"Last season we made it to The Pink Cow a couple of times for a nice ice cream jaunt out to scenic country Alden. I caught wind of The Pink Cow 's existence on Facebook, due to their 'Names of the Day ' giveaway. Our first trip was on 'Ava Day ', for our daughter to cash in on being named Ava with a free scoop! Follow The Pink Cow 's Facebook page to keep an eye out for your own name! The Pink Cow is a small ice cream stand that somehow manages to pack into it TONS of options, and more workers than it seems should fit in there, to make the abundance of choices! One side of the building is walk-up window ordering, with several outdoor tables. The other side is the drive-thru line, which stretches down across the plaza parking lot, as needed (the line can get long). Oh, and the building is hot pink. So you can 't miss it! One STELLAR feature of The Pink Cow is their wide range of vegan options! They have some vegan hard-scoop flavors in the hard-scoop lineup. But they also have vegan soft serve every day! There are also vegan milkshakes, vegan cookie ice cream sandwiches, and vegan milk bubble teas! It is rare that our vegan daughter has too many options to deal with at an ice cream stand, but The Pink Cow really gives her LOTS of vegan food for thought! :-D And of course The Pink Cow has all of the dairy choices you 'd expect to see at an ice cream stand, too. Hard scoop, soft serve, flavor-swirl soft serve, a litany of specialty sundaes, milkshakes, Blizzards (they call them Blender Benders), slushies, snow cones, and the new addition of bubble tea this year. Anything we have tried has been pretty good, with fairly reasonable prices, consistent with other ice cream stands of this nature. One other dietary restriction FYI, I did notice several menu mentions of gluten-free options, too. The whole menu on the building does a good job of listing allergen information on most things. So if you 're vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, soy-free, egg-free, sugar-free, fat-free or some combination thereof, they menu is marked to help you land on something that suits your needs. If you live near Alden, you already know about The Pink Cow. But if you 're Buffalo or Buffalo-burbs-area folks looking to take a little country ride that culminates with a fun ice cream (or non-dairy cream) experience, take a roll out to The Pink Cow. And enjoy! :-D"
