This ice cream shop is so cute. They have a great variety of ice cream flavours. When you walked into the shop, you can see a lot of different "cows" merch, snacks and souvenirs. I went there at 11am, but there was already a line there LOL The cone is freshly made. I got the cone and my friend got the cup and they weigh the portion to make sure it is enough. I got the gooey mooey and cowcount cream pie. So yummy! You can ask the staff to give you a sample to taste it before buying it. read more

COWS - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

Cows definitely puts the creaminess in ice cream! Stopped by for a couple of scoops and really enjoyed how heavily creamy they were. Tried the Moo Crunch and PEI Blueberry on cones, and liked how the flavours came through and how they weren't overly sweet. Only quibbles were the blueberries were too icy and the cones were a bit hard. But overall, really enjoyed. This is the perfect spot to stop by and grab a scoop to make that walk along Queen Street even more enjoyable. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. There was a line up but it moved pretty quick. I got the moo york ice cream in a cone. It was yummy and perfect treat on a hot day. The scoop was on the smaller size but I saw that they weight it before handing it over. I have had COWS in the east coast before. I'd say it's in par with the ice cream there. It's good but not the best ice cream I have had. read more

Overall COWS was a decent. Atmosphere was great. Perfect spot to cool down on a nice summer day strolling along the strip. The line was a little long but it moved fairly quickly. They ice cream itself was decent but nothing special. I had the Brownie Explosion which was decent. Overall a nice treat to have on a hot summer day but definitely not the best ice cream I've ever had. read more

COWS - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

In Niagara on the Lake, there are MANY, many ice cream shops to choose from but the unique flavor choices and cute accompany cute names pulled us in. The marketing for COWS is through the roof but tastefully done. Its COWS theme is so FUN and trendy that buying just ice cream might be next near impossible. Services was friendly and efficient with the long line going from one end of the shop to the other. You are provided free sample tasting to help you decide on the perfect choices. On this day, we chose peanut butter cup cup, wowie cowie, chunky chocolate mint and chocolate mud. *If charging by credit, be mindful of the tiny "tip" buttons you are tapping. Ice cream was absolutely creamy, flavorful and delicious! It's worth every single lick and crunch!! read more

I only tried them once but LOVE their ice cream. Apparently there only a few cow's ice cream shops around. Super super creamy and delicious, sweet but not overly sweet. My favorite was their blueberry They also make their cones fresh and in store. You can see them making it on the spot. If you're ever in the area, you HAVE to give them a try! They also sell other items like plushies and other souvenirs. read more

Niagara-on-the-lake is such a charming town that it deserves a special ice cream spot! As per most, I was visiting from out of town on a special tour and got to experience the town for only an hour or so, but enjoyed this stop. Cows cleansed my palette with their refreshing unique flavors and quirky store. They're very generous and polite with letting passerby's try the diverse flavors. Lots of great merchandise and memorabilia. This is definitely worthy of a stop if you're in the area or just driving through! Maple syrup might be this country's claim to fame, but their ice cream is right up there too! read more

COWS - External shot with Chocolate dipped waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

I don't know how many times I've been here but the prior time I was super pissed that they served tiny golf ball sized scoops and the flavour was very lacking. Not this time. Wife insisted on coming here and she was right. She had two large scoops of wowie cowie which she loved and I had a scoop of Messie Bessie which was fantastic and the a nice big chunks or ingredients. Service was friendly. We love this place again! read more

What a fun place!! We walked by and saw the line so thought we had to give them a try! The shop has so much fun merchandise!!! They had some very interesting ice cream flavours, I went with the Nanaimo and the Goey Moey and was absolutely surprised how delicious the Nanaimo bar was! You could really taste the custard in the ice cream! Their cones are also very well flavoured and thick! Service is super efficient despite the long lines and very kind! Would definitely recommend! read more

My first time at this Cow's location. The staff were really nice and let us try whatever flavours we wanted. I got a half and half scoop of Apple Crisp and Blueberry on a peanut cone. Apple Crisp had some crumble and caramel inside, and the blueberry had some frozen blueberry pieces in it. Service was fast and there's a cute shop inside to buy some merch. read more

Very cute shop. Tons of wonderful ice cream flavors. I didn't realize their thing is fresh waffle cones. They smell wonderful and are made right in front of you as you wait in line (the line moves quickly, which is great!). My only issue was I do not like waffle cones, at all. There are no other options. The ice cream was great and good service as well! read more

I love Cow's gelato and I make sure to have at least a one scoop cup every time I visit Niagara-on-the-Lake. Their gelato and sorbet flavors ate unique and delicious. I love PEI blueberry and PEI strawberry flavors and all the flavors they have made with their combination. They also have unique chocolate and maple flavors. Each scoop is rather big and they have peanut chunks cone, chocolate cone, chocolate and sprinkle cone, plain waffle cone and cups to choose from. They also sell so many cute swaggers. And the staff are patient and helpful. read more

Must-try ice cream spot in the Niagara on the Lake area! Haven't been to this location in years, but having tried COWS locations across Canada, this location is just as good. Over the long weekend, as expected, the lineup was huge. We were lining up out the door and there were people passing down the menu to check out the flavours. Unfortunately the flavours I wanted to try were not available that day when I ordered at the counter. However, I did get the chance to sample a couple flavours despite how busy it was. I got a double scoop of mint chocolate and coconut cream pie, in a chocolate dipped waffle cone. The mint chocolate was refreshing and the coconut cream pie tasted just like the dessert. I think adding coconut flakes might add a more interesting texture but otherwise it was good. The chocolate waffle cone I found was too sweet and I would probably opt for a regular cone next time. Aside from ice cream, they sell all kinds of merchandise with cow puns. I bought a crew sweater years ago and it still holds up nicely today. Would definitely recommend a visit! read more

I don't understand what all the hype was about, but Cows just seemed like regular ice cream to me. In South Carolina, we have plenty of places with creamier ice cream, Jenny's, Republic, Brewsters, just to name a few. But even if Cows is considered "top notch" in the Niagara area, I would definitely choose one of the many gelato places nearby, over Cows. Aside from the ice cream, Cows does have great waffles, a huge variety of other sweets, and a lot of merch. read more

We love a good ice cream place and we try and find one everywhere we travel. This one ranks right up there with as one of the best! If you are picky, then ask to try in advance. All my favorite fruit ones exceeded my expectations, mango with raspberry, blueberry (made with fresh blueberries but they are in ice cream so they are cold) and apple pie. Mmm. My husband likes the vanilla base with cookie or chocolate and we shared a sundae with a coconut custard and peanut butter cup cup. It was so great! Just look at the picture! read more

There was a line when we arrived on a Saturday, but it wasn't bad at all. The waittime was fairly minimal as they have multiple staff members who take your order. You can enjoy your ice cream while waiting to pay, so no complaints. The staff were nice and friendly. The cashier was friendly and said they tend to be busier in the summer, where the line goes out the door and down the block! So I was glad we came on a day with minimal waittime. The weather was cold and windy with light rain, which is probably why it wasn't as busy. But we didn't want to miss the opportunity while we were there. Overall, the ice cream was delicious! read more

While visiting the town of Niagara on the Lake, we stopped into Cows for an ice cream treat. It's a popular place but the line moves pretty quickly. It's a bit commercial with T-shirt's and souvenirs for sale. They have lots of fun and unique ice cream flavors. We opted for the Messie Bessie, which was a delicious mix of chocolate ice cream, moo crunch, Oreo cookie, and English toffee. read more

Today was a H.O.T and I was melting. I was happy to find Cows on the walk and I had to go a) get ice cream and b) get into an air-conditioned store. Both objectives were accomplished. The ice cream was really good. They have a ton of other souvenirs, t-shirts, toys, etc...they must have some super fans. read more

COWS - an ice cream cone with sprinkles and sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

Whenever I see a long line at an ice cream store, I know it's going to be good. The store is really cute, and there are numerous flavors of ice cream from which to choose. The biggest disappointment was the size of the cone. One scoop is what I would call a baby size cone. Super disappointing for the price. The ice cream was good, but not worth it. read more

Such a great time here. The aged cheese was to die for. Def worth the stop if you're at Niagara Falls.

I liked the CONCept of the store much more than the actual ice cream. The ice cream itself was o-kay, lacked the strong flavor and creaminess that I was looking for. The merch in the store is really funny though and I would gladly get the shirts instead read more

I've been here before just a word of caution this place always has a lineup from the time they open till the time they close, I remember when I went to pei I tried cows and they showed how they make the ice cream getting the fresh milk from the cow, I had the coffee, the ice cream was really creamy, and they're making fresh waffle cone, you really get the coffee flavour, the service was quick and efficient, I wish they have more in the scoop I'm not sure why they weight the ice cream that's a first even though it's priced per scoop, , the ambiance is nice it's kind of a get in and out. read more

COWS - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

I wasn't super impressed with the ice cream flavours that were available for purchase. I understand that I am writing a review for an ice cream shop in February. My sister-in-law said that there are way more ice cream flavours in the summer, which makes sense. Staff are very friendly. I asked for a small ice cream for my 8 year old son, and they asked if I'd rather have a "kiddie scoop". I recommend a kiddie scoop for kids, it's the perfect amount. I found that this store is more about COWS apparel than COWS chocolate and ice cream. read more

Love love love their ice cream!! Cows is actually from PEI and we are so excited that they have a location here... everytime we come by here we always get some pints to go! My favorites are the PEI strawberry and blueberry. As well as the messie Bessie. They also sell butter - super creamy and I love using it in baking and cooking. The store also has some lovely cow merch - I got their friends version T-shirt as well as their blue cows fleece PJ pants! A super cute store and ice cream store as well :) Def worth coming here for some amazing ice cream if you're ever in this area! read more

COWS - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

Niagara-on-the-Lake MUST visit ice cream shop! Lines are long here but worth the wait. Be prepared to be overwhelmed by the variety of ice cream flavours because there are a lot AND all of them sound amazing. The whole shop was filled with a sweet waffle scent because apparently they make them in house! My chocolate/peanut cone was crunchy & gooodd For me, it's always hard choosing so getting 2 scoops def made me feel better (also the better deal) because I could get the best of both worlds and choose a fruity one & a richer creamy one. I ended up ordering the peach melba which has a delish raspberry swirl jam like texture in it and the moo york cheesecake! Both were so good! If you like fruity refreshing flavours its a must to get the peach melba! But I would say that the ice cream fridges must be quite high in temp because the moment they scooped it for me- it started melting. I couldn't even take additional photos because it was dripping all over the place & making a huge mess. Other than the wait once your order you're basically in and out within a few minutes. They have a majority of their shop as a retail store selling souvenirs and their branded merch read more

In a mist of a heat wave, nothing cools you off as well as ice cream and when you head off to the picturesque Niagara-on-the Lake, there is none more popular then COWS! This creamy is a P.E.I. institution and this is their only Ontario location. From the big cow in the front, to all the funny merch, the real standout is their fantastic ice cream. Rich, creamy and delicious, it's no wonder why there is always a line up out the door! Solid 4/5puppies for an amazing east cost ice creamery! read more

The long and the short is that the ice cream is good, but the merch is better. Both are on par price-wise for the town. Something had to be up with the point-of-sale machine because it run up a small cone and a small cup for $22. Our ice cream was melting fast and we just kinda went with it. Only once outside did we question the final cost and of course we didn't have a receipt. Cherry with chocolate nibs on a fresh cone. Some sort of toffee and vanilla in a cup. Tasty enough. Didn't exactly knock out socks off. Made the trip up from Buffalo on a recommendation from a friend who is on the larger side and knows his food. Maybe he had it after a day of winery hopping. Yea, he did, come to think of it. Like I said, the ice cream was good, but not cross an international border and spend an hour's wage for two small ice creams good. read more

Cows very well lives up to their claim as the "best ice cream in Canada". Vacationing at Niagara-on-the-Lake and this location was the only spot we made multiple stops at. Hilarious merch and the creamiest most delicious ice cream you could possibly have. Eat the Cookie Monster - blue ice cream loaded with cookie dough bits. I would have a spare tire around my waist if I had a Cows near me. Note - This location is open from 10-10 year round. Many of their other locations are open until 11. Lots of sad folks were arriving at 10:15PM only to leave without ice cream :( read more

This place sells all kinds of t-shirts and other collectibles with their brand on them. They have numerous flavors of ice cream, we sampled a few. The cowcoconut cream pie was a bit plain. The gooey mooey was very tasty, so was the wowie cowie. We went with a two scoop cup of gooey mooey and maple walnut. The latter didn't have any walnuts in it--not impressed. For $7 the size of the two scoops weren't that big. There's no place to sit inside to eat your ice cream. They seem more interested in selling merchandise than offering comfort. read more

COWS - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Niagara On the Lake, Ontario

What an awesome creamery! The folks at COWS know how to make ice cream! My wife got the peanut butter ice cream while I settled for the sorbet due to lactose issues. So so good! I will say that I had the mango and strawberry sorbets, but while the mango was tasty, the strawberry blew it out of the water. COWS uses PEI (Prince Edward Island) fruits in their products, and that little nudge just pushes their ice creams and sorbets over the edge! They have wonderful t-shirts and other accessories for sale. Kids will love them! The staff was very helpful and polite too! read more
