The Comfy Cow

I know ice cream and in my mind Comfy Cow can’t be beat. Their flavors are inspired and delicious. I’ve been to their locations several times since living in Louisville and they never disappoint.
The scoopers are always knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Can’t decide? They’ll give you a free taste.
The flavors are delicious. They’re unique blends of ideas that come together to make awesome ice cream. There is nothing average here.
Keep up the great work!

I came here today with my girlfriend and her little brother while we were on vacation. Her aunt told us how great this place was, and we decided to check it out. Boy, was she right. I had the cookie dough ice cream and one scoop was definitely not enough. Highly recommend this place.

Comfy cow is my life… jk, well actually it may be lol. I absolutely love it! Their ice cream is the best I’ve ever had. It surpasses Ben and Jerrys, JP Licks, Coldstone, and any other ice cream you may have previously enjoyed.
Their take on my favorite, cookie dough, is the best you’ll ever have! Cow tracks is better than the traditional moose tracks as well! However, the best thing at comfy cow are their unique favors, especially their seasonal ones! This past visit I had the pumpkin flash jack, and tried several others. So so yummy!
My home store is the one on Frankfort ave, however I stopped by this one today and was greeted with friendly faces! It’s smaller than the one on Frankfort, but still very comfortable!

Chocolate Mint Chip is my favorite. I tasted the Fireman’s Special– it was really good if you like coffee ice cream. My friend loves the Buckeye.

There’s not a better Bourbon Ball Ice cream in the entire world. I’m sure of this.
The makers of this incredible treat use another Louisville favorite: Old Forester. The Bourbon also makes an appearance in another favorite of mine: Simply Southern.

Great ice cream place! The choices all look delicious and plentiful. The place is cute and trendy looking, somewhere you just want to sit, enjoy your treat, and admire every item in the wall and the ceiling.

I love Comfy Cow! How can you not? When visiting this location it still seems like I’m walking into Heine Bros (what was there before). There’s a charm to the Frankfort Ave. location that I miss when visiting any of the other Comfy Cow locations. This location still feels like a coffee hang out to me.
Each location has dozens of flavors to choose from! With that being said I can’t really name a favorite flavor. I usually end up with a different flavor every single time!
The one huge perk that this location has is the people watching patio! You can watch the people & the traffic to what could be one of the busier intersections in Louisville. I always sit outside at this location since I don’t like the inside. That also keeps me away during the winter months.
The ice cream is top notch. It might not be my favorite ice cream in town, but I’m glad we have it. Any visitors that come through… I always send them to Comfy Cow. It’s a must!
Story time: When this location first opened, there were two other frozen dessert options at this intersection. I was puzzled on why we needed three dessert shops at one intersection! Obviously one of those options closed down, but the other one is still kicking. This past weekend I wanted Comfy Cow while my date wanted frozen yogurt! Luckily no fights were had! I ordered my Comfy Cow ice cream! We then walked across the street & she ordered her frozen yogurt! Perfect!
I hope the two businesses stick around so that couples/​families don’t fight over ice cream vs froyo!

Big selection of flavors to pick from. Fairly priced and friendly staff. When the weather is nice, the patio is great. My flavor was a chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cookie chunks. It was delicious. I look forward to trying more flavor.

We stopped here during our quick stop in Louisville, but this is a cute place to sit down and catch up over some ice cream or quickly grab some ice cream for the go.
There were unique decorations throughout the place which made for a really home-​y feel.
I got the kids sized scoop of ice cream and it was just enough after a heavy brunch!

We came twice during my visit. The first time was amazing! The second trip they were a bit busier and the guy didn’t clean off the ice cream scoop from a peanut butter-​tasting ice cream before scooping my cheesecake ice cream. So, I had a somewhat different flavor than what I wanted. Overall, great ice cream and very quaint atmosphere!

One of my favorite locations of Comfy Cow. Inspired from the Frankfort Ave store, this one brings the quirky décor and homey feel to this location. You almost feel like you have been transported to another place as you get ice cream at Comfy Cow before returning to Bardstown Rd. The flavors are aplenty, the service is superb, and this quirky escape for ice cream should be on everyone’s to-​do list as they walk Bardstown Rd.

I have a love-​hate relationship with The Comfy Cow.
I absolutely love all of the unique flavors that are available. It is hard to find an ice cream shop that carries flavors such as Old 502 Sangria, Jelly Doughnut, or a Spot of Tea (my new favorite after my last visit!). There are choices abound for the foodies and all the classics for the traditionalists. The location is ideal to visit when strolling down Bardstown Road on a summer night. For the locals, it replaced the old Heine Bros.
Ample seating is available inside for those that want to lounge on the couches as well as outside for a dog lover. There are even frozen treats for dogs to keep cool!
The «hate» part of the relationship is that The Comfy Cow has ruined me for other ice cream places. I can’t enjoy a pint from the grocery store or even from somewhere like the Homemade Pie and Ice Cream Kitchen because I know they can do better.

Whoa, this place is so good! They have a bountiful selection of fun and unique ice cream, but they also have the classics as well as some yummy looking bakery items. I had a small sundae and I think the whipped cream was somehow better than the ice cream. Both were out of this world. The atmosphere is fun and very eclectic. The only thing I didn’t like was that you have to ask for a key to get to the bathroom. The key is attached to this big wooden thing and I thought it was pretty gross to have to carry around and then go eat. Plus, I had to wait at the counter for a few mins in order to ask for the key. Other than that, it was a great experience.

Hello delicious homemade, natural flavor, no preservatives ice cream! Funky atmosphere, helpful friendly employees, and samples to settle on which flavor to buy. I had the monthly flavor «Chatty Cathy» which is fresh roasted coffee ice cream full of chocolate covered espresso bean goodness, AND dark chocolate chips. PLEASE make this a permanent flavor! Love. Love. Love. He had the bourbon ball ice cream which made up for missing the tour at Jim Beam. Very rich strong bourbon flavor. All of the flavors tried were yummy and super soft as if just made. They even have homemade dog ice cream for which you could enjoy with your furry friend on their nice patio.

This adorable ice cream dots the region.
With unlimited samples, comfy seating and generous scoops your my fitness pal calculator will not like this, but you will!
Although I enjoyed the flavors, some of the ice cream had freezer burn. While I can forgive a few icicles on top, in my butter pecan inspired ice cream the nuts weren’t blanched (the nuts had the skins).
Suddenly I was biting into pockets of pure ice and had the film of pecans linging my teeth. I was forced to throw away half of this treat for fear I would need to floss in the middle of the street.

My current favorite ice cream spot in Louisville. All of their locations, of course!
My absolute favorite flavors here are pistachio and salty caramel. Try them both, side by side in a cup. Such a great combo!
The other offerings besides ice cream are tasty too. Try a chocolate dipped banana if you are looking for a lighter dessert. Or if you brought your pup with you treat them to a pup pop! I bet they will love it as well as you love your dessert.
So glad we have this local gem in town. When you go, ask about the huge sundae that they offer. It is ice cream insanity and would be super fun to share with someone! I dare you!

I’ve got a new favorite Ice Cream place in Louisville!
I love the Comfy Cow in general, and this Highlands location is close to some of my favorite haunts. As before, I’ve never gotten the same flavor twice at any Comfy Cow, and the flavor on this visit was «Cow Tracks». I highly recommend this scoop of chocolate and peanut butter goodness, and hope you’ll take my advice to get larger than just the small serving that I got on my most recent visit.
This particular spot is small on the inside, but has some great outdoor seating for when the weather is warm. I was greeted promptly, and the person helping me indulged my desire to try a few flavors before I decided on which one I wanted for my visit that day. Like I said, «Cow Tracks» was the winner on this day. I could barely wait to get outside and savor the flavor, but once I grabbed a chair, I enjoyed the ice cream and the people watching equally.
The location at the corner of Bardstown Rd and Eastern Parkway makes it a guaranteed hotspot, as it’s convenient to a number of restaurants, and provides a great space to watch the world go by as you enjoy the goodness that is the Comfy Cow.

If you are going to eat ice cream, eat this ice cream. Chock full of goodness. I love any ice cream with ice cream «accessories» you know the extra yummy bits.
They were patient with my friends and I sampling 84 957 349 857 flavors and we didn’t taste a bad one. In fact the pistachio may have been life altering.
If you have a hankering for ice cream the calories are worth it here.

Though it is located in the frozen-​dessert-​saturated intersection of the Highlands, I think they’ll do just fine. Especially because I’ll choose Comfy Cow over the other options almost any day.
Comfy Cow has the best cookies and cream ice cream I’ve ever had.
The only problem with this location that I had was the mirror situation in the bathroom. C’mon! Be all cutesy everywhere else! Just gimmie a mirror in the bathroom to check mah-​self.

The newest Comfy Cow has been calling to me since opening up at the top of my street several months ago.
Finally, tonight, I answered its siren song of sugary, creamy goodness.
And now I’m at home, full and happy.
This Comfy Cow is smaller than its other store on Frankfort Avenue, the only other Comfy Cow I’ve been to, but it has all of its flagship store’s charm packed into the tiny space.
I love the big C-​O-​W lights on the wall facing the front door. The wall covered in used paintbrushes made me think about where they came from — I mean, were they used when Comfy Cow got them or did someone have to make them that way especially for this wall?
The chandeliers cracked me up – one is made of ice cream scoops, and the other one looks like it’s covered in sprinkles.
The mannequin on top of the Coke cooler is a bit creepy yet fun. And if you walk down the hall to the bathrooms — the doors of which have the chest parts of dress forms attached to them and painted to look like ice cream cones — you’ll see colorful murals on all of the walls.
I know all of this sounds really weird, but trust me, it works in Comfy Cow’s kooky, pink-​splattered way.
But the ice cream, the reason you’d come to Comfy Cow: As always, it was oh so good.
I ventured away from my Comfy Cow fave of Dulce de Leche de Salte to get the Cow Tracks, peanut butter ice cream combined with Reese’s peanut butter chips, dark chocolate pieces and chocolate-​peanut butter fudge swirl.
This ice cream was thick; it didn’t seem to have been whipped with air as some cheaper ice cream will be. Because it is so thick, it took me a decent amount of time to eat my scoop, which helped me definitely feel satisfied afterward.
This location also has some prime outdoor seating that looks out onto the busy Eastern Parkway-​Bardstown Road intersection. And Comfy Cow has special frozen treats for pups too. Bring them on a walk and reward both of you with cool treats!
