I’ve never had a bad icecream at holy cow. Stopped in today to try the Big Cheez pie and it was unique and delicious! Can’t wait to dig into the Dubai decadence!

Great ice cream. Sophia, Sarah, and Taylor answered all of our question and made us an amazing cone. Would recommend!

Sophia was awesome. Let us try the flavors and was very patient while we deliberated! Ritzy AF lives up to the hype!

Update: came back the next day and had another great ice cream experience with great service from Taylor and Sarah!

The flavors here are all so incredible! Vanessa was patient and helped me pick out a bunch of pints to bring home since we don’t have a location super close to us. Now my freezer is stocked—thank you!

Creamy and delicious. Flavors are strong and decadent. My only critique is that they show 3 flavors (see picture) but they only had 2. I would like to see a half a dozen of flavors and no one missing.

Best ice cream we’ve had, hands down. We regularly make pilgrimages to this place to bring pints back to Somerville. Servers are always friendly. This time we enjoyed scoops from Sarah - she single handedly and calmly managed a line out the door. We highly recommend all ice cream fans check out this national treasure. Long live the Holy Cow!?‍♂️‍➡️?

We stopped in while on vacation and the ice cream was delicious. Our 3 kids loved the various flavors they chose and the staff member, Sophia, was absolutely fabulous. She was extremely patient and helpful while we all made our selections. I have a PB Oreo that was possibly the best ice cream I’ve ever had.

Ridiculous. Waffle cones MADE TO ORDER?!?! I didn't even know that was something places do. And the cream. THE CREAM BRO. Unbelievable, we got Ritzy AF and the pistachio baklava one. 10/10 on both, we went back and got the Choco blackout and Jackpot. So good. Shout-out to Sophia (Sofia?) for being a rockstar and a Professional cream-dealer. Legends. All of You. Keep it up.

The ice cream is delicious!!! Best part is they make the cone by the time you order, so they’re super fresh and tasty. The big cone was about 10 dollars before tax. By the way, Santana was absolutely amazing (and patient with the the dreads of questions I asked hahaha)
*Vegan options are also available!*

Vegetarian options: There were 3 flavors

The Jackpot flavor won awards for best flavor in 2023. Well deserved, where has butterscotch ice cream been my whole life. Great ice cream.
