I was craving ice cream one night and decided to try out Holy Cow Creamery! I'm so glad I did because I would definitely return when I come back to visit. There was a line out the door but it moved quick. The parking lot was small and crowded. I ordered a scoop of cookie butter ice cream. It was delish and so refreshing. Kinda tasted like a Biscoff cookie. read more

Stopped by for a quick dessert and loved that they had the option for a flight! Perfect for when you're indecisive like me or with a big group and want a taste of everything. We got the West 3rd Coffee (very coffee forward, tastes like an espresso bean which I love, Strawberry Cactus (my personal fav), Cookie Monster, Banana Pudding, Irish Crunch, and Cookie Butter. The staff was so friendly too! I would recommend! read more

Simple but tasty. You wont be overwhelmed by choices here. But they did have some fun flavors, I believe we got cookies and crème, salted caramel, and banana pudding. All tasty! And I like their logo shined up on the building next door! Haha The girls inside were friendly and fairly fast with keeping the line moving. read more

This ice cream is delectable and the line moves quickly! I don't know why, but the prices posted online are much higher than they actually are in the store. I believe it's $5.99 / scoop and let me tell you- the scoops are HUGE! It's located in a little strip center off Virginia dare trail with easy walking distance to a nice beach walk while enjoying this delicious treat! Lots of flavor options to choose from, too. read more

Blueberry Cheesecake was sort of bland, the Cookie Monster was good though. Very clean and the staff were nice. read more

Busy, quick, small -- which allows you to know that it was a "hole-in-the-wall that got famous so now i wouldn't really qualify it as that bc that where you go to get ice cream here. But, it was worth it. and i am not usually an ice cream girl, or really desserts for that matter, but i came and it was SOOOO GOOD!!! I Always go for cookies and cream if i get ice cream, especially if it has cookie dough bits in it and that's what it had!! now it's totally blue in color-- rightlly so to be named after "cookie monster" (tbh i totally got the reference super late but when i did i was like ohhhh duhhhhhh LOL). and usually the blue in color would have thrown me off, like ooooo that's gonna be too sweet. but it wasn't, it was perfect. i did get only 1 scoop in a bowl, and that was perfect for me. especially bc one scoop was like THREE LOL so i was like dang, how much would it have been had i gotten more? read more

I'm visiting my sister in the OBX and was told this is one of the few places that make homemade ice cream. I'll be honest, I'm a milkshake snob and this place nailed it. Perfect consistency and flavor! I ordered a salted caramel/cookie butter milkshake and I have no notes. The service was also very sweet and quick. Will be going back before I leave! You can eat whatever you want on vacation, right? read more

Unique flavors but didn't like any of them. Carrot cake was super faint same with pacha. Whereas butter pecan was too rich and tasted too much like butter it was kinda sickening. The coconut lotus pie had a faint coconut flavor but else tasted like something not coconut or lotus. I only ate half my scoop which was $6.45. It very difficult for me to not like icecream so very disappointing. Noose scoops oat meal pie flavor yesterday much better and only $4.50 scoop. I think holy cow is worth it to try the donut panini but just for icecream it's not. read more

Cute little spot to stop for a sweet treat of ice cream. They have a big variety of flavors and the establishment looks clean. They have very few outdoor seating which I noticed. Since there are so many flavors to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming especially when you are stopping by with a toddler. Unfortunately my only complaint was that I felt so rushed to order even though there was nobody behind us in line. The girl assisting our family felt so annoyed with her face gestures and kept asking if we were ready to order? Just by the service I can't give it five stars. Hopefully they better the service cause it's definitely a nice spot to stop by after a day at the beach. read more

This is a small building and the line was out in the parking lot. But the girls working were fast and efficient and the line moved quickly. I had the banana pudding ice cream it was great. My son has food allergies and when I told them the girl washed her hands and got him something from a fresh container to avoid contamination. Highly recommend trying out this fantastic little ice cream shop!!! read more

Great quality and lots of great flavors! Very nice people as well. Always make a stop here when we're in OBX!

Tiny Ice Cream Shop in a very small strip mall. Lots of flavors to choose from. Staff is very friendly however you really feel rushed if people are behind you. Most of the flavors have unusual names so it takes a few minutes to read the board. Our party tried several different flavors and a milkshake. All agreed their choices were good but not great. Prices were a little on the high side, however it is a beach town in the summer so... There is no seating inside however there are a few benches in front of the strip mall. Biggest issue is the parking lot is very small, poorly designed, and neighboring business are open late. We witnessed some very "creative" and dangerous parking by several impatient patrons. Including people parking in neighboring houses grass and driveways. Also several people just parked people in. When this happens these people go to the back of the queue. When the people in the front of the line come out they are stuck. Also because of the size of the lot of anyone parks in any location is not a lined spot it becomes extremely difficult to turn around or back out of the lot on the busy street (especially during the summer). This location is best to walk up to. Drive and park at your own risk. read more

Adorable and great ice-cream! Tried this on vacation and it made for a great treat, the whole group enjoyed it.

The line was literally all the way out the door in the parking lot. Which makes you think the ice cream is bomb. Which it WAS. my stars are for the service they aren't the most friendly crew, they rushed us and didnt even give us a chance to browse the menu for first timers. Super cute inside, just wish they had better service. read more

Holy cow was that good! We both go the banana pudding ice cream and it was really delicious! The staff was very nice too

The best ice cream around! Service is unbeatable. Multiple smiling faces eager to serve. Clean cool and bright interior. Today, I had the Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake and it may be the best thing I've had all week! It is legit that tasty y'all! Check them out! read more

Line out the door!! I had a milkshake made out of one of their daily ice creams named Irish crunch. It had an Irish cream, Heath bar and chocolate, I think. It was amazing. Really nice people working behind the counter....Happy to let you take a little sample of something before you buy. Superior ice cream and really mouth watering choices. read more

I will start by saying there was a very long line but it moved quite quickly...the service there knows how to handle the crowds! They had a variety of flavors that sounded good and I wanted to sample several but didn't want to hold up the line so I just went for a scoop of their namesake - Holy Cow. It was a vanilla ice cream with bits of Oreo and pretzel and some sea salt caramel within. I was honestly pretty underwhelmed...the vanilla ice cream itself lacked flavor and there weren't many pretzel or Oreo pieces within, plus the texture wasn't as creamy as I'd have liked. Maybe other flavors would be better but it was not worth the $6+ in my opinion. read more

Came in after dinner for some dessert. Everyone wanted some ice cream. I was pretty full from dinner and did not want anything. As I was looking at the menu I noticed the donut panini. I asked about it and the lady behind the counter said it was a warmed-up panini stuffed with ice cream. They recommended stuffed with lemon ice cream. What can I say, I ordered and it was scrumptious. I also ordered a chocolate cone in a waffle cone. The place is laid back and folks are friendly. The ambiance is very casual. I will be back for more. read more

Great, homemade ice cream! We stopped here to wait out traffic and it did not disappoint. Would return.

The ice cream was so good! We got the "Holy Cow" flavor with pretzels, oreos, and salted caramel. Very tasty! The staff was helpful and very friendly! Such a pleasant atmosphere! Highly recommend! read more

The shop is tiny and within walking distance of the beach. They had a wide variety of flavors including a fun Cookie Monster with bright blue color. I got the peanut butter Oreo - a great combo! I also appreciated the sustainability of the wooden spoons, but for practicality, I prefer plastic. :) read more

WHY IS THIS PLACE SO FRICKIN' GOOD? I love ice cream. I love this ice cream more. I can't think of another ice cream place anywhere that had these flavors and the richness. No OBX trip is complete without stopping here. My friends and I had 3 days here and I think we came here 3x. AND I'M LACTOSE INTOLERANT. So I only took a few bites each visit, of their ice cream, but they were amazing bites. They have a little bench inside and some seating outside to enjoy the treat. It's a cozy place. And service is fast and you get to try the flavors before buying. I really enjoyed stopping in here and I really recommend anyone on the fence to come!! read more

We now understand how much everyone loves this place! Came in around 5:00 (a pretty off-peak time) and were warmly greeted by staff who explained the menu. All the ice cream is house made and they offer an ice cream stuffed donut that's put on a panini press... Seemed really cool but after donuts the day before I took a pass. Went for a medium with the coffee plus the Irish cream scoops which were an absolutely perfect match! Ice cream is rich and creamy (not icy) and the flavors really pop. Can't wait to come back next year! read more

The flavor selections and the quality of their ice cream exceeded my expectations. Ended up on a completely different flavor palette than what I thought I was looking for and fully satisfied. The cheerful service warmed my heart. I was sad to not manage to go a second and third time. The sitting space may be rather limited, but comfortable. I went at a time things were not yet busy, so I was able to enjoy my ice cream in their portico-like space, on an armed chair instead of a stool and spend the time collecting my thoughts about what I'd be doing after. It all lifted my mood. read more

Great environment, great customer service and the ice cream is awesome and affordable. I love it. I'll be coming back

Absolutely delicious! Quick and efficient ordering system. Staff were very friendly and patient while we decided on what to order from their vast menu. It was very hard to pick but everything we ordered was really good! Didn't have a chance to take a picture because we gobbled down the ice cream. read more

Amazing ice cream! The lines are long but well worth it! Every flavor is out of this world and they have vegan options too.

They had a fair amount of ice cream flavors. I wish they had more toppings. They have young workers but they were really quick, kind and courteous. Will be coming back ! read more

Delicious homemade ice cream with a wide variety of fantastic flavors to choose from. The employees were incredibly friendly and genuinely happy to greet and serve us. A must-stop treat spot--we'll definitely be back! read more

Great ice cream, and a ton of flavors. Staff was fun and engaging, quick service, and free samples. Really enjoyed the cookie butter & strawberry cactus ice cream. Don't get overwhelmed by the options, just try some flavors, only downside is it's a bit expensive, $8 something for the double scoop cup. This is my favorite ice cream place I've found in the OBX so far. read more

We had to doughnut ice cream sandwich. This was a lot for one person so we ended up splitting one. The ice cream was really good. We had the coffee/espresso ice cream which was really rich. I think the fried doughnut was something fun and different, but a little heavy for me. I'll definelty be back for the ice cream. Great place, especially on a nice warm day. read more

Very kind staff and great, creamy ice cream. The banana pudding ice cream was pretty good and their holy cow flavor was great! It was around $8.50 for two scoops, but the scoops were pretty sizable. Everything said and done, the ice cream was yummy but a tad overpriced. read more

The pistachio ice cream as awesome. Quick service through the line with enough outdoor area to sit down.

Ice cream was delicious. They give you your moneys worth!! Staff was friendly and welcoming.
