Black Cow Ice Cream

Really homemade ice cream same owners for many years very y good service the best around in Millis you have to try them

Black cow was good, but not great. There are a few other ice-​cream places in the area that are definatly better. I also thought there prices were rather high.

Maple bacon ice cream. Need I say more?

Quite simply, the best hand made, small batch, ice cream in Massachusetts. Period.
Using only high butter fat cream and incorporating very little air this is the definition of hand made, small batch ice cream. While all of the usual flavor are available, take a chance and try one of the weekly «special» flavors. Among those, the «sweet cream with cranberries» is a classic combination that harks back to the hand churned ice cream we used to make on those hot summers evenings using fresh cream from the local dairy. Mind blowing.
Is it expensive, surely. Is it the worth every penny: undoubtedly!

Just had a bowl of Chocolate Ice cream purchased last summer on last day of season. The last of my two quarts, that were hiding in rear of freezer.
Damn good stuff. Can’t wait for April reopening

I just want to say I’m astounded with how pricey this place is. All I wanted was a kiddie sized ice cream. And what I got and paid for is ridiculous especially in this economy. It was a tiny cup that had half a scoop of ice cream in in. Cost 3.48 really? 3.48 for a kiddie ice cream. That’s around the price for a pint of ice cream. I don’t care if its home made ice cream. Such a rip off. Plus a regular is 2x times bigger than that and costs .30 more. Wow. I will really not go back there and give my business to surrounding areas where a kiddie size ice cream is half the price of this place!

Really great little ice cream place that I got to try when visiting friends in Holliston. From the outside, it’s rather unassuming, but the inside space is super cute. The ice cream was delicious! I had banana oreo and gingersnap, and both of them were delectable, down to the last drop. Black Cow has a lot of unique flavors, as well as the standards. My boyfriend is a huge homemade ice cream fan, and he raved about his as well (Kahlua chip and something to do with mud… mud pie, maybe?). The fudge, displayed on a counter inside, also looked amazing, but I was able to resist, since I had completely filled myself up with ice cream. Definitely on my list to try for next time!

A must stop if you’re headed to Medway Lumber, across the street.
Favorite flavors are oreo and mint chip. We always buy it in quarts. Also, they have little frozen yogurt cups for dogs, which is far too indulgent, but funny. And the dogs like them.

Pretty good ice cream but very pricey. Not exactly service with a smile but it seems to be high school kids so not unexpected.

I was very disappointed the last time I was here. I orderd banana Oreo hot fudge sundae. It was all right. But cost me like 7 bucks for a sundae. My friend is a big coconut person. So she got that flavor. You would’ve thought they’d put actual coconut flakes in the ice cream, nope just flavoring. She also got the red velvet cake to take home for her son. It tasted nothing like red velvet. When I think of ice cream I think of actual real flavoring and texture. I’m also disappointed about prices. Wasn’t impressed at all. Rather go to bubbling brook! So much better!

Best local homemade ice cream.

My favorite is the ginger snap or ginger snap with molasses ice cream! Can’t find those flavors anywhere else! Only downside is the price– but I guess the fantastic ice cream makes it worth going!

I think I’ve tried most of the coffee heath frozen yogurts in Eastern MA, and the Black Cow has the best, hands down. I love that their yogurt tastes like premium ice cream, and the huge toffee pieces are a great addition to the smooth coffee frozen yogurt.

Great handmade ice cream, but very expensive. And the bugs ourside make me want to eat in the car.

Moved to the area almost two years ago, and found this gem shortly thereafter. WOW! If you like homemade ice cream, you’ll love the Black Cow.
Decorated like an old-​school sodapop, with a friendly staff, The Black Cow is definitely worth a visit. Three dozen or so flavors, each as creamy and delicious as your favorites from chains like Coldstone or Friendly’s. And, it’s a Phantom Gourmet Hidden Jewel, which doesn’t hurt.
I highly recommend the Mint Patty.

Phantom Gourmet praises this place for a reason! Even though it is located in the small town of Millis in-​between a bunch of industrial companies it is a shining star!
Where else can you get homemade ice cream where they use a whole SLEEVE of oreos?! Or supremely generous portions for that matter.
From Phantom’s Review:
«Ice cream lovers stay till the cows come home for flavors like Red Raspberry Truffle, Orange Chip, and Crème Brulee. The Smore ice cream tastes just like that campfire classic, with mini marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate chips mixed into chocolate ice cream.»
This place will make you think you’ve died and gone to ice cream heaven!
Will have to wait until April to enjoy the savory tastes of Black Cow though… since they have closed for the season *tear*
You can bet I will be there in April for the return! They also have a pizza place in the works. Will be really cool to have pizza and ice cream all under one roof.
Now if only they stayed open year-​round!

Le sigh. When I was in high school (eons ago) I dated a boy who lived near here. We would go to the Black Cow and get one large black raspberry with extra-​extra-​extra chocolate jimmies to share. So yummy.
Figures I would marry a guy who does not like ice cream.):[
Hate,

ps. I have heard great things about the café/​bakery as well.

Get the Root Beer Float made with their own Root Beer. Good stuff.

Oh sweet jesus, I love me some Black Cow! This stuff is just creamy heaven. I loved the peanut butter oreo ice cream. Everything is fresh and tastes like it’s made with all natural ingredients. I go to the one in Natick on 135 (not listed on Unilocal for some reason). Definitely worth checking out, way better than all the chain ice cream stores.

This place is an ice cream shop during the summer, and a coffee shop/​bakery during the winter. They have lots of flavors. I like their mint chocolate chip yogurt. There are a bunch of tables to sit at inside and enjoy your treat. It closes pretty early though (i think around 9), so beware, in case you get a sweets craving later at night.
