"This place is very generous. We ordered the mini waffle platter and it was anything but mini And it came with 2 cappuccinos for R165. Might need to share it between 4 people. It was delicious. This could be a really successful franchise."

"The Moody Cow, It is not your typical Ice-cream experience they serve gelato and for a good reason, because it's not just ice cream. It's so much better with a smoother tast and such an experience from the usual Ice-cream shops.The menu has other things like waffles, gelato puffs and they have great coffee."

"To be honest, every time I visit Moody Cow, their ice cream never disappoints. I’ve tried a few different ones, but the Ferrero Rocher flavour was easily my favourite. It honestly felt like I got to enjoy Ferrero Rocher chocolates over and over again, but in the most delightful ice cream form. I was so happy with every lick lol. Highly recommended"

"Stopped by Moody Cow for a quick treat and really enjoyed it. I had two scoops of gelato in a cup — good service, fast and friendly. The cotton candy flavour was a surprise hit and much better than I expected! Overall, a solid gelato stop with plenty of fun flavours. Would definitely come back."

"I went on an ice cream tour across Johannesburg and I must say, Moody Cow was definitely the best of the 5 places that I tried out. The flavours and sweetness really was an experience to say the least. On top of that they have so many different options to choose from than just the standard ice cream cone. I will be coming back to try more from their menu very soon. From a customer service perspective, the waiter was fantastic. Really attentive, helpful and kind. Unfortunately I never too his name down but @Moody Cow please pass over our thanks. He would have been working on the 14th of Feb 2025 around 17:00."
