First time visiting Sedona- had to try some prickly pear ice cream- nice and creamy, very subtle flavor not sure what prickly pear real tastes like. Oreo ice cream also creamy and not too sweet. Homemade apple taste but good crumble. read more

Homemade ice cream. What more could you ask for! And the best part: they only serve two scoops, none of this baby scoop business. Totally five stars!! (Btw, I'd take a picture of my Oreo ice cream waffle cone but it's all gone!!!!!) read more

Store front shop on touristy main road. Staff was efficient and ice cream creamy and good. We would go back. read more

Stopped in once earlier as we walked by to see what they had inside, we weren't even greeted there was just one guy at the counter who looked our way and didn't really acknowledge we had even stepped in after making eye contact. So we walked out. Went back the next day and there were more people working the counter and were immediately greeted and asked what we wanted. More friendly ladies and the vibe was different in a better way. We ordered blueberry pie and peach. They asked if we wanted it warm and we said yes. The blueberry pie was very good not overly sweet with a nice crust but was entirely cold. The peach was the same thing. Real slices of peach and yummy pie but entirely cold also. Paid $12 for 2 slices read more

After looking at 5-6 ice cream gelato shops in town, I finally found a place in Sedona that served homemade prickly pear ice cream, which is an Arizona specialty! The natural color of the fruit is pink so the ice cream took that on. The taste is fruity, like a sweet berry. Would recommend!  A small cup was $7.45 after tax, and included two scoops that you can mix and match flavors! read more

This place caught me by surprise. We weren't in too much of an ice cream mood that day because it was already quite chilly outside, but we wanted to try it so we just got their small cup. That size allows you to choose two flavors, so we had their Belgian Chocolate and Espresso Swirl. SO. INCREDIBLY. GOOD! Their ice cream is almost like a gelato because it was so lush and creamy and so flavorful without being overly sweet. It's not the kind of ice cream that has those little ice chip bits you get in every bite. Nope. This was just pure creamy bliss all throughout. Everything they had was homemade too--from cookies to brownies to pies, and of course their ice cream! They had coffee as well, so they truly have a lot to choose from when you stop by. The staff were super nice and friendly, and made our visit such a happy one. We also heard they usually have a long line that goes out the door, so we were pretty lucky when we found ourselves only with a few other people ahead of us when we visited. Although after we got our order, the stream of people that arrived seemed endless. If you find yourself in Uptown Sedona, please stop by and get some of their ice cream. I know I will when we go to Sedona again! read more

Prickley Pear ice cream is pink. I don't know if I'd recommend it per se. But I guess one should try it when in this neck of the woods. The burbon chocolate pecan pie tastes better warmed up. Ice cream is extra. I like that they charge less for cups. That's how it should be. read more

We stopped in here for some ice cream and nabbed a parking spot right out front (it was also just past 6pm so free, yay). The shop is small and they don't have restrooms but they are definitely serving up some delicious goodies. We went all in on the apple pie sundae. We did the double crust (the crumble looked great but there was only a sad, small slice left and I wanted a bigger slice for the $10+ price tag). The pie slice was warm and gooey, we had an epic scoop of the malted vanilla on top (pro move over the regular vanilla), caramel sauce and whipped cream. It was AMAZING. Seriously, like a big hug of nostalgia. When we went it was cash only, not sure if that's normal (presumably not since it was a hand written sign on the door). The other ice cream and baked goods looked YUMMO so we will likely be back. Worth the splurge (both calories and money wise) read more

Very disappointing experience. My husband and I drove all the way from Phoenix to Sedona on October 6, specifically for this coffee shop because he loves their coffee, and it was his birthday. We arrived at 8:20 PM, and they close at 9 PM. The customers right in front of us were served hot coffee, but when it was our turn, we were told they had stopped making it. I understand preparing for closing, but I don't understand why others were served and we weren't. We weren't asking for special treatment, just the same service as everyone else. What was supposed to be a special birthday experience turned into a disappointing one. read more

Needed dessert and a coffee after hiking all morning. This place is a quaint shop with ice cream, pie, coffee and other drinks. I ordered a latte and a piece of cherry crumble pie, and my husband got an ice cream sundae with coffee ice cream and chocolate fudge with real whipped cream. He was in heaven. My pie was just ok, but I needed a pick me up from hiking. Unfortunately, they were out of their strawberry rhubarb that was on their website. Very friendly service and very reasonable prices compared to another ice cream shop down the street. read more

A sign outside says "best" ice cream in Sedona. I may not have tried every ice cream in Sedona, but I have been there enough to say if not the best it is at least one of the best. We had the Turtle Sundae in a waffle bowl and chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Both were delicious. They claim their ice cream, even whipped cream are made fresh in the store. The taste confirms it. We'll definitely return the next time we're in Sedona. read more

This charming little spot in uptown Sedona is a dessert lover's dream. We stopped in for a treat and were met with fast, friendly service and a menu packed with homemade goodness. I grabbed an oversized chocolate chip cookie that was everything you want in a cookie soft, rich, and generously loaded with chocolate. It was the kind of cookie that makes you pause mid-bite and smile. My daughter went for a scoop of French Vanilla (with speckles!) in a cup, topped with a waffle cone a fun twist that made her day. My sister picked up a slice of chocolate pie that was so good, we didn't even need to remember the exact name to know it was a hit. Prices were refreshingly reasonable--especially coming from Los Angeles, where dessert inflation is real. There's a wide variety to choose from, and it genuinely feels like everything is made in-house with care. From pies to ice cream to cookies, Black Cow Café delivers homemade charm in every bite. read more

Came for the Prickly Pear Ice Cream. Quick service and casual ambiance. Pricey for 1-2 scoops, but tasty with a good creamy consistency. It's a unique flavor that I can't describe, but you should try at least once when in the Southwest. read more

I decided to follow my nose and walk inside randomly while I was in town visiting. I ordered my go to hazelnut latte and was pleasantly surprised to enjoy the best latte ever! I will be stopping by again till next time I am visiting Sedona. read more

Nothing ever sounds better than a scoop of ice cream after a hike on a hot day! This shop is pretty small and has just a few tables inside. There's 10 ice cream flavors to choose from and I sampled a few before selecting to get a small cup of the espresso swirl for $7. The server offered me to pick two different flavors but I decided to just stick with the one. She was very helpful and the service was fast. read more

Follow-up visit review: We loved Black Cow so much we went four times in a row--that should say it all. After trying several of their pies, our absolute favorite was the chocolate chip bourbon pecan, à la mode. The pie and ice cream are consistently excellent, but what really stands out is the service. The staff was just as friendly as our first visit and even remembered our daughter, which made the experience feel extra special. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Busy ice cream shoppe located within the strip. It was crowded but staff moved through the line quickly. Presentation was mediocre as it was a bit messy and ice cream flavors were depleted by early evening but service was exceptional and taste was even better! We tried the Affogato and the Belgian Chocolate ice cream- yum! Will definitely return! read more

We went out late for an ice cream attack in Sedona and went to the Black Cow. The place was open but not really busy at 6:30 PM. That made it really easy for us to order ice cream - she had butter pecan with espresso swirl. I had Belgian Chocolate with Espresso Swirl. Both delicious! The server told us we would like the espresso swirl - and he was right! Great flavor and great service fits this place. I highly recommend it! read more

Very long wait, but the other 2 places we tried during the day were closed, so maybe that's why? They also only had 2 people working. But both were very kind, and doing their best to be efficient and helpful. They don't have a huge list of flavors - maybe about 10? But lots of topping options! The ice cream itself is pretty good - it's hard, not soft serve. No bathroom, and only a handful of tables. read more

Picked up two slices of pie from Black Cow Cafe for our outdoor picnic. The line was a bit long but moved quickly, so the wait wasn't bad. The pies were good and made for a nice treat. read more

Service was excellent! Super friendly and helpful ladies behind the counter. The waffle cones were really good too. I just thought the ice cream was pretty mediocre. I kind of hope i would have tried one of the other million ice cream shops on the street. read more

The staff were helpful and polite. The ice cream and pie were on point. We very much enjoyed the ice cream here and would recommend it.

Friendly and appreciative staff, good quality ice cream and many menu options. Prices slightly higher than some other places, but overall a great spot to grab an after dinner sweet treat. read more

The ice cream is great. My hubby had the prickly pear sundae and I had the cowabunga smoothie. Both were great. The service is good. The ice cream and desserts are homemade. It looks like an old fashioned ice cream shop. Very cute. They also have pies and cookies. They seem to have a stream of customers coming in. We have been here twice and both times very good. It is a bit pricey. The sundae are $7.75 and the scoops are small but taste great. read more

Super busy on July 4th! We came here after dinner to grab some ice cream. I ordered the Oreo sundae. I wish it had more ice cream in it. The fudge, Oreos and whipped cream were very good. I would definitely get a scoop next time, since the sundae is expensive for the amount of ice cream included. The ice cream is delicious though. read more

It can get busy so parking is challenging at times but you can stroll the shops, it's a cute area. I just don't get why their public restroom is in the visitors area and it closes when the office closes so you're kinda on your own to figure it out after if you're needing a restroom after dessert. The ice cream was good and well sized scoops. They had a few small tables. read more

The ice cream doesn't have much flavor (our party tried 3 different flavors), the scoops were small, and the shop has a limited selection of flavors to choose from. read more

I forget how we stumbled upon this place during our time in Sedona, but it did not disappoint for sure! I know one of the trademark pies was the apple pie, but my eyes got drawn to the bourbon chocolate chip. It wasn't too sweet and paired well with the butter pecan ice cream. We also wanted to try out more ice cream flavors there; prickly pear was very refreshing after such a hot and dry day too. The shop still had pretty cozy vibes though I do think that half the folks there were out of town. We went an hour or so before closing time, the folks there were pretty nice and patient with us. read more

It's an ice cream that when I'm done eating I actually feel nourished and my gut loves it. No regrets and not too much sugar. Creamy homemade with love. It is my very favorite ice cream! read more

Perfect stop for an ice cream, or even a latte. Surprising to hear they even have hot dogs as well. Service was ok, only 3 workers that day... so it was a bit of a wait. Although, the wait was worth it. The kids did a great job trying to keep up. Ambiance was cute, but I don't recall any seating inside. It's more of a grab and go situation. read more

This was the only place in Sedona we found that serves drip decaf coffee, so we loved that since my mom only drinks decaf. The service was very quick and friendly. It was a wonderful, warm, deliciously scented place to stop in on a cold day. The drip coffee and latte were both delicious. read more

NOT DOG FRIENDLY AT ALL! If you have a dog with you, don't bother to come here. The moment we come in with our dog, the immediate greeting to us was "we don't allow dogs in here". No Hi, No Hello. Not exactly how someone should greet a customer. Also to paint a better picture, our dog was in a stroller with enclosed netting. She wasn't loose, she wasn't barking, nothing. We weren't planning to sit inside anyway but just to order some ice cream as a reward for the hikes we did today and sit at the benches outside to enjoy the nice weather. But the guy at the counter ruined the moment for us. Next time, be a little courteous to your customers. They don't even bother to check if your dog is service animal or not. I'd rather take my business elsewhere where there's reasonable customer service. read more
