I love Four Fat Cows. Do I regularly forget that they're not too far from me? Fortunately, yes, because otherwise they would have all of my monies! Creative, super delicious flavors in addition to many of the "usuals" for less-adventurous ice cream appreciators to enjoy. The staff are always friendly & happy to provide tastes of different flavors while you agonize over which one to go for on that visit. An additional factor that really sold me on this place was an experience during one of my first few times in, when just in front of me in line was a parent + a kiddo with Celiacs, there for the kid's first-ever ice cream cone. I'd of course already seen that gluten-free cones were on offer, but I saw the staff really take care in terms of ensuring no cross-contamination on utensils and practicing all the appropriate precautions for folks who really can't risk any gluten. I don't need to be gluten-free myself, but kudos to any eatery that takes food allergies/dietary restrictions seriously (and matter-of-factly-- no one seemed the least bit put out about accommodating them, but both workers present were chatting with them and happy to be part of this fun first experience getting to enjoy a "normal" childhood treat!) and provides options for folks who may not be able to enjoy such things at many places.

Four Fat Cows has lots of fun flavors of ice cream to select from and options for cones. The puffy cake cone is huge! It's made fresh to order so plan to wait a few minutes for it to come hot off the "waffle" iron. The seating options inside are great but don't miss the fun outdoor seating that's 100% no smoking. We ordered the brownie sundae and the banana split. Both were tasty! The brownie in the brownie sundae is crispy chunks of brownie rather than a cakey slice (still good!).

Someone should tell the owner they can't call cows fat anymore. We all woke now I will not? Just a little levity. Like the fact that this is a local place and has a sense of humor of the place. The person behind the counter provided fantastic service tonight. There's only one person working the entire store, but she was efficient and super friendly. I had the chocolate ice cream with almonds. Unfortunately the almonds were almond flakes sprinkled on top versus kneaded into the ice cream. Also, the ice cream was a bit hard and I have to let it sit to soften. Other than that it was yummy.

Stopped in while in Athens en route to NC. This place blew away all expectations. My wife and daughter said this was some of the best ice cream that they have ever had. A+ Highly creative flavors. The blackberry cobbler which I had was out of the world.

Cozy and warm ice cream place and bakery. They have both gluten-free and not gluten-free ice cream as well as lactose-free ice cream and lactosey ice cream. They also have gluten free cupcakes. And don't forget about the bubble waffle cones!
