I am assuming the "howling" part of the name is because this is an NCSU establishment (Wolfpack).

I have had Howling Cow products at other places throughout Raleigh, and this is the first time at the creamery itself. The grounds are wonderful. There is interior seating, but the star here is the back patio, equipped with rocking chairs and the like, with a large grass area overlooking the cows/farmland. Awesome. There are several creameries throughout NC that have a farmland type view, but the patio does it for me.

I've tried several items from HC. As far as flavors, cherry vanilla and almond butter stand out to me. I had a sundae this go-round, Fireside Brownie Sundae. It had a warm brownie, whipped cream, chocolate chips, and ice cream. They are extremely rich. They offer splits, several cup and cone options, shakes, and pretty much anything ice cream related. Has a bunch of toppings to make whatever concoction you want. I really enjoy the two aforementioned ice cream flavors and like this over everything else sampled. You can also purchase bottled drinks, t-shirts, and other dairy products.

Expect plenty of patrons, a line that usually moved fairly quickly, and ample staff to handle it all. HC does NOT take cash, and I actually love this aspect.

Solid sweet tooth option and an even better atmosphere. We found prices fair and perhaps competitive.“

“This place must be the most undiscovered treasure in fuquay. My partner is an ice cream connoisseur, yall he's got his own ice cream maker, and he said this is some of the best ice cream he's had in a long time! I agree. He and his daughter got 1 scoop of pot of gold and i got 1scoop of cookies and cream. it's a very creamy ice cream and not too sugary! That's not even why I'm writing this review. We just each had a 1/2 chocolate chip cookie we took home and OMG it's perfect. they also had real maple sugar and coffee which was an added bonus. we will certainly be back!“

“We drive almost an hour to Willow oak farm because it’s that good! The barnyard buddies class is so nice, my daughters look forward to it every week. The two teachers are amazing and great with the kids. And there is so much to do after class we end up staying the rest of the day! There’s an outdoor playground, indoor playground, ice cream, and farm animals. We just had my daughters birthday party here as well and everyone had a blast.“

“Mama Bird’s Ice Cream has lots of flavor choices including several vegan/non-dairy ones. I tried the Vegan (non-dairy) mint chip in a small cup. There were also choices of sugar cones, homemade waffle cones, or waffle bowls, and ice cream sandwiches made with homemade brownies or cookies. The small was a nice sized two scoop portion. Loved it! The staff was very nice and answered my ingredient questions (allergy issues) and offered a sample to customers.“

“Kulfi milk tea are amazing ! A must try !“

“Can’t get enough of these delicious ice cream, this has been my second time going and I love the ice cream options they have, even fruits in a cup which are call mangonada they are so delicious if you love mango with tajin. We had a Oreo cookies popsicle and churros and coconut ice cream with malsapan(it’s kinda taste like almond) very delicious I will really recommended it.“

“In Cary for a birthday lunch and visit to the Downtown Park. Aunt Karen suggested ice cream and it was on!! Super friendly staff. Neat and clean scoop shop. Delicious and fresh waffle cone. Amazingly Great ice cream - what a winning combination. You guys are knocking it out of the park!! I’m not in the triangle that often, but when I return….. 5 ⭐️“

“I have not been here but heard a story of a truly good deed by the owner of the establishment. It was a true act of selflessness. Im sure the gentleman and his family will not forget your act of genoristy. If I find myself in the area i will definitely GO.......“

“The cookies Crumbl sell are amazing! There always served warm or chilled depending on the type of dessert you get! The service is absolutely fantastic, as soon as you order not even a minute later my cookie is ready! I personally love going there because I always smile when I see the pink walls and cookie wall decor!

Kid-friendliness: Definitely child friendly! I have a daughter that loves going there to get cookies! She always is dancing and singing on our way there, ready for her cookie!!“

“I’ve been enjoying them for awhile now. We usually go once a week. It’s our favorite dessert location. While the wife enjoys the cobblers I enjoy the shakes. And they have had me hooked since day one. Great staff always polite and professional. And they don’t keep you waiting long. All around a great place for dessert.“

“Always enjoy the DQ treats!🍨🍨“
