The Cow Cafe
An "Udderly" Unique Dining & Shopping Experience
Delicious Lunch, Dinner & Homemade Ice Cream in the Heart of Historic New Bern, NC
Bringing Smiles for Over 22 Years
The black and white Holstein awnings are the hint that Cow Cafe isn't your ordinary eatery. Nestled deep in the cow country of New Bern, North Carolina (or Moo Bern in cow language), we serve a full line of sandwiches, wraps, salads, plates and, of course, over 60 flavors of our famous homemade ice cream!
While we might not be considered a "fine dining" restaurant, the menu has expanded and we now offer a full line of sandwiches, plates, wraps, salads, soups and special desserts. Come visit us at 319 Middle Street in historic downtown New Bern.
