Very consistent when I have come across them. Their ice cream selection never fails. My sister and I love to see them at Awesomecon. Love their gummy bear lemonade pops also.

Orange you glad I wrote this review? Otherwise you'd never have known how good this ice cream is... except for those other 45-and-counting reviews.
What to get: Coffee Oreo flavour.
And: Well other flavours are great too and the service is wonderful and humble.
What else: Wanna taste my Coffee Oreo flavour?
So the ice cream is overpriced to the extent that it would have to be pretty damn special in order to justify a 5-star rating. The problem with that is, though, that it is definitely pretty damn special. Some of the best ice cream I've had, and easily they best I have ever had from a truck.
I didn't expect much because I'm an ice cream lover and have very high standards. But this would easily be in my top 20 ice cream places in the country.
If you come on here and write a bad review about it, I may have a cow.
Like Logan said, if you'd told me there was premium home-made ice cream at a truck I'd have laughed and said have fun being a Hipster. I'd have been very wrong. It's premium, it's home made, and it's utterly freaking delicious.
Like Ishaan said, none of the choices are bad Mooooooooo-ves, and neither are moves like Jagger if you're Adam Levine. Bye bye Miss American Pie, drove the chevy to see Adam Levine but Adam Levine was high. And good old boys were eating Orange Cow Ice Cream singing, this'll be the day we get fat.

Dang you Orange Cow. I lost all willpower and headed straight for dairy and fat at the sight of your merry truck.
A $4 chocolate chip cookie sandwich with mint chocolate chip ice-cream was my undoing. The price point was such a tease.
I should give you a wonderful review but I am so conflicted at my undisciplined gluttony that I can only say, I hope I don't see you around again, because you will send me into another battle of taste buds versus mental diet plan.
You were simply delicious, and I agree, with the other reviewers, adequately chilled as ice-cream should be. You didn't melt straight down my fingers but held your own for the two blocks back to my office.

Oh my Lord! This little truck served the best ice cream sandwich I've ever had. I've dreamt about it since. Delicious chocolate chip cookies, perfect ice cream and friendly service. If you've got a sweet tooth and are craving ice cream, you will not be disappointed here!

This was the perfect lunch time find in the food truck park on a super hot day. The line was long but the crew inside worked quickly and we got our sundaes pretty fast - don't be too intimidated if the line is long - it's worth the wait. The mini fudge brownie sundae was great! There's also a good size list of fun ice cream flavors which I look forward to trying next time we're in D.C.

Amazing ice cream sandwiches!! There were about a dozen flavors and I sampled a few - I really liked the coffee cookies and cream and regular cookies and cream. Since the price is the same for a brownie sundae, a cup of ice cream, or a cookie sandwich - I went with the cookie sandwich - which proved to be an excellent choice! The cookies are soft and the ice cream isn't too hard. It got a little messy (totally worth it!), so I recommend getting a few extra napkins. Will be back for more, would definitely recommend!

I visited their food truck parked in L'Enfant Plaza. Got two scoops of their green tea ice cream. Such great flavor, unlike other green tea ice flavors- you can really taste the matcha.
HOWEVER, I was violently ill for a whole night into the morning after eating the ice cream. My friend, who had the same flavor (and hadn't eaten anything else out of the ordinary that day), experienced the same food poisoning. BEWARE!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ishaan K.Washington, DC3296200Aug 5, 2015
This place is udderly delicious. I come here once a week on cheat day for a delicious afternoon dessert. Tried most of the things on the menu and I have to say none of the choices are bad MOOOOVES. The ice cream sandwich is heavenly.
The owner is extremely friendly and loves talking to his patrons.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Jul 2, 2015
I've been wanting to try out The Orange Cow for a while now; doing a little mini food truck tour, I found them in front of the Smithsonian's American Art & Portrait, along with a handful of other trucks during the lunch rush. The Orange Cow is known for their hand-dipped ice cream made with natural ingredients. Their menu lists their ice cream flavors (Coffee Oreo, Green Tea, Chocolate Oreo, Peanut Butter Cup, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coconut Chocolate Crunch, and Banana Cream Pie), 'Mini' Fudge Brownie Sundae, Ice Cream Sandwiches (your choice of ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies), Frozen Banana on a Stick, Homemade Ice Pops, and Floats. Don't be shy in asking for samples, as the employee is very friendly and lets you taste as many samples as you want. I tried their Coffee Oreo (sooo delicious - concentrated coffee taste with bits of Oreo cookies throughout) and their Banana Cream Pie (sooooo good, as this was banana-y and yummy; literally a banana cream pie in an ice cream form!); both were so creamy! I chose to get an Ice Cream Sandwich with the Coffee Oreo; the chocolate chips in the cookies were large-sized and had plenty of chocolate chips throughout. The scoops of the Coffee Oreo ice cream were quite generous, which I really appreciated! I also purchased one of their Homemade Ice Pops - the 'Gummy Bear Lemonade,' which I've yet to try, but am pretty excited, as it's a long tube full of lemonade 'ice' with a handful of colorful gummy bears within :D I'd love to check out their Frozen Banana on a Stick as well as their floats next time. Service was super friendly and oh-so-nice, and you even get a little loyalty card (where 10 initials gets you a free scoop!); also, try to listen for their cowbell! :P Check their social media, as they update it daily on their location for the day :D
