About Cow Cafe

The Cow Cafe is a charming ice cream shop with a cozy atmosphere and a fun, playful vibe, thanks to its little train that chugs around the shop. The staff is friendly and quick to help, and the ice cream selection is great, tasting wonderful at good prices. The cafe offers homemade ice cream and has a family-friendly environment, including a play area for small children and a party room for kids' birthday gatherings. Customers can sit outside or inside, though the inside can sometimes feel warm and stuffy. The cafe also serves great food, with the Cuban pig being a popular menu item, and the Cuban bread receiving praise. The owner is friendly and shares interesting stories about the cafe's history.

The Cow Cafe is adorably decorated with a train that goes around the sitting area. They serve a variety of food, including the popular "apple pie la moo" - a layered dessert with apple pie, ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel. Customers describe the atmosphere as "neat" and "cozy," with a "spirit of peace" and an obvious attempt to make families feel welcome. The Cow Cafe is a delightful, family-friendly, and locally-owned establishment that visitors in New Bern enjoy, especially for a delicious treat or a fun outing.

Super cool little ice cream shop. Ice cream was delicious. Very neat atmosphere on the inside. My kids loved the train that circled around the roof. They also loved all the giant cow decor inside. The manager came around while we ate our ice cream and asked how it was. Definitely recommend for a cozy neat experience in the heart of downtown New Bern.

We visited this adorable shop again today, and we were delighted even more than we were the first time we came! Twenty-five years ago, we visited the Cow Cafe on our honeymoon! We came back this year (from Pennsylvania) to honor our silver anniversary. When we walked into the shop, we could just feel a spirit of peace. The obvious attempt to make children and families feel welcome was palpable. The "Kindness Cownts" wall (where children are applauded for the character trait) and...read full review

We were as impressed with the food as the ice cream. Cuban cow was TASTY! Potato salad too. We will be back! Really nice and friendly staff.
