"My experience at Cows Rock was fantastic! First, I was warmly greeted by the scooper. I asked the polite scooper what he suggests. He told me to try Maine Black Bear and it was the best ice cream flavor I every had and it was the best scoop too. He Also as soon as I walked in I noticed how clean and good it smelled inside. I saw some blonde kid who was cleaning the shop nonstop. All of the employees seem to be nonstop hard workers and very nice people. Furthermore, they have the best hot fudge!! I suggest this ice cream store because of the wide range of ice cream flavors and kind staff!"

"I like this place. We bought icecream from the shop 3-4 times. Price is pretty decent and icecream tastes good. They are prompt in service. Only thing I want to mention is that the flavours on website menu are not all available. I hope the shopkeeper will try to include all in the menu mentioned in stock."

"Today we purchased slushes from Cows Rock — two root beers and a mango. The root beer slushes looked and tasted just like root beer soda. However, my mango tasted more like a peach but still good. Great for a hot day."

"Not from the area and was looking for a nice ice cream spot to get a banana split with my daughter. Came across Cows Rock, and was very pleased all around. The woman serving was polite, the banana split was so yummy and a cozy little store. Wish I lived closer, but I will definitely visit again if I'm close by."

"I love visiting this ice cream store it’s quality product with a great staff. I especially fond of the owner and watching him teaching kids/employees responsibility and manners. It’s a quality lost nowadays and he certainly refuses to let it die. Kindness and work ethic Exist at this establishment."
