I love the froyo here, so many options to choose from. And the toppings are so good and delicious, plus you can top with fudge or syrup as well. Its nice they support good causes for local schools in the form of charity nights, and the ol school video games are ao much fun. I like wednesdays for the no weigh deal, onll 5.55 for a bowl of yogurt, not to mention delicious ice options also. read more

Afterschool treat for the three grandkids! They've been here many times, this was Lola's first time. Same layout as most of the yogurt shops we've visited. 1. Handsanitizer 2. Pick up a bowl 3. Peruse the yogurt choice and make sure to use the tiny cups to sample the flavor you haven't tried but might be interesting 4. Fill your cup, but not too much or you won't have room for toppings Plenty of toppings for the kiddos to choose from. There is a refrigerator with bottles of water for 99 cents and ice cream choices as well. Plenty of seating and the young ladies behind the counter were quite friendly. Parking was a little tricky but we found a spot. read more

Good service. Funny I was a little deceived when I thought the front ice cream freezer was it with only eight choices ice cream. Then my friend reminded me there's a whole back of the room of yogurt choices and toppings. So many combinations. I chose the yummy coconut and double chocolate combination. Prices are really good too. The cashier was also very nice. Great place to have some good yogurt. read more

Smart Cow Yogurt Bar - Castle Rock - Yogurt stations - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

The food was sooo good! They even have lactose free ice creams like dole whip! The people working there are very kind and nice. There is a constant TV with Trivia and a pac man game that is fun. The only problem is the price. It is based on eight so I highly suggest you go on No Weight Wednesday where it's 5 dollars instead of 8-10. Overall great just a little over priced read more

The kids love this place. Load up a bowl with a few favorite flavors and then pile on the toppings. Great way to spend an hour as a family read more

Smart Cow Yogurt Bar - Castle Rock - a colorful checkered wall - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I drove thru downtown Castle Rock looking for an ice cream shop, but no luck. I went north to a small shopping center north of Founders Pkwy and saw Smart Cow. Plenty of parking. The inside was colorful with clean tables and floor. They had 8 self serve soft frozen yogurt machines with 2 flavors each + lots of various toppings. Most people were getting cups, but sugar & cake cones were available. They only $0.67/pound. Then I saw the blackboard with 8 Blue Bunny ice cream flavors. I asked the staff person and they can make shakes or malts in addition to single, double or triple scoops. I chose a chocolate/vanilla malt for only $ 7.01; It was served with a fat straw and was so thick I had to let it soften for a few minutes. Just as I was leaving a long line of parents and teenagers showed up, very easily maxing out the space. read more

After a bad experience last night at a local competitor tonight we tried Smart Cow and were not disappointed. Soft serve ice cream and yogurt with whatever toppings you choose in a fun, self serve atmosphere. The kids will love it! This establishment was clean and family friendly. Emphasis on the clean because an endless stream of people going through can make a mess but employees were readily available and constantly cleaning. Service was prompt and friendly to ring up purchase as well Also cheaper than the competitor. We will return! read more

Cute frozen yogurt shop in my home town! Loved it since I was a kid and the location is so fun they even have a garage door wall that's open during the warmer months!! read more

Wow! We were looking for gelato after lunch, and this popped up. What a GREAT place! Very large, very clean, and sunny. They have TWO sizes of bowls, as well as cones. Flavor selection was AWESOME. They have frozen yogurt, sorbet, and ice cream (not soft-serve). Some of their treats have two grams of fiber! I tried small quantities of FIVE flavors. The Espresso Latte was delicious. As were the other four, including a chocolate fudge sorbet that was not watery AT ALL. Yum. There's low-fat and (I think) at least one sugar-free option. The toppings and syrup bars have everything your heart could possibly desire. We will be back! We're just sorry that this is their only location. But maybe that's a good thing. I can't wait to go back and try the watermelon sorbet. There's strawberry lemonade sorbet, too. I stuck with coffee, cream, and chocolate this visit. read more

I am upset that I did not take a picture. But let me tell you! I will definitely be back and take pics next time. I had the red raspberry sorbet! I love sorbet and I've had it in many places during my travels but boyyyyyyy let me tell you that this sorbet by far was one of the best I've had in a long long time! The only thing I am upset about was getting the small size! I will make sure to try other stuff during the summer and update this post. But based on that sorbet, I am pretty confident to say, this place rocks! read more

Only days I go are Wednesday when I can afford it. Besides that it's way too expensive. Love the tables of chalk for my child to play with. It's a cute place for him to play and eat. read more

Bright and bustling frozen yogurt bar in Castle Rock. On nights that there are sporting events in the area they have been too busy to find a seat, and parking was also scarce. But if you can manage to go when they aren't so busy it is a nice time. The teenagers working were also friendly. read more

This is your average fill your cup with yogurt and toppings and pay your weight. Nothing different about the taste, it was good but didn't stand out from other places that are closer to home. BUT, the reason I would most DEFINITELY keep coming back over those other closer places is the ambiance! Free arcade games, chalkboard tables and a large connect 4 in the back. My kids loved it there! It's definitely a wonderful place to bring the kids for a treat and get them out the house. We went midday after a hike and was shocked that we were the only family there. More came but didn't eat inside. I wanted to keep this place a little secret but I know I wish I knew about this place sooner. There was a single man working the register and I believed he was the owner. He was very friendly and was the one who let me know the arcade games were free (otherwise I'd have never known) read more

Amazing flavors, and I am dairy free and saying this! I had 3 unique flavors to choose from, all of which were tasty! Hard to come by. Nice bright shop to eat in with chair facing out. Staff was very kind. Not our first time and won't be our last! read more

Wow!! $23 for 2 yogurt cups. And mine, unfortunately, was sugar fee (serous taste mistake - didn't realize). Also, heath bar topping was actually Reese's Pieces. And one of the zero device places that wants you to tip. Not going back there - wayyyyyyy overpriced read more

Frozen Yogurt, Ice Cream, Shakes, Floats, Gelato, Candy, Toppings Galore, and even edible Cookie Dough. What else could a growing boy want or need??? And on top of that, they donate to local schools. read more

Smart Cow Yogurt Bar - Castle Rock - Everyone has their own favorites - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

"Underwhelmed" doesn't quite do it. Let's see... - Some flavors out - The ones they had didn't suit my taste - too sweet, too artificial, machines not cold enough, flavor too weak, or some combination of the above. Also, I always taste plain/tart as a bellwether, and theirs was not good. - Needed a cleanup. - No other customers, though some were leaving as I arrived. Not usually a good sign. - NO STAFF!! I walked in, sampled for a few minutes, and NOBODY EVER APPEARED IN THE STORE. Middle of the afternoon. Even if I wanted to buy yogurt, I probably would have had to yell for help or something. Fortunately I wasn't interested in the product and didn't have to find out. read more

I visited this place about three times already over the past few months. They offer a variety of low fat, non fat or sugar free yogurts. The flavors are diverse as well. Some of my favorites are birthday cake, macadamia nut, snickers and cookies & cream. They have some fruit flavors as well. As for toppings, they offer the typical varieties that other frozen yogurt places do. You can also get your yogurt in two different size containers or a waffle cone. I feel that the smaller size is sufficient for one person. As with any other frozen yogurt places, the more you load up your bowl with toppings the pricier it gets. I stay within the $7 range give or take and I'm very satisfied with the serving size along with what I'm getting in toppings. On a cleanliness scale I feel it's average. When visiting here last night, the front trash can was overflowing and could've used changing. The female employee working the store was friendly. I was impressed that she let me know why she had to briefly step away from the cash register while ringing up my cup of yogurt. She actually had to take a waffle away from something to let it cool down. I felt that this was courteous of her. At the front of this place there is a large bay door that goes up and down to allow for an open air establishment. I've yet to see it go up yet. Also, this place is family friendly. I've seen families come and go here during each of my visits. Again, there can be extra work done on cleanliness (replace or fill napkin containers and wipe off tables, sweep floors) of establishment. This place isn't filthy but it could use some better housekeeping. Management, I hope you're paying attention here. I recommend this place if you're a local, visiting the area or passing thru and want a cool treat! I will most likely return soon. read more

This is my son and my favorite place when we want something sweet! He loads up on all of the different toppings they have. I love the coconut with the boba balls. read more

This place is awesome!! So many delicious ice cream/ yogurt flavors to choose from and amazing toppings bar... we could come here every day for a year & probably not have the same combo twice Mmmm!! The kids LOVE it. The super-friendly owner is masked up, pointing out the 'new rules' and hand sanitizer etc.. please give this independent shop a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Sunday July 23, 2023 went to Smart Cow and I had pomegranate raspberry sorbet...it is one if my favorites. Service was excellent, though the prices r a bit high for what u get I would recommend to give it a try. read more

The people are so nice! The yogurt is so yummy and the flavors are awesome!!! Love the topping variety!

Kind of a bummer here, we were excited because they appear to have everything, but on our trip they had very little. There are signs promoting gelato, but there was only one flavor when we stopped in; even more signs for the edible cookie dough, but they werent stocking it that night, and they only had 4-5 flavors of the hand scooped ice cream in stock. They are great partners with local schools, and the 2 girls working were very friendly, but being out of so many things and not stocking so many other things made this a disappointing trip to Castle Rock. read more

This review is based solely on my experience with the staff at this location and the unwillingness and true laziness of the guy that was working there. Now, I went into smart cow in search of non fat yogurt, amount of carbs and /or sugar free for myself and my mom. The labels of the froyo show "low fat" or "non fat" and that is all. So, I proceed to the cashier area and there is no one behind the register, but there is a large group of younger adults sitting right there and it appears that 2 of them are working there / on the clock. A young man looks at me waiting and turns back to his conversation with his friends. I stand there. He looks at me again, I look at him. He goes back to his convo and FINALLY realizes I am not going away and I need assistance. He is like what do you need? I say, "hi can I please see the nutritional facts for the froyos that are available?" He was like "Uh yea... oh sorry I can't find the book, but what info do you want I can just tell you." Umm, buddy, no you can't. I doubt that you have every single carb, fat and protein memorized for every froyo flavor. And he basically shrugs his shoulders and I see I'm not getting anywhere so I left and said, "you should have that readily available and I will be leaving a comment on Yelp bye." So rude and useless... definitely a huge downside to an otherwise loved froyo spot. Added April 5: In response to to the business owners response, I was very happy with how quickly the business owner responded to my issue. She was sure to let me know that she felt terrible and that this would not happen again. I appreciated that greatly and am definitely going to head back to smart cow (also, because I love smart cow Haha) read more

Best toppings and flavor selection ever! You have to try the lemon cake and their homemade cookie dough

We've been enjoying Smart Cow for a couple of years. The frozen yogurt is very refreshing and it's a great family atmosphere. I brought my 7 year old daughter and she loved it too! I tried Georgia Peach and may have found a new favorite. I also appreciate that they support local schools- a different one each month. It's a great place for a treat. read more

Every time I come here the place is dirty or just a mess. Many other yogurt places have better selection and quality. I give three stars as they have never done me wrong. Just get it and go. It is what it is. I think most customers like the place and my family does not complain about the place. Guess I am a snob when it comes to yogurt and or ice cream. I can say that I have come here enough times to have a consistently mediocre experience. Just sayin. Enjoy read more

Smart Cow is no longer the only fro-yo shop in town, but it's still my favorite. I would like to say it's because they give a portion of each Tuesday's profits to a local school, but let's face it, I'm not all that altruistic. Truth is, it's the tasty frozen yogurt flavors that keep me coming back. Pistachio, peanut butter, salted caramel... all scrumptious. There are always healthy options, so you'll feel slightly less guilty when you top them off with cookie dough, assorted candies or chocolate sauce. I personally love that Smart Cow always pairs flavors together to make some super-tasty swirls, since I can rarely pick just one favorite flavor. My favorite thing about Smart Cow is that they let you build your own cup of frozen deliciousness, and charge you by the ounce. It's perfect for when you want just a little something sweet! read more

Great place! Tart with any other flavor is my favorite. We will be back soon! Good for my husband because he is on a low fat diet.

We LOVE Smartcow!!! I've found the staff friendly, the place clean, the ice cream delicious and the trivia questions fun!!

Come here all the time, flavor names are true to taste, GREAT quality of yogurt -- thick and creamy and delicious! They also have a rewards program that isn't hard to tally up the points and score a free froyo. They also offer discounts to people who work in the schools and military --- sooo KIND! Also, I know what I'm talking about because I am a FROZEN YOGURT connoisseur! Awesome place with a nice atmosphere. read more

Several flavors out of stock at 330pm on a Friday. Not a big deal as selection was still there. Young staffers polite and busy with cleaning. Frozen yogurt was good and toppings were abundant. $8 for two dishes topped high! read more

Horrible "yogurt". More like ice milk from back in the day. Wish we could get Nuberri or similar which is still not nutritionally horrible for you but doesn't taste like frozen water with artificial flavoring. My husband and I threw ours out. Our daughter ate hers but likely only because it was covered in 6 layers of toppings. read more

Went for ice cream with my son today. Staff was nice and showed us around. Wish they had more Sunday type options that they made for you. What I made was not yummy. read more

Easily the best frozen yogurt I have ever had. And I eat a lot of frozen yogurt. Their location is kind of a pain in the butt to get to because of the parking situation if you go during a busy time of day. They have the best flavors and toppings. Their employees are always friendly and they keep everything very clean for having a sometimes messy product. If you come to castle rock you have to stop here. read more

Supposed to open at 1130. We drove over and not a person in sight or light on in the store. Not very good business practice. read more

Smart Cow Yogurt Bar - Castle Rock - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Castle Rock, Colorado

I'm not all together fond of frozen yogurt but smart cow gets it done. I don't go an awful lot because I'm an ice cream girl myself but I love how you make it yourself and only pay for the amount you want. They don't have a vast selection of toppings but hey, great yogurt. read more

i love this place! i've been coming here since before covid, when i moved here a couple years ago- and they haven't gotten any less awesome since then!!! i love that they have so many unique flavors and toppings, like the jolly rancher pieces and the popping boba- i get those every time i go, and they're always so so so so good! i hope they never switch out those toppings, lol. but just in general, too, the vibes there are great! i love the atmosphere of the building, and the staff are always really nice. the ice cream is reasonably priced, too, so that only adds to it! the only small complaint i would have is that i can't find anywhere whether they do delivery or not. i often find myself craving their ice cream while my parents are working and unable to drive me, and i can't figure out whether they do delivery! i really want to be able to enjoy their product at home, too! lastly, i wish that they would make a website confirming all of these things. i understand that they have a facebook page, and i can access that just fine, but usually facebook pages are hard to navigate and just overall a bit bothersome. i wish they had their own website, confirming things like their business hours and- like i was asking about before- whether they deliver. other than those things, though, the place is great!!! i'll be coming there as often as i can (: read more
