My wife actually introduced me to Holy Cow when we lived nearby, and from that very first visit I…read morewas hooked. It's easily one of the best places to grab ice cream on a warm summer evening. There's something special about enjoying your favorite flavor while watching the sunset. Fast forward a few years, and now we're bringing our own kids here to make those same memories. The ice cream has always been consistently delicious, no matter how many times we've visited, and the staff has been friendly and welcoming every single time. It's one of those places that never disappoints, and we're always happy to make the trip back whenever we're in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for great ice cream and a relaxed atmosphere with family or friends!

We stopped in for an afternoon treat before a crowd of people and got helped easily. They have soft serve, froyo, and hard ice cream among some other treats. We got the flavor burst which was yummy and a classic. Their soft serve is so good. Lots of outdoor space for seating and hanging out that was clean and parking was super easy as well.

It reminds me of a modern Dairy Queen. There is a little sloped roof building with an extensive…read morecolorful menu posted above so ordering windows. Soft serve and hard ice cream abounds with classic and creative flavors. The team is super nice and efficient. There is a pavilion out back with picnic tables. I just went with the mainstay chocolate vanilla twist in a cake cone. For a small it was a generous portion. The prices are really reasonable compared to what I am used to in Jersey!

The fam were in the area for a weekend and we'd already had some bad whiffs (both our hotel and the…read morerestaurant we went to for dinner were stinkers). We were all praying a dessert 'nightcap' could salvage this trip far from home. No pressure, Jolly Cow, no pressure. This was obviously 'the place to be' - countless people coming and going. All sorts of "hang out" areas (under a tent, in the grass on benches, you name it) - so we were feeling good that we picked a winner. We waited in line for a spell and when we went to start our order we encountered our first remora... cash only. (People still carry cash, huh?) Crisis averted (yeah, my kids had cash on them!) - back in line to try this again. Family of four all getting some serious treats and all for under $20? Sweet! (Dad puns unavoidable, sorry.) "Small" cone was the size of a Smurf (aka - 3 apples) which is crazy (good). I went with their 'Razzle' which is a step-sibling to DQ's Blizzard (I think the last time I had Reese's Pieces ET was still trying to phone home) and... pretty darn incredible. (Although it too was just TOO much of a good thing and I wish it was even smaller than their small.) You saved our weekend, Jolly Cow. And that's the "utter" truth. (I warned y'all that the dad puns weren't going to stop.)

I couldn't believe the owner blended these herself! The flavors are classic yet surprising. The…read moreshop is decked out in colorful artwork, matching the spiked Ice Cream vibe. My Wife and I decided to try the flavor of the month and it didn't disappoint. Served up in a cute stemless martini cup and cocktail umbrella.

This was SUCH a tasty chocolate ice cream. It was not at all bitter like the description "dark…read morechocolate" suggests. It was perfectly rich and fudgy. There was a hint of raspberry which I wished was more prominent but I can't knock it too much because it was still a very good ice cream.

Such a cute little themed FroYo place!!…read more My husband and I were in Beacon for the weekend and after a long morning of hiking, decided to pop in and treat ourselves to some fro-yo. Like most fro-yo places I've been to, this was self-serve and pay-by-the-ounce. They had about 8 different flavors (at least one was vegan!) but I settled on just plain ole chocolate. Making my way to the toppings bar, I added M&Ms, chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles (what can I say? I love chocolate!). I will say that I appreciated the sprinkles being in an actual sprinkle jar!! This kept them from getting contaminated with other sprinkles and I was way too happy about this. The vibes in this place were groovy!! I love a good theme, and the owner did a phenomenal job of really making the place feel like you stepped into the 1970s (although I wasn't alive back then, so maybe I'm not the best judge?). If you're looking for a cold sweet treat to beat the heat AND want an Instagram-able spot, THIS IS IT!

Ok so all began with basically everything house made. Milks, syrups, chocolates. Options of chocolates are wild. I of course had to grab a few and was utterly blown away but the flavors. Keep in mind, these are vegan. I normally don't do vegan. These were amazing. Spent 3 times as much on chocolates as coffee. No regrets. This is a paradise of sweets, little treats and coffee. What more could you need? Unfortunately no pictures. Didn't have enough brain power to pull out a phone while nibbling on delectable treats. So yea don't walk here. Run!!!

Lagusta's in New Paltz has always been on my radar- even back when I lived in Westchester. Now that…read moreI'm up in the sticks, it's kind of nice knowing I'm closer to them. So one day on my lunch break, I decided to finally swing by and see what they're all about- especially since their whole thing is chocolate. The space inside is cozy with a nice cocoa aroma that almost wraps around you like a blanket. This isn't just a chocolate cafe- it's a nice little wonderland where cocoa is the soul, but not the whole story. Alongside their truffles, you'll find hot chocolate, brownies, pastries, etc- all Vegan. I was really looking forward to the chocolate truffles, but the chewy texture threw me off. I expected that smooth, melt-in-your-mouth center like the classic ones. And I get it- these folks are completely vegan- even so, I hoped for a similar consistency in these- veganized of course. And I couldn't leave without trying the hot chocolate. Theirs needed more cocoa oomph. Still, the service was solid and the staff was great.
