Delicious Ice Cream, better than Ice Cream made in the U. S.

COWS is a true Canadian classic when it comes to ice cream! 🍦 Founded in PEI back in the 1980s, they’ve grown into a must-visit spot across Canada, and for good reason.
The ice cream is super creamy and rich, made with high-quality local milk, and the flavours are both fun and delicious — favourites like Gooey Mooey and PEI Blueberry never disappoint.
Beyond the ice cream, the shops are a blast to visit, filled with quirky COWS merchandise and punny t-shirts that make you smile.
Prices are a bit on the higher side and scoops could be bigger, but the quality, history, and overall experience make it well worth the stop.
Definitely one of the best ice creams in Canada!

It's a must for our family. We used to go there every trip to PEI. Was fun to go to one here. Ice cream is good. Fun cow stuff in there too.

When I visited Halifax a few months ago, one of the sweetest surprises was stumbling into COWS Ice Cream, and wow, it’s so much more than just a scoop shop. From the moment you walk in, the playful decor and quirky cow-themed merchandise set the tone for a fun, memorable experience.
The ice cream itself? Absolutely top-tier. I tried the bubble gum flavour (a nostalgic favourite from childhood) and the coffee one, both rich, creamy, and packed with flavour. Portion sizes were generous, and the staff were genuinely warm and helpful, offering great suggestions if you're indecisive.
The shop has a unique vibe, bright, whimsical, and unlike your typical ice cream store. Prices felt fair for the quality and experience. If you're in Halifax and craving something sweet, COWS is a must-visit.

It's Cows - you know what to expect - delicious ice cream and lots of options. I had the Cookie Moonster, which is kind of deceptive looking as its blue but the taste is vanilla (along with cookie dough and oreo cookie chunks). Hungry just remembering it - totally good. There's (at least?) two Cows locations on the harbour, this one seems larger and with more merchandise.
I recently visited Cows and was really disappointed with my experience. We ordered ice cream but were only served a very small scoop, which felt unfair compared to other customers around us who clearly received larger portions for the same price. For the cost, I expected more consistency and value. Unfortunately, it left us feeling unsatisfied and overlooked.

This place is absolutely amazing! The sweet aroma hits you from the street and makes it impossible to walk by😋🍦There are so many flavors of ice cream, all of them delicious — I was truly impressed. On top of that, they also have a little shop with funny and cute cow-themed items, which makes the visit even more special🐮🍨💞

Confused by all the other reviews. The ice cream was comparable to grocery store ice cream that’s been sitting in the freezer too long. It was grainy and watery. Definitely not worth the price. The service was bad, very slow. Staff ignored us for quite a while, and there was noone else in line at the time. They all seemed like they did not want to be there. I wouldn’t return.

Delicious ice cream, but very crowded inside.
Friendly employees, good size and tasty flavours
