    Now this was delicious ice cream! Omg... im glad i got a pint to bring home. We got a flight to try a few flavors and none of them disappointed. The cereal milk was definitely a 10/10 replica of frosted flakes cereal milk. Delicious. The blueberry goat cheese, DELICIOUS!! It wasn't too tart but had an amazing balance of flavors. One of my favorites HAD TO BE the brown buttered pecan. Wow!! 1000000/10!!! Wait, the banana pudding was on that same level, 1000000/10!!! We also had the sea salt brickle and the key lime pie and they didn't disappoint. If you want something so creamy and delicious, this is the place to go! Very cute for a date or just taking the family out. And the employee that helped us, black hair with the blond bangs, customer service was amazing!

    Came here for desert after dinner. They had a variety of ice creams to choose from. I ended up getting a mini scoop ($5)of the chocolate raspberry. It was chocolatey with a raspberry jam flavor. Quite good! Staff was friendly and let me sample a few flavors before selecting my actual scoop. I would come back again! Food: 7.5 Staff/service: 7.5 Value: 6.5 Overall: 7.2/10

    Wow! What a treat. I had a delightful experience at Blue Cow Ice Cream. My best friend and I went in for the first time last night. ***LOCATION*** This is located in a strip mall in the Short Pump area. There is a lot of parking out front in the lot. Happy I was in the area to check it out. ***EXPERIENCE*** The woman who helped us was very kind and patient. She let us try a few flavors and was so sweet when we had trouble deciding. Cookies & Cream was the winner of the night for me, and even though this ice cream shop is far from where I live, I would drive back for this flavor alone. Something in the vanilla was just so amazing. It was a simple flavor done right. ***PRICE*** I got the mini cup and with my tip the total came to be just a little over $4. ***CONCLUSION*** I've been to a few ice cream spots in Short Pump and have to say this is my favorite one. I can't wait to come back to devour more delicious ice cream!

    Loved this ice cream shop! Located next to Mellow Mushroom perfect stop for something sweet after pizza! It's spacious with seating inside and outside. Nicely decorated and clean! Lots of different ice cream options! Beside one and two scoop options there's ice cream flight that gives you 4 different flavors for 14$ and for two people it's perfect if can't decide what to get! We picked peanut butter fudge ripple, sea salt brickle with caramel swirl, double vanilla and ironclad coffee chip! All were delicious and very creamy especially vanilla!

    Excited to see a new ice cream option in Short Pump and it's a solid option. The indoor is cute and colorful. We walked in to the scent of fresh waffle cones, which smells amazing! The staff was friendly and we sampled a few items, but didn't end up choosing those. I opted for a cone of banana pudding ice cream. I enjoyed it, with pieces of vanilla wafers. I haven't had that flavor in ice cream before. My girls didn't like it, but they don't like banana pudding either. One of my girls got cookies and cream and the other dark chocolate with raspberry swirls. I thought they were both decent. Prices were reasonable and I like the option of a mini, which was plenty big. Here's the problem. It's just not as good or as cute as Gelati Celesti, which sets the bar and is right down the street.

    An awesome addition to Greengate! This was my first time having Blue Cow and I loved it. They had at least 5 flavors I wanted to try, whereas I normally am only intrigued by 2-3 at other places. There's definitely something for everyone. They also have a 4-flavor flight option. The staff was very friendly and allowed us to try any flavors we wanted. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the entire place is super clean. Prices are on par with other ice cream shops though the portions here might be slightly bigger.

    If you're looking for indulgent and unique ice cream flavors, Blue Cow is the place to try! While their menu is not huge, it is definitely a crowd pleaser with the classic flavors like simple vanilla, all the way to their signature Blue Cow Patty (chocolate ice cream with butterfinger pieces, Oreos, & dark chocolate chunks), as well as some tasty fruit inspired flavors. The aroma of fresh waffle cones will sure get you in the mood for ice cream as you enter in this space! The staff is always kind and friendly, and there never seems to be a shortage of workers to make sure things are taken care of around the shop, as well as keeping the line moving when they are busy. If you're in a rush or want to take stuff home, they do sell ice cream by the pint as well!

    Discovered this while craving ice cream and was happy to have another option in Short Pump besides the fast food soft serve and Coldstone. Immediately smelled the sweet aroma of cream as I walked in with my family. The workers are very nice and were able to help us with some of their more eclectic choices which all tasted amazing. We decided to get an ice cream flight, which was around $18, and even at mini scoop sizes, it was enough for the four of us. The prices were fair for the area, and you have the option for toppings, cone, cup, float, or shake. They even have some vegan/non dairy flavors and gluten free cones. I loved the honey lavender which was very creamy and rich. My family also loved their flavors. The seating is a little limited, but you can choose indoor or outdoor. We'll definitely come back. It's a nice place to come alone, with friends, or with family.

    My husband and I stopped in for a treat after our anniversary dinner. Both of us got medium cups of…read moreice cream. Each had two really large scoops. Portion size 10/10. However the ice cream tasted terrible. Ice cream is my favorite dessert and I threw 3/4 out. The ice cream wasn't creamy, had a super artificial taste, had water crystals in it, and wasn't worth eating. The pistachio tasted flavorless other than the nuts that were in it. The mud ice cream flavor as okay. The only tasty part being the incursions as well. Overall we were super disappointed and won't be back. The servers were kind and the place was clean. Plenty of parking in the shopping center. Many other better options nearby.

I also got some of their fried oreos to enjoy back at home and they were also fried perfectly. As a lover of fair food, it was nice to have a fried oreo that wasn't greasy. They also serve hot food (chicken tenders,burgers, fries and even pizzas!). The big scoop is truly a one stop shop for a fun fast casual experience. The staff were all friendly and the space is extremely spacious. With its proximity to the mall there is ample parking and would be a great end of the day spot to just relax with friends. I could even see this being a great party or after practice spot if it isn't already. If you're like me and just crave a sweet treat some days this might just be the spot for you.

    I had been hearing so much buzz around town about Cookie Chris, and with their new location off…read moreMechanicsville Turnpike, I went in this evening with high expectations and a serious sweet tooth. Unfortunately, the service left me incredibly disappointed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted rudely by the worker. While inside, we witnessed her having two other unpleasant interactions with other customers snapping, tapping her nails impatiently, and even aggressively pointing at where she wanted people to stand (causing confusion because her "right" and their "right" weren't the same). There was still plenty of time left before closing, so the rush and frustration didn't make sense. When it was finally our turn, I tried to order a sugar cookie. She snapped at me that they didn't have sugar cookies and pointed to the counter display with that evening's options. My friend and I both noticed the sign did clearly list sugar cookies. When I pointed this out, she became even more dismissive. Between two cookies and three scoops of ice cream, I ended up spending $26, which felt overpriced considering the attitude that came with it. Now for the positives: the shop itself is spotless very clean, and clearly well-kept. The aesthetics are bright, though I personally found them a bit overwhelming. Overall, while I wanted to love this Black-owned business that so many people recommended, the customer service completely ruined the experience. A sweet treat should come with a smile, not hostility.

    I happened upon this place as I was going to T-Mobile, which was nearby. Cookies are one of my…read morefavorite desserts so of course I had to look up this place to see if it was any good. When I saw that it was owned by a young, Black man, I KNEW I had to patronize this business since it was Juneteenth (I would've done it on any regular day, too). When I walked in, it smelled like heaven (aka fresh baked cookies). I ordered an ice cream cookie sandwich with the chocolate chip cookies and birthday cake ice cream. I also ordered a tres leche cookie. Each week, there is a new line up of cookies. They also had a cinnamon toast crunch cookie that looked pretty good, but buying anymore cookies would've put me in a cookie-coma. The ice cream was delicious! The tres leche cookie was really good. I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies, but it was too sweet for me. I wasn't sure if they used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet... I would cut back a little bit on the sugar or maybe sprinkle some salt on top to combat that sweetness. I would DEFINITELY return if I was in the RVA area.
