Bland. Blah. Enormous scoop of underwhelming. Lots of choices, but not one lived up to our expectations. Too bad.

Moo Moo's is the one and only place when you are in Cold Spring to have ice cream. The portions are unreal and great choice of flavours at any given day! Be prepared to wait but so worth the wait! read more

I visited Moo Moo's today on a day trip to Cold Spring from the city. After waiting about 10 minutes in line, I proceeded to order a scoop of good 'ole Chocolate Chip. After a minute, she tells me it's sold out (The obese man in front of me who ordered 3 massive scoops of it with hot fudge, had finished it.) I proceed to try a sample of Vanilla Chocolate-Covered Potato Chip, because it seemed like the next closest thing. Because of the line behind me and me not wanting to hold things up, I settled and ordered a scoop of chocolate-covered potato chip. I had a bite and while my boyfriend was paying, they erased and then rewrote Chocolate Chip on their Flavor board. I then asked about it and the high school-aged girl helping us was like "I guess they had more in the back. I didn't know. Oops." I then asked if I could get a scoop of that instead since according to her, it went from being sold out to in stock in a matter of 30 seconds. Another girl behind the counter was like, "But you already took a bite out of that!" And this other high school aged boy working followed with, "How are we supposed to return that?" You damage it out of stock! It's not like you're actually going to resell it! So infuriating! It's called customer service! I work in the restaurant & hospitality industry myself and have taught many employees over the years about the basics of customer service and how to give memorable experiences. The customer is already right! This girl lied to me, said it was sold out and then was was all, "Oops! Haha. I guess we had more." without even apologizing. She had clearly been misinformed and was so blatantly unaware that she didn't even try to fix the situation. To make matter worse, after I questioned to see if I could get a scoop of the Chocolate Chip instead, everyone behind the counter was stupidly just standing around going,"I don't know," "What should we do?," etc. THEN, I heard someone say, "Who's worked here the longest?" - as to get their opinion on the matter. HOW ABOUT YOU ASK A MANAGER? Or, I don't know, someone over the age of 18 who knows how to run a business?? That person must have said no because they denied me getting a scoop of what I originally wanted. I was apalled! After fighting for it a little bit, I deemed it no use and angrily left with scoop of mediocre Chocolate Covered Potato Chip. In hindsight, I suppose the girl didn't HAVE to remake me a scoop, but it's the right, decent thing to do because she, herself, was misinformed. It's like if you went to McDonald's and ordered a Coke and the worker says they are out of Coke. So you settle for Diet Coke and then 30 seconds after you get the Diet Coke, they're like, "Haha, Just kidding, we actually do have Coke." So you ask to replace your cup of Diet Coke with the newly discovered regular Coke because they were misinformed and it's what you had originally ordered in the first place and they're all, "No, Deal with it." If this business was in an actual city, they would have been eaten alive. They're only in business because they're the only ice cream shop on the water in the town of Cold Spring and they fulfilling the town's need of an ice cream parlor on the water. Most of the customers are just people in town visiting, so it's clear they care at all about customer retention. If a person wants ice cream bad enough, they'll go to the place that's most convenient. The ice cream itself was just good, I guess. Wasn't special by any means, but it doesn't matter. It's not like people come from all over to the small town of Cold Spring just to get some Moo Moo! Absolutely not. The owners clearly mark up the prices to make money, employ only teenagers because they'll work for barely nothing and most likely spend all their profits frivolously taking vacations because during a busy Sunday on a beautiful 70 degree day in September when they should be managing their business, there wasn't an adult behind the counter in sight. After reading the reviews on here, there are also many complaints involving problems with the staff. This place seriously needs to pay someone who knows how to run a business and teach all the naive kids who work there how to treat customers. I will never be coming back here again. read more

Decent ice cream with flavors that are somewhat inventive (adding vanilla wafers or cookie butter to vanilla ice cream. Of the three ladies serving ice cream, none of them wore hair nets. When scooping, they stuck their heads into the refrigerated compartment, hair swaying over the pails of ice cream. read more

Absolutely amazing. Great ice cream, great atmosphere. Tip thing is lookimg like a big hoax started by some bitter small town busy bodies. Keep up the amazing job Moo Moos Update 7/2/14: went to MooMoos today around 430ish. Had a half scoop of the Walnutella and half scoop of Coconut Chocolate almond. My gf had a scoop of Mexican chocolate with walnuts. Delicious. And what a huge surprise that the kid serving us is one that I have seen there for awhile now and he seemed pretty happy. What kind of horrible monster the owner is that his employees are always happy. Smh I wouldn't be surprised if this is all started because of something petty. Awesome place read more

I love ice cream, but don't eat it often. This place would make me change my diet. The homemade ice cream , apparently made fresh every day, was excellent. The service was good too. read more

Oh my gosh - one flavor is better than the other. I can't say enough nice things about Moo Moo's! Salted Caramel is my personal number one.

Best ice cream place in Cold Sring, NY. They are very generous with their scoops. All the flavors are delicious. You can go across the street, sit on the benches & enjoy your ice cream while viewing the Hudson River! read more

Moo Moo's Creamery - Pistachio ice cream (this is one scoop) on a sugar cone. Delicious! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

See all

I LOVE this place! Despite of the small towners misunderstanding of some tip jar and now trying to gang up on the owner to ruin this business by encouraging other people to report bad reviews here on yelp, moo moo's fb page, and other such sites. Also encouraging tourists to veer away from this place and try other spots. UPDATE: We appeared at the creamery today, had delicious ice cream and traditionally left a tip in the jar. Still a favorite of mine. Same guys working there for the past few months. There were a lot of other customers there as well. Spotted sudden incognito: I don't think your efforts made much of an impact...so much for additional allegations and assumptions, besides the targeted topic... read more

The ice cream may have been good but I just have one complaint the size of 1 SCOOP OF ICE CREAM is the biggest thing ever and I was already mostly full from the dinner I ate so I'm conclusion please one scoop means one scoop not a mountain. read more

Really YUMMY. It was so good now I want to move to Cold Spring.

Great ice cream with a view of the Hudson River. Very peaceful while I enjoy my homemade ice cream. read more

Moo Moo's Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

Yum, yum!! If only all ice cream were so delicious!! And....amazing customer service too. Do not pass up!!!

This place hands down is a secret gem on the Hudson River. There is a gazebo directly across the street which is a GREAT place to sit down and unwind while eating some freshly made ice cream. I have never had Fig ice cream before, but let me tell you, it goes BEYOND expectation. I actually have not had a flavor I didn't like. The service is quick and servings are hefty. Definitely the move to make after a hike and a great way to reward yourself for a job well done! read more

Outstanding ice cream, a genuinely friendly staff, overly generous scoops (not that anyone is complaining), reasonable prices and the perfect location. Put them all together and what do you have? Moo Moo's Creamery! The ice cream is so good that I look forward to seeing the tempting new homemade flavors posted on Facebook everyday. So far, we have tried about 10 flavors and they have all been phenomenal (we even picked up a few pints and a quart for home). It's a refreshing change to actually have ice cream that is naturally colored and flavored. It is a place to bring families together...We have had three generations enjoying the creamy and delicious treat while taking in the beautiful Hudson river views on MMC's cozy front porch. Come down and try some today, I'll probably see you there! read more

Along with probably 3737 of the other people at this place, we finished hiking breakneck and wanted to reward ourselves... Why else would we risk our lives to hike. We got the raspberry and mint chocolate chip flavor. Weird combo but I grew up on that. Scoops were huge! Price was pretty decent however....... The ice cream just melted the second we got it. I love hard ice cream so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it and I mean it's called moo moo creamery and so I actually found it to be WAYY TOOOOOO creamy. What did I expect though. I couldn't eat it as the ice cream literally turned into soup within five min.... The line moves fast though and you get a great view while "drinking" your ice cream. read more

first time, maybe will give one more chance after long hike. owner claim ice cream made everyday fresh. I have a problem with that. YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE 30 NEW FLAVORS EVRY DAY !!! generous scoops but you pay for it. had better ice cream in Beacon. read more

Imaginative flavors, the finest ingredients, awesome location and friendly owner and staff. Welcome to Moo Moo Creamery at the Cold Spring Waterfront, giving us an excuse to relax and enjoy with family and friends. read more

By far the best ice cream in Cold Spring! All of their ice-cream is homemade and fresh. Their flavor selection is huge and changes daily. Flavors are very unique and there are probably many that you've never heard of but will want to try. HUGE portions! The servers are always very friendly and helpful, and have no problem giving you a sample. Great location right on the river, where seating at the waterfront is just a short walk away. I can't wait to go back here. read more

Best icecream I've ever had. Hands down. Cute place, inexpensive prices for massive dollops of frozen deliciousness, and the ice cream has a beautiful richness to it. Got two massive scoops of vanilla and this incredible berry mix. Would absolutely come back again if I do another hike through this area, and i don't even usually eat dessert! read more

Pricing is relatively high for ice cream, but it is all homemade, so definitely worth it. The line gets very long so if you are looking for a quick treat, there are a few other places in Beacon. Would highly recommend this as the best ice cream place in Beacon though. All the workers are students, and work very hard. read more

We love Moo Moo's Creamery! Top quality, homemade ice cream in a rainbow of flavors to delight any palate. The location cannot be beat. Watching the Hudson River while enjoying the new Apple Spice flavor is so satisfying. The owner and staff could not be nicer. I hope they do very well. If word of mouth is any help, I can't stop recommending them. I hope they are able to expand and offer coffee and indoor tables someday so I can go in all weather! They also pack it in bulk to bring home:) read more

This place has the BEST ice cream I have ever tasted. Smooth, delicious and large servings. My favorite is the black raspberry, but that was a touch choice to make because all the flavors I've tried were absolutely exquisite. The setting is also great, as it's right across the street from the waterfront where you can go and sit on a bench and enjoy the scenery. To my delight, they are open well past Thanksgiving (they may have said until Christmas), so don't think that they are closed just because it's not summer. This is the one place not to miss if you are visiting Cold Spring. read more

It was recommended. I tried out the chocolate ok a waffle cone and it tastes like Baskin Robbins chocolate ice cream but lot less sugar and not as dark and rich as BR. I finished the cone and decided to try the chocolate cherry as I love Chocolate so much. It is not bad as well read more

Moo Moo's creamery was great. All homemade ice-cream right in the store, and the flavors change every day. I especially loved the fudgy peanut butter banana fluff flavor, one of the best I've ever had. Strawberry cheesecake was also very very good. Great decor inside and loved the cow on the bathroom door. Awesome location right on the Hudson River. I definitely recommend Moo Moo's!!! read more

The vanilla ice cream here is very good. It gets crowded here and you will have to wait in line. It's a bit confusing where the line is, so you may have to assert yourself through the crowd. read more

This is what I have been waiting for in Cold Spring for a long time. Homemade ice cream and incredible flavors. The owner makes the ice cream himself in the back of the store. The flavors are constantly changing and you can check out the current selection on their facebook page. Also their portions are really huge. One single scoop is easily shareable. I can't wait to go back and try one of their sundaes. I can't praise this place enough, from the friendly staff to the great location right on the water. Definitely check this place out!! read more

Great local creamery in an awesome location. All ice cream is made on-site. Sit out on the porch and enjoy your ice cream or walk across the street and park yourself on a bench with a view of the Hudson River. read more

Went here after a hike on Bear Mountain, and again after backpacking upstate. Best post-hike reward. I tried a few different flavors and they were all delicious. The scoops were huge! I got a 2 scoop cone and it was way bigger than I was expecting. I grabbed my ice cream and went out by the water to eat it. I'll definitely be back anytime I'm in the area. read more

Possibly the best ice cream I have ever had! I had the caramel cashew and I tried the Oreo and both were perfectly creamy and sweet. Portions are huge and I love that there is no charge for a waffle cone! Fantastic read more

Homemade ice cream, and it's right next to the river! I spoke to the owner, he said that he makes it himself in the back of the store. I got the 1 scoop and it was too big for me to even finish. I didn't like how there wasn't any indoor seating, and the seating outdoors was sparse. Overall though, it was a good experience. read more

If you are an ice cream lover, it just doesn't get any better than this. If you have the time during the evening, walk across the street to the river lookout. There is plenty of seating and the night view of the lit up yacht club and the Hudson will add to your enjoyment. I tried chocolate turtle and my wife had choc choc chip. Super delicious. When you leave you'll think about when you can return. Don't miss this experience. read more

Really really good creamy ice cream. Had to wait 20 mins. "1 big scoop" is probably 2 in other ice cream places. And cost 3 dollars and change. 2 downfalls were the selection of ice creams were really lame basically just chocolate, vanilla with variations and some cherry flavors. Nothing was available with nuts. The cookie dough was really good but barely had any cookie dough in it at all. I also think they should have a worker designated in making shakes only because it holds up the line when the scoopers are making shakes. Also they should have a sign outside with the flavors listed. We are waiting online for 15+ mins if we could see the flavor selection before we get into the store the line would move a lot faster. It's all about customer experience and I feel these changes would make it a perfect rating. It seems like a negative review but the ice cream is really good here. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon to pick up some ice cream, and the line was well out the door but well worth it. The flavors are tasty and the ice cream is creamy, rich, and very good value. We had the black raspberry and mocha (half a scoop of each), and I highly recommend a visit if in the area. read more

Incredibly generous portions. I found the ice cream a tad flavourless though- overly creamy.

I have been coming to moo moo's for many years and I'm glad that I have the chance to tell the yelp community how great this place is. I was a long time staff member at a Surprise Lake Camp and I tried to come to moo moos as often as I could when I had time off. Amongst surprise lake camp people, there is no better place in Cold Spring to get ice cream. The ice cream always tastes fresh and I love going in and seeing what special flavors they have. A number of years ago, I had a Guinness and chocolate covered pretzel flavor that was incredible. Also, their serving sizes are great. I always go for the 1 scoop because they let you get two flavors. I really love this place and I'm so glad to see how successful it is every time I come by. Can't recommend Moo moo's enough! read more

They have great ice cream and a fantastic location. They give big portions and have a great staff. I love sitting by the river eating their ice cream read more

This place has a lot of good reviews, but I really don't understand the hype... I've had much better.

No joke, this is good. We sampled shortbread cookie, maple bacon and rich chocolate. All were soooo good. Very busy but the line moved fast and things were pretty organized. Will be back! read more

I ve been there like 2 months ago,an amazing place among the nature and close by a lake,lover everything.
