Of course, there's something extra festive about the Virginia Beach location. In our opinion, it should be illegal to drive through without stopping for at least one scoop!

The mission of Blue Cow is simple. As stated on its website, "We believe milk and cream can be a blank canvas to develop new and creative flavors, drawing inspiration from food trends, places we travel, or even day to day life."

One of the all-time favorite varieties is none other than Snickerdoodle. As you can see, this involves made-from-scratch cookies blended into the ice cream.

Or how about some of the famous Key lime pie? According to the business, this is one of the most-requested seasonal flavors.
