The Magic Cow

Best ice cream ever! They have it all… delicious ice cream, creamy shakes, and a very friendly staff.

Amazing ice cream. We had the coffee with almonds and Heath bar. The owners are super nice, excellent product and excellent customer service!

I recently stopped into the Magic Cow on a very hot weekend evening around 5:30 pm. I was over heated and definitely cranky, but the lovely couple working cheered me up right away with their lilting Irish or Scottish accents and warm, friendly service. They made every customer there feel appreciated.
On this day, I had the strawberry skydive — Strawberry ice cream, mixed with Oreo cookies, fresh strawberries, and chocolate sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Not pretty to look at, but really creamy, balanced and fresh. I do wish it had been colder though, since it was already melting when handed to me and I hadn’t even stepped outside yet. I can hardly wait to have it again.
Before stopping in, I didn’t know Magic Cow’s ice cream was in the same vein as Coldstone. I don’t like Coldstone’s ice cream and probably wouldn’t have gone to Magic Cow. That would have been a major loss for me because Magic Cow is great.

This quaint and lovely little spot will steal your heart. There are lots of places with cold slabs and smooth ice cream, but this place is one of the best. The people that run this store are so warm and inviting. They will give samples of everything so you dont get stuck with something you dont like. The machine they use to make the ice cream is legitimately from italy so the ice cream texture and quality are incredible. On top of all that you get a free topping with a scoop! The prices are so reasonable and the atmosphere is laid back and old school. If you’re looking for a good place to do an ice cream date this is definitely the one.

Amazing ice creams, nice and friendly atmosphere. Andy the owner, is really nice guy. Good flavors and combinations. I’ll be back…

The Ice cream is the best of any place I’ve been. The Owners, Andy and Allison are friendly and are engaging. The shop is cozy and has outdoor seating as well. You meet some interesting loyal customers and have some great conversations with them and the owners. They make their own waffle cones and cups and have a big assortment of different toppings. My favorite specialty cone is the Banana Beach. It’s not on the menu but they will make it on request. It’s made with banana ice cream, bananas, walnuts, and caramel. They make their own ice cream and it’s fresh and wonderful. They’re open till 10 PM.

I wanted something sweet after work so I stopped by. The owner was, in at the time, and made my order. The ice cream is made in house and is very creamy. The toppings is put in the ice cream by hand so it is fresh. I enjoyed the ice cream and will come back in the future.

Very nice little ice cream shop.
As we always try to frequent mom and pop shops over franchises I was very happy to find this gem.
Competing directly against cold stone creamy (as it is a cold stone add in shop itself) it does a great job. The ice cream is all homemade and I was very impressed with both the texture and flavors.
My daughter order pink bubblegum and I was worried that it was going to be super sweet, but to the contrary is well just right. Great flavor with out the sweetness overkill.

Great service and the ice cream is delicious. My husband who isn’t and ice cream fan now goes once a week.

This is a jewel of an ice cream shop! Locally made, always delicious, unique flavors, and the friendliest owners. It’s a real treat just to go in and have a quick chat while ordering your amazing ice cream. Try combining two flavors for your own custom blend!

So good! I came here while visiting my brother. The ice cream is delicious and the staff is wonderful. Would love to come here again next time I visit.

Holy Cow!!!
We used Google maps to find an ice cream shop in our area… The Magic Cow — why not!
We have driven past this place 100s of times but never knew it was there — actually never noticed the various ships in the Plaza.
As soon as we walked in we were getting by the awesome Scottish guy behind the counter. He informed us of the various flavors at the counter and the ones in the freezer in back… We were able to sample as many flavors as we wanted till we we in a position that we couldn’t choose. Everything was delicious!
We were given 1 free topping and a free home made waffle cone. The banana was absolutely amazing and my gf got the Chocolate Jam (chocolate & coconut).
This is a MUST if your looking for dessert!

The owner is a charming Irish gentleman who is alway very kind when you come in. The flavors are great and it’s definitely worth stopping by! My favorite to get is the vanilla ice cream with in house baked brownies, simple yet amazing. The vanilla is award winning and you can see why. You can always taste test the flavors as well :)
They also be shakes and ice cream cakes. My boyfriend love the cookies and cream shake, made with cake batter ice cream. Rich and creamy!

Been coming here for over four years and will continue to come! They were originally on university near the Domino’s and burger21 but now they moved to the northeast junction at Griffin and University Ave.
Must try their red-​velvet chocolate delight. It has fresh pecans and brownies for the perfect flavor. Their cookie dough is a must have before leaving Davie. The owners are great. Very personable! All of the ice cream is made in house fresh.

Love this place! Love the logo! Owners is very pleasant and friendly. Most importantly the best ice cream. We will come back.

just tried this recently. Very delicious indeed. and unique flavors as well like german chocolate cake flavor yummy. and the owners are very nice as well.

Great little ice cream shop. «Cold stone» style where u pick your mixer. I tried the chocolate hazelnut and liked it so much that I got a pint to go. In the store I mixed cheesecake with strawberry and hot fudge. Outstanding. The service was terrific as well. Will definitely be back.

Best ice cream period! Andy and Allison are the best. Great customer service. Nice family friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

OMG. I never come straight back from a place and write a review but this place needs no second though. The ice cream is worth every single penny (and calorie). It is sooooooo good. There are so many flavors to choose from and they were ever so patient in handing out decent sized samples (one normal sized plastic spoon– none of those itty bitty spoons here).
The guy behind the counter was super friendly (I think he’s the owner) & just made the evening even more lovely. I had a bad day and this place instantly cheered me up. The key lime ice cream was out of this world good, I had half that and half birthday cake in one of their homemade waffle cones (which come free without an upcharge!). It also came with one free mix-​in, Coldstone style, for which I settled on rainbow sprinkles.
Seriously, the best ice-​cream I’ve had in years– I can only think of one better place and it’s far far away. This ice cream is the creamiest, smoothest tasting ice cream ever, and many of the flavors, including the two I got were completely homemade. Highly highly recommend this place, and will definitely be back! Prices are a bit less than what you’d find at Coldstone, and the product you get is more than worth it! New local favorite!

Small mom and pops. but the ice-​cream is homemade. Had the mint chip and it was creamy and excellent. Would come back. Very nice owners.

Great ice cream place. Owner is very nice! They have the cold stone were you can mix multiple ingredients. I had dark chocolate with coconut and pecans. My wife live the coffee ice cream.

Came here two days in a row! Very sweet owner. First night I got two scoops in a cup. Today I got a cake cone. I prefer ice cream shops like this one to chains like DQ and Coldstone. My boyfriend loved his root beer float.

Magic Cow is formerly Maggie Moo’s that used to be located in shopping the stip area more north on University Drive near the Tower Shops. Their new location is in the plaza just north of Tijuana next to the barber shop in the corner. Cute little place.
The owners (husband and wife team) are normally the only staff I recall working at the old location and it was the same here. They’re so nice and I could listen to them speak for hours with their amazing Scottish accents! They’ve definitely made this new location their own and it looks almost identical to their old location too! Nostalgic! Their refrigeration area appears to be so much bigger here so they have way more storage of ice cream.
Magic Cow has tons of flavors to chose from, more than I can remember from their previous location. They surely have something for everyone. I’m simple when it comes to ice cream and I’ll basically take anything that tastes good by itself with minimal or no toppings. He let us try anything we wanted on pretty decent sized spoon scoops. I chose the Sweet Cream flavor with my favorite chocolate candy Twix mixed in and added the waffle cone since they’re homemade. Yum! They have ice cream cakes and mini ice cream cupcakes for sale also! I definitely see a future rerun to the Magic Cows new location. Highly recommend a stop in for somethings sweet!

Well a 5 star review of this place popped up as I was browsing Unilocal and after reading more I had to try it. They did not disappoint. Friendly service and great ice cream. You can’t go wrong visiting the Magic Cow. The store is clean and cheerie. Here’s something new, ice cream pizza. Pick chocolate lovers or supreme, what a cute idea! Visit soon and often, I know I will.

I absolutely love the Ice cream and atmosphere here! My kids love coming to Magic cow and its so awesome how they always remember my family whenever they see us:)

The ice cream is homemade and delicious! Not too sweet, the prices are very fair! They have gluten-​free options, you get a complimentary topping, some of which they make in house and they fold in the topping with your ice cream! The best part, is the staff! Quaint Scottish couple! This is the first time going here and in would go back just for the level of care the owners put forth towards their customers. It’s a great place to grab a cone or even a smoothie and just relax. I recommend the dark chocolate ice cream! It was a delightful experience! I can’t wait to go back!

Real homemade ice cream made on the premises.
I for one don’t really like frozen yogurt. If I’m going out for ice cream I want the real deal, and Magic Cow is it. The owners could not be a nicer couple. Always friendly and accommodating to the kids, Andy and Allison have a great little ice cream shop where the product and the service are both outstanding.

We love coming here for ice cream. Andy and his wife Allison are really personable and make each visit great. All the ice cream tastes amazing. I haven’t tried too much of the other items because I’m hooked on the sweet cream and chocolate hazelnut mixed with some snickers and heath bars. Amazing.

Beat ice cream in town. The owners are very friendly and will let you sample everything. Everything I tried tasted great! I had the dark chocolate ice cream with strawberries and almonds and it was delicious. Will definitely be going back there soon!

I guess this place is all right but as soon as I looked at the flavors I was blinded by all the food coloring which really turned me off. Why does America think it’s necessary to color our food?

The family loves this place. Small with a personal touch and service.
Ice cream is great and tasty

This place was awesome. Very very awesome customer service. Last minute rush of like 10 people and they were greeted with a smile. Ice cream is made with 14% so it makes it really good.
Good selection of toppings.
Open later hours too.
Sweet ;) love this place

Lots of changing flavors, good toppings, and great service. We are so glad they reopened, finally. We take the family here a lot. Still trying the different flavors (cinnamon, carrot cake) so haven’t got to try a sundae yet.

This place was the best. I walked in and the owner gave us samples of every single ice cream he had. Not to mention the samples were an entire spoon full, no baby spoons. This place is basically a way better cold stone but family owned. I will definitely be back. Great experience.

After a seven month absence, due to relocating, Magic Cow is finally open once again. The ice cream and the owners, Andy and his wife, make this a location that I visit regularly. (I recommend the brownie batter malt)
