    Visited Magic Cow and it was just okay. The ice cream was decent, but the overall experience didn't quite wow me. The place has a very old-school, country feel, which may appeal to some, but it felt a bit dated. It was also pretty warm inside during our visit, and it seemed like the AC may not have been working properly. Not a bad spot, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

    It breaks my heart that The Magic Cow might close because this shop is truly special. I walked in today and saw signs saying the owner is looking to sell the shop!! The ice cream is amazing with so many flavors to love. THE BANANA IS MY FAV. My father is a chef and banana was the only ice cream he ever made just ONCE when I was a child. Never made it again despite my constant begging over the years. Lol. Claims he doesn't remember making it. This is the only place I've ever found real banana ice cream since my dad made it. And it's not that artificial banana flavoring either!! It's the real deal made with actual bananas. One bite and it's like stepping back into the sweetest memories of my childhood. I'll just be so beside myself if the owner can't sell the magic cow and it closes. Sigh. The staff are quick, friendly, and genuinely bubbly. They allow flavor samples to decide which one you like so don't be afraid to ask. Today I went with creating my own sundae and chose cheesecake and banana ice cream. So delicious! The ringing of the cowbell and saying "moo" when you tip them may be cheesy, but it makes me smile and makes my day every time. I tip for awesome service, but the joy from the cowbell and "moo" is a bonus. The Magic Cow is quaint, fun, full of personality and pure magic. I really hope it stays open!!! My banana-loving heart and the community would be missing something sweet without it.

    For being one of the top rated ice cream places around Florida I was honestly not impressed with the ice cream at The Magic Cow. They had a nice selection of flavors and you can definitely taste that they were homemade and made with real milk but the flavors for their ice cream were very soft, you can barely barely taste the flavors, so it was very underwhelming. We got the Birthday Cake, the Cinamoo, and the Raspberry (instead of chocolate for a change) and the ice cream was just ok, the flavors didn't stand out at all, so it was a bit disappointing. For example, the Cinamoo could have definitely had more of a cinnamon flavor to it and it would have made it amazing but you could barely taste there was cinnamon there. One thing I did like, was that the ice cream was not too sweet which I actually really loved. So the ice cream was very natural and was homemade but I wish the flavors were a little stronger or stood out a little more so it would be worth going back for. Overall, I'd say skip the drive and go somewhere else...

    I have been coming to this store for probably close to a decade even when they had their original location further down university Drive. Andy and his wife have always been the most pleasant patrons and truly their ice cream you can tell is made with so much love and dedication. From the moment you walk in you immediately feel like family because of how warmly they welcome you and there are such a variety of flavors to try. Although I do not live in the area anymore every time I am in town I make sure to go visit and have a delicious ice cream! They truly are the best.

    This place is absolutely adorable! The shop feels so warm and inviting, and I loved seeing all the little cow post-it notes customers have left--it adds such a fun, personal touch. The service was fantastic, and the cheesecake ice cream was delicious.

    Treat yourself!

    Local classic! We have been coming here for a few years now, everytime we have a craving for ice cream. Service is always friendly. Weekends get very busy so expect a line outside the door until closing! Only a few small tables inside and some seating outside. We know this ice cream is the best because now even our one year old son who doesn't care for sweets had it for the first time and he ate it up!

    I had no idea this place was here and I am happy I found it. Tons of flavors to choose from. Remember to look up at the board for even more flavors not on display!! You can get anything from chocolate lovers pizza to sundaes, shakes and cakes. Oh! Did I mention toppings? Yep! They got those too.

    From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but once inside you would be surprised how good this place is. I wasn't expecting much as soon as I walked in since the place is small, but my opinion quickly changed. As soon as you walk in the place is filled with cows lol and sticky notes. I noticed a picture on yelp from two years ago and I showed it to the young gentlemen and he recreated the ice cream for me! He was so pleasant and patient and made sure I got what I wanted. We sat down to enjoy our ice cream and a gentleman named Steve started talking to us. He might be the manager because he went in back after- but he was sooooo nice. Seriously, one of the nicest people I have ever Interacted with. The place is a little run down, but the ice cream is homemade and very good. A must try!

    Moldy sponge

    This has to be one of the most disgusting places to eat ice cream from. Not only is the owner an unorganized nonchalant egotistical person but he is also irresponsible with keeping his store's cleaning area up to standards. Sponges are filled with mold, mop heads are rarely changed, cross contamination with dirty utensils , grim on the floor, The dishwasher plumbing causes a horrible smell and the worst part is the blenders are cracked and covered up with tape instead of replacing them.. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, CUSTOMERS WILL GET SICK !!!!

    Kaitlin H.

    I've been coming here for a few years now and this is the best ice cream in Florida. Andy and his crew are very nice and makes you feel like family. I can't say enough good things about The Magic Cow! My recommendation is Rocky Road but modify it with German Chocolate and cherry instead of chocolate chips.

Tried several samples until I saw they had a Dubai chocolate sundae, in which I ended up getting and it was pretty good. At my second visit, I came on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't so busy, there were 3 people behind the counter, but only 1 actually working. The other 2 didn't acknowledge me or even say "Thanks for your patience, she'll be with you shortly." But I understand it may be lack of customer service skills. When I was their age, I didn't really talk unless I was talked to lol. Turns out the other two kids were working behind the scenes preparing ice creams to film for social media. Also, they didn't have the sticky mango shake they were marketing on socials, so I'm going to assume it's only available on the weekends because the main girl working on our ice cream orders said she's working on that bad currently for tomorrow (Saturday). She didn't specify if it's only a weekend special. So I'm omitting a star for lack of communication, but the rest of the stars remain for yummy ice cream! This time, I got guava cheesecake and white macadamia -- a great combo! All in all, I'll still keep coming back to try their unique flavors. Maybe next time I'll get the 21+ flavors! FYI, it's a quaint, small place with limited parking in the plaza. If you go with friends, I recommend carpooling! And if you have a big family coming on the weekend, it's not a guarantee to get a table, nor is it a cute plaza to walk around with ice cream at hand. It truly is a grab and go situation with minimal seating.

Unfortunately, I will never know if any of it actually tastes good. I have a nut allergy, the kind that in 25 years of living and ice cream in 30+ countries has never once stopped me from ordering. I asked about a specific flavor, was told it contained no nuts, and then was promptly informed I could not order it due to my allergy. After some back and forth I was told the only flavor I could order was vanilla :( I appreciate caution around allergies, I truly do. But most establishments handle this with a standard cross-contamination warning and let the adult with the allergy make an informed decision. As someone who has worked in an ice cream shop (without a problem) it makes me question their food handling and cleanliness... I left without ordering anything. But everyone around seemed to be enjoying the $9 scoops of what I can only assume were life-changing flavors The place looks great. I hope they revisit how they handle allergy disclosures, because I genuinely wanted to love it and I'd like the chance to actually try it someday.

Keep an eye out for the charming blue-and-white stand topped with American flags, set back from the road, it's easy to miss, but worth seeking out. The Siciliano family has been serving the Miami community for decades. In October 1961, Louis Siciliano opened a sub shop at 711 NW 119th Street in Miami. Although the original location has since closed, the family legacy continues with Siciliano's Frozen Custard and the neighboring Sub Center and Siciliano's Subs, all operated by members of the Siciliano family. Don Drybread, Louis Siciliano's great-grandson, originally opened the custard stand as Uncle Tony's Frozen Custard before renaming it Siciliano's in honor of his mother's side of the family. Siciliano's specializes in frozen custard, which differs from traditional ice cream by containing egg yolks and being churned with less air. The result is a denser, richer, silkier dessert with a smooth texture. It's also served at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream, allowing you to savor its rich flavor. The custard is made fresh throughout the day, ensuring the perfect consistency every time. Custard is offered in the classic flavors of vanilla, chocolate, and a twist of both, available in cups or cones with your choice of nuts, candy, fruit, or sauce toppings. The menu also features sundaes, sorbet, milkshakes, and their signature thick Hurricanes. For something a little different, Carolyn's Creations transforms the custard into treats like cannolis, dessert tacos, and ice cream sandwiches. I ordered a medium vanilla custard topped with butterscotch and it was so satisfying. The rich, creamy custard made the perfect treat on a hot summer day. There isn't any indoor seating, but there are picnic tables next to the Sub Center, which is great spot to savor your sub or custard.
