It was a quiet and nice little place, I didn't have any ice cream but it looked delicious with many flavors. I had an Americana coffee and it was not bad at all.

It's a cute little icecream shop. The flavors are fun and interesting. There's a small outdoor seating area.

Ice cream was very good. Maybe the best I have had. It was very creamy. They have some non traditional flavors that we stayed away from.

The ice cream is good but not incredible. The portions however were laughable. I took my whole family here, which was a mistake. The kids' scoops were hollow "curls" and when they had their few bites they were complaining. I had to ask them to actually put two whole scoops of ice cream in the "double" cup I ordered for myself. There was also p*** on the seat in the bathroom, which I personally cleaned up so my kids could use it. Maybe it's a college town thing. Maybe it's bad training. Either way, I'll be skipping this place in the future.

We really enjoyed most everything here. In case you didn’t know (we didn’t before going), everything is gluten free. Which I think is kind of cool because I imagine people who can’t tolerate gluten normally only get a few choices at a restaurant and, here, they can have anything. No one in my party is gluten free though and everyone wished there was gluten waffle cone option. My party didn’t care for the gluten free waffle cones, but the ice cream and cookies were a smashing hit. There were some really unique fun flavors and some tried and true ones. Ice cream was very creamy and the servings sizes were very generous. I would definitely return!

This place is honestly not good at all. It was so hot in the store I couldn’t even sit in there to eat, my ice cream was literally melted when they gave it to me, tasted terrible and the patio was disgusting and filthy I would give it a 0 if I could and they charged us almost $11 for two small cones :(

Very nice ice cream shop in the AGU residence hall area. Easy walk to the shop to get some tasty ice cream! I tried lavender honey and pineapple cake, both are amazing. Real pineapple pieces are in the ice cream and not too sweet like other typical shops. Definitely worth the visit in these hot weather.

Another place that will not accept cash, which is discriminating against the poor, which around here kind of amounts to discriminating by race as well. Ice cream was good, plus they have signs about ingredients, like if the ice cream has eggs. Totally out of cupcakes because they exist to serve the students, and the students are away. They are not for us, but they might be for you.

We came today and the doors were locked even tough the open sign was on. :/ It's so hot we wanted ice cream.4 stars because we've been in the past and they taste awesome!

Someone should tell the owner they can't call cows fat anymore. We all woke now I will not?Just a little levity. Like the fact that this is a local place and has a sense of humor of the place. The person behind the counter provided fantastic service tonight. There's only one person working the entire store, but she was efficient and super friendly.I had the chocolate ice cream with almonds. Unfortunately the almonds were almond flakes sprinkled on top versus kneaded into the ice cream. Also, the ice cream was a bit hard and I have to let it sit to soften. Other than that it was yummy.

If I could give more stars I would. Awesome for gluten-free people. Tons of options and great environment. Knowledgeable staff that changed gloves and even used clean scooper. Gluten-free. waffle. cones.... What more can I say.

I love Four Fat Cows. Do I regularly forget that they're not too far from me? Fortunately, yes, because otherwise they would have all of my monies! Creative, super delicious flavors in addition to many of the "usuals" for less-adventurous ice cream appreciators to enjoy. The staff are always friendly & happy to provide tastes of different flavors while you agonize over which one to go for on that visit.An additional factor that really sold me on this place was an experience during one of my first few times in, when just in front of me in line was a parent + a kiddo with Celiacs, there for the kid's first-ever ice cream cone. I'd of course already seen that gluten-free cones were on offer, but I saw the staff really take care in terms of ensuring no cross-contamination on utensils and practicing all the appropriate precautions for folks who really can't risk any gluten. I don't need to be gluten-free myself, but kudos to any eatery that takes food allergies/dietary restrictions seriously (and matter-of-factly-- no one seemed the least bit put out about accommodating them, but both workers present were chatting with them and happy to be part of this fun first experience getting to enjoy a "normal" childhood treat!) and provides options for folks who may not be able to enjoy such things at many places.

The only reason I'm giving this three stars and not more here because I wasn't able to try it and the reason being was it that the girls did not know what they were doing they didn't know how to fix what I asked for I also didn't know how to fix a coffee that my wife asked for however I did get to try a bite of the ice cream and that's the part that makes me sad because I really was looking forward to eating it because on that day I was on a mission to get ice cream and that was the fourth place I went everyone else had freezer burnt ice cream and poor choices this place actually had different choices that I haven't seen before so from what I can tell the people who work there need a little more training everything else seemed be pretty good so I'm interested in going back and giving it more stars

I love it best spot for ice cream that have a smooth taste I love it and my kid too. I wish I known it was in my town years ago but I like it and the people are nice and helpful too

Was excited to try this after reading reviews. The only worker was not helpful. I have celiac and told the girl that I read they would scoop from the back and she said no. I asked about the gluten free macarons and she said “there frozen”. I asked about the ice cream that had brownie and cake pieces being gluten free like what type of brownie they used and she replied “I don’t know”. Initially ordered 3 of the puddle cones and after taking over 20 minutes or more I told her to forget the third one. Disappointed ☹️
