Nice selection of ice cream. However if the owner (a older man) is dishing out, he gives small scoops. Visit when any one else is working

Ice cream with a view? We stopped into this cute little ice cream parlor- located along the side of a residential home with a magnificent garden- the other day for a cone after seeing their sign advertising Mooney's Ice Cream beckoning us from down the road. I have to tell you, that roadside signage certainly worked. It got us to detour off our normal route and stop in, so who says roadside signs can't sway the public? Anyway, we found this shop housed in a small outer building next to a fairly nondescript residential home on Corunna Road. Who would have thought there was such a nice little ice cream parlor there just from driving past? I wouldn't have stopped had it not been for the signage down the road with the big arrow pointing the way. At any rate, they had so many flavors, my stomach started rumbling right then and there from the sheer number of choices. They even had no sugar added sherbet and sorbet for the health conscious crowd, plus plenty of malts and shakes in a variety of flavors. The girl was that waited on us was friendly and pointed out her favorite flavors, even offering us a sample before we ordered, although the manager/owner who was outside moving a business sign wasn't terribly polite. She gave us and another carload of people a bit of a dirty look that I found a little perplexing, as though we were bothering her just by stopping in. Weird. After scanning what flavors they had, I had my heart set on the Sea Salt Caramel Waffle Cone (double scoop), while my husband decided on a Maple Nut Waffle Cone (also double scoop), both made from Mooney's Ice Cream. I decided to leave the dark chocolate varieties that I usually prefer to our next visit. Mine was delicious, rich and creamy and filled with huge chunks of caramel woven into the ice cream. I would get that again in a heartbeat. At some point, I sampled my husband's cone, which was also delicious. He's a sucker for maple anything (syrup, sauce, ice cream, cake, etc), so he was impressed that it had plenty of natural-tasting maple flavor and nuts mixed throughout. Despite the heat, both cones held up to intense glare of the sun and didn't start melting quickly, which is a pet peeve of mine. I really hate that. Luckily, our ice cream didn't collapse into a puddle of sticky goo right away, even though it was nearly 90 degrees. Both waffle cones were huge. Double scoops of regular cones were $3.50 each, I believe, but waffle cones cost extra, so our tally was about $8.00 for both of us. I thought the prices were pretty reasonable and the ice cream quality and size did not disappoint, either. We sat outside on the rear patio, where we enjoyed our ice cream while taking in a view of the gorgeous gardens out back. Row after row of beautiful flowers and shrubs surrounded the patio area. I must admit, I never would have known they had such a cute garden oasis out back, judging from the front of the building. Now, that's a way to enjoy an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. One caveat, though- it's strictly "look, but don't touch." There was a sign warning customers not to walk around the garden. As for the parking, it was a bit congested and limited, at best. The parking lot was tight and didn't allow for too many vehicles to enter/exit at once. Truthfully, we had a difficult time getting a parking spot and more people showed up after we did. Something should be done about that. In other words, if four or more cars show up at one time (on top of the employees/owners vehicles), good luck getting a parking spot. You probably won't find one. One plus, though- they're open late every night (til about 10 or 11 p.m.). Like most ice cream shops, they're seasonal. We were told they typically close for the season by Oct. 1. I wouldn't exactly say that I'm "over the moon" about this ice cream shop, but it was cute and the ice cream was great, so I'll stop in again soon. read more

See all

The experience at this ice-cream shop is something you would see on a stand-up comedy skit. I can't make this up. First I want to say the cookies and cream ice cream is good. Nice and creamy, great flavors and of good quality. Now the fun... The employee asks if I wanted two scoops or one . I say one scoop, she hands it to me and I take a lick. It was so delicious that I instantly change my mind and want a second scoop. I ask her if it's ok, since I haven't paid yet to get two scoops rather than one. Her answers? Yes! She does indicate that because I licked it, it would be best to put the second scoop in a cup. This made great sense and I agreed. Is everyone following so far? Two scoops ice cream right!? Now when she charges me she charges $2.75 twice...$5.50 like I had ordered two single scoops. I ordered two scoops and she choose to put it in a cup. The price should have been $3.50, double scoop. I was unsuccessful in teaching this poor soul mathematics. Trying to explain to her how she agreed it was ok to switch to two scoops also feckless!! I would call a manager to get this resolved, but I did not want to waste my energy. Too strange!!! UPDATE- I returned for another taste of the best ice cream in the areas. I was not disappointed to say the least. The establishment was closing and the owner was gracious and allowed my friend and I to come in and enjoy their ice cream. It was a wonderful experience this time around. The owner offered an earnest apology for my previous experience and was generous in her portion size, as usual!! It was overall both awesome and delicious. I enjoyed my cookies and cream it was so so good , and sitting out in the patio made my experience the more so delightful! I recommend it read more

totally recommend! their homemade ice cream is soo yummy.

Best ice cream shop in the area. The scoops are big, it's reasonably priced and the service is incredibly fast. I recommend the Daily Grind and Bear Claw ice cream flavors, but everything is really tasty. They even make sundaes, banana splits, smoothies, and shakes. I always get the single scoop waffle cone. Their single scoops consist of two huge scoops. You honestly don't need more, but I wouldn't mind more on occasion. Ha! Definitely some of the best ice cream around. They also have sorbet and some GF varieties. They have a really nice little garden in the back where you can sit under a shaded table. Very nice atmosphere. Parking is a little wonky, but it's okay if they aren't too busy. I would be happy if they didn't close down for the season in early October, but I understand why they operate seasonally. read more

Great stop - found while craving ice cream on the way home from a road trip. Good selection of ice creams and ice cream concoctions. 2 different ice cream varieties: Mooney's, and another brand. A bit pricey, but that's the case with most ice cream parlors these days. Friendly service, nice ambiance. Recommended. read more
