    Medium/Double scoops: Lotus coconut pie/Bourbon Fig and Irish Crunch/Death by Chocolate

    TLDR: Definitely recommend. Ice cream hot spot, and I can taste why. Rich and creamy - just want you'd want from a cold treat on a hot day. My husband had the Irish Crunch (which he liked but felt needed more Heath) and the Death by Chocolate (which he enjoyed.) I had the Coconut Lotus Pie (lovely coconut flavor, very satisfying) and the Bourbon Fig (mild bourbon flavor and I could definitely feel the fig texture, but I would have liked a little more punch from both.) The staff was courteous and efficient, even with a line backing out to the street. The seating area is small and can fill up quickly, but you can cross the street and sit by the sound for a nice view. The price is a little steep - two medium cups/double scoops ran us around $17 before the tip - but it's not out of the realm of what you'd expect to pay in a busy beach area and the product is good quality.

    We were in the area exploring, and after lunch, decided to get a cold treat. Searched on Yelp and Holy Cow Creamery (HCC) came up. First, look for the Duck Deli. HCC is attached to it, on the side, but you won't be able to see it from the street very well, from your car. Look for the "ice cream" and "milkshakes" flags. You'll have walk through Duck Deli to get to it. Once outside, you'll enter a fun, bright yellow back patio with the HCC order window. They seemed to have a good variety of flavors. They also allow you to sample! I ordered the blueberry cheesecake and was torn between Death by Chocolate and tiramisu, but ultimately I went with Death by Chocolate. I will definitely go for the tiramisu next time. They were pretty generous scoops and I had my fill with a medium size! Great little patio to enjoy your treats. Things to note: - outdoor seating only - small is only one scoop (only one flavor) , medium is two scoops (so 2 flavors), etc. - basically only one flavor in one scoop - I'm assuming their flavors rotate because one of the staff members were writing the menu on the chalkboard by hand. Enjoy, Friends!

    This review was meant for the Kill Devil Hills location but if it's the same owners, I'm sure the ice cream is just as good :)

    Holy cow is the perfect name for this place. Hands down some of my favorite ice cream. Super creamy and full of flavor.

    Quality ice cream with unique choices. Came because we wanted their death by chocolate, but they change flavors so it was unavailable. People who work there were fast and efficient, even with large groups. Would go back, but also want to try other places to compare.

    Donut panini with lemon ice cream
    Tom S.

    Came in after dinner for some dessert. Everyone wanted some ice cream. I was pretty full from dinner and did not want anything. As I was looking at the menu I noticed the donut panini. I asked about it and the lady behind the counter said it was a warmed-up panini stuffed with ice cream. They recommended stuffed with lemon ice cream. What can I say, I ordered and it was scrumptious. I also ordered a chocolate cone in a waffle cone. The place is laid back and folks are friendly. I will be back for more.

What we got instead was a dessert disaster straight out of a Jimmy Buffett fever dream. My wife ordered ice cream that tasted like it had been cryogenically frozen since the Reagan administration. You ever had ice cream so freezer burnt it crunches? Yeah, it was like that. I figured I'd play it safe and go with a cotton candy snow cone. Big mistake. I don't know what kind of cotton candy they've been sniffing in Hawaii, but mine tasted like a urinal cake in a gas station bathroom--sweet, chemical-y, and weirdly minty in the worst possible way. To top it off, the woman behind the counter grabbed the ice cream bare-handed. No gloves. Just out here raw-dogging the frozen dairy like hygiene isn't a thing. Maybe that explains the "flavor." If you're in the mood for a science experiment gone wrong or want to know what disappointment tastes like, this is your place. Otherwise, steer clear.

The way she was being treated with such attitude and lack of kindness was hard to ignore. No one deserves to be belittled like that, especially not at work. It completely changed the vibe of the place. I'm giving this business 1 star, but if I could give 5 stars to the blonde headed girl working there, I absolutely would. She was kind, respectful, and clearly doing her best even while being treated poorly by a coworker right in front of everyone. What should've been a fun, sweet moment turned into something really uncomfortable. I hope management takes this seriously, because how you treat your team matters just as much as the product you serve.

He was initially warm and as we ordered, asked that he let us know if we inadvertently selected a dish containing pork. The dishes arrived with astonishing speed. The Caesar salad had some unidentified fried object on it and when I asked the waiter, he let me know it was pork rinds. He did not acknowledge that it was an error and flippantly suggested I remove them. I asked for a plate to put them on. The waiter's demeanor turned cold after this (what I considered innocuous) exchange. Regarding the dishes, everything was beautifully presented and arrived hot and fresh at our table. I would not recommend the fried cauliflower as it was very bland with some chili sauce splashed over top. The scallops were very well prepared however. NC Coast is a nice spot for a special meal, especially with the view. Just hope the service is more consistent with other guests.
