    Super friendly and helpful employees!! Very impressive. I love that. Very cute inside and they have some very unusual flavors of ice cream like olive oil and goat cheese and blueberries. But they also have the standards that you would expect. They are so awesome about letting you try before you buy. I was boring and went with a standard flavor. But the ice cream is delicious. Love the view. If you are lucky enough to sit outside with a view of the water. But they get busy. We were lucky enough to be the only ones in there for about 3 minutes and then there was a line to the door. It smells like waffle cones in there and they make them right in front of you. If you are in the area definitely check them out. They also have ice cream to go.

    All of their flavors are really great but the most unique one and definitely my fave is the blue berry goat cheese! So if you are visiting Virginia Beach, blue cow ice cream is a staple! The service was fast, the staff was very friendly even thought I went at a busy time. The place is good for a quick treat. It super loud inside when it's very busy but they good seating outside when it's a bright sunny day.

    This has to be the most popular spot in the Shore Drive corridor in the evening after dinner. Lines of people stretch out along the sidewalk waiting their turn for the scrumptious goodies inside. The location is in the Cape Henry Plaza shopping center located on the southeast corner of Shore Drive & Great Neck Roads. Parking is plentiful. The interior has only a few tables. So at busy times it's choose your flavor & go. But that doesn't have any effect on the popularity of the spot at night, especially during tourist season. Daytime is an easier time to get inside. But who can resist an after dinner treat when dining at one of the nearby restaurants. My favorite flavor is Blueberry Goat Cheese. Yes Virginia, it is a great combination. My friend's favorite is Birthday Cake, which has actual cake interspersed. If you're in the Shore Drive or Great Neck corridor it's a "Must Try".

    Phenomenal ice cream tucked away in a strip mall! It has a really fun and bright ambiance and you order at the counter as soon as you walk in. Plenty of parking out front. We ordered a flight which has 4 small cups to pick your own variety. We ordered the goat cheese and blueberry swirl, vanilla, mint chip and non dairy chocolate. I loved the goat cheese ice cream the best but loved the non dairy chocolate too. Good amount of seating and service was very helpful and quick.

    First time here and wish I went back more often! Only got to try the seasalt Brinkle but loveddd it!! So yummy. Everyone was so nice and accommodating as I wanted to sample some flavors. Came on a busy evening and I can see why! The flavors were all so unique yet yummy. Wish I had more time down here next time to try more!

    Love the flavors they offer! Their fresh waffle cone is amazing, definitely get it! This time, we tried sea salt brickle and cookies and cream and they were fantasic. The service is great, super sweet people and willing to give free samples! The place is peaceful and clean. Highly recommend for you to try them out!

    Admittedly, I'm an ice cream nut... and when I eat it has to be restricted because I love it and would eat just it always.. Well, Blue Cow's ice cream was fantastic! This place was extremely busy, but turned customers over really quickly. You may not get a seat inside, but you could always grab the vibe and head to the beach over at First Landing and watch the waves, and maybe a sunset. (Mine didn't make it that long.....) I got a heaping helping of banana pudding and goat cheese blueberry, and it was awesome! The waffle cone was devine! It was close to the cabins we were staying in, and just so good I would go back anytime I was in the area! Enjoy!!

    Our awesome server

    We visited yesterday. Even though they were busy, we were greeted with smiles. Our server did an absolutely amazing job with our milkshakes. He even let us take a picture of his delicious creation! Would visit again!

    They make their own waffle cones and have a lot of unique ice cream flavors. It is a little pricey, but very good!

    I tried two different flavors. One had freezer burn (brown butter pecan) and the other was creamy.

    I did a quick Google search for a ice cream place that we could go to after dinner and this place…read morepopped up the reviews are pretty good so we decided to go here to get some ice cream for the girls and my husband wanted a chocolate milkshake. We arrived within 10 minutes from leaving the restaurant and the parking lot was pretty much empty even though we visited during Friday in January I didn't expect it to be too busy but not a single car in a parking lot was definitely unexpected, we should have left... Nevertheless, we walked up to the service window the service was pretty quick and straight to the point the ambience not much going on ... This is mainly an outdoor Eatery as a result due to the cold temperatures around 30° we were not going to sit outside to enjoy the ambience but it seems like it's a cute atmosphere when the weather is permitting. Overall our visit was just blah. I had the mint chip ice cream my daughter had vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and my husband the chocolate milkshake and we all were disappointed I guess we've tried other ice cream parlors and based on this location and reviews our expectations were a bit higher and we were all disappointed. Nevertheless I will more than likely stick to what we know but you can definitely try at your own risk again looking at some of the reviews some people do enjoy coming here but have fun and enjoy life

The mint chip was bright and brightly flavored with plenty of thin chocolate chips. The outdoor seating had some shade and a nice breeze. And you get a little mural on the side of Lolly's building, a view of a racecar wall-mural on the building next door, and a bright cartoony-mural on the next one! A sweet start to your self-guided mural tour of this artsy neighborhood!

I tried Shellebration which was a seasonal flavor of cake batter with cake pieces and sprinkles and just ask which has peanut butter and Oreo. I was surprised my how large the Oreo chunks were and made my night. Was very happy with the size of a small and allowing 2 flavors. Love how they have a lot or seasonal flavors to try in addition to the staples. Not pictured but they have pints for sale as well as merch. They even have a drive through! Great place to check and definetly recommend!

I absolute love their mint chip and amaretto flavors too. We've even ordered a 6-flight of ice cream this past Valentine's Day and it was the absolute best V-Day outing. Everything is made fresh and in house. You really can't beat a visit to Gelati Celesti. The service is always friendly and they always recommend trying any flavors to see what you're in the mood for! We always end up eating our ice cream at one of the many tables inside or outside. It's a great spot with multiple locations! It's the perfect place for dessert or a sweet treat any time of day! I love Gelati Celesti.

    Chile, if this isn't THEE SLOWEST location ever then idk what. We came here after a wine night and…read morethere were only 2 people in front of us, yet it took about 10 mins to serve them. Our party had about 7 ppl, I want to say it took NO LESS than 20 minutes to serve some darn cookies. It took forever, the girl was the absolute slowest, at a snail's pace is still too fast for her. Anyways, I ordered the cinnamon dolce cookie and it had a little filling in the middle. That cookie was amazing! I would go TO A DIFFERENT location but order it again. Because the line was so long, we had a chance to join the rewards and got a free basic cookie. Because of course the cookie I wanted wasn't ready and the wait was 15 mins, I opted for the snickerdoodle which was just OK. The cinnamon dulce is on the money. But, this location was so slow that literally half of the line got frustrated and left. I want to say it was at least 3-4 left the line while we were there. 3 stars because the cookies were good, the location was clean and the young lady was nice/professional.
