Summary
On today’s episode, we sit down with Mike Schifino, Founder and Creative Director of Holy Cow Ice Cream Café, a Massachusetts ice cream empire with locations across the North Shore and Cape Cod. Mike shares how he turns wild flavor ideas into small-batch, in-house creations, balances gourmet innovation with classic favorites, and navigates the challenges of growing a food business while maintaining quality. We dive into what sets Holy Cow apart from competitors, the behind-the-scenes chaos of running a kitchen, and how social media has shaped their brand.
