The variety of ice creams (both dairy and non-dairy for those who are lactose intolerant like me) and the ability to sample them without pressure was great. The server took care of us, and the outdoor seating was the perfect place to enjoy our cones on a hot summer night. The massive crowds of people there also enjoyed their night as well, as the place was poppin'. The portion size of the scoops, their patience, and the quality of the cones, all together made for a quality night.

You have to have a stadium 1 ticket to get in this area so the line was shorter. The menu doesn't explain what you get well. It shows in a bowl or waffle cone. The cone cost more but you get less. So the bowl you can get up to 3 scoops of ice cream and the cone you only get 2. I like the cone so I got it. The icecream is really good tasti g and smooth. We liked it. There was one person taking orders and two making them. I think they should do something different because many times the 2 making the orders were not doing anything. The line kept getting bigger.

LOCATION: Incredible, you need to be here to see how special it is. Lots of parking. FACILITY: More historic but it is modern is all aspects. Great resort history if you have time to You Tube it. MENU: At The Marketplace, there is a full menu to small items, coffee, pastries, and groceries available. FOOD PREP: Nothing special but well above average for snacks. FOOD QUALITY: Just okay, espresso was not great and I did not expect it to be, I would recommend just drip coffee. Pasties were very good. WAITSTAFF: People here were very nice, welcoming, and seemed happy to see us, yes it was off season but made us feel very welcome even though was just live a couple of miles away. OVERALL VALUE: Not really sure, but not overly expensive. We shared a latte and a croissant and did not need to mortgage our home. TIP: You can visit and enjoy the grounds, the shops, sit outside and take in the mountain views, and just chill out. Of course try and be a customer and order a drink at the outside bar grab something at The Marketplace.

There is a cute little gelato area for $6 a scoop. As we walked around the refrigerated items, we came across some cold cuts and my daughter opted for a charcuterie sampler for $22. It was a nice sided portion vs the prepackaged items. There was salami, prosciutto, dried fruit, nuts, and a jam. We shared the sampler and it was enough to tie the 5 of us over for a couple hours for dinner. You cannot miss the marketplace. It is to the right of the check in area and near the Mexican outdoor seating. Plenty of seats available outdoors and al Fresca.

Crazy new owner or manager. We were given the evil eye when we are tasting the flavors, I thought that was why they ration out the taster cups. Then my daughter got a cone and it dropped off the cone out side. She went back in and kindly asked if it could be replaced and the clerk glanced at the owner who was shaking his head no behind my daughter and he said No sorry we cant do that. Then my wife called to inform them of the bad policy and they said that you already left... it happend out side as we were getting in the car... where we were planning on eating our yorgurt because they made it so uncomfortable for us inside before we got our cones. Plus my wife was calling from the car, we had not left she said we are right out the door and my wife waved to them on the phone. then they went on to say that it is not in their policy to replace dropped yogurt. We more than likely will not be returning... not to mention the employees park right outside the door taking the customer parking, and they dress and talk like hoodlums. read more

I tried 50% sweet, but this is a full undiluted Jasmine so I need a little extra sweetness to take the bitterness away. Great news that it's not watered down. Hubby and I like the original mochi dog crunchy and chewy with a nice yummy hotdog & half hotdog/half mozzarella inside. Not excited that it's $.75 for a sweet chili sauce... I might bring my own next time...LOL I do like that they now have the instant Ramen option... Haven't used it yet because I can make that at home but it's nice to know I can make it out if needed... When you have a yummy chewy crispy mochinut hotdog, what else do you need?!? They have a great product, but my issues that make it a four star versus a five star are that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday and that's usually when I want to go...boohoo :-( Also, They charge I think $.60 if you use your credit card but they do have options like Cash, Zelle and Venmo that don't charge for paying those ways. All the various little upcharges are slightly bothersome... But the positive side to that is I can choose to not add those things and save some money while still enjoying the basic Mochinut experience... as long as it's not Monday or Tuesday.... I'm assuming that Monday and Tuesday were not busy enough for them and they had to do their best to utilize their staff on the other days and it seems that they chose to be open on the weekends over Monday and Tuesday, which is probably a good business decision... So I'd rather them stick around because they make good decisions for their business, even though they're kinda not available when I want. It's better to have them survive in this hard California business climate. There is nothing like Mochinut, so we can all compromise a bit. So there you go if I didn't have any issues with open days & upcharges, they'd have a five star based on product & service.
