TL;DR: 4.5 stars. Good service, convenient location and of course yummy ice cream! Banksy helps, too. I believe this is a must visit place at Park City. My wife has a serious sweet tooth and loves ice cream. She will eat ice cream indoor and outdoor no matter the season. If you go through our reviews, you'll realize we go to at least one ice cream place at every city we visit. We both went to Penn State and the Creamery ice cream set a pretty high bar for us in terms of ice cream quality. When we say the ice cream is good, trust us. Upon entering the store, it was a little confusing because it is a a cafe that you see first, with the ice cream counter on the other side. After wading through the crowds, you will find a nicely decorated area with a big cow and also 20+ selections of ice cream for you to try. The staff was attentive, giving us as many samples as we wanted (we have decision problems, don't judge) but the line was chaotic. Patrons were unsure where to lineup and where to pay. Look for their unique flavors! They're also quite generous for their serving size. Our waffle cone, kid's size served us for the entire duration of the cone. The sitting area with the cow has a lot of US Olympians memorabilia. Remember to check them out while you're enjoying your delicious ice cream! Last but not least, of course you should look for the Banksy painting on the side of their wall after you exit the store. read more

The ice cream is good but the service is terrible. I was quite shocked at how rude the workers were to customers.

We stopped in here while in Park City. The line was long but there were a lot of fun things for kids to look at. They even have magnetic cat butts. Lol. My husband got a cherry/chocolate ice cream. I know it has a cool name.. It was delicious. I got cotton candy and it was not good at all. I wish they had more options for ice cream. It was a long line to wait in for so few options. I should've gotten the strawberry cheesecake but oh well. Definitely would try it again. The staff was super friendly and seemed like snowboarder types & that seemed pretty cool. I like laid back people. read more

I just had the worst cappuccino I ever had. It was awful. They really don't understand much about making espresso drinks. The beans in the container were sweaty and the container was dirty from what looks like years of neglect. It literally tasted like an ashtray. I had to ask for a refund and go wash my mouth. read more

This gem is everything you would expect of an ice cream parlor. Cute trinkets, whimsical decor, and a solid ice cream selection. Our son loved the chocolate malt and he is quite picky, as he has been ordering them for the last 7 years! Their single scoop is huge and the chocolate monster was quite divine. The line was rather long with a few younger kids working - they probably could have been more efficient, but overall, I feel they handled the crowd well. We would definitely go back if we happened to be in the area. read more

YUM! I got the tuxedo mocha and it was delectable. I don't typically get mochas but this one hit the spot. Also right outside the building you can see artwork done by Banksy, that they've encased in a glass. It's a small coffee shop that isn't pretentious and gives you what you want - a good espresso. I would recommend! Also the location is great! Right off main street next to all the shops. read more

Full Disclosure - this review is based purely on the frozen chai and biscotti I ordered, also the service, also the lack of seating.... The Chaicicle, or frozen chai, was so bland I couldn't believe they honestly counted it as chai. It has no spice, and no real flavor at all. Also, the biscotti was delicious, but so hard it was difficult to eat. The worst part about my visit to Java Cow, was the service, the kids working the counter seemed somewhat oblivious and would ask you a question and then not bother to listen to your answer, and then subsequently ask the same question again.... I won't be back. The ice cream, on the other hand... looked bomb. I should have tried it. It may have added a star to my review. read more

The place is cute and has a nice seating area outside but something was terribly wrong with the ice cream and sorbet. It was gummy and chewy, it had chunks of ice in it and taste stale. After paying and leaving we both took a few bites and threw the rest in the trash can, it was not edible. read more

We went for icecream and it was good. Nothing to blow your socks off but it was pretty tastey and id go back. Simple. Straightforward. But man is it a weird place read more

Bought 22 Macarons. Flavor and texture was not good. The flavor tasted like pure sugar and food coloring and did not come close to flavor name. Cookie did not have right texture and consistency, as they crumbled and weren't chewy. Overly priced for quality and flavor. read more

Perfect little night cap when desiring a delicious scoop of ice cream on a cone. Reasonably priced and the kids behind the counter were attentive. I enjoyed the coffee Ice cream in a small cone. I have not tried the other places for ice cream so I can't compare. I recommend you stop in and try it. read more

Java Cow Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Park City, Utah

I love dessert and I was excited when this place came up in my Yelp search after dinner! The place is pretty interesting with half of it being a cafe that serves coffee and such and half of it an ice cream store with all sorts of knick knacks/souvenirs all throughout, all served up with a cow/winter sports decor. My wife and I tried a couple different flavors and they were all good. She was disappointed that they had run out of a banana flavored ice cream and could only give us a sample, so she ended up with the orange dream. I chose a caramel based flavor but as they were scooping it, they ended up with only about a half a cup since that flavor ran out as well, so I ended up getting a little Butterfinger crunch on top of my half scoop. The Butterfinger crunch was great but I wasn't so thrilled with the caramel one since it was so much caramel- probably due to the fact that I was being served literally from the bottom of the barrel. Great ice cream but I'm going to have to dock it a star for being out of so many flavors on a Friday night. read more

Only ice cream place I've ever been to that doesn't give out samples to customers. Went somewhere friendlier instead.

Store says they close at nine, we got there at 8:45 and we're refused service because "there were too many people in the store" you can look clearly in and see there were only 5-6 people inside, amazing to me how a business can have hours posted and then blatantly ignore them with rude and brash employees read more

very yummy icecream, just really crowded on a saturday night. i highly recommend the peach icecream and oreo!

So in love with this place. Kid you not, I once got ice cream from Java Cow 3 times in one weekend! I like to consider myself an expert ice cream eater and on my expert scale, Java Cow has the best ice cream in Utah. All made in house with a large variety of flavors. I highly recommend the honey lavender, sweet and light. But really, you can't go wrong with any of them. 4 stars, why? The people who work there can be good, but they can also be awful. They are either tentative and give you huge scoops, or they just seemed annoyed at having to be there and totally skimp you. But whatever with the people. Seriously just go for the ice cream. read more

Java Cow Coffee - I don't remember what it was, but really yummy! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Park City, Utah

So disappointed. Have come here for years but this was the last time. They have stopped samples due to "the situation". So, tell me..... when they give a sample, the employee dips a spoon in the ice cream and hands me the spoon to taste and I throw away the spoon. When they give me a cup of regular Ice cream, they dip the scooper and hand me the cup and I throw away the cup. HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT? Ridiculous. read more

Fantastic ice cream and coffee shop! My friends enjoyed their coffee immensely and ice cream was amazing. Really cute vibe, patient and nice staff (Josh kindly let us try numerous flavors with a big smile on his dial) and we all loved our choices. A must do in Park City!!! Faves were brownie, pralines and cream, salted caramel, and maple walnut, but you can't go wrong! read more

The people behind the counter were beyond nice. They were chatty and very cool. They made the whole experience better. The ice cream was very good and reasonable. There are many different flavors and you can sample before you decide. read more

Okay seriously you need to quit window shopping and stop here for some ice cream! This is hands down the best ice cream I have ever had. If you love cookies&cream ice cream as much as I do then you don't want to miss out! Yes it's a little expensive for ice cream, but it's park city so it's to be as expected. 2 scoops was about $7. read more

Ice cream was good! Just got the chocolate chip cookie dough. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary but I was very good. The line to get ice cream was extremely long, probably waited for about 35 minutes! They were also out of a lot of flavors when we went but it was near closing time. Overall it was good but nothing special, however I will most definitely be coming back read more

The eclair was great! Hope to try the ice cream another day. Very convenient right on Main St.

Grabbed coffee the last day before they closed for renovations. Had a large selection of ice cream available but tried an eclair as it came recommended. Would recommend both the eclair & coffee! read more

Loved this place on main street! Line moves fast, helpful service and delicious. I like that they have a kid size. I do wish they posted the flavors so we could all see before the rush of getting up there but will be returning! read more

Stopped by here while visiting Park City. Everyone in the family choose a different flavor and all of them were great! They had good COVID protocols in place with only allowing a certain amount of customers in the store and also good practices inside. We'll definitely return next time we're in town. read more

Pretty standard ice cream. Got vanilla ice-cream with crushed up Butterfinger pieces. If you're willing to shell out for a single scoop of ice cream (around $5 with tax I would say), then come try Java Cow. What was pretty cool though was the cafe on the other side, and if you have time to burn you can look through the variety of small items that they sell on the side. Whether it is refrigerator magnets or DVDs of the 2002 Winter Olympics. read more

I love java cow because it's quirky and cute oh and they have the best ice cream. They have tons of great ice cream flavor selections, coffee, and bakery but really I go for the ICE CREAM. read more

AMAZING strawberry and chocolate croissants. The blended coffee was also very good. I highly recommend the strawberry croissant- very unique and delicious. They have so many options of food inside, from crepes to ice cream to coffee to a selection of baked goods. read more

**4/100** Java Cow quickly became the go-to for coffee while working Sundance. Things to know: -their vanilla latte is amaze balls and they are quick to make it -their chocolate croissants are life -their breakfast sandwich was decent BUT this was when they made it to order. During the festival they have pre-made bagel sandwiches and they are hard as rocks -if you get there before the general population wakes up, you are in and out -if you fail at the above prepare yourself to stand in line. They are quick but it gets cramped Half of the shop is an ice cream parlor and the other half is a coffee house. Quick buys can be purchased on the ice cream side of the place which is convenient for rush hour. They also have a sitting area but it's kinda small and when you have twenty layers of clothes, it's best to take it to go. They also sell souvenirs and shit like sunglasses. Tres kitschy but fun and the girl behind the counter is nice so go Java Cow! read more

The ice cream was tasty, but it was close to $6 for 1 (medium?) cone + tip. In Park City everything is up-charged, so it's par for the course, but am I paying for your store's location or for your store's product? While $6 might be a fair price for a small portion of amazing ice cream, this ice cream was not so amazing as to warrant that cost, even considering the Main St., PC location. If you're staying from out of town, your options are gonna be pretty scant, so open that wallet wide, you're on vacation anyway. If you live in Utah and are heading back to the Salt Lake metro after your visit to PC, there are better ice cream places featuring more affordable prices west of the Wasatch Front. Would I come back here? Only if I came into some money and/or someone was dying of an injury in Park City and ice cream was the only cure. Java Cow's ice cream's good, but not that good. read more

Green açaí bowl was great but service ran a little slow when one worker just stopped helping finish my order. Definitely smelled clean!

the Icecream was fine but you know the guy that works there today on Tuesday night 7/12 was terrible he barely gave me a scoop for my fucking $11 Icecream I asked for 2 types of Icecream and he said that was allowed like boi what r a rule followed anyways the girl which was so nice helped the person in front of me and she also asked for 2 Types of Icecream and she gave her that she also was so nice and asked what she exactly wanted on her Icecream while my guy just put random shit on my Icecream that I could have been allergic to in conclusion the Icecream place would have had a much higher rating if this mf didn't work there. read more

Go here and get a pistachio eclair!!! They are amazing. The ice cream was pretty good as well.

I stopped in after I had lunch across the street and was excited to try some of their dairy free options. The ice cream and coffee was great, but the guy who served us ice cream acted like he would rather be anywhere else. I might come back and give it a try another t time and see if the attitude of the staff is better. read more

I think their cows drinking rum!! Although a coffe place, I asked if there was a chocolate cow? I needed a Hot chocolate! And I was treated to extra whip cream and a hot chocolate that was prepared HOT! (Unlike some like warm not so hot hot chocolates) It tasted unusually good/it had a peculiar flavor of chocolate- I asked if there was rum in it! The chocolate-Bar-Baristta said, "...no we don't make em with rum" I asked, "...are you sure?" The Chocolate-bar-barista said, "no rum, just hot chocolate!" I should have asked what kind of chocolate they use so I can order 100Lbs and ship it home! read more

It's a Sunday evening and they close at 8pm. Quite unfortunate because there are still hundreds of people on Main St.

Great place to get ice cream after a long day of skiing! Good flavors of ice cream plus they have coffee and hot cocoa and crepes! Must try when you are in Park City! read more

Holy crepe this place is fun! This was a nice afternoon pick me up. I enjoyed a savory crepe and iced tea. There is room to sit, but you can take your food to go as well. A couple picnic tables are outside, window bar seating, and a few sets of round tables available indoors. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

I've been here everyday since I got to park city for ice cream. Each flavor I've gotten has been really good. (Purple cow, cookie dough, brownie explosion). The waffle cones are made on the spot and make it that much better. Only reason I give four instead of 5 is because scoop sizes vary greatly between people. read more

Great variety of ice cream & cones! Plenty of other snacks next store too. Fairly quick service when they are busy, and very quick when slow. You can watch them make the waffle cones from scratch right in front of you. Limited seating options, but luckily ice cream is portable and works well with the walk up or down Mainstreet. read more
