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.

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!

We had some great bubble tea here! They have a huge menu with lots of unique options, including…read morecheese foam and crème brûlée drinks. 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!

We stopped here passing through on a trip, and we loved the atmosphere! The interior details and…read moreconnection with nature were lovely and unique. We had a wonderful lunch experience and friendly service. Would stop here again!

We walked in and they were currently helping another customer. The store was very clean. The…read morecounters were organized. Everything seemed very presentable. We did not get the usual, "Welcome to Cold Stone," greeting we normally get from straddling at other Cold Stone stores. We were next in line. After the customer left, they stayed at the cash register and talked for a bit. Which seemed a bit odd to me since we were waiting. Usually, in other establishments, the staff is very attentive and is eager to handle the next customer. Or if we came in as a group, they tag team to get us all completed in a timely fashion and work on the next. This is not what happened. When she finally came to us, we started our order. I was paying attention to how she kept herself, what she did before and after the handling of our ice cream. As she was finishing the mixes in the ice cream, I immediately noticed something different. In all the locations I have been to, this one was different. She leveled our ice cream with the cup it was in. I made this face. I thought it was odd and possibly thought she was going to bug the rest of it in but she didn't. She actually took a bit away in order to level the top of it. When she gave us our order, the ice cream was pouring over the side after she leveled it. She didn't bother to wipe it. I absolutely love cold stone. I know this is a new store and customer service is important. I do hope this is something they are not taught. Ice cream was delicious but I gave it three stars for this above. Hope next time for a five star review.

Love this local cold stone! The staff is always friendly and fast! Its a smaller shop but there is…read morestill plenty of seating with a bar top along the back wall to add more seating.

Yummy stop off the road for ice cream. Kids loved the little stop for a quick snack. We ordered…read morethe Oreo shake, a little too sweet for us. The dole whip reminded me of Disney and had to try it. Came as a swirl in strawberry and pineapple flavor. Pineapple is yummier than strawberry.

Great spot for soft serve, just a short drive away from Cornell!…read more I tried the red velvet soft serve and really enjoyed it. 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. Quite a few picnic tables to sit at although only one is shaded so it can get pretty hot. There is also a drive through which is nice! Lots of flavor options! Overall, I would recommend!

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.
