Didn't seem to have any many flavors as they claimed. Overall pretty solid ice cream but not omg you've got to try this. The chocolate turtle was worth a try. Good value for the price though. Plenty of indoor seating. Lots of Hansen branded food items for sale. read more

Great little ice cream and dairy store. Their milk is spectacular! Customer service is average, not over the top friendly by any means. read more

Very disappointed how my family was treated ! Like they were doing me a favor to wait in us! Cleaning the floor an hour before closing was totally wet and people had to be very careful not to fall!! I used to love to go there but so will find another place !! When they roll their eyes I'm out of there read more

Ice cream bar and diary (and other local products) outlet. Moo roo is part of hansens dairy out let. They sell ok milk and milk based products. Unfortunately no grass fed cows provide any of the milk, so it's kind of bland. Amazing waffles and somewhat bland homemade ice cream. It's extremely cold in the cafe, so bring a coat, even in the summer. Friendly staff read more

Ice cream and so much more. If you're tired of all the big franchises, come on over here. Lots of locally grown/produced items. But come on! Ice cream is fresh and delicious!

I love coming here. Not just for the ice cream, but for the Oasis Hummus!!! Mmmmmm!!! It's my favorite Hummus of all time and I feel so lucky to be able to get it in Waterloo. Love local businesses supporting other communities in Iowa's local businesses. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. read more

I came here a couple of months ago and forgot to review. I have been trying to find ice cream of similar quality in the Des Moines area, but nothing has come even close. The place: It is conveniently located, surroundings are clean, and the store is clean. Staff: The staff is very attentive and kind. They were quick to acknowledge when customers walked in. Ice cream: It was great! The taste and consistency were right on the money. I had chocolate brownie (or brownie dough). The flavor was what you can expect from a very good quality chocolate (characteristic cocoa essence, not very sweet). It was creamy and not "icy" at all. Details: They put the waffle cup on a plastic ice cream cup. This helps avoid any mess, or the waffle breaking and you dropping the ice cream. This is very thoughtful and I appreciate it very much as part of a great service. read more

I called to order an ice cream cake for my father's birthday in a week. The woman told me to come in to get it. I asked her if I could have a message written on it and pick a flavor. She told me she was too busy and couldn't answer my question. I do like to support local business, but I also expect to be treated like a customer. Customers are the reason a local business stays in business. I got a Dairy Queen cake and it was delicious. read more

The staff were so nice and let my husband try out some flavors. I got scoops of chocolate and butter pecan; hubby got scoops of key lime pie and lemon. Both of us found our flavors spot on and so delicious without being too rich. read more

My new favorite place in Waterloo! Local, organic milk, butter, eggs, honey, bread, meats and delicious ice cream! I have been really into cooking organic, and this is the perfect place for sourcing some organic ingredients for baking and cooking in the waterloo area. Prices are a little bit more than your conventional store, about $1 more for a half gallon of milk... BUT with the membership card (basically a prepaid card) you get a discount and milk, ice cream and butter are the same price as the grocery store. Friendly staff too! read more

This place has great homemade ice cream and local dairy products. They also have local meats and cheeses. Great prices and friendly staff. Highly recommended. read more

This is our favorite place to stop for ice cream. My son frequently asks to get ice cream and "see the cow." We also enjoy buying the fresh dairy and meat products from time to time. It's a great local business. read more

Woo Hoo for Moo Roo!! This unassuming little ice cream shop may be the most adorable place to stop for ice cream. The young ladies behind the counter gave us a little background on the "story" behind the shop logo outside...because at first glance, it is a bit odd. It's a wallaby eating an ice cream cone with a milk calf in its pouch?! However, we learned that this ice cream shop is owned and run through Hansen Dairy Farms...and the dairy farm also raises New Zealand wallabies. The Hansen owners actually make the ice cream which is made from their dairy farm in Hudson, IA. So when they say it is homemade, they 'aint kiddin! My friends had the coffee flavor, rocky raspberry something or other, and a choc chip mint in nice sized but not those whopping oversized waffle cones. We meandered around the place to see all the unique items they sell: cheese curds, ice cream sandwiches, farm meats, and a very popular item besides the ice cream: fresh farm milk (you have to shake these gallons of milk because it is THAT fresh!)--at least a dozen people stopped in to the store while we were eating our ice cream to JUST buy the milk! In the open eating area there is a huge painted mural of what we assume to be the Hansen Dairy Farm, and on all the tables are these photo albums that you can browse. The photos are a hoot, as they are just full of random family photos that we figure are the owner's kids or grandkids--very cute. The only reason we (my friends collectively) gave it a 4 is that the ice cream was not THE VERY BEST we've ever had, but it was a sweet treat on a hot summer evening and we certainly ate ALL of our ice cream! Gotta' head to this place...it's quite an IOWA treat! read more

After being disappointed by "4 Queens" we tried Moo-Roo. Incredible ice cream for a cheap price. It really is a hidden gem, that is 10x better than "4 Queens"; which seems to get a lot of unearned praise. read more
