The Brown Cow Ice Cream Parlor

I was in the mood for an ice cream and being in Oak Park I was going to Coldstone creamery. I decided to Yelp it and I found this jewelry . Friendly service and a good variety of options.

"Brown cow" is also is the name of the root beer float , the parlor's signature drink . The root beer float ($3.99/$5.25) is created from scratch and brewed in-house. Read more

Ask for 2 half scoops to make a whole. (For example: 1/2 cinnamon + 1/2 scoop chocolate = a scoop of awesome)

Portion is large - I had one scoop of butter pecan ice cream on sugar cone and it was more than enough. Good ice cream , especially the home made ones.

So many great flavors of ice cream and treats in a beautiful old building that takes you back to your childhood

The pecan pie is AMAZING! Definitely get the whipped cream on top. I get a different flavor of ice cream everytime I go. You'll never be dissapointed.

I love this place—they make delightfully creamy, chewy (does that make sense?!) ice cream . Never disappointed by a scoop.

I have never had a flavor I didn't like. My favorite is the banana cream pie . Get the ice cream in a homemade waffle cone you will not be disappointed!

Try everything! Seriously, this is a staple for years. Try their baas brownie fudge thingy - awesome!

Awesome service they even have dairy free whip cream if you ask and can make vegan ice cream pies

They always have a few excellent non-dairy options with soy creams or sorbets .

Best ice cream in the area! Try the chocolate peanut butter

The inside looks an old movie house from the 1920s. The one man serving from behind the counter was a pro.

Had a brownie sundae , took a slice chocolate cake & pumpkin pie ! Everything was good.
