink the service-to-tip ratio. It’s gelato, not a five-course tasting menu. In short, Honeysuckle Gelato is a solid stop for a sweet treat and some light indulgence, just don’t expect the Roman holiday of your dreams. And maybe bring your own spa towel.

All flavors were good, especially salted caramel brownie and honey bun. Friendly staff and good price. And had vegan options. Very creamy ice cream and gelato but not that many options,Would come again

In this quaint and delicate shop, the delicious gelato is like nectar from a dream, each bite radiating a rich aroma that captivates the soul. However, the variety of flavors, like the leaves of autumn, though beautiful, are sparse, bringing a tinge of regret even as one savors the taste. These limited flavors are like an unfinished poem—lovely yet fleeting, always leaving one longing for a richer chapter next time. Each visit becomes a culinary adventure on the tip of the tongue, searching for that unique and ephemeral delight.

My daughters soccer team came in today after 2 wins at wakemed soccer park. The staff were extremely accommodating and kind to us and our kids. To top it off the gelato is A-mazing. Definitely check them out. Thank you Honeysuckle staff for making our kids day!!!!

Great place to get an after dinner delicious gelato on a hot and humid fall night!

The gelato is amazing and TJ was super kind nd sweet let me try a bunch of samplers. I got the Belgium waffle with cinnamon roll chefs kiss. Will be back

This little gelataria provides a nice small selection of fresh gelato with some decent cookies as well as the normal associated drinks, shakes, floats, and fresh made waffle cones and bowls. Serving sizes are a little small, but the flavors are pretty strong. The solid adds to the flavors; brownie bits, chips, chunks, etc. are small enough to blend well and are pretty evenly incorporated. The Blondie and Chocolate Brownie were both creamy and was a nice blend of gelato with the adds. The cookies had good flavor and were cooked properly, but were just OK. This is a very busy entertainment/dining district. Parking can be challenging and foot traffic can be quite busy.

Delicious flavors with a welcoming store front and representative for the business! My daughter tried a combo of vanilla and raspberry sherbet which were equally delicious and wonderfully paired together! I was suggested to try the banana pudding and was not led astray! The banana pudding reminded me INSTANTLY of my favorite childhood cake from Entenmann's - hurry before it's removed from their summer menu but don't forget to also try their chocolate brownie gelato as well! No matter what you choose, you'll find the gelato at Honeysuckle is a great treat for the whole family at a very reasonable price! Will be keeping this spot on our radar!
