OMG. happened upon this place after hiking at the Taos ski area. Started with incredible lavender ice cream (mixed mine with coconut). What a treat! Â Decided to get sandwiches for the drive back to Santa Fe and so glad we did. Generous and creative too. Brie and turkey, and roast beef with roasted red peppers on ciabatta were delicious. Thanks!
Review Source:Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Biked into town. They have a bike rack and a private parking lot. They have nice outdoor seating and a great atmosphere inside.
BEST ice cream ever!!! Great food options. I had the Turkey sandwich and loved it. Â Employees are great to chat with about the town and the area. I'd totally recommend you stop by!
$5 credit card limit. wonky wifi connection for me, but my friend connected oaky.
They serve food food here (as opposed to ice cream food), but I haven't tried the food yet because ice cream food always wins. I recommend the pistachio white chocolate. Great place to sit and watch locals + tourists mix in a small space. Don't forget to check out Rottenstone Pottery across the street.
Review Source:I had the pistachio white chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone. It was good and different. I'm taking off a star for the price....one scoop for $5.50 ($1 extra for the waffle cone) !! They have a rotating menu of a bunch of different flavors. There were probably 8-10 flavors to choose from when I was there.
Review Source:A cute little ice cream shop right on Arroyo Seco's main street (only street)? Â The ice cream is homemade and features fresh, all natural ingredients. Â I'm lactose-intolerant, so didn't actually have any ice cream, but my husband tried the peach flavour and really enjoyed it. Â Prices are a bit on the high side (I want to say about $4/scoop? can't remember) but ice cream should be a treat and not a dietary staple, right? Â :) Â Their baked goods are also very good; I especially enjoyed the blueberry muffin (see pic in my yelp profile), as it was chock-full of berries and a decent size (i.e., huge)! Â Sandwiches are also yummy and large; I had the BLT and the bacon was sliced into thick strips of porkiness. Â If you are ever in the Taos Ski Valley or Taos proper, check out this local gem.
Review Source:I once wrote a haibun lyricizing the small-town charms and cordial ambiance of Taos Cow for my creative writing class, but at the time, I was also embarking on a lonesome diet and didn't get to try any of their famous ice cream.
In fact, all I had was a toasted bagel... the poem was undeniably incomplete.
I came back (on a sunnier day) two years later, anticipating a really good lunch break from a 27-mile walkathon for Taos Feral Feline Friends. 11 miles from our starting point, none of the walkers were worried about extra calories. Lunch began with hearty pastrami sandwiches that packed crunchy veggies, sugary-soft caramelized onions, peppery meat with toasty melting cheese, and a spicy kick of horseradish on toasted bread, complemented in full by the deli pickle served on a side of crinkly paper. I wondered why I'd spent the last visit dieting when I could've had a sandwich instead.
But dessert-- the denouement-- came in the form of super heavenly scoops of simple, rPBGH-free homemade ice cream. Though words like Mexican Chocolate, Cinammon, Lavendar, Pistachio and Piñon Caramel enticed me, it was fresh peach that won me. Light and icy, rich and creamy, it had a subtle peach-milk flavor that lingered in my mouth among the chunks of fresh peach.
What else? Besides being named a "top 10 U.S ice cream shop" by Bon Appetit magazine, Taos Cow's owner Jamie Leeson is also a fellow Golden Bear from Cal, and an annual lunch donor to the TFFF walk-a-thoners' cause. What a godsend.
I have nothing negative to say about Taos Cow- the only setback with my crazy ice cream eating debauchery stemmed from TC's generosity and a lack of foresight on my part. It's likely that everyone but me knew that 3 scoops of ice cream (delicious as they were) wouldn't bode well with really hot weather, rigorous exercise and 10 more miles down a dusty, sun-soaked strip of highway. But who cares? Lactose-intolerant as I was that day, it was so worth it.
If you're ever in Taos (which you very well might be; the skiing/hiking/lounging is great) you'll know where to stop for ice cream.
Bottom Line: Feels more homespun than Ici's.
Stopped on our way back from Tim's bistro in the Ski Valley when I got bad info that it was open on Halloween,
This place had good lunch and great sandwiches in Arroyo Seco. It appeared to be one of the few places around and had an obviously local crowd. Â I had a huge turkey club with crisp bacon. Even tough I was ravenous, I could barely finish it.
There was an early snowfall, temp in the 30s and the place had only baseboard heat, so I didn't think twice about having the ice cream.
Ice Cream (4 stars) + Sundae (2 stars) = Overall ice cream experience (3 stars)
WHY would you go all out with local, "natural, no rBGH", gain a reputable spot on Bon Appétit's top 10, and then insult your ice cream with canned, icky whipped cream and thin, hershey's-grade "chocolate" syrup?
My advice to you if you go to Taos Cow: keep your ice cream unadulterated. Say no to sundaes.
Taos cow is a must stop when in Taos! Â I was riding up the chair left with a local and she said I had to eat here on my way home! Â I am glad I did! Â I had the hot Italian! Â Roast beef, pesto, mozzarella cheese, tomato and lettuce on a cibata bread. Â I very good sandwich! Â I didn't try the ice cream but from the look of the other reviews, it must be good!
Review Source:Great ice cream. Â Really, fantastic ice cream. Â My favorite's the blueberry. Â The frozen blueberries pop in your mouth. Â Ahhhh. . .
Taos Cow used to serve my favorite sandwich in the world; a hot roast beef sandwich on a french roll, toasted lightly with provolone cheese.
The last two times I've been in there, they've been out of french rolls and just substituted whatever bread was closest. . .
It's a bit pricey for lunch, and if they're going to be making choices for me on bread selection, I'd just as soon give it a pass.
But the ice cream is definitely worth a stop and there, you'll get what you see.
Have you ever wondered what pine nuts taste like in ice cream? Is it a crime to want your lavender blossoms in a cup or a cone? For some of the most unique flavors in ice cream you may ever see (or eat rather!), the Taos Cow has it. Another fabulous place to visit, especially after hiking in the Taos Ski Valley. You can't beat a sugar rush after oxygen deprivation at 11,000 feet!
