Nuo Cheng

The staff was attentive, the mooey ice cream was so good

Dixie Lai

The owner, Shelley, of Colonial Charm Inn in Charlottetown recommended us the COWS ice-cream in Cavendish. She says not to miss the freshly made waffle should we try. Indeed it was great! …

Antonio Cheltenham

Amazing icecream

Alee Shannon

So good!! Many great and unique flavors and the staff was great

Richard Filion

Busy place but amazing experience, especially if you have kids. They are really good at following their brand. There are tons of ice cream flavor to choose from. Lots of boutiques around the boardwalk as well. Overall a nice spot to stop if you are on vacation or if you want to try a new flavor of ice cream.

Mario Saab

Beautiful location great for family fun

Andy Gilbert

The icecream at cows is great, a fair of selection of stores, craft an clothing.

Delicious. Great shirts too.

Ryan Benedict

Kiddos had a great time there, the staff was great

Jody Gervais

Nice shops, very touristy. Needs bike racks.

Ken Haduch

Didn't get ice cream, but CALL to check the hours. Google is reporting that it is open until 11:00 PM, but I just called (September 19, 2016) and they are currently reporting "open until 5pm". I want to try the ice cream, but want to save you a needless trip!

D Campbell

The BEST ice cream. Nice selection of Cows branded apparel.

Catherine Castonguay

(Translated) Good ice cream and there is a huge variety. The wait is worth it! (Original) Bonne crème glacée et il y en a une très grande variété. L'attente en vaut la peine!

Play area was fun

Robert Metcalfe

Fast service and clean Subway.

Long lines but worth the wait.

Go to the boardwalk every time we visit the Island! Lots of little shops and cool gifts, and beavertails at the end to top it all off

Monica Mehmi

???? try the moo York cheesecake icecream and the chocolate covered chips!

A.J. Choudhry

My kids lived it. They also have a location in Niagara Falls.

Chantal Boudreau

Best ice cream ever! Great service :)

Valeria Degiovanni

This is cream with sugar, artificials, colorants. I felt sick and my son too.

Deryl Gallant

Best ice cream in the world

N EB

Was told this was a ‘must’ to visit while on PEI. While it was good, it is not worth all of the hype. $26 bought us 4 single scoop cones (which are not small by any means) with 2 sprinkle and 2 chocolate rimmed waffle cones. Found the flavour of the cones to overpower the ice cream itself rather than complement. We tried bubblegum, coffee, Oreo, and chocolate flavours. If you’re craving ice cream you’ll enjoy it, but did not feel it needed the special trip.

Bev Murphy

Always make a yearly visit

Rene Kortstra

Cows ice cream is nice, but too pricey

Jenn Hunter

So cute and am charming and everyone was friendly

Joshua Ryan

Gooey Mooey is so good! Waffle cones made fresh. Great spot on the boardwalk.

Drew Hosick

Great ice cream. Not surprising considering the awards it won. The 20 minute wait was will with it. If you like espresso or coffee the Carmel macchiatto.

Kevin Bennett

Yum

Jorge Dias

It's a nice place to visit when you visit Cavendish

Arthur Godin

Very busy but ice cream was worth it

mia chealy

It’s a nice boardwalk area. The lines in Cow’s are ridiculous and don’t move the fastest. The shops are nice, mostly all have the same items.

One of the best spots to go if you’re visiting the island! It has all kinds of shops and good food to go around! Make sure you check out Cows Ice cream when you’re there, it’s a treat! All the staff at the shops are super friendly and helpful too. This is a must for any island vacation!

Eric Hind

Fantastic ice cream. Worth the effort of standing in line

Stephen Mack

Mmm... Good ice cream

Alysha Flagg

Cows is always packed but the staff do a great job serving everyone quickly and with a smile. They have a flavour for everyone and have delicious house made cones. My personal favourites: wowie cowie, pei apple crisp and the peanut dipped cone! So good!

Doug Szabo

The fantastically long line moves fast, with nearly Disneyland efficiency. Ice cream is very creamy. Delicious. Milk shakes, too. Maximum variety of Cows adornments and garments.

Darcy See

Love this place! Great ice cream!

Jeff Cronk

Best ice cream ever

Nader Nadernejad

Such a fun place filled with memories. Cow's ice cream is delicious and I had to get a whole bunch of their fudge when I was there. Picked up a couple cheeses too and they were fantastic. It adds to the sunny, happy vibe that Cavendish provides to its visitors.

Mrs All Season

Best ice cream ever. even though its busy... the staff are quick

Erin Vieira

Add vegan ice cream!

Wynne Whitten-Holmes

COWS IS THE BEST

Arthur Ireton

OMG!! THE BEST EVER!

Athena MacIsaac

What a great place to shop and get some souvenirs.

Mark Haynes

Amazing icecream.

Bee E

The ice cream is good but overpriced. The kids serving were very slow. It took half an hour to get 4 ice cream cones. And it took 5 workers to change the paper towel so the staff could wash their hands ????‍♀️

R. C.

Great icecream. There are lots and of flavors to choose from. It is good to know that the price changes based on the type of cone you choose

Samantha Swinamer

Cows is always a must when we visit Cavendish each year. The ice cream is delicious, although a little expensive. And it is always fun to look through the silly shirts and sweaters.

Karine Poitras

Good stuff, great staff!

Charles Rivet

Probably one of the busiest Cows on the island, same high quality product!

Steven

Great ice cream

Mohammad Jaffery

Loved this place. The boardwalk is just so nicely setup and all the people are welcoming. Also love the tshirts and ice cream.

Tonya Reesor

Best ice cream...anywhere! Don't be fooled by any other treat stops along the way. COWS is worth the line up & the extra price.

Clark Bilawchuk

Massive lines, takes 15- 20 mins to get served. The also don't have as many flavors as the other locations on the island. Cows is still good ice cream, but this location is too small for the crowds.

Kim Downton

Nice shopping. Great places to eat.

Nathan Case

Had a single scoop of Royal COWnadian Mint. Ice cream and waffle cone were both delicious. They were well set up for social distancing while lined up. Many flavours both classic and unique.

Jerry White

Really good ice cream in an incredible array of choices. Not cheap, but very good.

Mary Kurtas

Can't visit the Island without stopping here!

Jeneal Luft

Great flavors and delicious waffle cones.

Cow's ice cream mmmmm, what else can i say????

Dave Maher

Great ice cream

William “Ray” Drysdale

Nice spot to spend a few hours. Shopping, food and fantastic ice cream ????

Alec Pringle

The ice cream is top notch and there's so much to do, its got it all 10/10

Michele Gibney

So far I've been there/that area three times and 2 times without much of a line but tonight the line was out the door. There is a chocolate shop next door with tons of candy if you don't want to wait in line for ice cream but the ice cream is totally also worth it if you're not in a hurry. Delicious and many fun flavors.

Craig Durling

Too expensive.

Nick Karanasos

Closed for the season, looks like it’s only open in the summer

Hamid Mirza

Some of the best ice cream in the world. The fresh taste perfectly crafted with delicious flavours makes Cows ice cream the deal. Would highly recommend moonicorn, and cows in general.

Andrea MacDonald

Everything was amazing and we can’t wait to go back!

Chakib Krika

Just amazing for holidays

Alain Girard

Such great ice cream!! This location can be so busy at times, but always worth the wait. Staff are great and friendly!

Jonathan Henderson

I mean what can I say. The ice cream is good but you have to take it outside to enjoy it. Covid and masks and what not. But yeah good stuff for the most part. Pretty quiet in Cavendish right now. With summer coming I hope things pick up for them.

bradly williams

Best ice cream

Tyson Chenier

Mmmmmm

Phil Bryan

What a place! First time here and every shop had amazing staff. Cows ice cream was truly off the hook.

25 minute line. Very warm inside. 3 ice creams are almost $20. The flavors are hit or miss.

Tasty ice cream, very pleasant and cheerful staff. Prices are a bit high but if you're looking for real ice cream made from fresh milk and cream, this is the place!

Jay MacKenzie

Delicious ice cream. Like the unique flavors. It is pricey

Don Gray

Not great

BENITA Sabean

Very disappointed to arrive at Cows this evening and see that no physical distancing measures were in place. We looked into Cows and saw approximately 20 people in line, all within a foot or two of each other. There was no max number posted for entry either. I would have expected such a large chain to be more proactive in fighting the spread of COVID-19. We opted for another icecream parlour down the road that was doing a great job of promoting physical distancing.

Theresa Butler

Awesome

Alice Lingley

Was awesome

Mark

Not cheap, but a fun stop, great service, and great ice cream. You can always find a new flavor to try and enjoy. This is on our Must stop list when we visit the Island.

Ben Wervers

Just a tourist grab. Every place has its ice cream shop PEI is the same Chapman’s or Ben and jerries. Way over priced

Trevor McCormick

Great selection of ice cream. Lots of funny cow related clothing and other items.

Donna Height

Best ice cream I've ever had! So worth the visit. We loved all the cute t-shirts ???????? and other merchants offered.

Kevin Pond

Excellent ice cream!

Ashley Manzer

Love the ice cream. Could use some reorganization in terms of being able to pay BEFORE you get your ice cream. Also needs a new spot for sanitizer that is more convenient.

BuffyAbric Abric

Love it ❤️

Jake B

its COWS, enough said.

geri walsh

Good food

Chanel Halverson

This is our traditional stop on our family vacation every year. Be ready for a long line up, but it is worth it. The portions are large and well priced. The shop has a good variety of quality merchandise and discounted clothing outside. Highly recommend.

Devin Skinner

Probably the best milkshake I have ever had can't say anything about the ice cream because I never tried it but if it's anything like there milkshake you will not be disappointed

Valerie Smith

We never got to go in .it was so busy.

Mitchell Stewart

Great spot with friendly staff, but quite expensive based off portion sizes.

Diane Lebrun

(Translated) Varied ice cream and the shop too, smiling staff. (Original) La crème glacé varié et la boutique aussi, personnel souriant.

Salma Bakr

One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had. A variety of flavors and generous portions. I’ve been to another Cows shop in Niagara on the Lake, but surprisingly it was neither as delicious nor as generous as that one in PEI. Thank you for making my visit to PEI extra special.

Rob Fraser

Beautifully inviting atmosphere!

Garth Jensen

The island is a beautiful place to visit. The boardwalk is a nice collection of shops and eating establishments.

Agathe Singleton

Good icecream. Slow service.

Bryan Hendry

CLOSED early Monday. No cowiewowie for us.

Brent

OK imagine if Ben & Jerry's had a Canadian equivalent. Well imagine no more. Voted best ice cream in Canada by Readers Digest magazine. The only challenge is which of the dozens of flavors will you pick?

Lacey Swaine

Great place to spend the day rain-or-shine lots of little stores for clothing and trinkets. Visit COWS icecream for a large variety of flavors.

Barbara Magiera

(Translated) Delicious ice cream !! (Original) Pyszne lody!!

Fahim Kakar

Very busy but the lines move steadily. The ice cream is fantastic!

Rachel Macleod

I went to get a half litre of ice cream this evening and the staff was quite rude. A young guy named Colby(?) took my order and it was dead in the store yet he took ten minutes because he was gossiping with his co-workers. When it was ready he just thrust it at me, wouldn't look at me, and just walked away to continue chatting. The experience was disappointing to say the least.

Shannon LaBobe

Love taking my grandkids here durnung the summer..best place to be

Andrew Waye

Best ice cream on the island

Christa Welton

Favourite ice cream hands down! A must for our yearly trips to PEI

Grand icecream

Tammy Alizadeh

Love it

Anna Maria

(Translated) Pleasant surprise with so much taste and special creation, three different ice creams and all three were delicious! Different cones to enjoy each flavor and a reasonable price given the tourist location. (Original) Agréable surprise par autant de goût et de création spéciale, trois glace différentes et les trois étaient délicieuses ! Différents cornets pour profiter de chaque saveur et un prix raisonnable vu le lieu touristique.

Jim King

Excellent Staff and of course fantastic icecream!

Chris Dorion

Delicious ice cream! Especially love the little gift shop that is attached to the ice cream parlor.

Reg MacWilliams

Best ice cream in PEI

Bill & Lynne

I am from Wisconsin, the Dairy State, which has a LOT of *really great* ice cream -- but, I daresay, COWS is even better. I think it is primarily better because of all the good "stuff" they pack it with -- YUM!!!

Hadjer KHIMOUD

(Translated) Nice place (Original) Nice place

Lee CH

Staff was super helpful and friendly. I have a Gluten allergy and after speaking with staff members I had no fear of eating the chosen flavours.

Alif Dharssi

Great ice cream!!

Isabelle McIntosh

Albert Marks

Nice country little shops cute village

Dima Smi

Very tasty!

Heather W

There’s a reason it’s the best ice cream in the world!

Patrick Bättig

(Translated) "Super fine and exciting varieties of ice cream" We have become big cows fans in PEI. We love the different types of ice cream such as "Death by Chocolate", etc. Although there are long lines in front of the sales counter. But the sales principle is quite efficient, so you do not have to wait long to get your ice cream in the hand despite the long queue. It is also particularly cool that the waffles for the ice creams are made fresh and taste heavenly. We went there almost every day. And we would come again and again. (Original) “Superfeine und spannende Glacésorten” Wir sind in PEI zu grossen Cows-Fans geworden. Wir lieben die veschiedenen Glacésorten wie zum Beispiel "Death by Chocolate" usw. Zwar gibt es jeweils lange Schlangen vor der Verkaufstheke. Aber das Verkaufsprinzip ist ziemlich effizient, so dass man trotz langer Schlange nicht lange warten muss bis man sein Glacé in der Hand hat. Besonders cool ist auch noch, dass die Waffeln für die Glacés frisch gemacht werden und himmlich schmecken. Wir sind hier fast jeden Tag einmal hingegangen. Und wir würden immer wieder kommen.

Lynn Fairweather -Leinster

It's COWS it's wonderful

Sandhya Papineau

This is quite overhyped ice cream. I got the PEI strawberry in a chocolate dipped cone. It was very "icy" and not very creamy at all. The chocolate dipped cone was just meh. This is a hard pass for me. Very disappointing indeed. I much prefer Holman's in Summerside. The shop was clean and while busy, the line moved quickly. There were loads of cute cow-themed souvenir ideas including pretty trendy t-shirts as well as snacky indulgences.

Tom Banks

Great ice cream flavours and an awesome new staff for 2021. Go Lana. Fair prices for the scoops and wide selection of clothing and gifts. Support PEI and local business

Jonathon Stubbs

Great ice cream in many fun and interesting flavours.

Jenna E Lightfoot

We love COWS

A S

Asked for the most popular flavour in a waffle cone. Never had better ice cream and the waffle was fresh and crispy. A favourite with locals and domestic tourists.

Danny E.

Great ice cream and service. Although line was long when I arrived it did move very quickly.

Alex MacEwen

A boardwalk classic shop to visit and eat real ice cream with waffle cones made that day. The shop is great too lots of clothes and merch!

Melanie Yu

Second time having COWS ice cream, first time at this location and it was as amazing as the first. Right on the Boardwalk, it is a convenient spot for a quick snack while shopping through gift shops. Their chocolate ice cream is suuuuuper rich in flavour, their strawberry is extraordinary, the vanilla is creamy - basically all the flavours are top notch. The line is worth the wait.
