About Us - Holy Cow it's Wholly Cow
Holy Cow… it’s Wholly Cow®.
Since 1984, Wholly Cow® Ice Cream has been serving up smiles in historic Charleston, South Carolina. What started as a small, family-run dream has grown into a local favorite — proudly family-owned, veteran-owned, and deeply rooted in our community.
We’ve been churning out happiness for more than four decades, crafting small-batch ice cream and sharing it with restaurants, hotels, food trucks, and ice cream shops across South Carolina. If you’ve enjoyed a scoop somewhere local, there’s a good chance it was Wholly Cow®.
But we didn’t stop at ice cream.
With a passion for flavor and craftsmanship, we brought that same dedication to Wholly Cow Coffee — featuring locally roasted Charleston beans, thoughtfully sourced and perfectly roasted to highlight the natural character of each origin. Rich, smooth, bold, nutty — every cup is brewed to be as unforgettable as our ice cream.
At Wholly Cow®, we believe in simple ingredients, honest work, and doing things the right way — the way we’ve done them since day one. Whether you’re stopping in for a scoop, sipping a latte, rocking a Wholly Cow hat, or serving our products in your business, you’re part of the herd.
Thanks for supporting local. Thanks for supporting family.
And most of all… thanks for choosing Wholly Cow.

Local Roasted Small Batch
Wake up and smell the Wholly Cow Coffee
Our Wholly Cow coffee beans are locally roasted right here in Charleston, South Carolina, using 100% whole-bean Arabica coffee to create our own signature house blends. Smooth, bold, and full of flavor, these beans are crafted to deliver a cup that’s as rich and memorable as the Lowcountry itself.
Whether you’re brewing your morning pick-me-up, fueling a busy workday, or savoring a slow weekend sip, Wholly Cow Coffee brings big flavor and small-batch quality to every cup.
You can grab our house blends in our shop, online, from select retailers, or wholesale for cafés, restaurants, and businesses that want to serve something truly special.
Locally roasted. Thoughtfully crafted. Seriously good coffee.
Drip, Latte or Espresso
Our coffee is perfectly roasted to bring out the natural notes of each bean, highlighting the unique traits of its origin while delivering rich, balanced flavor. Whether you’re enjoying a classic cup of coffee, a hot or iced latte, a velvety cappuccino, or a bold espresso or americano, every drink is crafted to let exceptional beans shine.
