So, I already left a five star review for our regular love of Humble Cow... and then we ordered one of their holiday ice cream pies. We got the tart cherry cheesecake, and I'm pretty sure it was made by angels and sprinkled with pixie dust! It tastes like the sour cherries I used to pick in the cherry orchards of upstate New York when I was a kid! You know when you get something delicious and all conversation stops? Yep, that happened. Absolutely 10/10. Plus pickup was a breeze - everyone is always so kind! The email reminder for my pickup date was much appreciated too. :) No photo. It's already gone. read more

I had been meaning to try Humble Cow for a while after a friend recommended it to me, especially since I was craving ice cream today, so I stopped by in the afternoon around 3pm. I ordered a single scoop of the coconut cream in a waffle cone. At first glance, the scoop looked a little small, but it actually ended up being a satisfying portion. Pricing also felt pretty fair; it's around $5 for a single scoop of ice cream, which isn't bad nowadays (considering the economy), and the waffle cone was only a little extra. They also offer some dairy-free flavors, which is perfect for those who are lactose intolerant, like myself (I still ignored my better judgment and went for the coconut cream anyway LOL). For my kiddo, I ordered a root beer float with a single scoop of cookies and cream ice cream shortly before I had to go pick him up from school, and he really enjoyed it as an after-school treat. While sitting inside, I noticed how surprisingly busy this place gets for an ice cream shop. The seating setup was nice too, especially the little single-seat table that worked perfectly for someone visiting alone like me. They also have a filtered water station available for customers, which I thought was pretty nice since I was thirsty after finishing my ice cream, along with an outdoor seating area if you'd rather sit outside. Unfortunately, the outside patio area doesn't really catch much sunlight, so if you're hoping to sit in the sun, the best spot is probably near the front entrance instead. The shop itself was also very clean. Whenever there was downtime, the staff stayed busy cleaning windows, making waffle cones, or working in the back. As for the ice cream itself, I thought it was good. The coconut cream almost had a slightly sherbet-like texture to it, but I actually didn't mind. The flavor selection had enough variety, and it looks like they rotate limited-time flavors as well. None of the seasonal ones stood out to me this visit, but I'd probably be interested in coming back around fall. I do wish they had more consistently available unique flavors though (things like matcha, taro, or Thai tea would be amazing). The only thing that kept this from being a 5-star experience for me was the customer service. It wasn't rude, just very flat and straightforward. From observing all the interactions, the staff was noticeably more energetic and cheerful whenever families or kids walked in. Meanwhile, interacting with me felt a little dismissive in comparison. Not a huge deal, but it was blatantly obvious, and I felt a little uncomfortable. Still, the ice cream was tasty, affordable, and the atmosphere was pleasant enough that I could see myself stopping by again someday. read more

Can't get enough of this place! I don't usually post second reviews, but this time i had to because the workers are always so sweet, helpful, and patient as I try out new limited edition flavors. If you stop by anytime soon and find Lemon Blueberry Swirl on the menu, this is your chance to give it a try, perfect spring flavor! As always the vibes are welcoming and it's always so clean and brings a smile to some of Washington's gloomy weather. read more

There aren't a ton of icecream options but we came in the fall and the seasonal sweet AMAZING. It's really hard for me to find ice cream that isn't too sweet but still satisfies the sweet treat desire. We got a scoop of the chumpkin (chai and pumpkin) and a scoop of the apple pie. They were both amazing and the sweet worker gave such big scoops. The inside is very "ice cream" coded, it's a cute place to sit inside but we took our ice cream on the road. read more

genuinely an underrated place that I am so shocked that I have not yet tried until a little over a year later in Lacey, Washington. Probably the best spot to go to in this plaza square. I have been everywhere else, but here! Definitely worth the visit because pricing is not tooo bad. I spent $6 (no tax or tip included yet) on the one ice cream sundae order, but I wish that they let me know that I can combine two flavors for this one at the same price. Nonetheless, great portion size for the price and came with whipped cream / nuts / chocolate syrup toppings. Limited flavors, but classic ones! I wish that there were more limited or unique flavors like you see in other ice cream shops. Waffle chips were a bit pricey at $1.25, but eh...same price as if you were to get the waffle cone. Cute decorations from Valentine's Day that reminded me of an elementary school classroom. It was nostalgic, so it brought me much comfort. Not much seating availability, but enough for those who are coming around post-dinner time. I will say that I appreciated the watchful and kindhearted staff members. They asked how we were doing and what we were looking forward to...great icebreaker questions to make us feel welcome! read more

This is the hot new place with cool new products in Lacey! Open for only a few months, my daughter and I decided to give 'Humble' a try, and we were not disappointed. Mint Chocolate Chip is my jam, but Humble instead has Mint Cookie Chip. No worries about a thing, as their ice cream is probably the best ice cream shop I've ever had. Almost a gelato in smoothness, my single scoop in a waffle cone always has ice cream to the bottom of the cone. I admit, I appreciate that! Small shop with a few tables inside, so when the crowds come, it gets tight. Fortunately, they opened up a patio section with lots of extra seats outside. Very cozy, even on colder evenings because of their mobile heaters. A little on the expensive side, but the service has been fantastic. I highly recommend Humble Cow! read more

If you want the creamiest, most delicious ice cream served in a dish or a crispy, sweet waffle cone, then his is your place. I've tried several of their flavors and each one was delicious. Most recently I had the banana pudding and creamsicle and loved them both. The servers are friendly & efficient and they don't mind letting you sample as many flavors as you wish! The store is clean, cute and nicely decorated, so head on over and try some yummy ice cream. read more

Food Variety of ice cream flavors, I picked Mango Sorbet, and it was okay. I had better. Service Professional staff serving with a smile. Ambiance Clean, lots of people due to grand opening. First 100 customers receive a free reusable cup. With lid and straw with their logo on it. I got mine! Did you get yours? read more

Outstanding! As a "serious celiac" who is affected by gluten cross contamination this place is a dessert godsend! They have delicious gluten free waffle cones. And many many flavors of small batch local made ice cream that are clearly marked gluten free. I had the banana covered chocolate and salted caramel and am still in tastebud heaven, with no after reactions! Love this place and will be back! read more

Great fresh Ice cream with the best flavors ! Simple ingredients ...love this place and there holiday flavors

I am lactose intolerant AND picky with non-dairy ice creams. I prefer non-dairy ice creams over sorbets. Humble cow has one of the BEST tasting non-dairy ice cream flavors and there is an actual list/section of non-dairy flavors, which feels very inclusive for those who can't do dairy like myself. I go to Lacey location often as I live 6 min away (so dangerous). My favorite is the non-dairy strawberry and Rocky road ice cream (on the left). Staff are always so kind and friendly each time I visit so that is a plus! read more

Cute atmosphere and so clean. The ice cream is so delicious and so many choices. Enjoyed a 1 scoop cone and will go back again. Friendly and quick service. read more

I love this spot! My favorite is the coconut cream and the roasted coconut with dark chocolate (this one is dairy free) and it's so unbeliay creamy and delicious!!! It's a nice spot to sit down and hang out with friends, they also have a water station too! I wish there were some board games and stuff for us to play while hanging out here, but it's already a great ice cream spot! read more

Their ice cream is always so fresh every time. This is the only place I go now when I want ice cream.

Decent ice cream shop. Not something I'd go out of my way for, but I was not disappointed.

Strawberry ice cream on the cake cone was fabulous. Service was great with friendly staff. This is a good addition to the region.

Very clean, outstanding service. Limited flavors. The dairy free selections we sampled tasted strongly of coconut, definitely not for me. The regular dairy based flavors are limited and unimaginative. I must say that I was baffled why they specialize in nondairy and gluten free "ice cream" when there's a cow right in their name. Pricey, too. read more

The ice cream here is so good and the restaurant is very cute. Service is pretty good, especially considering they have kids running the front of the store. The only slight eh for me was the sweet smell can get really overpowering when they're making the cones, but there isn't a whole lot that can be done about that. Overall a fantastic addition to Lacey! read more

Really tasty ice cream. Fresh and well made with good cones (sugar, cake, and waffle cones all offered). The two workers were polite and helpful, even though we both knew what we wanted to get immediately. Nicely decorated and very clean. We got a double scoop of birthday party in a waffle cone, and a mini-flight of six scoops. Coffee Latte, Strawberry, and Salty Caramel were my personal favorites. Cookies and cream, cookie dough, and rocky road were also good. Would definitely go again. read more

Disclosure: I'm really not a huge ice cream eater. But Humble Cow is making a convert of me. I've been back 4 or 5 times now. The ice cream is so flavorful -- tastes like they hand-make it fresh every morning. Many flavors to choose from. I also like that they feature gluten free, and even dairy free, selections for people with those particular needs. The employees are helpful. The restaurant is pristine-clean. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and orders to go. A great all-around place! read more
