Moonlight Swirl

The best frozen Yogurts and Ice-​cream anywhere. I drive to their location and have a different flavor on each visit! The toppings are FANTASTIC! Debbie and Henry Tilton the owners puts customers first and follow the principals of Disney. Please get the Moonlight Swirl food truck on the road. I will always follow you.

Best Froyo in Raleigh. My wife and I are pretty particular about our froyo. This place is our go-​to location. The flavors are always on-​point and creative. The toppings are fresh and plentiful (if you want good-​high-​quality) cookie dough pieces, this is your spot.
Ambiance is cool, kids seems to love it.
We’ve met the owners and love chatting with them whenever they’re in there. We also love that the owners will work on holidays like the 4^th of July because they want to give the day off to the high school or college kids that they employ (who are also very friendly).
Honestly, we’ve been there probably 30 times and have not a single complaint to date.
Support this local business!

We demanded compensation. And we got a discount. the female employees would walk away from the female customers to wait on the male. We asked them to come back to complete the job. All employees walked away from customers to have a gossip session. And run away from female customers. The female employees would walk in front of female customers. and they short changed us. WE had to correct them. Talk back rude, rush to get rid of, interrupt, and yell at. The employees would not clean the restaurant up. They were just gossiping with each other. We had enough of them and not been back. Other places we got better service. That sell the same items. When asking the female employees where the items are. They yell and scream and put the hand in the air. And only nice to male customers.

Rude staff that turns you away before 9:00 p.m. I called to discuss the time discrepancies and was laughed at and hung up on. Fourth time going there and leaving empty handed.

Their website says that they should have been open until 10:30 tonight. I got there at 10pm to find the door locked, the chairs stacked up, the lights dimmed, and the two teens working there well in the middle of shutting down. According to them the website was wrong and has been giving the wrong time for a while, and they actually close at 10. Given when I got there, and how far they were into cleanup, the two kids working tonight shut down well in advance of even 10pm tonight.
End result no yogurt, and I wasted my time driving out there because no one has bothered to have the online hours updated so they’re correct.

The BEST frozen yogurt spot in Raleigh! Moonlight is a charming spot tucked away on Falls of News. Nearly all of their products are locally sourced and made with all natural ingredients. The décor is simply stunning! It’s a modern take on the 1970 complete with a fully restored VW van outside. There is great outdoor seating and tons of seasonal flavors. This is a MUST do on your Raleigh check list!

We love froyo places and the ambience and décor at Moonlight Swirl was fabulous — unfortunately, that’s where the good review ends. I was not impressed with the flavors, so I opted for vanilla. I decided to make a strawberry shortcake, and piled on the graham cracker crumbs. I think someone screwed up, though, because I’m pretty sure it was sand. Gritty and crunchy like sand and totally NO flavor.
I won’t go back. We’ll stick with Menchie’s!

Good selection of flavors and toppings; from dark chocolate to island coconut and mini m&ms, fruit or cookie dough toppings. Enjoyed nice seats in the shade even on a hot day or we could have sat inside. Staff suggested tasting before choosing, Decisions decisions. Will be back soon.

Great place and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. I have a dairy allergy so I was excited to find the sorbet/​Italian ice options. The Tiger’s Blood was amazing! Even better than the typical snow cone flavor that I’ve come to love. Worth checking out.

Oh, moonlight swirl, you are so dreamy! Your frozen yogurt, gelato, and sorbet flavors are a taste sensation. The Crème Brûlée gelato nearly made me swoon right there on the spot! The Ghiradelli white chocolate and caramel toppings are so deliriously decadent I feel the urge to go confession. I could barely choose between the butterfinger, peanut butter cup, and toffee toppings. And you’re fruit bar made my mouth water. Then I found the marshmallow fluff… and died and went to Heaven.
Seriously though: I really did love our visit to Moonlight Swirl. The shaded, cool dining area is the perfect oasis on a sweltering hot day. They honestly have the most topping options I’ve ever seen and that gelato is seriously delish. They even have hot toppings like chocolate and caramel.
The location is hard to find if you’re traveling north. Just look for Moe’s and it’s tucked right there on the corner along Falls of Neuse.
They have a beautiful little outdoor patio that can be used for private parties. Just reserve in advance!
This place is truly a gem. I can’t wait to go back!

Crème Brulee was the Winning Flavor! Second visit was the Charm or was it that we brought friends! I had tried this place before, and this time found a flavor I could munch on for a while and with a Waffle Cone I got the Munch in a crunch and a crunch, my Bride likes the broken cone pieces on top of her flavors
I enjoy the two Outside sitting areas and the furniture colors for inside and outside! Nice spot to talk about Movies and Politics! The Staff were very Sweet, Polite and Patient

This place is awesome! Yogurt is delicious, a ton of toppings, and affordable. We loaded up our cups and they came out to about $ 3.50 each, so worth it!

This is the best froyo place I’ve tried in Raleigh. Delicious yogurt and a wonderful team. Plus the atmosphere is way better than most.

Loved my first time here. While some might complain about the topping selection in comparison to the chains — I loved the unique sweets they carry here. Yogurt covered animal crackers, chocolate moon rocks, sea salt mini caramel truffles! I love going places where I can get stuff that I can’t buy at the grocery store. The store employee was super friendly and I must have gotten there right before the after school rush — because I had no trouble with waiting, parking or yelling children.

My son and I enjoyed a stop into Moonlight Swirl tonight; they had a great mix of flavors and toppings. I thought the cinnamon bun flavor was the standout, although the crème brûlée was quite tasty as well. My son appreciated the fun toppings like chocolate rocks.
Friendly service, convenient location and reasonable price. We’ll be back!

A fun and tasty fro-​yo spot with plenty of interesting flavors (try their Birthday Cake and salted pretzel caramel) and nifty toppings. Can be a bit loud with small children about, but there is plentiful outdoor seating and the staff is pleasant and professional.

First time at Moonlight Swirl and we’ve found our new favorite fro-​yo shop. Super friendly owner and staff. Fresh toppings and delicious yogurt and sorbet flavors. We will definitely be frequent visitors.

I had driven by this frozen yogurt place quite a bit but never stopped in. What was I thinking?! This place is amazing! I received a «buy one, get one» offer in the mail and decided to give it a go. I’d been looking for a go-​to place near my apartment when I was craving a sweet treat at night, and I think Moonlight Swirl has delivered. First, the design is a really cool concept. They’re also spinning a lot of flavors, some that are non-​fat and some that are low-​fat; I would say there are more flavors than a few of the other frozen yogurt places in the area. I tried the sea salt caramel pretzel and was blown away. The flavor was rich and the yogurt was creamy, not icy. They have an extensive (really, extensive) selection of toppings. Above all, the store was very clean and the toppings were well-​stocked. I’ll be back for sure!

I really should work on my observation skills, as I just spotted this place a week or so ago. When I suggested a stop-​in for the «new place», Husband informed me that it’s been here awhile. Uh, I see that now since reviews go back to, oh, 2012.
Well, my loss for not noticing before, because YUM. Spotless. Nice choice of flavors. I tried vanilla, cookies n cream, and a berry one. My favorite was the one I somehow missed (more reason to work on my observation skills), that Husband let me try… salted pretzel caramel… wow! Also managed to miss his other favorite, Southern Butter Pecan. I must go back soon and redeem myself!
The topping choices are really awesome, and not a bunch of cereal fillers… things like mini peanut butter cups, jelly beans, fruit, white chocolate chips… you know, the GOOD stuff!
Note: they do have a good size patio… one side of which is kinda enclosed, and there’s a sign on it that you can reserve the «lunar» area for parties.
I know yogurt places tend to come and go, but here’s hoping this one stays around awhile, especially now that I finally found it!

Since this place is walking distance from Raleighwood Cinema, it was a great little after-​movie treat for some girlfriends and I in mid March.
We were allowed to sample some flavors. I tried a Blueberry Tart, which really did taste like a sweeter version of blueberry yogurt; Red Velvet Cupcake, which really did take like an ice cream version of the same; and a pretzel flavor. So many to taste and quite an array of fun fro-​yo ideas.
All were fun flavors, but I went with old faithful nonfat chocolate and vanilla along with some sprinkles, blueberries, a couple cherries, and the obligatory gummy bears. Then we went outside to sit on the covered patio and enjoy our treats on a wraparound bench. A nice little delightful way to end a moonlit Saturday night and for only $ 3.80.
