I personally love their ramen, their build-your-own rice bowls, and their strawberry fruit green tea with strawberry boba, but that's just the beginning of what they have here. I also really like their online ordering system, because then I can just put in what I want, how I want it, and then go to the pick-up counter to get it. Wonderful for a picky eater like me! I've never eaten in the restaurant, but there is ample seating and it is always clean. Very much worth the trip every time!

Fav spot in Ithaca for boba!…read more I really like their panna cotta and creme brulee additions. I don't love my milk teas too sweet so I typically order them with less sugar. The creme brulee topping is a tad sweeter, creamier, and not quite as jelly-like as the panna cotta topping in my opinion. It's more custardy which I slightly prefer over the panna cotta one. Good flavor and topping selection!

The inside is really big with tons of seating options and a cute but simple decor. The servers were very nice and made our drinks quickly. I got the mango yakult drink, which was exactly was I was looking for. It wasn't too rich or creamy, but was a delicious sweet drink with boba. My friend got a matcha drink they said was perfect. The cups are high quality and cute. Unfortunately, after we were long gone, I did find a hair in my drink. If it wasn't for that the drinks would have been perfect!

The layout of the restaurant in general is just the most inefficient way to get customers through (register is basically right in front of the door when you walk in so the line gets crowded even if it's just 3 people). Poor planning of design. Service was okay, nothing to write home about and the order took super long (3 drinks took about 15-20 minutes despite it not being busy at all). The taste was just as good, except my taro slush with no bubbles had fairly large chunks of ice in it. For 15-20 minutes that should have been a soup blending that thing into oblivion. I was pretty disappointed with my experience here since I've always had great ones prior.

I am obsessed with this little place; it is a must stop for me in Ithaca. I go there primarily for…read morethe bubble tea as it uses a lot of special brew teas, and authentic style teas that do not just come from flavor powders in a bag. I have ordered so many various teas from here but specifically love the Yaxi Tea, and I always add in mochi to it as it is literally perfection. It has a full bodied, warm feeling flavor. Aside from the teas and unique toppings, they also make delicious desserts, appetizers, and poke. The desserts range from sweet to savory. Service is always fast & polite. Last visit I also ordered Jiu Niang With Egg to try something a little different. It is served hot, and is a soup with sweet fermented rice with poached eggs, red dates, and goji berries...I am still thinking about it! It is the closest in flavors, vibes, and options I have found in our larger CNY area to authentic flavors.

They lose two stars because, in the bathroom, they also have supplies stored in there, such as ice cream cups and other containers used to serve food.

Love that attitude! She did say her food was better than unnamed place and she backed it up! Great Vietnamese staples with a pseudo--authentic twist. Example being the Bun Bo Hue, which is slightly "Americanized" for the Yinz - same spiciness and flavor but no funky meat options. Tasted very authentic and the fresh roll was excellent. Pricing was fair for 2026, and the ambience was basic and no-frills, not a bad thing. Will be returning and recommending other friends visit this spot - glad we made the mistake!

It didn't taste like red velvet cake at all... it just kind of tasted like vanilla, with a hint of chocolate maybe? Nonetheless, the color is fun and I liked it. A very cute spot for icecream.

I'd been wanting to check out Frosty Cow for a while and I finally got the chance to go with my…read moregirlfriend and a friend... except none of us actually ordered anything. And no, we didn't see any cows either. Strike one. The second time was more eventful. I went with a different group of friends, and this time we did get ice cream and see the cows. (Let me be clear: the cows are not part of the official Frosty Cow experience, but somehow, they're always part of the story.) They're just... there. Big, red-eyed, slightly intimidating cows, chilling nearby like unofficial mascots. We got lowkey scared at first, but of course, that didn't stop us from taking a ridiculous amount of photos. It's unpredictable, though; Another time we drove past, and the cows were nowhere to be found. So if you're planning your visit around cow sightings, maybe call ahead and ask, "Are the cows out tonight?" Totally normal question. As for the ice cream, it's definitely worth the hype. We got the Fruity Pebbles flavor, which was creamy and nostalgic in the best way. My girlfriend found it a little too milky for her taste, but I loved how rich and dairy-forward it was. The cereal bits gave that perfect crunchy finish. All in all, whether you're in it for the ice cream or just hoping for cows, Frosty Cow is a fun little stop worth checking out.
