    It was super busy on a Thursday night and the staff were really pushing through it despite the chaos so props to them. Pretty standard ice cream maybe I should have tried something more unique next time. The s'mores ice cream was pretty good.

    This is a cute little retro shop you can't miss when walking down the street. Look for Elvis and the big black and white cow with the bat tail just before the front doors. Got a "Kiddie Moo" size carrot patch cheesecake ice cream, which is loaded with real carrots then slow cooked in aromatic spices and orange zest along with that classic cheese cake flavor. It was almost like a slight taste of fall mixed with Easter traditions and "who could be mad about that"?! It was Amazing! Homemade history of ice cream that originated in California. Moo Pies & Moo tacos are the most popular here. However, they have many rotating unique ice cream blends and staple ice cream flavors. Additionally, they offer cakes, creative sodas, shakes, gelato, sorbets, baked goods, mix ins and more! Note- They guarantee hormone-free, gluten-free, and free of high-fructose corn syrup products. Definitely a fun spot to visit and enjoy! It's a sweet & memorable place to experience if you are in Coronado.

    Stopped by on a Sunday night and it was pretty busy! My friends and I split an ice cream flight which allows you to try up to six different flavors! I loved the variety of ice cream flavor, choices and overall thought that each flavor was pretty tasty. Would definitely recommend trying!

    Been passing here many times after visiting the Naval Base but didn't get a chance to try this place . I always see the line that goes all the way outside. But yesterday after dining in the area we went to check them out again and luckily it had a short line. We decided to get their FLIGHT so we can try different Flavors. It looks very small on their Menu list and in their sample display but we were all surprised when the Lady started scooping the Ice cream, they are big Scoops! On the Flight, you can choose 6 different flavors that you want , we chose the MANGO SORBET , NUTELLA BANANA , MOCHA , CARAMEL , TOASTED COCONUT , THIN MINTS . Every flavor we chosed were delicious and the best part is that they are not overly sweet. So many Ice cream flavor selections and they also have other things for sale other than ice cream , they have a section of Shirts and cups with their Ice cream name printed on them. Friendly service, street parking mostly, I got lucky to find a parking space just in front of their store.

    Went to Coronado to spend in afternoon. After peddling on a cart around the corner, we decided to stop for something to cool us down. We have came to the spot before and it reminds me of like an old school ice cream shop. They even have an Elvis getting out front. There was a short line, but it gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to go with the banana split. When I went up to the server, I had her omit the marshmallow topping they had listed as a topping, which she said they don't add the anymore anyways. I also told her not to add a strawberry topping and she looked kind of annoyed when I mentioned that. I told her I just wanted fudge topping. After ordering, we did about five minutes to get our ice cream and found a seat outside. It was a nice day, so I didn't mind the sun However, our ice cream started of melting, so we had to eat really fast.

    Still my favorite ice cream shop in all of San Diego. The actual ice cream is always delicious, and everyone who works there has always be pleasant!

    It is very cute and you can tell this is a favorite as many people go here. There was no line when we went on Mother's Day so that was nice. There is lots to choose from but we just wanted to taste it so we got just one scoop. I got the double chocolate ice cream and my daughter got the cherry chunk. The taste was very thick, creamy and smooth. Probably one of the most creamy I have ever tasted. It was very good. The size was however one of the smallest scoops I've seen. My one small scoop in a tiny cup and my daughter's one small scoop was a total of a little over $14. I guess I was expecting a scoop like handels or any other ice cream spot. I think it's overpriced but I guess for the location and experience, it's a once in long while kind of visit in my opinion.

    Truly cannot go wrong with MooTime. They have so many unique flavors to choose from. The sampler is a great value since you're basically getting 6 scoops. I had the s'mores sundae which was very sweet and chocolatey perfect on a warm day!

    We've been to Moo Time Creamery twice in the past week, and it's officially become one of our favorite dessert spots. My kids love coming here--not just for the ice cream, but for the experience. They always get excited to see the life-size cow and the Elvis Presley statue outside. It's kind of become our little tradition after walking by the beach near the Hotel Del, and it just adds to the fun, family-friendly vibe. The ice cream itself is delicious, with a good variety of flavors to choose from. I also liked that they offer some more creative options you don't always see at other places. One of my favorite things is the sampler--you can get six different scoops for under $11, which is perfect for sharing with the family and trying a bit of everything. The only downside is that it does get pretty packed, especially during dinner time. There's usually a line, and seating is limited, so just be prepared for that. Overall, it's such a fun and tasty spot, especially if you have kids. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Coronado.

    Fantastic ice cream! I don't particularly enjoy ice cream, but they have wonderful flavors and a delicious ice cream base. I was very impressed with their variety and different flavor options compared to most other ice cream parlors/stores. Don't be hesitant with their line as it moves quickly! Really easy to order and then your ice cream is served to you within minutes. My husband and I decided to try the flight of 6 different ice creams. In their display it looked small and a great way to try multiple flavors. They really packed in the ice cream so we essentially had 6 full scoops of ice cream. Great to share with someone! We tried their august flavor (lemon blueberry), butter pecan, Nutella banana, chipped mint, brownie batter, and toasted coconut. I will say the lemon blueberry was a stark difference from in flavor compared to our selection so it did not blend well, but it would have been great on its own! I really did love the butter pecan, chipped mint, and brownie batter the most. The butter pecan and chipped mint are usually my top flavor choices anyways so this was no surprise. I was honestly impressed with the brownie batter though. So good! I enjoyed the Nutella banana and the toasted coconut but my husband loved them. They were his top along with the brownie batter. We also order a Ube cookie on the side and it was so soft and delicious! Would go here for that cookie alone. Such a fun stop in Coronado.

    Very friendly staff. Great brownie sundae with fresh whipped cream and amazing hot fudge. The brownie was gooey as it should be and ice cream was delicious. Be warned, the two of us couldn't finish it but we made a good effort.

    Such. Good. Ice cream! If you are coming to Coronado and have a sweet tooth, MooTime needs to be on your list. It's in a great location with tons of shops and areas to walk around to. They only have outdoor seating but there is a lot of tables available. Don't be surprised when you see a line out the door, it goes quick! The menu is huge with a ton of great flavors and toppings to pick from! They have a lot of creative, unique flavors you wouldn't find in other places. Silly Vanilly was a hit for the kids and very good. I got a Peanut Butter milkshake and it was amazing! We will absolutely be back. Such a cool, old-school creamery vibe here. The staff was excellent and the ice cream is 100% worth stopping for!

    MooTime!! A coronado/san diego legend! Everyone knows about it. There's always a line haha. But it is so worth it. Waffle cones are the same price as a cup (amazing) and if you get the waffle cone, it is an insane amount of ice cream for the small mini moo size. We usually do one "mix in" which is really good. And they give out pup cups for our dog! Everyone is always super nice, even when they're super busy. We probably go here every other week. Lots of flavors/mix ins. Love this place!

    Worst brunch of my life!!…read more Where do I even begin? We were in Coronado looking for a brunch spot and this place came recommended. Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.

I'm from New Orleans and have yet to find a true snowball spot outside of there, so I wasn't about to turn around. The line looked intimidating at first, stretching to the door, but it actually moved pretty quickly. It took about 10 minutes to order and get my food, which was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the small passionfruit shaved ice stuffed with avocado pistachio ice cream and topped with condensed milk. The ice cream alone deserves its own moment. It was easily some of the best I've had. Rich, creamy, and genuinely impressive. The shaved ice, though, didn't land the same way for me. The menu leans heavily into fruit flavors, which just don't pair that well with something like pistachio or chocolate-based ice cream. The passionfruit itself was pretty tart, which might work on its own, but it clashed with the creaminess of the ice cream. I found myself wishing they had options like coconut, amaretto, or chocolate syrups to balance things out better. Also, coming from New Orleans, I'm used to condensed milk being layered throughout, not just on top. It makes a difference in every bite. And honestly, the price here is noticeably higher for something that didn't quite hit the same. I'd come back for the ice cream without hesitation. As for the shaved ice, it just didn't quite deliver that nostalgic snowball experience I was hoping for. The service was phenomenal though. And it was a lively crowd.
