We went to this ice cream shop one night for dessert, which was great considering many other Ice cream places were closed for the season or for whatever reason. The staff here was nice, and we both thought our ice creams were very good. There is a display showing the various cones which included a pinecone that they were out of... They got jokes here - lolThere are lots of oddly named ice cream flavors on the menu, but not to worry, the staff is knowledgeable and knows the products well.I got the Monkey Around ice cream in a waffle cone. What's in it? Good stuff...This place is recommended and there are lots of good dinner options in this area.

The pine cone joke in the window was the height of the visit. The ice cream was reasonably priced and generous portion but was just meh.

Fast efficient and friendly service. Favorably priced considering handsome portions. Indoor and outdoor seating a plus. Nice touch having story books to read to your kids.

Happy Cow is my favorite place for ice cream in Laconia. The flavors are always in point, the servings huge, and the doggie ice cream cup is seriously adorable.

Overall good ice cream shop, portions are good and the hard ice cream is a little over standard quality. Still not that homemade type of premium ice cream but good regardless.

Don't just drive by if the line is long because the line moves fast, and it's worth the wait. There is a long list of flavors and sundaes. I'm a fan.

The ice cream was great and not unreasonably priced. The staff was very friendly yet professional. Indoor seating is a nice option.Personally, I would MUCH rather have larger scoops than a tower of little scoops that you keep expecting to topple over at any minute.

Cute little ice cream shop but i got raspberry cheesecake and it didn’t taste anything like cheesecake. It just tasted like plain vanilla with some artificial raspberry. Happy cow ice cream did not make me a happy cow :/ decent ice cream but not the best.

Very good ice cream, and cute interior seating space. They had a great variety of ice cream and it was good quality for the price. Unfortunately some of the staff seemed as if our questions about the sizes and flavors were unneeded and in turn had a slight attitude with some customers in our party. Other than these instances the experience was quite decent.

Good dairy free ice cream and their sundae sizes are great! If it's near the end of the season check their social media to make sure they're still open. If they run out of ice cream before the scheduled close date they'll shut down for the winter.

She handed me the cone and I say I paid for a medium it is 😮I could not believe the size of the cones!! My granddaughter got dirty water hard serve and she was very pleased!!! Very good service and you get your money's worth an then some!!!!

Best ice cream in the Laconia area! So many different flavor options, and the staff is super friendly and happy to serve you. Some of the flavors have different names so if it is your first time, you may need to ask what a few of them are, but all in all a great little ice cream shop :)

#1 ice cream place. Friendlys is my #2.happy Cows ice cream is irresistible and all around delicious. I go weekly to binge weekly in the summer with my friend and daughter or even just me and her. Great place for a treat. Not to mention they're always open I think May to December as well.

I love visiting when I'm home on vacation! Lots of specials but also great New England classics. Even on a cold and rainy day there's a line. The owner is very involved in the community and is always giving back. Employees are very happy to work there and are efficient.

Had the soft serve chocolate and vanilla twist in a waffle cone. Very good! The young lady who handle over fourty customers by herself and she did a great job! Parking can be tight on busy days.I recommend a visit.

This place is awesome!!! Delicious hard ice cream choices. Soft serve (creamy) and yogurt as well. Sizes are huge so order a size smaller than you usually do. Yummy!!

Hands down the best frappe/milk shake I've had in New Hampshire. It took some time to make but it was worth the wait. Parking isn't bad and it's easy to get here. I recommend Strawberry but the Oreo shake was a win for the kids.

Happy Cow Ice Cream is one of the best ice cream places that I have ever been to. My most favorite treat they sell there is their Rasberry Sorbet- it's delicious. :)I highly recommend this ice cream shop- it is quite lovely, and the people who work there give you your order quickly- and are very nice.

Happy cow is the best soft serve and regular ice cream in town! Plenty of space to distance, really nice and friendly servers, contactless payment, and yummy yummy flavors! Graham central is much more exciting than a Graham cracker! Happy Cow is our favorite!!!

I took my lab, Jack and Teddy a seven months old golden to celebrate Jack's 13th birthday. They had vanilla soft serve with a dog bone on top in a cup.... I also had a soft serve cone. I must say all enjoyed the treat.You can get gift card here also.
