From an ambiance perspective, you wouldn't figure this is someplace that has amazing desserts... as…read morethe appearance from the outside is exactly what it is - a convenience store. However inside you not only find regular convenience items to hit your sweet tooth, but the ice creams, milkshakes and cakes to satisfy any craving. Absolutely loved the cookie dough sundae I had, and my wife loved the hazelnut one she got in a takeout container. Serviced was quick and they made good suggestions based upon our situation. If you are downtown, this is a great place to get some treats - just no eat-in area - so be prepared to take and go.

Both these flavours were super unique and flavourful.. but of the two, the croissant chocolate smash was my fav! I loved that the ice cream had small bits of croissant and chocolate - I never had any ice cream flavour like this before and I really enjoyed the flavour and texture. I would definitely visit this place again if I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

I stop by every summer for their rhubarb and ginger, but everything they touch is brilliant, even some as ubiquitous as vanilla. Treat yourself. Better yet, treat someone you really like.

We didn't set out to visit COWS Cable Wharf. We had done a hop-on/hop-off tour in Halifax, Nova…read moreScotia, and decided to get a snack before heading back to the ship. As we stood in the streets of Halifax one of us mentioned ice cream and one of the other of us looked up from our phones to see COWS about 75 feet away from us. It was purely accidental, I swear. Then again, if fate deals you a good hand, you take it. This COWS location is located along the waterfront in a large, expansive area of shops and restaurants, and vendors. Inside this place is awesome. I'm going to guess there we well over 30 flavors of ice cream, each one calling my name. The names of their ice cream flavours are funny/whimsical/appropriate. Things like Lemoon lime bar, Cownadian Maple, and Cookie Moonster...you get the drift. A lot of cow-based inspiration. My ice cream of choice was Coffee...and it was SOOOO good. Then there's the merchandise. Aisles and Rows of shirts, hoodies, sweaters, socks, jackets, hats...the list goes on. So Many T-shirts with cow-related puns, and all so fun. The staff at COWS appear to enjoy their jobs and they have fun while working. And why not? It's a fun, relaxed atmosphere and you're surrounded by ice cream!
