    Stopped in while visiting from Connecticut and Fred's absolutely delivered. We grabbed a mix of specialty donuts plus the biggest cinnamon roll I've ever seen, and every single thing was excellent. The salted caramel and churro donuts were the standouts--both were ridiculously good. The Fruity Pebble donut was total sweetness overload in the best way possible. Even the coffee was really good. If I lived closer, this place would be a problem.

    Still our favorite donut place in the Burg! Folks are always friendly! The donuts are ALWAYS fresh! They make them fresh on site, sell them until they run out and make more! They DO run out sometimes because well, like I said they make them fresh and do not store them. If you want all your favorites in stock every visit I'd go to a chain store. If you want fresh delicious donuts and maybe the best apple fritters I've had, them check this place out!

    Not really sure...we might have hit them at the wrong time. It was 2 hours before closing and they were almost out of donuts with just a few of their chocolate caramel and their carrot cake donuts remaining. We took one each and the carrot cake donut was the winner. The server said that they had some big groups come in and kinda clean them out of donuts and they were considering closing shop. Right after us the a few more families came for coffee and they literally closed shop.. good for them. Now seems like a gas station building converted into this cool little donut n coffee shop. May try again if I get a chance. Btw...while we sat and enjoyed the donuts with coffee on their benches we saw a lot of families come in and try to open the door only to be told that they had closed early. Definitely looks like a local fav.

    Maple Bacon Donut

    Excellent donut! Thick but chewy, soft and yummy! Hubby had the maple bacon donut and I had the frosted fruity pebbles donut and they were both wonderful! Service was friendly, quick and efficient. The quirky little shop was visually pleasing with some cute and quaint decor.

    We always love stopping when in the area. Service is always quick and staff is very friendly. The donuts never disappoint. Be sure to go early in the day to get a good flavor variety. They have a fun mural on the building my kiddos love. One thing, I wish they had more seating and parking options.

    The donuts are excellent. A lot of different varieties if you get there early in the morning, if not they are gone fast.

    Apple fritter (left and counter clockwise) cider cake donut, funnel cake donut

    3.75 is a better average. Came towards the end of the day so the selection seemed limited. Got an apple fritter, funnel cake donut, and pumpkin cider cake donut. The only one worth getting again - is the apple fritter. But I still give that no more than 4 stars. It was way too big / thick, low glaze to donut ratio, but I thought the texture was solid. Chewy, not dry, and good taste. Just needs to be about half the thickness and a little more glaze and it would be closer to a 5. The other two were just ok.

    Cute spot to grab a little deserved snack. Not too many flavors were available when we visited but good customer service. Donuts were alright, but nothing I'd rush back for.

    Every time I go here I am amazed. I know I have to go Friday, Saturday or Sunday. The staff is amazing!!!! We had a donut cake made for Mr daughter's birthday and it came out incredible and what we asked for it taste great. The staff on the weekends are amazing!!!!

    Amazing spot for gourmet doughnuts. There is nothing standard about these - we had a snickers doughnut covered in caramel, chocolate, and peanuts, and a cronut, and they were borderline life changing. The pumpkin spice dirty chai was also amazing. There is not much room inside, but there are several covered picnic tables outside. This is a great place to grab a dozen doughnuts to go when you need to bring something to a work meeting or are feeding houseguests.

    4.5 stars! Service was friendly and quick. The shop is small and does not have indoor seating. If the weather is nice, there are two picnic tables outside. We tried the glazed blueberry and chocolate cake donuts. They were way bigger than a Dunkin donut and way less sweet, but still had flavor. The Boston cream donut was delicious as well! I love that it's family owned/local too.

    Dozen assorted to go

    Amazing fresh and fluffy donuts with creative flavors like Samoa, caramel macchiato, French toast and horchata, plus cronuts and cinnamon rolls (weekends) and really delicious coffees. Everything is made up fresh onsite throughout the day. The donuts are huge, cronuts and cinnamon rolls even larger. They also offer some turnovers and other pastries. Servers are friendly and will happily tell you the specialty flavors of the week and make suggestions for coffee drinks. There's often a line because everyone knows how good the donuts are here but they keep it moving as fast as they can. If you bring your pup they have a jar of dog treats too. All seating is outdoors. There's a private parking lot and street parking. It's a short walk to the Mary Washington campus or old town Fredericksburg shopping too. For my money these are simply the best donuts in Northern Virginia and I'll happily drive the hour to get them.

    Pretty disappointing. Got 2 containers to go home. Peanut brittle ganache and the peanut butter…read morefudge ripple. Scooped through the first 1/3 of the container and saw little to no inclusions. Might as well have ordered plain vanilla. The ice cream is fine but when you're ordering flavors they should at least be a "co-star" to the ice cream, especially how they say everything is made "in house". I'll stick to the other cow (moo thru)

    Blue Cow Ice Cream is clearly a very popular spot. When I visited, the place was packed with…read morecustomers, which is always a good sign. Service was quick and friendly, and I ordered a two-scoop bowl of brown butter pecan with hot fudge and pecans. While I enjoyed the visit overall, the flavor of the butter pecan was underwhelming. It tasted more like plain vanilla than the rich, nutty flavor I expected. My friends agreed it just didn't have the depth of flavor that stands out. For such a busy location, I think they could invest in some upgrades to really match their popularity. Right now, the hot fudge is microwaved in a plastic container and drizzled over the ice cream. A dedicated hot fudge dispenser, like the ones you see at places such as McDonald's or Dairy Queen, would elevate the experience and feel more fitting for a shop with this much traffic. At checkout, I asked about a military discount, but I don't think the gentleman heard me. I'm not sure if this location offers one for veterans or first responders, but it would be a great addition if they did. Overall, Blue Cow is enjoyable and clearly loved by the community, but the ice cream and setup didn't quite live up to the hype. With a few improvements, this spot could really shine and deliver on the expectations that come with its popularity.

As usual, my wife started looking for a place we haven't been before. Having been in Fredericksburg now for almost 2 1/2 years, the list of such places is getting shorter. We were out Route 3 west of 95, and she found a place called Affogato Europa Cafe. It's a family-run cafe and bakery featuring pastries, sandwiches, coffees, and lots of other sweets. It was a very clean, friendly looking place. We looked at the menu and my wife decided to have a Beef and Onion Burek, which is a traditional Balkan flaky pastry filled with, in this case, beef and onions. It was fantastic. Very flavorful and the pastry melted in your mouth. I'm a sucker for anything with the word "breakfast" in it. I had the Balkan Breakfast Panini. This marvelous sandwich contains egg, chorizo, cheese spread, provolone, tomato, and arugula. It was outstanding and the chorizo was very tasty (though a bit hard to bite through). I know I love a sandwich when after I put the last bite in my mouth, I feel a little sad because it is all done. Such was the case here. My wife had a Cortado espresso, which she loved but was a bit strong for me. I had a London Fog, which seemed like a latte with a hint of Earl Gray tea. I loved it, and when my wife tasted it she pronounced it "nummy". She doesn't use that word a lot so when she does I know she loves it. After lunch we split a Lava Cake, which is a small but decadent chocolate cupcake. The dining room was small but comfortable. The servers we encountered at the counter were very friendly. Rest room was very clean. It's not really close to us, but when were shopping out on Route 3, we'll certainly try them again.
