Delicious Ice Cream and Homemade Waffle Cones, Friendly Staff and Budget Friendly Prices!! Even Puppy Treats!!!
I should stop going here! Ive gotten fat, but its easy to rationalize why I should treat myself to their custards!
I live near the pink cow, and me and my family go all the time, and every time it’s wonderful. The staff are always so kind and hard working, and they have so many great options, not only for ice cream flavors but also for what other treats you can get. They have so many options, and every time no matter what I get it always tastes amazing. Sometimes the line can be long but that’s expected with suck a popular place and honestly the lines are worth it.
Quaint ice cream shanty in Alden. Outdoor seating only. Custard and and a good selection of ice cream.
Well its one of the few places in Alden to get ice cream while enjoying the gas fumes from cars and trucks from both the drive-through side and the street side. Whats the point of drive through ice cream anyway? The line would be handled twice as fast without it, and youre still getting the opportunity to sit and enjoy yourself without inhaling all that CO poison.
OMG the Key Lime ice cream with chunks of crust in it is mind blowing!
Some of the best ice cream I have ever had
Cute little stop. Always busy but they are fast too. Friendly and polite. Lots of flavors of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and custard. Even a gluten free option and treats for the family pup.
Kailey Wasch was very rude to me and made my experience quite unenjoyable, also very ignorant people
The young men and women who work there are terrific. The custard is wonderful. If you like Almond Joy candy bars, you will love the Almond Joyful sundae!! Im hooked!
Very good ice cream. I believe they serve Perrys ice cream. They had a good selection of flavors. The staff was very nice albeit being short staffed. The line for the drive thru was very long and the walk up line was to the fence.
This place is the only place around I can get peanut butter AND Nutella crispies
Overcrowded, but super friendly and good sundaes
My wife and I LOVE the pink cow. Great ice cream, whether it’s a Blender Bender, hard ice cream, milkshake or a sundae, they never disappoint. The portion sizes are above average, and the price point is just right.The staff is always very friendly and they often donate to local charities or help out the boy/Girl Scouts. With specials multiple days of the week, and now a free small ice cream of you happen to have the name of the day, what is there not to like?If it’s a hot, rainy day, they also have a drive thru, which is a nice added bonus. They also have about a dozen tables that can fit 6 people if you just want to hang out and eat your desert there.
Delicious, fast and appreciate the friendly safety reminders to be socially distant but enjoy.
Great service, delicious desserts.
Amazing.. great selection and service, plus a drive in AND and outdoor sink for cleaning you and the kids! They really care about what the customers want!
The pink cow is by far my familys favorite place to go for ice cream. Its a great experience everytime we go. They have lots of different flavors that you dont see very many other places.
Best ice cream place ever!! Great unique flavors! You wont be disappointed!
A little ice-cream shop with big options. They have everything you could ask for and it’s the best ice-cream I’ve ever had.
This tiniest of ice cream shops is one of the best around WNY. Plenty of parking even for those traveling with campers and a drive thru. This cant be said for most of the other local ice cream shops. Selection is great, but our favorites are the hand made custards in the waffle cones. They have the everyday flavors, but each week they have a special flavor. Cant wait for the pumpkin custard this fall. Yes, their prices are not cheap, but then again none of the private ice cream shops are.
Always love their icecream. The line was long (out onto the road) but they do their best to keep up with the demand. The staff is always friendly too.
Always friendly ad gets your ice cream or sundae out fast. They fill your cup to almost over flowing. Only draw back are the cars waiting in line. Not all of them go to the end of the line they cut in even after you waiting 20 minutes to get to the sign.
Best place to get ice cream & have fun.They do fund raisers, support causes. The girls that work there are so positive, kind..Waffles the cow is the Mascot.Very positive environment!!Deserves 10+ ⭐⭐⭐
Sorry to say but its a little over priced and they dont fill your cup of ice cream to the top with out you asking for it. Several times my ice cream did not even reach the brim of the dish. Green acreas has lower price and they give you a great portion of ice cream...
Ive only been here twice. Both times I was there I had a great experience. Great customer service, and great deserts. Ill definitely be going back more often.
The line was long (into the road). I have dietary restrictions and they are always out of sugar-free ice cream. They are the only place who has sugar free! I bet there ice cream tastes good😶. Theyre always out tho😕.
Came for our dogs birthday believe it or not! Their dog treat is great lol. We always eat here tho with our without the dog. Amazing ice cream and great service
Always good ice cream
I was near the drive up window, hearing the person taking orders at the window. She was great, very nice, friendly, and she needs some recognition. Great job.
We are so looking forward to when the weather warms up here in Alden that we can once again start going to this establishment enjoying the wide variety of ice cream that they serve there.They have tables outside that you can sit and enjoy whatever it is that you have ordered is kid friendly
Best ice cream in Alden Ny
Great variety of ice cream. Could use some more shaded areas to enjoy the ice cream while youre there
This is a review for the Cheesy Van now located next to pink cow, but not located online anywhere..Anyhow the chicken in the Buffalo Bill Mac and cheese was basically like rubber and the Mac and cheese barely had any cheese and tasted like hamburger helper macaroni. save yourself money and a bad meal and JUST get ice cream when you visit pink cow!
We absolutely love The Pink Cow! With an ice cream shop just down the road, well drive to the next town for our favorite ice cream! The selection is great, prices fantastic and the customer service is surpurb! In all the years theyve been open weve never once had anything less then an exceptional experience.
Its just amazing ice cream!. I really dont know how they do it. Really big menu. The girls are really nice . the milkshakes are amazing. Probably the best ice cream I have ever had. If you live in buffalo cheektowaga ... A HOUR AWAY. COME TRY THE PINK COW. SOOOO WORTH THE RIDE!!!!
Nice place to take the kids for ice cream. Could have better shaded area to eat the ice cream. Theres always these monkeys showing off In their diesel pick ups. Blowing smoke up & down the road and parking lot while youre trying to eat dessert with your kids.
The ice cream is good but it takes forever to get served. They also don’t keep tabs on the line so a lot of cutting in happens. Because of the line wait we usually avoid going here.
A great place for some ice cream. I had a peanut butter cheesecake sundae that was awesome!
Their ice cream floats are the best...I even bought a t-shirt...its so cute...go now
The ice cream is pretty good and they have a lot of options, but service can be slow, especially when theyre busy, its like they cant fit enough workers in the tiny building. Also the prices can be ridiculously expensive, and some workers can be a bit rude.
I love it here! Yes the prices are a little higher BUT the servings are HUGE. I love their custard selection! Can’t find flavors like that anywhere
Great ice cream and fun place to take the kids. They have bubbles for kids to play with and music playing.
Very nice place to get any kind of Icebreaker you can think of. Lots of seating! Big ice cream cones and fast service. Lovely place to grab yoyu after dinner treats.
I will pass four other ice cream shops just to get to this one. Long line but always fast service. Its worth it. Have vegan options too.
Come check out the Pink Cow for amazing ice cream. They have soooo many different flavors and different ways to enjoy them. The long waits are worth it!
Great fun atmosphere!
Always friendly service! Sometimes its a good wait! But its worth it for my ice cream!
Excellent icecream place, very friendly, all out side. Perfect place to relax and enjoy
The ice cream is tasty, served in homemade waffle cones. Hannah talked to us about her business. She is a wonderful engaging entrepreneur for her business.
Way over priced, cant give correct change without the calculator even then got it wrong, really slow service. We wont be back. Could have gotten 3 containers of Perrys at Tops for almost what we paid for 2 small dishes.
The Pink Cow is a great small local business. Theres a large selection of ice cream flavors. Recently they added a food truck serving burgers and the like.
Pink Cow is a great. Family loves going there. People are always friendly. Their custard and ice cream are great.
Great place, drive up or sit in. Lots of flavors, all types of sundaes and much more. The Mexican Sundae and the Reese Peanut Sundae are awesome...delicious
Pink Cow is our favorite icecream spot. It has a wide variety of both exclusive and common flavors, generous portions, fine customer service and reasonable prices.
This business is owned and run by a family that CARES about their community. They are an assets to the village of Alden. They are extremely generous and always give 110% with donations, fund raisers, and community events. Cant wait for the food truck! YUM 💗🐮
The ice cream was great. They usually have a pretty long line but its well worth it
They have varieties like no other! Its absolutely delicious, and the customer service is great! No complaints here I will definitely be back!
This is a GREAT PLACE we travel from Buffalo at least 10 times a month variety is great there is no indoor serve however who cares it is still FANTASTIC
Love the Pink cow 😍 its a hometown favorite with tons of selections and a very friendly staff. My favorite is the blackwater bath sundae and my daughter likes the raspberry milkshake with real raspberries
Long line... very popular... excellent variety of flavors
Had a $5.00 cherry float and it was worth every penny. Drive up window and walk up window. Clean tables and area. Nice place.
Love their ice cream...very thick and large portions..worth the money spent
Great ice cream menu!! So much to choose from!!
Love this place. Cannot wait til it opens each year and get sad when it closes for the season. Obsessed with the mango smoothie...but the varieties - - off the charts!
Pink cow has great Ice cream boba and color changing spoons!!!
A really nice place. Made me feel like I had ice cream in a board game. Great ice cream!

2022-07-18Great little ice cream shack in the middle of Alden. Only thing that turns me away is the lines.My kiddo is always getting coupons through her school for free ice cream here (they love it). Love that theyre active in the communities surrounding them.

2022-05-19Always love going here, they can be busy but the wait is worth it. Their ice cream is unbelievable and very tasty. Love the sundaes and cones.
Review №4
2022-05-28I went with my dogs to get them doggie sundaes. I was expecting a cup of vanilla soft serve with a Milkbone biscuit like we had gotten in the past. What I received for my $2.75 each, however, was a pre-packaged silver dollar sized waffle cup that stood about an inch high with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and peanut butter swirl. I was extremely disappointed and felt ripped off. Not what I have come to expect from Pink Cow.

2022-06-16While i was at the pink cow, Kailee was being extremely mean to me and my friend and even told him he smells bad. he smells fine. this experience was very unprofessional and should be looked into immediately.

Review №9
2021-12-20I rarely write reviews but I will if something really impresses me. I have a lot of experience in the ice cream business and this is the best ice chocolate/vanilla ice cream cake Ive ever had. The frosting is amazing, the chocolate fudge. Not too sweet. Very very good. 2 thumbs up.
