Lazy Cow Creamery — Restaurant in Cookeville

It's hit or miss with this place when it comes to flavors and selection. They don't have every flavor available all the time and this last time we went they didn't have any chocolate, vanilla, strawberry or their signature skittles flavor that I love. Everything they had was a unique created flavor that I didn't care for and I brought 6 kids with me that are picky and didn't like them either. We did find Cookie Monster that was pretty good though. Also they were out of cones. They said they had a busy weekend so were out of a lot of basic flavors but it wasn't even spring yet so I can imagine how it'll be in the summer. I have been here before and they had all flavors available and when that's the case it's great, problem is you never know what they will have on the menu at any givin time. They have plenty of parking but it's in a hard to get to location with no dedicated turning lane at a busy intersection. And the entrance in a very narrow road going up at a very sharp angle because it's up on a hill so big vehicles have a hard time squeezing in. Also both the entrance and exit roads(they're separate) have a rough transition from steep slope to the level main road that will cause cars lower to the ground or scrape. My Dart scraped and it's at stock height while my SUV had trouble squeezing through the narrow entrance(we took both cars cause we had so many kids with us). So overall the ice cream is good, if they have what you're looking for at that particular time, and flavors change throughout the day. So I have had really great experiences there with nice helpful employees and also not so great ones with uninterested employees not explaining the flavors. Hence is why I'm giving it an...

If you're a true ice cream lover, Lazy Cow Creamery is an absolute must-visit. Hands down, they have the best ice cream I've ever had—no exaggeration. From the first bite, you can tell this isn't your run-of-the-mill scoop. It’s rich, creamy, and tastes homemade in the best way possible. You can actually taste the love and care that goes into every batch.

My personal favorite flavor is “Silly Old Bear.” It’s got this cozy, nostalgic vibe—like a dessert version of a warm hug. The flavor is unique and delicious, and I was thrilled to discover they sell it in cake form, too. Having it as a frozen cake is incredibly convenient—I keep it in the freezer and slice off a little whenever the craving hits. No more rushing out to get my fix!

Another cool surprise: they sell freshly roasted coffee beans from local roasters. If you're into good coffee, definitely check it out—the beans are top-notch, super fresh, and a great bonus to an already amazing ice cream stop.

The prices are more than fair for the quality you’re getting. The only downside? The parking lot. It’s more than a little awkward to get in and out of, so just be prepared for that. But honestly, it’s a small inconvenience for something this good.

Highly, highly recommend Lazy Cow Creamery. Once you try it, you’ll keep...

This week we called in and ordered a dairy free ice cream cake from Lazy Cow for our daughter’s birthday party yesterday. The manager and staff are absolutely amazing! Dairy free is still new to us, and I have way too many questions and they happily answered every one. The staff even kept in contact with us after our order to keep us updated on the process and any changes that needed to be made. Fast forward to Sunday, we went to the bakery and picked up our cake. The staff was efficient and got us taken care of even during their busy day. We got home and the party was about to start, when I received a phone call from Lazy Cow informing us that we had received the wrong cake. They offered to drive all the way to my home to give me the correct custom cake I ordered, since we had received a premade dairy free cake instead. I told them as long as it was dairy free that it was no worries on our end. We love Lazy Cow, and this weekend proved just how far they will go to make sure their customers are taken care of. Don’t pass up on this company. The staff, the ice cream, everything...
