First time here and I am in love. Not being from Boulder, I yelped for a local ice cream shop. Sweet Cow had me at "oatmeal cookie". Not for myself but because I knew my husband would love that flavor and the uniqueness of the flavors told me this place had to be good. I was right. The shop was clean, fun, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and made excellent recommendations. Honey mint and OXO Cappuccino. I was scared to try the honey mint because I have had some weird flavor experiences with honey lately (namely in a beer) but this ice cream was BEAUTIFUL. Delicate honey flavor worked perfectly with the flavors of fresh mint. I also tried the Ozo Cappuccino. Excellent. Not an overpowering flavor of coffee, instead it was rather balanced and the ice cream had a fantastic crunch, either chocolate or espresso beans perhaps. I only had a sample size so I couldn't tell. Yes, you heard me right, I only had a sample size of these because I was in the mood for "comfort" flavors of ice cream. The two flavors above were so good that they belong on the menu of a nice restaurant. But I needed my ice cream nostalgia. I ordered the Banana Foster (because this is one of my fav desserts) and the Oreo (classic fav feel-good ice cream flavor). Both were amazing. I even felt a little buzz after the Banana with all the fresh rum. #nomnom. The Oreo was also quite good, even though I usually don't like chocolate ice cream. I would have both again, BUT I have been daydreaming about the Ozo Cappuccino and the Honey Mint for days now. I need to go back and satisfy my new craving. read more

Great order process during covid with an outside kiosk and then you wait for your ice cream. The mint cookies and cream (can't remember the exact name) was delicious! read more

Their ice cream is definitely sweet. My boyfriend and I came here while staking out for a surprise birthday. Anywhoo, I ordered the Honey vanilla on a pretzel cone and boyfriend got the cookies and cream on a waffle cone. Okay, I love honey vanilla ice cream, there's something about the taste of honey and cream which creates the perfect merriment. And I believe this place got it on point. However, what I didn't like was the pretzel cone. I think the cone is not the best choice. My boyfriend liked his waffle cone, so I think it's just the pretzel cone, something about it. It's a little too tough but it does it's job in containing the ice cream. read more

Our favorite ice cream place. Sometimes it's to sweet. My son loves their shakes with extra malt. Lemon poppy is by far the best ice cream they make next up is grand mariner with chocolate chips. Everyone loves this place so expect a wait. read more

The ozo coffee with the brownie fudge in it is the best ice cream of my life and they need to sell it daily. I once drove over an hour for that flavor and they didn't have it :( read more

I came to visit a friend who lives in Boulder, and he brought me here recently to take a look at one night, and I loved it! The shakes were amazing and I love the area around it! 10/10 recommend! read more

Nice selection of ice cream. Bananas Foster is a great one! You can taste the rum :-) Excellent customer service! read more

Delicious ice cream. Been to this place 3 times. Staff is great. Nothing more to say! Will definitely come back here with a group of friends! And would recommend it to anyone who asks "what's the best place for ice cream?". read more

Sweet Cow is more than sweet-it is inspiring. Always has such tasty flavors with some regulars in the mix. The ice cream is the perfect balance of creamy and sweet and the more extravagant flavors are simply divine. Great customer service with friendly, smiling faces who are eager to give you lots of samples before deciding on just 1 flavor. Awesome place to stop after a hike in the Boulder area or when you need a little pick me up! read more

Holy moly! This was the best ice cream! I had 3 different flavors: chocolate, cookie dough, and cookies n cream. They were sooooooo delicious. I would definitely go back! Pretty big servings too. My new favorite ice cream shop. read more

Oh sweet, sweet, Sweet Cow. How you brighten up the darkest days and bring even more joy to happy moments. There's a reason that Sweet Cow has an overall 5 star rating and why you should make it a priority to stop here if you're feeling an ice cream craving: incredible creamy flavors, crispy cones, and pure dairy bliss. Also if you like stickers, they have some awesome ones so you can show your Sweet Cow pride and also secretly advertise for them. I actually daydream about their oatmeal cookie flavored ice cream and sugar cones. If you're not into that, don't fret - they have such a wide variety of flavors and will give you as many samples as your heart desires. Friendly service, great ice cream, and awesome vibes. Check it out! read more

This place not only has the most deliciously creamy ice-cream, but they also have incredible customer service. Every time we have been into Sweet Cow, we have always had friendly service and plenty of no-pressure taste samples. I also appreciate that they have their staple flavors, but regularly introduce new and exciting flavors (that are often related to the seasons, which makes it even more fun). We went in here on Sunday night and tried their ice-cream sandwiches for the first time and WOW! It was seriously the Best Ice-Cream Sandwich of my life. I had the triple choc with vanilla and my fiancé had the choc chip with cookie dough. If you haven't been here before, you should get your ass moovin' to it! read more

Really yummy and unique flavors! The owner is incredibly kind. The first time I went to Sweet Cow, my Dad told the owner I moved to Boulder to attend CU. He gave me my favorite ice cream EVER and a free t-shirt! 10/10 would recommend read more

Ya got to try this place. Best ice cream ever, great vibe, good service and cool outside view. Malted shakes are to die for. They encourage taste testing and I might have tested them all. Go and blow the diet for a day, its worth it read more

Ice cream sooooo good, staff so nice! Great place to stop with the kids and in a great location! Highly recommended!!

Love their ice cream, but if you buy a pint, check it before you leave...they didn't fill my pint up all the way and I didn't know until the next day when I went to eat it. Come on sweet cow! read more

After a disappointing Thai food experience, Sweet Cow came to save the day. The workers were very cheerful and friendly, and let us try as many flavors as we desired. The portions are fairly large as well - I got a single scoop split into 2 flavors and it was more than enough. The consistency of the ice cream was a tiny bit too heavy/creamy for me, but hey, it's better than being icy or watery. As for the flavors, I loved cookie butter and carrot cake (a flavor I don't see often in ice cream joints). The carrot cake came with real shredded carrots and I was impressed by how well they translated the flavors into ice cream form. My friends got E.T. Phone Home (peanut butter w/ Reeses pieces) and oatmeal cookie, both of which were decadent, rich, and yummy. read more

Sweet Cow is our family's favorite ice cream spot ever! We've all got our go-to favorites and find new ones every time we go. The Moo Mobile joined our school for a back to school picnic tonight and was a huge hit. Would definitely recommend them for events you're hosting - easy to work with when booking and such great service! read more

Just amazing!!! Some of the top flavors: Apple Pie, Smore's, Cookies N cream, and Oatmeal Cookie. read more

I'll admit I was coming in with a snotty CA attitude, thinking that this place was probably going to just be mediocre. The decor/logo made me think this might be geared towards kids/families but the flavors I tried was better than a lot of "artisan" fancy ice cream shops that charge like $5+ for a single scoop. This place was ~$4.50 for a double scoop. I've gotten honey mint, espresso bean, and coffee and all of these flavors were AMAZING. I definitely recommend coming here. Service was super nice and friendly and they all seem to actually enjoy working here. There was never a wait and there was always a seat available, including some nice window counter seating.If I lived here, this would be the place I take guests to. read more

This came highly recommended and it lives up to the hype. I got sorbet and my wife got ice cream, both were great! They have limited seating but traffic seems to move through pretty well. The staff was high energy and generous with samples and recommendations. Would definitely stop here again if I'm passing through Boulder! read more

Sweet Cow is my number one recommendation for ice cream in the Boulder area. It is truly fantastic! Their scooped ice cream is THICCC (with three c's)​ and is truly a delight. Just be aware that their small-sized​ milkshake is not that small, but equally as delightful as the scooped ice cream. read more

I brought my grandkids here over the summer after picking them up from summer camp. Emmie served us and she was an absolute gem. She gave us all the best flavor recommendations, including gatorade. The kids loved the gatorade and it even replenished their electrolytes after being outside all day. She suggested butter pecan for me and let me tell you, YUM! I could swim in that ice cream. I imagine that is what heaven tastes like. I would highly recommend the North Boulder Sweet Cow to anyone looking for a tasty snack or dessert, and keep your eye out for Emmie!! read more

If you're a fan of the big Lebowski, I would suggest getting the big Lebowski from here. It's so amazing! I love ice cream and this that movie. Best combo. read more

By far the best experience we've had in an ice cream shop (which we go very often). We decided to visit Sweet Cow (thanks to Pinterest ) during our vacation in Colorado. We're from Miami so the customer service we usually receive is rushed and completely different. But the moment we walked in at Sweet Cow was completely different, the people especially a worker named Joe made us feel so welcomed and we left there in complete shock (due to everyone, even the customers being so nice). Because of this experience we started talking about moving to Boulder in the future, the location and especially the people won us over, and of course the cookies and cream ice cream. We can't wait to go back to not just Colorado but Sweet Cow. Thanks to Joe, there's nothing comparable to the Cookies and Cream ice cream and the customer service we received. read more

I flew from Michigan to visit my son, daughter-in-law and grandson, but truth be told I also came to replenish my taste buds with Sweet Cow's Dutch Chocolate ice cream. I had it for the first time last February and the experience demanded a repeat performance. But not only is the ice cream the best I've had anywhere, the store manager, Joe, is such a friendly and accommodating guy. I will be back, that's for sure. read more

Unbelievable ice cream. I thought I'd found the best ice cream ever at Salt & Straw (my local Portland haunt) but Sweet Cow is right up there at the top. Why? Well, what I love about ice cream is when the flavors are creative, stuffed with pieces and chunks of something delicious, and most of all each bite tastes like itself (not like vanilla or chocolate with something in it). The menu has just the right composition: sixteen to twenty flavors that range from basic to inventive. I ordered the Coconut Cream Pie and Oatmeal Cookie, and both were amazing. The first was full of thick slightly toasted coconut shavings, and tasted just like a homemade coconut cream pie should: slightly tropical, not too sweet. The Oatmeal Cookie was full of the sweet spice such a cookie should have, and was studded with generously sized cookie pieces. Whatever the flavor is, it IS. Unlike a lot of people, ice cream isn't my favorite dessert (that would be pie of some non-fruit kind!), so I'm fairly picky about whether or not I'll want it. But when it's exquisitely made, there's nothing I'd rather have. Only a few places are in that elite echelon, and Sweet Cow's one of them! I'm only sad it's a plane ride instead of a walk away. read more

Day-of my boyfriend's 30th, I took my man to his favorite breakfast place, Walnut Southside. On the way there, I'd ordered a Coldstone Cake to be picked up later in the afternoon. As we pulled up, I got a glimpse of Sweet Cow. This is a new addition to this area for us, and I was pumped to see it. While we were waiting for a seat at Southside, we went in. The guy working the counter was extremely nice, and well versed in what he had to sell. I sent my dude away, cancelled the Coldstone order, and the ice cream man helped me pick out the perfect cake, wrote what I wanted on it, and blast froze it for the ride home while we enjoyed breakfast nextdoor. When we came to pick it up, ice cream bro had made too much of a shake and gave us each what seemed like a massive cup of chocolate shake for the road. This place is great, the employee bent over backwards, and I wish it were closer to me. The cow is very sweet. read more

Gah Sweet Cow you rock my world! I had never been here until recently when my sister introduced me ...I think this is probably the best ice cream I've ever had...now I have yet to try the popular ice cream places in Denver so we shall see how this place holds up. I had the OZO COFFEE COOKIES N CREAM....and itt was delicious...the consistency of the ice cream was thick and creamy. I've also tried their BEAM and COKE flavor which actually has alcohol in it...it was really really good. SINGLE SCOOP: $2.95 DOUBLE SCOOP: $3.75 Other cool things: they have pretzel cones, they make their own waffle cones and their staff is friendly. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! read more

You know how Haagen Daz ice cream is really rich but it's very solid? And you know how Dairy Queen is very soft and full of air and not as rich? Well Sweet Cow takes the best of both approaches and make a fantastic treat. I tried the butter pecan and was fascinated by the amount of drag it produces on the tongue but not too much drag. It had a lot of little pecan particles mixed in with the bigger pieces that added a tweedy kind of dimension to the experience. I loved that ice cream and I think it's the best I've ever had. 2 yums up! read more

Every time I write a bad review for a local business, I have this guilty need to balance it out with a good review. First, I don't eat a lot of ice cream so when I do, it can't just be some run of the mill ice cream. Another huge reason is bc my son has nut allergies and most ice cream parlours are off limits. With one exception, Sweet Cow as they have a secret nut free menu. Of course there's disclaimers all over the place and they have tons of peanuts and all kinds of nuts in the kitchen, but they clean the equipment and make the plain flavors first. They also set the nut free tubs in a different freezer case and use separate scoopers. Do you know what it feel like to go to an ice cream shop for the first time with your 6 year old? We both shed some tears and he ate a vanilla cone and I had a margarita flavored sorbet with tequila, just the way mama likes it! read more

Jacy was the highlight of my recent trip to Sweet Cow! She made great conversation and made me feel so welcome! After a long day of traveling, her personality added so much light and a new burst of energy to my day! The ice cream was pretty great too! Highly recommend peanut butter cup! read more

Tasty ice cream. Good flavor selection , they serve up big scoops. This place was packed with customers on Monday evening. I tried strawberry chocolate Sundae with fudge. It was delicious. read more

OMG, the best icecream ever period. Their homemade icecream is so much more superior to other icecream shops in Boulder. They simply rock!! read more

One of my favorite places to get ice cream. I'm not supposed to eat it (the eggs), but I still do because it's generally worth the excruciating stomach pains...it ALWAYS is at Sweet Cow. The people who work here are always rather cheerful (but not nauseatingly) and don't get (visibly) annoyed when you try many, many flavors. Also, the waffle cones are the BEST. The whole place smells delicious like them. read more

Great place to pick up some very tasty ice cream. I use to like Glacier best but this is now my favorite. The ice cream is simply delicious and the service is fantastic. I also enjoy the choices which are many and varied yummy and interesting flavors. read more

Who doesn't love ice cream?! Sweet Cow literally has the best ice cream, doesn't matter what flavor! I REALLY wanted some ice cream because it was such a hot day so I opened my door dash app and searched dessert in hope I could get a shake or something but then I see Sweet Cow is delivering!!! I ordered a pint of coffee ice cream which was AMAZING and a pint of Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream that my roommate said was delicious! Delivery was fast and order was accurate!! THANK YOU SWEET COW!! read more

Bringing Louisville to Boulder! Delicious, natural & creative. But not quite the space out front that I'm accustomed too back in LoLa ;)

I did not find this worth the hype or price. Lots of flavors to pick from but the ice cream itself was very average.
