Nutella is back and so are the cakes and the ice cream sandwiches. Seems like they are really stocking back up for the busy season. We just needed a dessert after the best pizza slice lunch in Boulder. read more

Sweet Cow - Filled takeout case. Ice cream cakes and ice cream sandwiches. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Really enjoyed the atmosphere. The workers were really friendly and I tried multiple samples without judgment. I loved the Frosted Flakes and the earl grey ice cream. However I kind of wished the Frosted Flakes were put on top after, they were pretty hard to chew in the ice cream. read more

Sweet Cow - Frosted Flakes+ earl gey - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I (20 year old girl) was blown away by this establishment. As I walked in, I felt like light was brought back into my eyes by the great, astonishing, beautiful worker named Maxi. He has the best service I had ever seen in my whole life. This worker definitely needs a raise or maybe even a prize of some kind. Who am I kidding? He is the prize. Loved the ice cream. read more

Sweet Cow is a great ice cream parlor. I ordered a sundae and an ice cream sandwich. The sundae and ice cream were remarkable. They have traditional and many unique ice cream flavors. The staff were extremely helpful and courteous. If you are in the mood for ice cream, I highly recommend Sweet Cow. read more

It's a delicious and popular creamery! What's not to like?!? Nice ice cream scooping crew and yummy flavors! They have unique blends and also sorbet and a boozy "big Lebowski" White Russian flavor. Can get in a cup, sugar or wafer cone, waffle cone, or a PRETZEL cone! Nice patio with seating out front, no interior seating (???) read more

Love, love, love this ice cream! I would adjust my schedule to visit here while in town. So good, delicious, and a great variety of flavors. The service was fast and fantastic. There were places to eat inside and outside and it was very clean inside. Some swag for sale too. read more

Lilly and her coworkers showed us patience, kindness, and professionalism. Lilly took excellent care of my boyfriend and I on our out of town visit to Boulder by being attentive to our ice cream wants despite other costumers being rude to her. She kept a smile on her face and ensured we continued to have a great experience and took great care of us. We applaud her grace and the support that her coworkers showed her during an unfortunate encounter with a difficult costumer. They are so considerate to serve dementia patients read more

Sweet Cow - Pint of oatmeal cookie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Tried Sweet Cow a couple of days ago and it was delicious! They have flavors ranging from your traditional cookies and cream to more unique flavors, such as malted milk ball. I ordered a double scoop of bananas foster and oatmeal cookie, which was generously packed into a house made waffle cone. The bananas foster tasted like caramelized bananas, and had chunks of real bananas scattered throughout the scoop. Heavenly. The oatmeal cookie tasted exactly like an oatmeal cookie. I don't know how they did it, but they nailed the cinnamon-y raisin-y flavor. Oh, and they had pieces of oatmeal cookie in there as well. If you're in the mood for some upper-echelon ice cream, Sweet Cow is the move. read more

Sweet Cow - Double Scoop (Bananas Foster and Oatmeal Cookie) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Maybe overhyped, maybe caught them on an off day. They served me the wrong ice cream, but it was just slightly off so I didn't say anything (chocolate vs chocolate peanut butter which I ordered). I was escorted about the pretzel cone but it was a big flop. I'm not sure if it tasted stale because the ice cream made it so cold and sort of chewy or if it was truly just stale. read more

Sweet Cow - Chocolate ice cream in a pretzel cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Solid ice cream place! Ordered a double with the Mint Cookies & Cream and the Bananas Foster flavors. Both were really yummy and not too heavy. I usually order fruity flavors or sorbet at ice cream places as I like lighter flavors that aren't too rich/heavy. However, I sampled the Mint Cookies & Cream and liked it! I thought the flavor was unique since you usually see Mint Chocolate Chip (which they also had) rather than Mint Cookies & Cream. Therefore, I decided to go for two dairy-based flavors and I was not disappointed. The Bananas Foster has a bit of alcohol in it which they inform you of when you order it. The mint flavor on the cookies and cream was nice and pleasant and was not too overpowering. The Bananas Foster was the right amount of sweetness for me and I enjoyed the small bits of banana swirled in. Service was nice and friendly and they have free stickers which is a fun and cute touch! read more

We stopped by this location on the way back to Colorado Springs, and it was conveniently located in a small shopping complex. We came on a Sunday so parking wasn't full. We were greeted as we walked in and noticed there's lots of different ice cream flavors they offer. They were very nice to let us sample a few because everything sounded good. I got raspberry chocolate chip & strawberry banana golden Oreo sundae. It was huge and was so good. My kiddos got their strawberry, cookies and cream, and chocolate chip cookie dough and they're kid approved. We'll definitely be back to try the other flavors. read more

Every flavor is the best of its kind. My absolute favorite is the Dutch chocolate. The bananas foster, mint chocolate chip, and cookie dough are also favorites. Really nice staff and a quick line. Not a whole lot of space to sit but there are nice benches outside, too. By far, my favorite ice cream joint. read more

Fantastic ice cream. Get the waffle cone and enjoy a very generous portion of ice cream. You might have to wait in line.

This was so cute! We were visiting from Houston and decided to give this a try. The inside is small, but there was more space outside. I don't recall seeing umbrellas, so be mindful of the if the weather isn't on your side. The ice cream is so good! I got honey vanilla, and I can't remember what else, but trust me, it was great, smooth, and creamy. Service was quick and friendly. There was a bit of a line when we arrived, but it moved swiftly. I'll definitely go back next visit. Also, you get a sticker and who dosen't love stickers! read more

I tell everyone and anyone that this is the best ice cream! I come here every time I am back in Colorado for work.

The ice cream was fantastic. I got the coffee which was colab with Ozo Coffee. What our whole family found fascinating was that the scoops were small and the staff weighed out the ice cream. Don't expect large portions here but the quality is good. I'll let you decide whether it's worth the price. read more

I tried their vegan coconut chocolate chip. It was cool. The ice cream had real coconut flakes in it, which was interesting. I'm not really that big of a coconut fan so I wouldn't order it again. The flavors do rotate so I wouldn't mind trying another flavor when in Boulder again. read more

Sweet Cow - Vegan Coconut Chocolate Chip (with real coconut flakes) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This place was amazing. The ice cream was top notch and the people were outstanding.... But this review is to spotlight one of the employees who blew me and my friends out of the water... Rue was impeccable and the service she provided was next level. She had such a Sunny and warm disposition and truly stole the night away such that my friends and I are STILL talking about her which prompted my writing this. Keep it up guys, your employees alone are worth coming back for. read more

Sweet Cow is by far my favorite ice cream in Boulder! Every time I visit, Sweet Cow is a required stop. My favorite part of Sweet Cow is the creativity of their flavors. I first visited over Halloween and they had a flavor full of multiple classic Halloween candies. I'm always excited to see what creative flavors they have when I visit, but their classic flavors are just as delicious. Ozo Coffee, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Chocolate Oreo are a few of my favorites. Sweet Cow is also some of the creamiest ice cream I have ever eaten! read more

Sweet cow has great ice cream and the service is friendly and responsive. We enjoyed their mint chocolate chip, and California fig ice cream selections. read more

It was a 20 minute long line with 3 employees moving at the pace of a snail. They took down the Golden Oreo flavor seconds before I was going in and then asked for it but they said no. I got a Oreo milkshake and it was good but they gave me whipped cream when I said that I didn't want it. Horrible customer service. read more

Ice cream and caramel sundae was delicious but we did not like their waffle cones. Too sweet and a little soft. Staff is friendly. read more

I'm from Texas so the only thing I can compare Sweet Cow is to the sound of hearing George Straight's smooth sounding voice over a guitar. It just works! While there I ordered the OZO Coffee Brownie, it could have been seasonal. However, if it's ever there, get it. It's rich n' silky and pairs perfectly with the pretzel cone! read more

I LOVED THIS PLACE. When we first walked in, it looked a little busy and we were worried it would take a while to get through the line, but the employees were so efficient! You could also tell they love what they do, everyone was cheerful and friendly. I got a golden Oreo shake and it tasted EXACTLY like a golden Oreo. And definitely don't skip on the whipped cream!! It's homemade and just the best thing ever. read more

We had a Sweet Cow ice cream truck come provide the dessert after a rehearsal dinner at The Studio. People told us that the truck was the highlight of our event. Ice cream selection was excellent, ice cream was delicious and the service was given with smile. Can't get better than that! read more

Tried it today for first time - very good. I got s'mores flavor and it was a rich dark chocolate ice cream. Nothing s'mores about it. No marshmallow, no graham crackers. For a rich dark chocolate ice cream it was great but I was looking for something with marshmallows and graham crackers, something closer to rocky road. read more

Best ice cream place in boulder and they really fill those cones full... no cheating you out of ice cream. The manager is also amazing!

This place makes me happy in ways no other ice cream shop has. The decor with disco ball and cow paraphernalia only adds to the wonderful energy inside. Friendly and helpful staff also await at the counter... and friends, then there's the ice cream. There are so many amazing flavors and you can split flavors with scoops. The triple scoop with split flavors was my jam today and I wish I remembered the name of the gal who helped me. Her enthusiasm and hospitality was absolutely wonderful. Love visiting this location whenever I'm in town! read more

*during coronavirus* There's a lot of ice cream hype in the surrounding Denver area and I was super excited to check out Sweet Cow. Location wise - this place is a 15 min walk from the Boulder downtown center with nothing in between. Being from New York City, a 15 min walk is nothing for me so we decided to park our car downtown and walk to Sweet Cow. Unfortunately we were literally walking along a suburban houses and life was pretty dead. By the time we walked back to the downtown area, we sadly already finished our ice cream. Flavor wise - I was a little disappointed with the choices. When I look for ice cream, I look for unique flavors. Sweet Cow's menu had oatmeal cookie, cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip, butter pecan, and strawberry, which are all very normal flavors I would get at Baskin Robbins. We ordered the following - which were both very well done. 1) ozo coffee - a nice deep coffee flavor. We were excited to try a local coffee joint's roast! 2) lemon poppyseed - the poppyseed flavor is very prevalent. It tasted like someone crushed an entire lemon poppyseed muffin into my ice cream - yum! Since it's during coronavirus, we ordered out front for takeaway. When ordering, the cashier asked if we would like to leave a tip for our scoopers, which is super awkward. It's loud enough for everybody around you to hear and it's not like you can say no. So you're basically forced to add a tip onto your bill otherwise you look like a jerk. I understand that it's during coronavirus and we don't want to touch the ordering screen, but that's an instant way to make your guests feel uncomfortable. It dampened our ice cream enjoyment by being forced to give tip. If you want the extra money, just raise your prices a dollar and I wouldn't have even blinked an eye. read more

Big fan of homemade ice cream and the delicious waffle cones here! Grateful they were open on a hot day in July for a quick stop!

Ruined all other ice cream for me, tbh. I'm not even an ice cream guy, but this is the spot for REAL, creamy, chewy, perfect ice cream. read more

FACT: Sweet Cow makes me happy, like REALLY happy, and I had the desired results yet again over the weekend. Does anyone leave an ice cream place in a bad mood? Not. But Sweet Cow has such terrific customer service and a good vibe that it is like guaranteed happiness. Arrived on a busy weekend evening, and the line was positive and moved quickly. Plenty of parking as they are in the Community Plaza Shopping Center, just east of Broadway in North Boulder. The Flatirons serve as an awesome view out their window, and there's a lot of seating. I appreciate that they post their available flavors in an easy-to-read manner, so you can debate your options before you wind your way to the counter. Of course, quality control taste testing is part of the process, and on this night, it was one of those tough calls. Careful research of their 24 flavors (offered daily) and came to a conclusion to have Cookies and Cream along with Chocolate Chocolate Chip, and that's only $4! Debated one of their awesome milk shakes (wondering why they call one "The Jake"), that'll be next time! Cannot say enough positive things about staffer Cassee, who was so nice so positive, friendly, and helpful. I've been to both Boulder locations (the other is in the Table Mesa Center), and they're equally good. It's a terrific place to recalibrate and enjoy one of life's fun better treats! read more

Wow. The prices were insane for the amount of ice cream you get. The girl who helped us was friendly. Flavors were unique and tasted good but nothing crazy. Don't think we'd return when there's a lot of other local ice cream shops at a better price point. read more

Some of the best ice cream I have ever had. Very refreshing, lots of choices. I got the cookie chocolate ice cream in a sugar cone, very different from a lot of the cookie flavors I have had at other ice cream places. My favorite though was my brothers Gatorade slushie. I'm not a big fan of Gatorade but I was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing drink. All the staff was really nice and answered all of my questions so this is my favorite pick for ice cream in Colorado. read more

The ice cream and shakes are always delicious. The service is unreasonably slow, however. Been occasionally going to SC in north Boulder since they opened and no matter if they're busy or slow it's going to be at least a 15 minute wait for some reason. Today I got just a one scoop cone and there was no line but I waited over 20 minutes. After watching a few people who ordered after me get their orders I went up and asked. It had been sitting next to the window the whole time--and it wasn't like I had been wandering around, they just forgot who it belonged to. It was half melted but I don't like waste so I took it. While waiting I observed three orders they got wrong entirely. I've worked food service and customer service jobs so I know how it is--but this is ice cream! It's not complicated! I think the staff are either chronically stoned or just not terribly bright, or both, lol. read more

I am by no means a "sweets" person, however I find myself craving Sweet Cow ice cream which is a good indication that this ice cream is GOOD!! The butter pecan is outstanding--creamy with generous amounts of perfectly sized pecans. I would highly recommend trying this if you're a butter pecan fan. In terms of Boulder locations, we prefer the north Broadway store. It has a nice welcoming feel with a super friendly staff, the portions are generous no matter what size you order, and has a nice seating area inside and out. I would HIGHLY recommend Sweet Cow to anyone looking for the best ice cream in Boulder! OH!... and give their shakes/malts a try too! You will not be disappointed! read more
