“**No pets allowed! Research and teaching farm!**A 329-acre dairy farm with tours and a museum with interactive educational experiences, but we came for the ice cream, which is amazing, and had a great time! The Creamery has a porch with tables, rockers and Adirondack chairs, a lawn where kids play, and cow watching. Inside they sell the classics, coffees and smoothies, take home pints, Howling Cow merch, and, at the holidays, their famous egg nog. I had a Tuffy's Special, which was the March student creation. It was so good! I really hope they make it a permanent menu item. The whole family enjoyed their treats. The staff even provided a lid for the banana split without us having to ask. Can't wait for our next chance to stop by!Kid-friendliness: working dairy farm with tours, museum with interactive educational experiences and a lawn for play at the creamery“

“I love the ice cream here, I only docked one star because I wish they had more non dairy flavors (it has been vanilla only the past two months) other than their sorbet. The staff is normally very friendly, but they seem to be on their phones a lot and aren't washing their hands before serving customers after touching their phones. Overall, I recommend, I just suggest less phone use and more non dairy flavors.“

“After getting a late dinner, my friend and I wanted some dessert. Crumbled was on the way home. I placed an online order at 10:12pm for the 4-pack. We got 2 milk chocolate, 1 molten lava, and 1 chocolate covered strawberry. The 4 pack was $13.95.We arrived about 2-3 minutes after placing the order and it wasn’t ready yet. It was clean inside and not busy at all. The wait for receiving the cookies was short.We both only ate 1 cookie that night and one the next morning. They were soft and DELICIOUS. I will say that the cookies weren’t hot or warm. I highly enjoyed the icing on the chocolate covered strawberry cookie. Strawberry is my favorite flavor and it did not disappoint!All in all, the cookies fulfilled our desires. The staff were friendly. No complaints, really, besides the appearance on the icing of my chocolate covered strawberry cookie.“

Even with it being over an hour and a half drive, she gave us a more than fair price and made my 3 year olds birthday a day to remember. She was very polite and accommodating. Maybe with one of the next birthday parties, I’ll be able to get her to come back. All-in-all, I would recommend to anyone.

We ordered 4 different drinks & every single guest raved about them! He delivered them on time and even helped with setting them up! If you are looking for a catering boba place or even a small drink for yourself, I highly recommend this place! My personal favorite is the mango jasmine tea with tapioca pearl boba.“
