About

Runaway Cow is a small South Side ice cream shop built around creamy oat-based soft serve, snowstorms, sundaes, and nostalgic novelties; the menu also includes vegan Chicago dogs and sandwiches. Cones are praised as affordable, but seating is limited and there’s no restroom, so it’s best suited to a quick treat or takeout.
