After seeing the pics of giant clouds of cotton candy topping outrageous ice cream creations, we…read morecouldn't resist stopping by Fog Company for dessert during our trip - it was so fun and the elaborate ice cream concoctions were divine!! It didn't take me long to decide what I wanted bc I saw the word s'mores so it's no contest for me after that lol! I got the Gimme S'mores fog cup which has their signature creamy soft serve mixed with graham crackers and chocolate sauce, and topped with toasted marshmallow merengue and their giant cloud of fog cotton candy!! If I was a kid, I'm sure I would've eaten the entire thing haha!! It was delicious but insanely sweet as you can imagine. I could only manage a couple of nibbles on the cotton candy - it had a great flavor but is just straight sugar so I couldn't handle more lol. But the rest went down too easy and was a fun choice. My hubby wasn't feeling as childish as me and just went with a little scoop of his go-to mint chocolate chip topped with chocolate sauce - excellent flavor and texture in this one as well and the small scoop was just right. If you're not feeling the ice cream, they also offer cookies and donuts - ample choices of flavors and they looked fabulous as well. The shop is sleek and clean with benches inside and some whimsical patio seating outside to take advantage of their harbor views. Prices are reasonable given the quality and portions. Staff were very friendly. Location is excellent - right along Halifax's popular Harborwalk. Very easy to get to as a pedestrian and tourist but I imagine driving here would be a nightmare bc parking is difficult in Halifax imo and there's so much construction going on at the moment.

First time in Halifax so of course I had to go downtown and explore. Found this cute little ice…read morecream place so we decided to try it. I got a small cup of chocolate brownie ice cream but their main thing was a cotton candy dessert. Looked cool but I didn't want anything too big. The ice cream was good but not at the top of my list. That's why I took off one star. But I would definitely say to give it a try if you've never been here. Very tasty. I'm just picky.

The kiosk is on the corner of two crossing walkways and easy to find. You get the feel of the boardwalk and it feels just like a fair. All the flavors are amazing and the cones are all freshly made and crunchy. Order: - peach and raspberry - brownies The ice cream is closer to a soft serve in terms of texture and "meltiness", lick fast as it will start melting on you quick. The scoop size is about the outer circumference of your index finger and thumb, a bit small, but definitely yummy. A double scoop hit the sweet spot. Service was quick, and you can try any of the flavors before buying. The flavors change often, get your favorites while you can. Will be getting COWs anytime I'm in town. Also check out their bigger store just north of the kiosk for puny souvenirs and other COWs paraphernalia.

We didn't set out to visit COWS Cable Wharf. We had done a hop-on/hop-off tour in Halifax, Nova…read moreScotia, and decided to get a snack before heading back to the ship. As we stood in the streets of Halifax one of us mentioned ice cream and one of the other of us looked up from our phones to see COWS about 75 feet away from us. It was purely accidental, I swear. Then again, if fate deals you a good hand, you take it. This COWS location is located along the waterfront in a large, expansive area of shops and restaurants, and vendors. Inside this place is awesome. I'm going to guess there we well over 30 flavors of ice cream, each one calling my name. The names of their ice cream flavours are funny/whimsical/appropriate. Things like Lemoon lime bar, Cownadian Maple, and Cookie Moonster...you get the drift. A lot of cow-based inspiration. My ice cream of choice was Coffee...and it was SOOOO good. Then there's the merchandise. Aisles and Rows of shirts, hoodies, sweaters, socks, jackets, hats...the list goes on. So Many T-shirts with cow-related puns, and all so fun. The staff at COWS appear to enjoy their jobs and they have fun while working. And why not? It's a fun, relaxed atmosphere and you're surrounded by ice cream!

A Sweet Canadian Classic - Always a Must-Stop!…read more We make it a tradition to stop at Cow's anytime we spot one--especially out east--and the Halifax Waterfront location is no exception. This place is a true Canadian gem. The ice cream is always top-notch--super creamy, rich, and full of flavour. Plus, we love browsing the fun merch and other quirky products while we're there. Whether you're after a sweet treat or just want to soak up the fun vibes, Cow's is always worth the stop. A classic East Coast experience!

If you are downtown, this is a great place to get some treats - just no eat-in area - so be prepared to take and go.

It was one of the few places that were open; we decided to stop by. On the menu, they have great selection; regular as well as unique flavors. We ordered few types of shakes. Our kids tried a few sips and decided against trying anymore. Not really happy about our decision. By the way, it seems that they don't make the ice creams. They bring them in big jars.
