Decent shop with lots of flavors. Like others have noted the icecream is nothing to write home about but it does fit the bill for your classic all American icecream shop and is a good afternoon snack. Same flavors as another shop in town, Liliuokalani's so if youre deciding between the two either works!

To be honest, the ice cream at Happy Cow was quite average. I tried the maple flavor, and it was just okay—nothing remarkable. The texture was decent, but the flavor lacked the depth and richness I was hoping for. The overall experience didn’t stand out, and given the name and expectations, I was hoping for a creamier and more flavorful treat. It’s not bad, but there are definitely better options out there if you’re looking for exceptional ice cream.

About an 11 minute drive from Gunstock Mountain Resort. Fantastic ice cream! Over a four evening span, I went three evenings. I knew it was going to be great, when I saw the line to order. They write your order down on a small white board, then in less than 60 seconds your order appears. The flavors of ice cream are plentiful. The chocolate chip was excellent but the Almond Joy was fantastic! They also have soft-serv and sundaes. Prices are very reasonable.

We went to this ice cream shop one night for dessert, which was great considering many other Ice cream places were closed for the season or for whatever reason. The staff here was nice, and we both thought our ice creams were very good. There is a display showing the various cones which included a pinecone that they were out of... They got jokes here - lol There are lots of oddly named ice cream flavors on the menu, but not to worry, the staff is knowledgeable and knows the products well. I got the Monkey Around ice cream in a waffle cone. What's in it? Good stuff... This place is recommended and there are lots of good dinner options in this area.
