This is the kind of spot you bring friends to because it is just as fun to watch as it is to eat. It is also very vegan friendly, with plenty of plant based options that never feel like an afterthought, making it easy for everyone to enjoy.

I will say this time there was only a bite of pistachio inside- he was having trouble putting it in - the time before was so much better. I hope it has more filling next time- the non dairy soft serve ice cream is Really good.

She too loves the milkshakes with whipped cream and a cherry. Howling Cows also sells pints of ice cream. If you visit Howling Cow in the summer expect a long line, this place is pretty popular. The students do an amazing job so the line moves quickly.

Howling Cow Dairy is a NC classic for a reason. I came for the first time recently and loved my…read moreexperience. Before stepping foot into the ice cream parlor, your first impression of the area is of a herd of cows lazing on wide open fields, and rocking chairs on a shaded porch from which customers can watch the cows as they enjoy their sweet treats. I had seen the ice cream nachos and really wanted to try them, but unfortunately due to staff shortages (NC state's graduation had just occurred), they weren't available. I instead tried their campfire delight, which is a graham cracker base with chocolate chunks and marshmallow fluff mixed in. I LOVE a good s'mores ice cream and this one was excellent. The ice cream base tasted very thoroughly of graham crackers, with a luscious and rich texture. The chunks of crunchy chocolate and wisps of smooth marshmallow provided a nice textural contrast against each other. I enjoyed every single bite, made more memorable by the view of the literal dairy cows that help to produce it. Howling Cow has amazing flavors, fair prices, and large portions. I would love to come back for the ice cream nachos!

I would get it again for sure. My friend got orange sorbet and loved it. The place was clean, the young lady was friendly and we enjoyed talking with her. I will return here!

Pricy, but comparable to similar shops. Check the mail for coupons. It's never too cold outside for ice cream in NC! I saw an ad for Scoop Dogz and decided to check it out. Even on a chilly November day, I was craving ice cream. This shop is located two doors down from Aversboro Restaurant. It's in a plaza with ample parking. The entrance is on the left and exit door on the right. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a welcoming employee. She smiled and asked if I wanted to try any of the flavors. She patiently waited as I looked through the flavors and menu options. The sundae suggestions sounded so good, particularly the ice cream and cookie dough combos. After much deliberation, I decided on two sundaes. Since they were out of some of the flavors I swapped the chocolate for peppermint and the caramel ice cream for butter pecan. The sundaes were delicious and well balanced. I especially loved the combination of edible cookie dough with ice cream. Not just small chunks but a whole scoop of cookie dough. Their flavors rotate so be sure to look at the display case rather than the printed menus. They also serve ice cream from Homeland creamery. The shop has a few seats inside along with a freezer stocked with pre-packed pints and a free to play Pac-Man game. Overall, we had a positive experience here and recommend this ice cream shop to others!

Imagine doing a u-shape walk in a small room with frames on the wall. There wasn't a production when we came, would have been sweet! Kind of didn't feel as welcoming because they all looked plain and somehow serious (maybe tired at noon-ish). Would I recommend for first-timers? Yes, if you are already in the area. I'll definitely be back in Raleigh but 50/50 if I want to bring guests there again. Also, we walked to the factory from the Capitol but there's parking around the area since there are other food spots too.
