Hard to believe the I have not done a review update for this store in 5 years. Our family stops here regularly, summer the most but always all year, even in the worst of winter. The staffing has changed over the years and so have some of the flavors. A few favorites have been sadly retired but there are still 8 regulars always in stock. There is still an amazing selection of new and different flavors, both seasonal and fun. The quality and serving size is still exceptional. My current favorite is Nutella and so classical smooth and blended with the sweet cream base in most flavors. The shop is always clean and when the season is prime, there are plenty of staff members to move the line forward. They are generous with tasting options and patient no matter how long a child or even adult takes to make u their mind. My husbnad sticks to his favorite Super Delicious Vanilla most of the time but occasionally tries something new. We have watched the current store manager move up from a new scoop staff over the years. It's that kind of place. All of the Sweet Cow locations are unique as they rotate flavors around. We have been known to "chase" flavors as one runs out at one stop, there could be stock at another. We re lucky to live halfway between the South Boulder store in Table Mesa and the North Boulder store in Community Plaza. We have even got to the Louisville original store when really desperate for a flavor. Next time I am there I will take newer pix than I have for a while. The still offer ice cream cakes and ice cream sandwiches, ready in a freezer for grab and go. We most often come to the south but we are also lily o hit the north when dining nearby. We do have a place to eat near here ow too. It's not ALL about ice cream but it's pretty close to that for sure. read more

Let's be honest, their ice cream is a bit expensive, but... 5 stars for this Sweet Cow! Delicious ice cream, great service, and they host events that give 40% back to the schools. I will gladly support this business!!! read more

Amazing ice cream and open late too! The staff are really friendly and helpful, the shop is clean too and smells delicious. read more

Sweet Cow - Nilla vanilla - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

If you ever find yourself in Boulder, Colorado - whether you planned it or just accidentally took the wrong exit and ended up here - make time to stop by Sweet Cow for a scoop or two of ice cream. It was 98 degrees the day I visited, which caught me off guard. I expected it to be cooler up in the mountains (FL is home), but the heat made that ice cream stop all the more enjoyable. I went with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, one of my all-time favorites, and it didn't disappoint. The real standout, though, was the pretzel cone. It costs a little extra, but it's absolutely worth it. Salty, crunchy, sturdy, and far less likely to drip on your shirt than a typical cone. Plus, it's absurdly tasty in its own right. Splurge and live a little. You'll thank me later. read more

I just spent $14 on two tiny scoops of ice cream in cups. Like literally didn't barely fill half the cup. I get it that ice cream parlors are charging more for ice cream for God sake make it at least a decent size scoop. read more

You already know that this ice cream is absolutely next level. The nerds-flavored ice cream is a particular highlight. But I want to give a shoutout to Dane, who rang us up! His kind service absolutely made our night. He was a total ray of sunshine and made our night so special. This is a wonderful establishment! read more

Sarah, Sarah Grace, Olivia and Jacob are amazing. I was having a tough day, and they chatted with me and recommended the BEST FLAVORS EVER. I consider their service to be among the best in the industry. Seriously amazing ice cream and even better people at Sweet Cow. read more

Big thanks to Dane for making our day a little bit better with his great customer service. Elsa and I appreciate you Dane! Best strawberry ice cream with rainbow sprinkles we've had all year. read more

two words. Sarah grace. excellent service, epic icecream. i traveled all the way from TN for this icecream, but Sarah grace is what made me stay. moo on! read more

Gonna keep this swift and simple just how my excellent service by June was tonight! Could not have asked for a better vibe, they left me wanting to come back again and who doesn't like great food with a great vibe? Had to write a review to show some love and credit to the hardworking staff tonight. read more

This Sweet Cow location is great! The service is good and very friendly and the shop is pretty clean. I love the location because it's in a shopping center with lots of stuff around with some restaurants around so we can get dessert after dinner. I tried the peeps flavor and the key lime pie flavor. The peeps was good and had good amounts of peeps that wasn't too sweet and gooey. The key lime pie was good but I felt like the lime flavor was too subtle. Ice cream consistency was great like always. read more

The takeaway: Thick, creamy ice cream with top-notch service - 8.6/10. What to order: * Oatmeal: big cookie chunks inside with solid sweetness * Fluffernutter: features nutter butter-esque peanut butter taste and soft marshmallow bites The Chipotle test: * I'd frequent Sweet Cow as much as Chipotle of health wasn't a concern. Tips * Fantastic service: Tell a joke or fun fact and you may receive a complimentary scoop! read more

I love ice cream, and this is as good as it gets in Boulder. Pleasant and professional customer service. Free public parking just outside the store, which is within the Table Mesa shopping center. Simple layout. Outdoor seating for better weather. Great souvenirs. Good pricing. I love their flavor options, they're unique and terrific, made right on the premises. My favorites are chocolate chocolate cookie dough and their vanilla offering. They also have vegan options. No debate here, this place rocks! read more

Appreciate that they have done a great job marketing and branding but the ridiculous prices for the ice cream scoops is just not worth it

Great ice cream super fun apparel and very efficient ordering and paying process. If you see a line don't fret they've got this! The ice cream was worth it for sure! Fudge sauce is great as are the pre made cakes and ice cream sandwiches. You can't go wrong! read more

What's not to like at Sweet Cow? The ice cream is top shelf, and the service is always friendly and helpful. They are happy to provide samples, and never seem impatient. We live nearby and go often! read more

Over the course of the summer I ate Sweet Cow three times-- and thoroughly enjoyed each of them. This is the go-to ice cream place for vegans/lactose intolerant people!!! I first ordered a vegan chocolate fudgy ice cream, but I can't remember the exact name. This was, by far, the best chocolate vegan ice cream I've ever had. So rich and creamy, and the brownie/fudgy pieces were so yummy as well. The second time, at a Sweet Cow truck, I tried chocolate peanut butter. This was my least favorite of the three but still very delicious. I am not the biggest fan of peanut butter, but the ice cream itself was again creamy and not icy like most vegan ice creams. Finally I had vegan cookies and cream, which might be my favorite ice cream ever. The Oreo chunks were big enough to add that satisfying bite, and the ice cream itself was so blended with Oreo that it almost was chocolatey. Love it!!! Wish there were Sweet Cows in LA. And prices are really great, too! read more

As usual sweet cow doesn't disappoint! This location was fairly new to me due to our usual location being in Denver, so there was some worry that it wouldn't be the same. I was dead wrong. I ordered my usual cookies and cream. It had a great amount of Oreo inside the ice cream and the double scoop was huge. Service was on point. They were friendly, talkative and overall their knowledge was well rounded on the options they offer. The place doesn't seem to get packed either during weekdays, I'm pretty sure this will change on weekends but if you want a late night snack then definitely come! read more

Very creamy, very flavorful and very good. They are light on the scoops so it seems a bit pricey for the size. Places like Cow-a-bunga ice cream are about the same price but you get double what they give you here. The facility is clean. Nice homemade ice creams and great looking ice cream cakes. Good place! read more

We wanted some Sweet Cow before the Boulder bolder. So did everyone else in Boulder. We waited in a pretty long line with my son before we were pulled out of line to 'scoop our own!' The owner walked in and asked my son if he wanted to help scoop ice cream. My son went to the back and the owner helped him make a milkshake and scooped ice cream for me. When we went to pay he said it was on the house. He was kind, personable and my son was so excited about it. We will absolutely be back and can not recommend this business enough! Ty sweet cow! You made 2 customers very happy!!! read more

Ice cream is great the service is lousy. Let me explain... My wife is gluten free (not by choice), I am not. We wanted to share a triple so we asked if they would place one of the scoops that had gluten in it, into a different cup do to allergies. We were promptly told "No we would have to charge you for a double and a single." That's an $3.00 extra charge to put a scoop in a different cup. Seriously?! Sweet Cow, this will be the last time I bring out of town friends here again. Enjoy that $3.00. Amazing the short sightedness. read more

Their ice cream is amazing, and they have a ton of options. I love coming here, even in the winter. If you love ice cream, this will be your new favorite place in Boulder. Be sure to try a cone, because a cup just isn't the same. Especially if you love cones as much as I do. read more

It was vary good, took quite a bit to come out but it taste good and they have great milkshakes, totally recommend

The ice cream is good. I wish they had smaller portions and were not so expensive. I don't believe a cone should cost over $6. And it is irritating to get asked for a 20% 25% or 30% tip to have my $6 ice cream handed to me with a smile. This has become rampant across the food industry- read more

This place is awesome! I just wish the portions were a little bigger since it's so good that it leaves you wanting more, and also since it's not cheap! Here are the flavors we tried: Sweet Cow Sweet Cream: basically like a super sweet and very creamy vanilla; so good - 9/10 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: a super solid cookie dough ice cream, just nothing special; cookie dough pieces tasted a little artificial but were nice and big with great texture - 7/10 Almond Joy: awesome with great texture from the nuts and chocolate; coconut flavor was very strong and just the tiniest bit fake, but still yummy - 8/10 Sweet Cow Cookies and Cream: the BEST cookies and cream I have ever had and one of the best overall ice creams I've ever had; I was so sad when I finished this and desperately wanted more; the base is deliciously sweet and a little chocolatey and the cookie chunks are huge - 10/10!! I would definitely go back just for the Cookies and Cream alone! I'll have to buy more though! Haha read more

Seriously my favorite ice cream of all time!!! Cookies and cream is the ultimate and the best flavor they have!!! read more

Sweet Cow - Tiny scoop vs 2 scoop sizes - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Sweet Cow is simply the best ice cream period! It's winter and we needed to celebrate. What better way than going in for homemade local ice cream? We each sampled two or three flavors. This was no bother to the young lady behind the counter. I selected cheesecake as my flavor. It was absolutely awesome. Even though the top of my cake-cone broke, and it became complicated to eat it, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. The employees were friendly, patient, and happy to answer any questions. They were relatively busy for it being a colder month day, but there wasn't a wait. This is a testament to the quality of not just the ice cream creation, but also the quality of the leadership and hiring within the company. I am grateful to have Sweet Cow as an option in my dessert repertoire. Any of their locations, or flavors for that matter, are great. I just simply chose the south Boulder one today due to proximity to my evening events. read more

Sweet Cow - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Premium hard pack ice cream, friendly counter staff, easy parking--this spot ticked all of the boxes on a recent summer night. The golden Oreo flavor sounds like something that would fall more into kid category, but the vanilla base and the cakey-pieces of cookie were surprisingly delicious. Golden Oreos should make more appearances in ice cream! The outdoor seating was a pleasant touch, even in the strip mall environment. The fun Colorado-themed merch on offer (t-shirts, stickers, etc.) would make this a good place to pick up some souvenirs if you're visiting from out of town. read more

Stopped by here for pick up during the COVID-19 social distancing, so we didn't go inside but holy cow... this place is SO good! We bought the Ozo coffee flavor which was by far the best coffee I've cream we've ever had. Then bought the key lime pie and crunch berries flavors. Seriously all of it was so good read more

Two waffle cones (worth it) with butter pecan, black berry lemonade sorbet, and mango sorbet. Everything was super delicious and the wait staff was really friendly and quick. They also do ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes in house to order!! Definitely going to be coming back. read more

MY NEW FAVORITE ICE CREAM PLACE!! Ana was very friendly and welcoming, and the ice cream flavors are not your average. Would highly recommend the lavender honey read more

Overall good. Their vegan raspberry chocolate tasted very fresh; also nice to see dairy free options. My only issue is the small serving size relative to the cost. Their flavors are kind of unique, but you'd probably get more bang for your buck getting a $4 dollar pint from the grocery store. read more

Great place to enjoy some really delicious ice cream in Boulder. Sweet Cow has other locations which I'm sure produce equally delicious ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream cakes. The long list of flavors for scoops was daunting to work my way through, but the staff was kind and allowed me to indulge on a few samples to hone in my choice. Ultimately I landed on their Peanut Butter Brownie which was spectacular for peanut butter fanatics like myself. Sweet Cow strikes me as an establishment that will make you satisfied with whatever flavor you choose. Their ice cream sandwiches and ice cream cakes looked so good I'm pretty sure I began to salivate while waiting in line. I will absolutely come back for more sweets and look forward to trying their ice cream cookies and cakes another time. read more

I live in VA, but every time I come to visit my best friend in CO we ALWAYS have to make a visit for Sweet Cow (and not just once!). Their hot fudge is the best on this planet! Plus between the 2 of us we have 4 kiddos who love all the outdoor space to play in :) read more

Sweet Cow - Chocolate Oreo with Hot Fudge - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Tasty ice cream, sometimes with surprising cake bits, and whipped-cream-heavy sundaes. The "Vanilla Latte" tastes pretty much like vanilla --- but a good vanilla. The "Lemon Poppyseed" is actually "Lemon Poppyseed Poundcake," which caught me by surprise --- but, after that, was quite pleasant. The sundaes have a nice helping of chocolate sauce, but too much whipped cream for my taste (I'd skip it entirely for myself, and ask them to go light if sharing with others.) The Table Mesa shopping center is unpleasantly strip-mall-ish, but there are some good businesses --- and no trees, but there is some awning shade over the outside tables. Definitely some quality ice cream. read more
