About The Jolly Cow

The Jolly Cow is known for its delicious soft serve and large ice cream cones. The soft serve is described as unique, flavorful, and the creamiest you’ll find anywhere. The ice cream sandwiches are a popular choice—better than anything from a grocery store—and the price works out to a little more than a dollar a piece. For malted chocolate, it's said to be the best in the tristate area. Remember to specify syrup and malt powder. Gluten-free cones, sugar-free, and dairy-free options like sherbet are available.

It's a popular spot for families with children, and the prices are reasonable. The texture is silky, flavors are balanced, and the soft serve is served at the perfect temperature. Tables out back are shaded and clean. Just be cautious with the large soft serve cones on hot days as they can melt quickly. Service is pretty fast, though hours can be inconsistent, and they only take cash. Sometimes the music is loud, but the seats are decent.
