Move over Dominique Ansel, Freddy Donuts got you beat at the cronut game. Being from New York the…read morecronut is a staple- Freddy's got them beat in every way- the cronut itself is super light and crisp. The flakey buttery layers is heaven. The size of the cronut is huge compared to the Dominique Ansel one. Freddy's is the size of your hand where the other is a quarter size smaller. The cronut at Freddy's is also cheaper going at $4.25 versus $7.75 at Dominique Ansel. They come in glaze drizzle, chocolate and vanilla drizzle, maple drizzle and French toast. Cronuts not available or don't feel like a big cronut...ask if they have the cronut bites. They come in a set of three and you can get either glaze drizzle or cinnamon sugar. The size of their classic and specialty donuts are huge. We are talking easily can be sharable (if you want to). Currently the pricing of their donuts are: $1.95 house/ $2.75 specialty/$2.75 cake/ $3.25 monster filled. They have quite the creative list of flavors. No gluten free options though. Their donuts are light and flavorful. It's not overly sweet at all and well balanced. By their size you get your bang for your buck. If you want to get your choosing of flavors, it's better to go at the start of the day. Later in the day you chance that they could be sold out on flavors - especially if they are busy that day. The donuts are packed in whimsical boxes that are colorful and say "You Deserve A Donut." They also have drinks for purchase but we didn't grab any- maybe next time. On the wall they also have cute donut themed shirts with popular cartoons and characters like Bluey, Pikachu and Deadpool. There is limited parking around the shop. Otherwise plenty of street parking. We took our donuts to go but you can also dine there in front of the store where they have picnic tables. The building looks like it might have been a service gas station in the past. It's decorated with a snake mural and they also have neat drawings inside on their chalkboard menu. We will definitely be back since we have friends that live in the next town over who are also huge fan. 100% recommend this sweet place.

Their version was nicely glazed if not as flaky layered as other places. I even brought some back to my hubby in Atlanta and he enjoyed his VA treats too. Stop by and support the local businesses!

Cupcakes are moist although--I do have a single complaint the buttercream is usually a harder texture than what I like...but it isn't enough to make this a 4 star review thank you. The service every time I come in is lovely I get greeted the millisecond I enter the building. The workers always are enthusiastic about the weekly flavors and always answer my questions. They also have an espresso/beverage bar that I'm not familiar with, but the menu looks yummy from latte cold brew and iced energy drinks. I'd love to come again and I will thank you. Perfect place for a treat

I didn't even know Bubble Tea was a thing in this area so this was a major revelation to me. The minute you walk in, there are yellow walls plastered with cute pictures of dessert and neon lit signs of cute messages. You are surprised why this even exists. I'm sure you could do a photoshoot here because everything is really cute and I don't blame you. The bubble tea is also pretty good and I think for the portion you pay for it's pretty good compared to most places. You can order via kiosk or through a cashier, for the introverted or non introverted. I got the Matcha Milk Tea with Honey Boba. Truly a simple combo that can't be beat. I got 50% sugar and I think it's not too overpowerly sweet but just enough to keep you awake.

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.
