Cows tshirts
Rosalyn L.

One of the best ice cream shops I've tried! I got to sample a few of their flavours before deciding and ended up going with PEI blueberry, which was packed with fruit. I really enjoyed their other PEI flavours too so it was a difficult decision! The store also doubles as a souvenir shop, with tons of Cows merch and punny tshirts (I ended up getting a few as souvenirs). The staff were also very friendly and helped us pick between flavours. Will be back during my next Whistler trip!

Finally got a chance to try this place and see what it was all about. Other than the morning, there is a crazy lineup here all day until closing time. Parking here is horrendous. The place is actually 80% gift store and 20% ice cream shop. The vibe is pretty rushed, as basically it's an ice cream assembly line. The big one is to have a flavour picked out beforehand. There are some signs outside showing their top flavours, which helps a lot. Plenty of time to decide too while lining up. Pricing is surprisingly reasonable. I can see why there are hordes here. I would come back multiple times, just to try more flavours. Good product, good price. Recommended.

Namanio bar flavor - single scoop in a cup

Stopped by for some late night ice cream, and I'm glad we did! The store is very cute with lots of different merch from stuffed animals to pop-culture themed apparel to other "Cows" themed gifts. There were lots of ice cream flavors to choose from and I ordered the Namanio bar flavor which was a tasty sweet treat. Friendly staff despite lots of people being there; it was nice to be able to sample different ice creams before buying.

My go to spot in town. Love cows, great employees who offer friendly service. Pretty much unlimited tastings. Absolutely love the apple pie and the peanut butter with cups. Highly recommend such a treat to get after a day on the mountain. Will continue to come here for as long as I visit Whistler!!

Chocolate dipped cone with a double scoop, obviously! :D

Super polite staff, happy to help customers and answer questions. The ice cream and cone were great. The only thing I'd add is a bit of chocolate in the bottom of the dipped cones if I could!

Great ice cream with a large variety of flavors! Highly recommend stopping by after a long day of skiing. There was a long line but it moved very quickly.

I have been coming here for years it is one of the best things about coming to Whistler!! So many good flavors to choose from but I loooved the pralines and cream.

COWS in Whistler and all over Canada is a must-visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by the delightful aroma of freshly made waffle cones. Their ice cream is rich, creamy, and flavorful. Beyond the ice cream, the shop itself is full of charm, with fun, cow-themed merchandise and a welcoming, atmosphere. It's The service was quick, and despite being busy, the staff was friendly and efficient.

One of the primary ice cream spots in the area, the spot was basically continuously busy whenever they were open, including into the late evening. We went there a couple of times over three days day, and were never disappointed! The folks working here we're all very pleasant and did a great job taking care of a lot of people in a very short amount of time. They have an impressive number of different flavors, many of which play off of the cow theme, which should make you smile! The prices were as you'd expect for a specialty ice cream shop in a ski village, but honestly, it was worth it every time. Our kids also had a lovely time in the gift shop where they had many a cow themed item. There were so many variations on a theme, that it reminded me of a big dog shirt shop from the 90s You will see this place if you are in Whistler Village, and it's worth going to every time you see it.

We passed by this ice cream shop one day and saw a huge line, so we decided to come back after dinner the next evening to try it out. There was still a massive line. It was around 8 PM on a Saturday. But don't be deterred - the line actually moves pretty quickly. Just make sure you decide what flavor you're getting before you get inside because once inside, it's very stressful/hectic and it moves very fast. I had a scoop of the Birthday Cake (cake batter base, blue frosting swirl, and sprinkles), and a scoop of the Wowie Cowie (vanilla ice cream, English toffee marble, chocolate flakes, and Moo Crunch). I liked the Birthday Cake but the Wowie Cowie was too sweet for me. Hubby had the Moo York Cheesecake (cheesecake ice cream, Oreo cookie, and chocolate swirl) in a cone. Also too sweet for me, and the cone, while it smelled very good in stores, was way too crunchy. It's also very messy to eat and impossible to eat without them giving you a cup to put it in. They also sell other dairy items, like butter and cheese. If I was a local, I totally would have bought some to bring home. That would be more my speed over most of the flavors they have. Not a lot of the flavors appealed to me and most sounded ridiculously sweet. So if you're looking for something simple, Cows is probably not it. But if you have a sweet tooth and are into trying new flavors, you would probably like Cows.

I like the freshness of the ice cream. It's a bit too sweet for me, but the peanut help provides a good contrast balancing the sweetness with some subtle savory crunch. The staffs are nice and accommodating. I got to try other ice creams before deciding to go with the strawberry. There is usually a line though.

Wowie cowie

Ice cream and waffle cone was yummy but a bit disappointed on the portions. Single scope for $4.50 should be bigger.

they advertise this as the best in the area, while their flavors are pretty delicious, its hard to believe that this is the best.

Beaver Tails - Score cheesecake

Beaver Tails

We shared an apple pie beaver tail before we headed back to Vancouver. It was a delicious treat…read moreserved warm. Also, it felt like a classic flavour option to share with the kids although a touch messy when sharing. Service was fast and efficient. I was impressed with their menu options as they also offer ice cream, hot dogs and poutine. They have their own merch for sale too.

BeaverTails is a Canadian dessert spot known for its fried dough pastries topped with sweet and…read moresavory combinations. We walked up to the Whistler location, which is convenient for grabbing a quick treat while exploring the village, especially after spending time outdoors. The shop has a simple, focused setup built around fast service and freshly prepared desserts, with a steady line of customers moving through the counter throughout the day. The BeaverTails are the main draw, and the best part is the texture. The pastry has a crisp exterior while staying soft and chewy inside, which makes it easy to see why it is such a popular Canadian treat. We tried a few different toppings and found the strawberry cheesecake option stood out with a good balance of sweetness, while the classic cinnamon sugar version kept things simple and enjoyable. The toppings are generous and the pastry itself is substantial enough to feel like a proper dessert rather than a light snack. There are also more creative choices like chocolate, fruit, and seasonal toppings for anyone wanting something different, and the variety across the menu gives you a reason to try something new on repeat visits. The ordering process was quick, and the staff kept things moving even when there was a steady line. The team handled the flow efficiently, and the service remained friendly despite the volume of orders. Since it is mainly a grab-and-go spot, seating is limited, so it works better as a snack stop rather than a place to sit for a long time. The outdoor benches nearby provide a spot to enjoy the pastry while taking in the village atmosphere. BeaverTails is worth trying if you are visiting Whistler and want a dessert that is different from the usual options. The combination of fresh pastry, unique toppings, and convenient location makes it an easy stop while walking around the village. It delivers a warm, satisfying treat that feels like a classic Canadian experience, and the simplicity of the concept is what makes it work so well.
