The Cow Lick

One stop I recommend you make when traveling on Route 97 in New York. A cute ice cream parlor offering a large assortment of delicious ice cream. I had the French Roast coffee flavored ice cream with a scoop of their delicious chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles for less than four dollars. Both flavors were outstanding and worth the price. Please note their ice cream is not made at The Cow Lick, instead they offer Perry's Ice Cream, New York's very own ice cream brand. Based in Akron New York, Perry's Ice Cream has been manufacturing ice cream for more than 100 years, and they have technique down to a science. The staff at The Cow Lick are super friendly, and go beyond expectations to ensure customer satisfaction. There are picnic tables with a canopy on the right hand side if you to quickly enjoy your ice cream. There are days on the weekend, depending on the time of day, you'll see a line of eager ice cream fanatics waiting patiently to buy their portion. Ample parking is available, plus there's a unisex bathroom available. Enjoy ☺️

Wow! Not expecting Perry’s ice cream to offer so many exciting new flavors. The scoops were huge. Will definitely go back next year. Worth a visit.

They serve Perry's hard ice cream. And they also serve soft serve ice cream. They have cone options as well as cups. Many different flavors, from plain vanilla to Kahlua amaretto, Birthday bash, pistachio, cannoli flavor ice cream. With Strawberry, hot fudge, caramel, butterscotch toppings and more! Picture is kids size birthday bash with chocolate sprinkles and eyes.

The cow lick was a quick pit stop for us on the way to emerald glen. We enjoyed their soft serve. I highly recommend getting the purple cow. Purple cow is a mix of vanilla and black raspberry

I was on my way to reload my truck and I decided to stop at Cow Lick ice cream, that is where I met Kathy, truely one of the nicest people I have ever met. I soon realized I left my wallet in my car back in New Hampshire, all I had was about 3 dollars in change, kathy looked at me, smiled and said don't worry about it, you just order whatever you like, we'll let me tell you the vanilla caramel sundae was delicious! I was shocked and sooooooo grateful for her generosity to me, a complete stranger !I hope you will stop by and have a cone or sundae, you won't be disappointed, and please let kathy know Bob the trucker says hey!

Always the coldest and most hard ice-cream in our area.less air so doesn't melt fast and you can enjoy the lick longer

Awesome ice cream!! Service was fast and friendly. This place serves one of the best chocolate malt milkshakes I be had in my life, and the prices are very reasonable. Will be going again and highly recommend to anyone look for a great roadside ice cream stand.

Amazing ice cream! They've got a wide selection of choices. They serve both soft serve and hard ice cream. The hard ice cream is "Perry's" brand, which is a spectacular New York brand of ice cream, and I highly recommend it. The soft serve is creamy and delicious, and great for kids. My personal favorite is "Panda Paws". Anytime you're passing through Hancock, definitely go here.

Nice little drive-in along 97 in NY, near Hancock. After a long paddle from Hancock to Long Eddy, the ice cream tasted glorious! Wide selection of flavors from which to choose. Expansive parking area and a nice set of picnic tables alongside.

Great little ice cream stop. I go there at least twice each year when visiting Hancock for the Quarry Run Dual Sport. This year, I was done for the Saturday ride and made a stop. They have Perry's so I had to get my favorite, Rocky Mountain Raspberry. Before I left I asked if they could sell me a roll of quarters so I could wash my bike but they didn't have enough change. Instead, one of the nicest ladies behind the counter offered me some quarters from her purse. And she wouldn't let me pay her for them. She had the cutest freckles too. Way over the top nice. This is a must visit from now on.

Great little spot for a treat. I tried the Lemon Chilli for something I'd not seen elsewhere and loved it. We had a group of six, all different orders, and everyone was pleased

Ice cream was decent (my coffee flavor was just ok but my wife's amaretto almond was very good). The spoons, however, were way too flimsy to attack the hard serve ice cream. It became a very difficult task.Also, it's 2019, please stop using styrofoam cups.

Pretty location. Ice cream is good. Soft ice cream is more dense than in other places, but still good. I couldn't finish a large sundae 😊🍧

A nice variety of flavors. They let you mix hard scooped ice cream with soft served. The pricing is decent and the service is fast. Yummy

Delicious ice cream and friendly employees, but no one working there was wearing a mask while preparing food. Other than that a wonderful ice cream stop!

Great milkshakes, nice location. Prices are a little high, but the high quality ice cream makes it worth it.
