Cows

Banff Town


Banff Ave isn't Banff Ave without an omnipresent queue snaking out the door at Cows, a product of Prince Edward Island. Cows' 30-plus ice-cream flavors are topped by the epic Moo Crunch, an extra-creamy blend of chocolate and peanut-butter cups that may well be physically addictive. Other choices may include Fluff n' Udder, PEI Apple and Moo Maple.

The slogan is 'Wish moo were here.' One taste and you'll wish moo were here too!
