Quite sad when a business owner lets his ego do the talking. Also a shame that he then blocked the message exchange so I can't show my side of the conversation. I told him his shop was loved by many, both in the Yelp community and in the waterfront. (It is my opinion that his location, being an ice cream shop on the waterfront, is the biggest appeal, but I didn't say that in my messages.) I felt his ice cream was too sweet and as an ice cream lover, I like balance. I want to taste the sweet, the creamy, the flavors, the aromas. He responds to my review by telling me I picked the sweetest flavor. Okay. But we've had cake and caramel flavors elsewhere and they weren't this sweet. I pointed out that the entire menu has crazy sweet flavors since he claimed I chose the sweetest flavors. Again, just responding to his response. He snaps back sarcastically (as you can see in his response or my photo of his response, in case he deletes it) saying it's ice cream, so it's supposed to be sweet. And laughs. I have a sweet tooth. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE desserts and I especially love ice cream and froyo. It does not mean I'll enjoy anything that is excessively and painfully over-sweetened. It takes away from the other flavors and textures that I look for in what "I" consider to be good ice cream. That's my point. That's my opinion. Yelp...reviews for the people, BY THE PEOPLE. It's not like my negative review even put a dent in his ratings. How am I not entitled to my opinion? Chill with ego, Alexi K. You're making money regardless of lil' ol' me. read more

The ice cream is delicious but service was quite hasty and poor. The server forgot to give me my ice cream and walked away from us leaving us hanging there. We then asked what happened to my ice cream and the server said oh here I forgot to give it to you. She then proceeded to hand me the ice cream she forgot which had all melted. This is unacceptable...I was there around 6pm on Sunday July 25th. read more

Perfect way to end off the afternoon day tripping in Cold Spring, NY. They stay open pretty late compared to the other ice cream shops in town. Usually until 9:30pm. Sure, the staff are a bunch of high school kids, but when we were there they were more than friendly and helpful. C'mon people, when you were in high school making minimum wage you were a bit confused and not all that focused either. Some reviewing and giving tips on the staff need to lighten up and get over yourselves. The ice cream is terrific! It was so worth taking a walk over to this place before heading to the train station for the ride home. Seemed like 17 or so flavors made daily each day, and after sampling a bunch was torn over which ones to feast on. They were all so good! We went with cherry vanilla and salted caramel. Just wow. It's a small place with some spots to sit at inside and a few spots on the deck outside. You can also head across the street to eat it by the water for some great views. Both were just delish and super creamy! Really, the cherry vanilla is fantastic. Also, the serving size they give you is ridic and so much stuffed on a cone! Great value for the price and way worth it. After the initial sugar rush I passed out on the train ride back to the city. Oh, and they also offer an option to get a bucket sized serving. Next visit I just might have to accept that challenge....... read more

Moo Moo's Creamery - So much terrific ice cream the day we were here. Cherry Vanilla was great! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

Best Icecream in NYS. It's a little far from the city but the ride is TOTALLY WORTH it. Icecream is not expensive at all considering how generous are the SUPER BIG portions. Just like their name, LOVED how creamy their ice creams are. I had Oreo but also tried vanilla and some strawberry "something" flavor; ALL of them were delicious!! Definitely recommend this place to all the ice cream lovers out there. I can assure you wont regret coming by! Come by during summer time, there's a beautiful park on the Hudson River in front of the store, very cozy and romantic as well. High & 5 Stars! Definitely planning on coming back during Summer! read more

I went on a brutal hike yesterday. And if it wasn't for this ice cream shop, I might have not had the sugar high energy to get me to the almost tippy top of Breakneck Ridge!!! 3 of of 4 us all had a "scoop" of ice cream before making the climb. 2 of four of us decided on the "Guiness Chocolate Covered Pretzels". So 2 of us made the perfect ice cream decision. I love Guiness and I especially love the salty sweet combo in desserts. Sometimes you just need that salt to cut into the sweetness. And the chocolate covered pretzels were the perfect touch to the ice cream. I also want to point out the spot is super cute, the staff is made up of adorable teenage townies and the single scoop is absolutely gigantic and a little less than 4 bones. Don't forget to stop by here before or after hike or if you live in town! Happy Ice Cream Licking Season Everyone!! read more

The ice cream here is suuuper creamy and flavorful! So glad it's that time of year again!! Two scoops is 5.35 plus toppings is .75. It's basically a dollar on either end if you go for one less or one more. A pint is almost $7 they can get super crowded super fast. Last year they only accepted cash this year they take cards (yay). read more

A hot humid day means ice cream every day. After strolling through the quint town of Cold Springs, the need to cool down was crucial. Walked in there ready to conquer whatever I would get my hands on. It is a busy small place so prepare yourself to wait in line. There is a lot of flavors (20) to choose from. You can sample as much as you want before you choose. I had the vanilla oreo caramel. This consisted of vanilla ice creams, chunks of vanilla oreos and swirls of caramel. It was not too sweet, just right. It was also very creamy. The scoops are HUGE!!!! Unfortunately, due to the extreme weather outside, I was faced with the daunting job of shoving huge spoonfuls of ice cream in my mouth instead of savoring it. A melting disaster was at hand. Alas, once I was able to downsize my mountain, the savoring began. Great place and great people. Nothing like enjoying ice cream while watching people jet ski on the Hudson river. read more

MooMoo's has a lot of interesting flavors and a most ideal location. We couldn't actually enter the creamery, but they did have a very efficient setup with two windows to order from. You take a look at the chalkboard and shout your order to the staff member, and then they bring it over to the window. I had one scoop of vanilla Nilla Wafer in a waffle cone and they very kindly provided it upside down and in a cup. I appreciated this immensely, never having learned how to eat ice cream without winding up with half of it dripping down my arms. The ice cream was freshly made and tasty. The cone was crunchy and not hard. We headed across the street and enjoyed our ice cream with beautiful riverfront views. read more

The ice cream here is pretty good. It is right by the water and has a nice view/area to walk on a hot summer day. The line is long, but they tend to move it pretty quickly. The ice cream is made in-house which gives it a nice fresh taste. Unfortunately with COVID, they do have a very limited menu. You won't know your choices for the day until you get up to the window. Overall, a good spot to stop at for a frozen treat. read more

Great flavor and texture. I can't wait to go have some morning. The parlor help was friendly energetic and fun.

Excellent rich ice cream, tried the cashew caramel. Looking forward to coming back for more. Fast service considering the long lines read more

Excellent ice cream. Good service. Family friendly. Ambiance is wonderful. Also, plenty of things to do in the area. It would be a good trip for the family. read more

Hands down best ice cream in Hudson Valley. I love their black raspberry and dulce de leche flavors. It's my go to spot when I get visitors because the ice cream is phenomenal and the amazing views. It always impresses. Also, shout out to the waffle cones. They're never stale. read more

Great ice cream parlor not far from the river at Cold Springs. Nothing too exciting as far as their flavors go but you can't beat a good scoop of ice cream for a snack after you've walked through town on your little upstate visit. read more

Moo Moo's ice cream was very good! The only downside was, they run out of advertised flavors, so if you have your heart set on one, or several, you may be out of luck. My flavors for today: golden Oreo and chocolate Oreo. read more

I LOVE Moo Moo's. I used to frequently come here when I was working over at Hudson Highlands State Park. It's located in the town of Cold Spring, which is an uber cute town along the Hudson. The shop itself is across the street from the riverwalk and there are benches on their porch where you can enjoy your ice cream. They have a pretty size able selection of ice cream flavors and toppings. My favorite were the Dulce de Leche and Cake Batter, but I've tried almost all of their flavors and thought they were great. The employees were always very nice! They have a $10 minimum for your card, so be aware of that. read more

OMG absolutely worth the drive and the wait! Local made heavenly scoops of creamy deliciousness!

WoW!!!! Location, service and product were all exactly what I hoped for before coming here. Yes- some might say $5.99 is expensive for ice cream (3 scoops) - I think it was worth every penny. I suggest getting a combination of scoops- live a little and try two or even three at a time. From what I understand the flavors change often. Last night they had tiramisu, Shortcake, Cherry Vanilla, and another hand full of flavors that I wish I could have tried. Once you buy your ice cream you can either sit in front of the shop- or walk across the street and take in the beautiful scenery. I am looking forward to coming here more times before the summer is over. read more

Great location and delicious ice cream. Visited on a very hot Sunday afternoon and it was the perfect treat while enjoying the beautiful lake. COVID set up is ok. They have limited flavors and only serve hard ice cream (no shakes or anything fancy). My only tiny complaint is that the service could have been friendly but these are tough times. I'll be back for another ice cream and lake stroll! read more

WOW, like just WOW. Coming from upstate NY, Stewart's ice cream reigns supreme. There are many imitators, some expensive, some not, and many times they don't even compare. Usually, local ice cream places won't make their own and rely on bargain-basement bottom-of-barrel brands like Perry's, but not this time. However Moo Moo's makes their ice cream, it's unbelievable. I have never had anything like it before and I don't think I ever will. The ice cream is so rich and creamy and has a wonderful taste to it. The flavored varieties don't rely on added flavoring, sugar, or color to achieve the taste, so nothing is overly sugary or artificial-tasting. You won't find that generic fake strawberry flavoring here! After grabbing a scoop or two, you can stroll over to the gorgeous Cold Spring waterfront and soak up the sight on a bench while enjoying your ice cream. And when you're done, throw the cup away in one of the readily available public trash cans which are piled high with empty cups from Moo Moo's! I can't say anything more than you have GOT to try this for yourself! read more

Moo Moo's Creamery - Eating Ice Cream down by the river, what a view! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

An eclectic mix of ice cream flavors, but I can usually find a flavor which I like. The staff are friendly and happy to provide tastes. The store is very small and the line sometimes is out the door. It moves slowly, but that is because the employees provide good service and do not rush customers. There are clean bathrooms in the back of the store. The front porch has a few chairs, but right across the street is a beautiful park on the Hudson River. It is only a block away from the Appalachian trail, so is a good spot for hikers to get a snack. It is also just a block from the Cold Spring Metro North station. It is expensive for ice cream, but worth it. read more

Great ice cream, fun place, great service, love the variety. I drove 40 mins two weeks in a row to enjoy this great ice cream

Delicious traditional ice cream store in a small town located in upstate New York. What's there not to love? Stop in on a warm (or as I did, cold) day and enjoy a quick bite away from the hustle and bustle of New York. I don't remember the exact name of the flavor we ordered but it contained delicious chunks of chocolate and wafers (see picture for deliciousness) read more

I'm obsessed with this ice cream - I am so compelled to write a review for this place as this is the best ice cream I have ever had in my life! First, they change the ice cream flavors on a daily basis, so you could always walk in and try a new flavor. Second, they make the ice cream fresh daily, and you can taste the fresh flavor of the ice cream and the real ingredients. I ordered the Oreo big scoop and Short Bread Cookie big scoop. With both of these flavors, they made the ice cream with the real Oreos and the real Short Bread Cookie. Third, the portion size is very generous. One big scoop is about three scoops from any other ice cream shop. Four, the view is breathtaking. You can enjoy a new waterfront view with mountains while eating the best icecream in the world. read more

The rave reviews for Moo Moo's Creamery led me a bit of the way to Cold Springs to check out what the fuss is about. I had high expectations given the great Yelp reviews and the long line out the door. Unfortunately, I was let down by the merely average tasting ice cream. I sampled the chocolate almond and a scoop each of vanilla and chocolate Oreo. None of the flavors stood out to me with the rich and creamy deliciousness that I expect in great ice cream. The place itself is cute, and perfectly located with views of the Hudson River and West Point just across the way from the shop. The prices are on the high end, starting at $4.60 plus tax for a single scoop. If the ice cream tasted better, I would have felt my trip out to Cold Springs to Moo Moo's was worth it (despite the high prices), but the average product is not something I would recommend to others as an experience to go out of the way for. read more

This place had great ice cream and good jams. Loved the customer service and the vibe of the establishment!

Cool old school ice cream spot on the Hudson River waterfront. They have a ton of flavors and their portions are massive. Tried the Hazelnut and Cinnamon Apple ice cream. Both were packed with flavor and fresh. The apple ice cream had real apple chunks, love that. read more

Moo Moo's was the perfect stop after a morning hiking up Breakneck ridge close by. They have so many wonderful flavors that area all made fresh daily, and can sometimes run out so get there early for the best flavors of the day. Creamy, luscious , not overly sweet, perfection. Those are the words that come to mind. I personally recommend the waffle cone, but that's me. The line can be long but it's worth the wait, especially as a treat on a summer day after a long hike! read more

I visited this ice cream shop with friends on a hot summer day after several hours of ecploring the town. Unfortunately, I was not impressed. Moo Moo seemed more like a tourist trap then a small town gem. SERVICE When my friends and I arrived, there was a line of at least 30 people, who looked like they're not from Cold Springs. 30 tourists? Am I back in NYC? I had to do a double take. Typically a business with a ton of tourists means its not authentic as it caters to the tastes of outsiders. 20 minutes later, my friends and I were inside. I noticed that the staff was patient with all of the customers as they explained the flavors and allowed them to try them. But, due to the long line of people after me, I felt rushed and I didnt sample the flavors I was eyeing. FACILITY The shop is like any other cute ice cream shop in a suburban town. There's no seating in or outside of the eatery. So, my friends ate our ice cream at a nearby park by the water. Typically, Im cool with that because you can't beat munching on ice cream by a water front. However, the park has limited seating. So my friends and I had to sit by the side of the road to eat our ice cream. I wish there was seating in or outside of the restaurant. Then we wouldn't have to sit in the gutter. FOOD I didn't think that the ice cream was very special. They offer dozens of flavors, but most of the flavors seemed pretty ordinary. Less than a handful were unique. Some were even already run out. That's weird! Its not even close to closing time. I found that to be poor management. They should offer fewer flavors perhaps to ensure they're always in stock. read more

Perfect after hike reward. The lines are really long, but the wait is bearable. The scoops are huge. You can get two flavors in one scoop, but make sure the person hears correctly. It seems like it's mostly run by high school students. The person who was helping me wasn't listening and gave me two scoops of each flavor instead, so I had to pay more than I wanted to. I tried two flavors. The Caramel Cashew is vanilla ice cream with swirls of caramel and studded with cashew. It wasn't too sweet. I also tried the Chocolate Chunk which is chocolate ice cream with delicious chunks of cherries. This was my favorite of the two. Definitely stop by, especially after hiking Breakneck. Bring some cash. They have a $5 minimum for card. read more

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

Chocolate was great. Mint oreo just ok. This should be a harvard business school case study in inefficient operations. The same teen takes your money and scoops your ice cream. The line outside is at a standstill despite two order windows. One teen, one role. Paper sushi style order slips, make people decide before they get to the windows. But late afternoon is a great time for your 40 minute wait cause you have a great view and it is not too hot read more

I've been here once last year after hiking on the breakneck mountain trail and I've returned again this year! The ice cream is so deliciously refreshing and you really do get your money's worth here. For $3.46, you would get a one scoop of ice cream, but this scoop of ice cream is equivalent to three Baskin Robbins scoop. So for a city girl like me, this place is a real treat. I always look forward to my after hiking treat at Moo Moo's Creamery :) read more

Moo Moo's Creamery - Just your simple vanilla ice cream with sprinkles - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Cold Spring, New York

Here is why Moo Moo's has a 5-star Yelp rating with over 50+ reviews: - HUGE portions (double what you would get in the city) at fantastic price point - DELICIOUS ice cream with GENEROUS amounts of mix-ins (if relevant) - FRIENDLY service with plenty of sampling A lot of times people give 5-star reviews because everyone else is doing so, but Moo Moo's actually deserves it no question. Quite honestly there's not much to do in Cold Spring after hiking Breakneck...but Moo Moo's is quite an amazing small town gem. They don't have the most exciting flavors that the city is known to be touting nowadays (eclectic sweet savory combinations and random mix-ins), but they do the classic flavors and tastes pretty well. I knew we were in for a treat when I saw a bunch of nuts in the mix-in ice cream flavors. The service was very kind and always with a smile, and the sampling was in large portions, and they didn't skimp out on the mix-ins for the sampling at all! I sampled the coconut with chocolate almonds (which is what I got in the end) and the pistachio, and both sampling spoons contained the entire nut itself! (usually they won't give you those since they're expensive). Portions were HUGE. It came out to $3.75 which is already great pricing compared to the city, and 1 scoop was pretty much the size of what 2 scoops would be. Anyway, the ice cream itself was fantastic, and mine specifically had a bunch of entire almonds in it - absolutely love the crunchy texture in the rich, creamy ice cream, and it definitely didn't disappoint! My only gripe about this place is they should get more types of cones. I'm a huge fan of texture and additional oomph, and I think it'd be great to have chocolate covered waffle cones (and maybe topped with nuts!) read more

Moo Moo's Creamery is a local hot spot in Cold Spring. I came here during their opening time and it was packed full of people! A long line formed inside the store. They even ran out of certain flavors of ice cream because of the amount of people that came inside. When my boyfriend and I got our ice cream, we sat outside and looked at the beautiful Hudson River in front of the place. My boyfriend and I got 2 big scoops on a waffle cone. The tiramisu was good, but not great. I was debating between tiramisu and my go to flavor - mint chocolate chip, but I wanted to try something different. My boyfriend got the nilla-nilla wafer ice cream which he thought tasted great. When they say 2 big scoops, let me tell you, they give you a HUGE amount of scoops. It took me forever to finish. It's amazing how much they give for such an incredible price. I think it was about $5 each for our ice cream. read more
