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

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

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

Delicious ice cream in the region. Had it after lunch last Friday. Got the cookies & cream and strawberry flavors. Very creamy and good portions. Interesting part is that you can't get the ice cream on the cone, it comes inside of a cup and the cone comes on the side! I ate the ice cream first and then ate the cone afterwards like a snack lol read more

This is short and sweet, just a quick note to say that I had a wonderful birthday experience. The ice cream is delicious, and the service is excellent! I'll definitely be back. read more

Sweet Cow - Chocolate and vanilla with pecans Mmmmmmm - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

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

The flavors are always changing. Flavors you don't see anywhere else! First time having almond joy ice cream and it was great! Nilla vanilla is vanilla ice cream with nilla wafers. Also good. I also tried the fruity pebbles, but I wish the pebbles was added as a topping instead of frozen with the ice cream (it was soggy) Would def come back when in town 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

Wow. The best ice cream ever Mint chocolate chip is the mintiest and full of large pieces of chocolate read more

Our group had an urge for root beer floats after dinner and decided to give this place a try. We ended up ordering the honey vanilla root beer float and it was such a great combo! Their ice cream was so creamy and flavorful. I loved that they used gourmet root beer for the float. Would come back again! read more

We love this business. The quality of product is always amazing. My favorite? Anything as a malt, with extra malt of course. read more

My favorite icecream in Boulder. Plus the employees are very kind and hardworking. If Sweet Cow reads this- please make Salted Caramel a full-time flavor. Thanks! read more

Very creamy delicious homemade ice cream. They have lots of interesting flavors like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Dr. Pepper, PB &J, Ozo Coffee, etc You can really taste the flavor in each ice cream--the cherry flavor of Dr Pepper, the Ozo coffee is seeped overnight using Ozo coffee cold brew (has quite a strong kick!) Highly recommend with a sugar cone! read more

This place had me at lucky charms ice cream! We also tried the oatmeal cookie, mint chip, and cookies and cream. The cookies and cram looks like it has a chocolate base, but it tastes more like the chocolate part of the cookie mixed with the ice cream. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Some of the best ice cream I have had! read more

I did not get a chance to sample any ice cream as I was completely ignored for 17 minutes! I walked into Sweet Cow today (6/6/2021) about 12:30pm and waited behind a couple as the employees were very happy to talk with them for about 10minutes. As I waited right behind them. The other unoccupied employee did not acknowledgment me for one moment. Looked right through me as if I was invisible. She proceeded to answer her cell phone and talk for a few moments and then started to walk around and help with the previous order. I did not get a hello or one moment please.....nothing! As other customers went to the front of the order line, I knew what I wanted (the vegan peanut butter scoop) I waited by the cash accepter machine with my money in hand (very obviously) and still NO acknowledgment. So, I waited another 5 minutes as the employees took the other customers orders right in front of me and continued to ignore me. I was so offended I walked out! I was very excited to have a company that offered non dairy options so I rode my bike 20 minutes to get a scoop on this hot July afternoon. I am so disappointed that the employees were so terribly rude and unprofessional, I will never waste my time or money on such disrespect! read more

This was a tasty sweet stop during our visit to Colorado University, Boulder. We dropped in during a blizzard which added some entertainment. All the flavors were wonderful and creative especially the bourbon flavored ice cream with corn flakes. My daughter had a couple there top favorites - cookies & cream was spot on but the chocolate chip cookie dough was lacking cookie dough. read more

Fun vibes, delicious treats. The staff had great energy and allowed us to try multiple samples. The cookie ice cream sandwiches are otherworldly. read more

That there is a decent ice cream cone. The flavors are robust, intense chocolate and peanut butter, luscious coffee flavor from local roaster Ozo, creamy vanilla. Portions are OK, not huge, but each extra scoop is only a buck so if you're feeling it you can go for three or four and blend some fun flavors. Woulda liked to have seen some more variety - how about some coconut or banana? But maybe they weren't on the rotation. Very friendly staff, too, which is a nice touch because shouldn't an ice cream shop be a happy place? read more

Good, not great We had a shake, a two-scoop waffle cone and a chocolate chip sammie. Everyone enjoyed it and the prices were reasonable. The thing that tipped it from 3 to 4 stars was the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff. read more

Had Sweet Cow from their truck at an event and it was delicious. My kids (and me) went back for seconds. Mint chocolate chip was really good. read more

Got the Golden Grahams flavor. Didn't like the actual golden grahams because they were really soggy and chewy, but the sweet cream base was absolutely delicious. Sometimes they will just do the sweet cream flavor so I would just go for that. read more

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

The people are so kind and the ice cream is delicious! They make homemade hot fudge and whipped cream! So yummy!!!

Wonderfully delicious ice cream shop. I'm lactose intolerant so I default in getting the vegan options. The vegan PB and chocolate ice cream was delicious. It was creamy and not coconut based or at least I couldn't taste it which was a plus for me. Friendly staff and the waffle cone was . We were in town for just 5 days and we went here for 3 days if that tells you anything. read more

Wonderful customer service. Great local ice cream place. They always have dairy-free/vegan options. Since the start of coronavirus, they have been great with online ordering and pickup. I recommend Sweet Cow to everyone I know. My favorite flavor is the Raspberry Chocolate Chip but I've ordered a variety of different flavors and I've loved them all! If you are thinking about going here, STOP reading reviews and GO! read more

Sweet Cow - Picture of the menu **Please note the menu changes on a daily basis so do not expect these flavors on the day of your visit** - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

HOLY COW I love this place. Eh em, I mean, SWEET COW I love this place. You know that hour after dinner when it is not quite time to go home ye,t and you start getting that sweet tooth that you have to satisfy with a tasty little treat?! Well this is your place! It is also everyone else's place too! Be prepared to wait in a long line. Don't worry though, it goes fast. The team here rocks at moving people through at a speedy pace. It is all hands on deck and they work in sort of an assembly line, helping several customers at once, and then moving them down the counter to pay. Excellent customer service. Everyone that works here seems to be having fun! The flavors of icecream are endless. The thing that stood out to me was all of the falvored cones. They have sugar cones, cake cones, waffle cones and even pretzel cones! If you prefer a coneless scoop, you can be boring and get it in a plastic cup. You can also mix it up and get a shake that will get you shakin with excitement when you see the whip cream tower on top! I swear it was almost touching the ceiling. You can also get a scoop between two cookies with many ice cream sandwich options. In the back they have a garage door that opens so you can sit outside, or there is plenty of room at the counter. They have little souvenirs you can buy and a tiny play area with bouncy cows. It is pretty tasty and pretty cute. If you go to dinner somewhere in Stanley Marketplace, be sure to stop here on your way out. read more

Amazing ice cream. Even better service. My server Oliver was amazing!!! He made a wicked milkshake. Almost like my memaws... and the straws are so big omg hahahahahaga read more

Get the coffee flavor as a milkshake and its even better than a starbucks frappeccino!

Fantastic!! - We've been looking for a good ice cream in town for years and this place (which is locally owed) delivers!!! We sampled quite a few flavors and all of them were absolutely delicious they apparently have up to 150 that they rotate through seasonally and I can't wait to try them all. They also let you order ahead get full pints and quarts the ice cream and their coffee flavor is made with local coffee beans and is great I love ice cream as my girlfriend and we've gone to many ice cream shops in our day and this one is certainly up in the top I'd highly recommend it. read more

Laurel took care of us tonight! She recognized we were from philly. She was so welcoming and amazing!

Ice cream sandwiches are very tasty. Line is often long but that speaks for itself. Ice cream cakes are yum too! read more

I've visited Sweet Cow on a couple of occasions, however this is the first time I decide to order something (sometimes the flavors just aren't for me). The feel/vibe of the Boulder Sweet Cow is great! For you New Englanders it reminded me a bit of J.P. Licks with the cow theme and modern feel. We enjoyed taking in a couple of samples before making my choice. I previously scooped at a Ben & Jerry's so I only tried one or two flavors so as not to be nuisance. On this occasion I split a 3 scoop wonder with my partner (it was less expensive this way @ $4.50 instead of $5.90). We went with E.T (peanut butter base with Reese's Pieces), Coconut Cream, as well as Earl Grey Cookie something or other). The E.T. was by far our favorite, and the Coconut Cream was the runner up. Overall our experience was good, the parking lot and the staff was friendly. The ice-cream wasn't terribly memorable particularly for the price (the 3 flavors, though different, seemed to meld together in our little bowl). Perhaps if I find myself in here again I'll try a few more samples before placing my order. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the strawberry, cookie dough, chocolate raspberry, and especially the coffee flavor. The tall young gentleman was very polite and helpful as well as all of the other staff we talked with. We even went back the following day and will likely go back again tonight after dinner. read more

They're super nice They have great quality ice cream And I mean, flavored like Nutella, Trix, and RedBull That's all the convincing I'd need. read more

What can I say, I heart Sweet Cow! This was my first time at the Sweet Cow in Boulder, and my second time visiting Sweet Cow in 2 weeks. As with the other locations, the ice cream is fab, the helpings are hearty and the staff are friendly and helpful! We opted for Sweet Cow in place of dinner last night and it was the best decision we made all day. I got the Cookies N' Cream (made with chocolate ice cream, I might add) and the Oatmeal Cookie - both divine!! That Oatmeal Cookie flavor has my heart. My guy LOVES all things peanut butter so he got the Chocolate Peanut Butter and the Butterfinger and he was happy as a clam. Both just so good. I love this place - Glacier can't hold a candle to Sweet Cow!! read more

The ice cream here is good but nothing to write home about. I wanted to love it but it lacks depth of flavor. Also, for people who do love it, they should have a rewards program (e.g., but 6 - 12 scoops and get the next one free). When I asked about it, the reply was "no we don't, but a lot of people ask about it." read more

The ice cream is excellent, and the service okay .. as there was a long line and many of the staff were busy doing other things, when they should have been serving. The prices were a little on the high end, but the quality is there. The bad thing was that I order quarts, and they never pack it full. Leave air pockets. That is not good. read more

This is the best place in Boulder for ice cream. Jammed this week with back to school kids. The line moves fast and the staff absolutely is terrific. Tastes are given out, tons of smiles and the best ice cream ever! Shouts out to Emily and Joe!!!!! you are so nice to our kids. We love you! Thanks for making North Boulder better. read more

The kindest staff and very tasty ice cream. Thanks! :) I need to write more to post so I'll say that I really like the oatmeal cookie ice cream and Dutch chocolate. read more
