MooTime Creamery

Every tourist spot has an ice cream spot that will say something like "proudly serving [city] since 1985 and you wonder if it's good or just good enough to hang around because who wouldn't want ice cream in Coronado. We'll believe you me that MooTime is incredible. The servings are ginormous and the waffle cone doesn't cost extra. You'll probably encounter a line, that's ok, it moves quick enough and being in line will prevent you from dropping $200 at the nearest hat store. The flavor selection has excellent variety and the creaminess of the ice cream is spot on. Big fan of MooTime. It's on my Mt. Rushmore of San Diego ice cream shops. read more

We waited in line with lots of other admirers in order to sample the ice cream at this cute, little 50s style ice cream parlor and were not disappointed. We enjoyed the sampler of 6 scoops: cinnamon, strawberry, stracciatella, caramel, double dark chocolate, and peanut butter. The pb was my favorite, but all of them had excellent flavor. read more

MooTime will satisfy your sweet tooth with a generous serving size and classic flavors. Like Coldstone, you can mix in toppings with your ice cream for an added layer of customisation. The staff was quick and courteous in allowing customers to sample ice cream flavors before ordering. I got a chipped mint (mint chocolate chip) with cookie dough add-in. I severely underestimated the serving size for the mini moo and could not finish half of it even with my partner helping me. I definitely will ask for the Kiddie Moo size next time, despite the menu stating it is only for those 12 and under. In terms of the ice cream, I prefer smaller chunks of chocolate and a stronger mint aromatic flavor, thus would rate the taste as 3/5, generous portions being 5/5, averaging to 4/5. There was seating available outside so we were able to enjoy our desserts at the creamery, albeit a bit cold due to it being almost 9:00pm and no outside heaters available nearby. If you are looking for conventional ice cream flavors with options for sundays, shakes, ice cream cookies, brownies, and tacos, this place might be for you. read more

After dinner, my friends wanted to check out the Christmas lights in December at Coronado. We decided to grab ice cream after all the festivities. One of my friends recommended this place as it was an iconic spot in Coronado. It's located in between some boutique shops with an iconic drive-thru diner shop sign and a life size Elvis Presley(?) replica on Orange Ave in Coronado. There are a lot of free street parking around the area that could be difficult to find during dinner and weekend rush hours. My boyfriend and I got their Mini Moo size of their seasonal ice cream on the very last day (bad idea) - Cinnamon Toast to Fall. The description mentioned that it was a pumpkin spice flavor which I'm always a sucker for. So I immediately wanted it even though the sample I got was just meh. There was no pumpkin spice flavor at all! Honestly should have chose another flavor LOL. The main reason was not because of the lack of pumpkin flavor (maybe part of it), but because of the cereal. There was Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in it, and they were all stale! What a disappointment. I can see why as that night we went was the very last day for it. Another reason for the star bump was that I had to fight against the ice cream because it was so difficult to grab a bite as it was so hard LOL. This shows that the ice cream was either froze excessively due to it being a seasonal flavor or that's was just this ice cream shop's style. I think the only great thing was the huge portion of ice cream as the mini moo was quite big! I think I need to give this shop another go as this was one of my friend's favorite places down in Coronado. Maybe the flavor I chose was just overall not the best and could be better with other flavors. read more

After a long day on Coronado Beach we wanted some refreshing ice cream and this place was delicious. They had a lot of flavors to choose from, my favorites were the Bananna Nutella and the Peanut Butter. Those two together were a great pair!

I love the flight option! We ordered peanut butter, mango, coffee, cherry vanilla, pomegranate chip, and butter pecan. My favorites were the cherry vanilla and pomegranate chip. The butter pecan I couldn't really taste the flavor. We also got their ice cream taco which you can grab from their fridge section. The shell is soft because it's been sitting, probably wouldn't get that again but it's a cute idea. The inside is small and customers loop in a line. There's some seating outdoors and along the side of the building. A good ice cream spot. read more

CREAMY DELICIOUSNESS (4.5 stars) - ICE CREAM: good - CONE: no drippy butt - PRICE: affordable - AMBIANCE: grab and go (sit outside) The better of the batch of ice cream shops on Coronado. Very popular, lots of flavors, good portion to price, and service is quick! NUTELLA BANANA (~$5) - "kiddie moo" scoop on a small waffle cone. Their serving size for that price makes the visit worth it. I'm so glad I chose this flavor on the fly, it was everything I was craving for. Nice blend of Nutella and Banana flavor with harden Nutella chunks for texture that melt in your palate. The dome of my ice cream was a bit excessive but it was manageable before some dripping from the side action occurred. No hole at the bottom of the cone so no drippy butt action. The cone was average, not too thick kind of thin but not brittle. HIGHLY RECOMMEND JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more

Went to MooTime which I've heard about for years. It is New Years Day so a busy day in Coronado. The place was busy. There was only one employee working when we were there. He was absolutely great. He had a great attitude and kept the line moving. We ordered a shake(lots of ice cream in that thing), two small bowls - the scoops were generous, and two sundaes. The one pictured is the chocolate peanut butter sundae. This was the large size for $11.50. Two of us shared it and we had a bit left over. Overall, great ice cream, great service, places to sit. It was a fun place with a nice vibe. We took a photo w Elvis and the cow. I highly recommend. I'll be back. read more

Pretty sure they dumped a cup of salt in both the caramel and hot fudge. Basically inedible. Additionally, if you get a 3 scoop ice cream in a cup, they'll hand it to you completely overflowing with fudge and melted ice cream running down the sides of the cup and all over your hands. You'd think they would just get bigger cups but I guess they'd rather make a mess all over the floor and sidewalk outside. read more

Walked by this place around dinner time and it was packed. There was a line out the door. We came back the following day during lunch and were able to walk in and really experience what they had to offer without the crowd. There are lots of flavors. We ended up choosing the Cookie Monster, brownie batter, and cheesecake. I was a little skeptical with the blue ice cream, but that didn't deter from the flavors for vanilla ice cream. I'm happy I was able to combine Oreo and cookie dough into one scoop! They offered us a waffle cone because they are known as "home of the free waffle cone" the cones were just made! So fresh and warm. Loved the old time feel the place offered. read more

Normally we love coming to Moo Time on Coronado Island. We stopped by today (6/9) at about 11:25 am- they had a sign with marker that said opening at 11:30. We figured we'd wait the 5 mins even though their posted hours say 11am, a young woman came out with a milk shake and took a picture, so we thought they were open. When we tried to go in they said they were still closed and would be for another 15 minutes. Honestly, super disappointing and you've lost a customer. Maybe not a big deal but it would have been 4 orders from our family right away but now I don't think we'll be making MooTime a stop on future visits. read more

I knew it was closed but as a frequent customer I thought they'd let me just use the restroom. No, that's fine.

Hurt people hurt though, I'd probably be miserable too if I was back there at her age. Do better lady, keep your voice down next time. No one needs your gripe. 1 extra star for your guy's mexican coffee that I can do without now.

Amazing selection at the counter.

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.

We were seated right on time, which was a great start to the evening. The atmosphere is welcoming and lively without being too noisy, making it easy to enjoy a conversation. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. This was our second visit, and once again, the food did not disappoint. We've been here for both dinner and breakfast, and both meals were delicious. The menu offers a nice variety, the quality is consistent, and the prices are fair for the experience. Parking can be a bit challenging, but we were able to find a street parking spot without too much trouble. Overall, The Henry Coronado is a wonderful place for casual dining with great food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely be back and would happily recommend it to others.

The drinks and appetizers were good, but the portions were a little small - you'll want a few appetizers for a party of 4. I got the Korean Skirt Steak as my entree.

The service was a little slower than typical American dining - not an issue, but just make sure you aren't expecting a quick in and out meal.

I upgraded to housemade almond milk (+$1). Total was over $11, more than I typically pay for matcha (~$8). The matcha came out within 10 minutes, but it wasn't great, as far as matcha goes. It's supposedly made with ceremonial grade matcha, but I couldn't taste it in the drink. The strawberry syrup was bland. The drink was somewhat "healthy", but not a good-tasting matcha beverage, and a bit too expensive for the quality you get. I'd liken it to watered down strawberry almond milk.

I ordered one of their beers on tap: Orange Avenue Wheat Ale brewed with orange and honey 5.2%. This is one of their iconic popular beers and an award-winning brew. Stays as a classic in their books. I highly recommend this beer if you are indecisive of what to order from. 5/5 To eat I decided to order an appetizer: Islander Ahi Poke (Ahi tuna in a poke marinade with cucumber & avocado over seaweed slaw. Finished with wasabi aioli, sesame seeds & micro greens) Served with wonton crisps Very unique way to enjoy poke sitting over seaweed slaw. But it is refreshing and flavorful overall. Paired up well with my Orange Avenue Beer. This location offers indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating. A bar with TV displays that include fans watching the Padres play on the screen. Atmosphere was very lively and groups were there to hang out and have a good time.

It has an old school rustic vibe with bistro tables inside and in the back area. We shared a steak sandwich and a side of truffle fries.

It comes with chips, and though I liked they were actually from real potatoes, it was a bit stale, so 6/10. Glad we got the side of truffle fries because that went perfectly with our sandwich 9/10. Service was also great. She made sure we got our food quickly, since we told her we were in a rush. If we had more time I would have gotten a coffee or pastry from their bakery, so I'll have to come back for that next time.
