Tried the mint chocolate chip and moundz flavor. Both tasted like real cream and the chocolate chips were perfect sizes. The workers were super fast and had the treats out before we even finished ordering. Placement of it was kind of perfect because you get to look out at the rest of the market but also sit down and enjoy the food. read more

Every time I've been there in the last year or two, they've given incredibly stingy scoops, literally golf ball size, for 4.95. We aren't going back. read more

Got a single scoop of the cinnamon ice cream. It was sweet and creamy. I wish the cinnamon flavor was a bit stronger but overall good.

There's not much to say about Moo Thru. It's a staple for a lot of UVA students because of the main location off 29. This one has the same service, quality, and prices as the main one and it's a great little treat inside dairy market. read more

Moo Thru - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

It was okay and just that, they had lots of flavors but the ice cream almost had a freezer burn taste to it. I wish I could say it was good for my sake but for a cone and a Sunday, I paid 18 dollars. over all we ate what we paid for but there really over priced ice cream that had a weird after taste just isn't worth it. read more

One of the best ice cream I've ever had ever! You need to stop by if you like cream. It's creamy, cones are solid, and the amount's generous read more

Moo Thru - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

This is one of the best ice creams I ever had! We tired cookies & cream and cake batter in a waffle bowl. Perfect creaminess and sweetness. Can't wait to try other flavors next time. They have a daily special flavor, today's was apple pie. Service was super fast! read more

FOOD We ordered the cookies and cream and strawberry single scoops on a cake cone and cup respectively. It was $3.25 per scoop and the amount given was well worth the price. I will say that the scoops given on the cone were a little larger than in the cone, so if you're craving a little more ice cream, a cone might be the way to go. It was sweet and creamy, and a great overall treat. SERVICE The hours on Google don't align with the actual hours, at least on the day we went. We came in on a Saturday after 11 am, but the shop wasn't open until 12/12:30. LOCATION + PARKING Moo Thru is located within Dairy Market and they also have another location about an hour away. They offer a wide variety of classic flavors (e.g. vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, Holstein, cookie dough) and seasonal flavors as well. read more

Always stop on my way up north from Charlottesville. Blackberry on a waffle cone! Yummmy!!!

I love Moo Thru! Every flavor that I've tried is solid. Their ice cream is creamy, fresh, and consistently good. I also love that its handcrafted and slow churned by dairy farmers in Virginia. Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite ice cream flavor of all time. And their take on the flavor is great. The ice cream was creamy, and the chocolate chips were the perfect size in my opinion-- not too big but not too small or oddly shaped either. Overall, Moo Thru is consistent and has creamy ice cream. The cups are also reasonably priced-- under four dollars for a "small" cup that's packed with ice cream and almost triple the portion size of a small cup at other big ice cream places. Moo Thru has become a must-visit for me whenever I'm at the Dairy Market. And I can't wait to go back and try a milkshake. read more

I ate the best ice cream bite of my life today in Charlottesville VA. We were brought here by our dear nieces whom we were visiting who claimed this was the BEST ice cream in CVille. They did not mention this was the best ice cream in the world. We got the vanilla chocolate chip in a waffle cone called something else. The vanilla was so incredibly fresh and flavorful, creamy and delicious!! It brought vanilla to another level! There are delicious, chunky, flavorful, high-quality chocolate chips. The homemade waffle cone was delicious as well. The service was warm and welcoming! The ambiance was lovely, the ice cream shop centered in a modern funky loft space wherein was an international food court with multiple delicious food options reminiscent of similar spaces in manhattan or brooklyn read more

The dairy mart itself is a wonderful concept! The moo thru itself wasn't anything special. I saw pictures of their red velvet flavor but unfortunately they didn't have anything too unique. And I was especially disappointed that they didn't let you sample any of the flavors. Also, when we first got there, the credit card machine was down so it added to the wait as none of us had cash. I ultimately choose the cookie dough flavor but it simply didn't stand out compared to other brands I've had at the store. read more

The location would not let us use our DC trip provided gift. They also took our gift card after we didn't even spend close to the amount on the card and would not give it back. read more

Stopped in for an after dinner ice cream treat and got a cookies & cream sundae. Ice cream was as great as always and the hot fudge on it was really tasty. Service from the cashier was decent, but the nasty look on the face (and attitude to match) of the lady making and giving out the ice cream definitely wasn't necessary. They were moderately busy, but took care of reducing the line rather nicely. read more

As an ice cream fanatic, this place has my stamp of approval. I only gave 4 stars because it's a little pricey (especially if you like to add toppings), but the quality of the ice cream is 5 stars! I always get chocolate and dark chocolate with a few toppings and it's amazing! I can tell their other flavors would be good because the chocolates are very flavorful, so I assume the same goes for the rest. They also offer unique toppings such as the marshmallow cream and raspberry syrup. Just be warned, the line can get long sometimes! If you love ice cream, it'll be worth it. read more

We finally have a great, local ice cream place in Charlottesville!! The ice cream is just excellent. Sweet, creamy, and a fun variety of flavors. The Holstein has huge chunks of chocolate, its delicious! You can even take a couple scoops over to Eleva -- the coffee shop beside this at the Dairy Market -- and get an affogato! Super fun, great ice cream, really fast. Must stop! read more

Moo Thru is a little expensive, but the shakes are smooth and delicious! I'm a big fan of the blackberry ice cream flavor, but I don't think you can go wrong with any they have. read more

If you are craving a banana split, this is pretty much the only place to go (literally hah). I looked all over Charlottesville and only found Moo thru does banana splits. The place is located pretty much right when you walk into dairy market. Don't be surprised if there is a bit of a line... you know because the ice cream is great They have a good selection of ice cream, including occasional "special flavors." I'm not sure if they have dairy free "ice cream," but think they should definitely think about implementing it! If you are looking for banana splits, or just good ice cream... definitely the place to go. read more

MUST STOP ON YOUR WAY TO CHARLOTTESVILLE, for all the Hoos and visitors out there. They are just simply the best best best - creamiest, exploding flavor, and just creative menu. I used to get the flavor of the day every time I stop by to try out a new flavor each time, but hands down the best flavors are blackberry and coffee. Love them so much! read more

Moo Thru - Coffee - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I've never had the chance to visit the actual Moo Thru location on 29, so hearing that they were coming to the Dairy Market was great news! The Dairy Market itself is in a really great space and there is so much room for social distancing. Moo Thru is in the front, so it was easy to spot. I ended up getting a double of Mint Chocolate Chip and Cookie Dough - the Mint Chocolate Chip is AMAZING. The Cookie Dough was pretty good too, but I'll definitely be getting the Mint Choco Chip again. They have rotating daily/weekly flavors which are pretty interesting, such as Red Velvet or White Chocolate Raspberry. I tried the Red Velvet and it was very unique! Also, their portions are huge so make sure you are ready before getting more than one scoop. read more

Update: tried the strawberry cheesecake and red velvet (two specials). The red velvet was a little icy, but if fixed it has the potential to be a very good flavor. The strawberry cheesecake on the other hand was excellent- creamy and lots of bites of cheesecake! My friends and I have been several times now and specials seem to be hit or miss, but most classics like blackberry and coffee are very good. read more

Best place to hit the Cville Dairy Market, woo! I have seen their drive-by location to and from D.C. a zillion times, but never had the time or heart to stop. Boy, was I missing out on some incredible ice cream. Hindsight is 20/20. When I saw Moo Thru coming to Cville, I had to give them a try. Worth all my money and then some! I ordered banana ice cream in a cup and cookie dough ice cream in a waffle cone. Mind you, the flavors are incredible, but the best part is the sweet, cinnamon taste of that waffle cone. Yummy. Do me a favor and check them out ASAP read more

Moo Thru - Cookies and cream with a waffle cone (coconut donut from Bee Conscious) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

I love Moo Thru and have stopped by the original location (outside of Cville) on the drive down from DC, many times! This location is small and located within a larger food court at Dairy Market. The first thing you notice when you walk into the food court is the smell of waffle cones -- YUM. STOP. (DONT STOP.) I knew what I wanted before I even ordered -- a scoop of Holstein. If you're not familiar with cows, Holsteins are black and white, and beautiful! This ice cream is a nod towards the animal: vanilla ice cream with big chunks of semi-sweet chocolate. As always, the ice cream did not disappoint. It was smooth, creamy and not melty at all (even in 95 degree weather!) The employees were friendly and efficient. Unlike at the original location-- this location has ample seating available and air conditioning. Win, win! read more

One of the creamiest ice cream I've ever had! I got the Holstein flavor and wish I was able to stop by again. Definitely was one of the highlights of my first Charlottesville visit! read more

Never have I been so disappointed by such great ice cream. The ice cream was excellent, but the experience was dreadful. Ordered a scoop of cookies n cream in a cone, and was given a small scoop of ice cream plopped on top of a completely hollow cone (see pic). To be able to see the bottom of the cone before you even take a lick is just wrong. And the servers were completely non-responsive when I pointed this out! Will be taking my business to Chaps next time :) read more

We visited here while visiting Charlottesville for a team game. With our large party, they served us fast and efficiently. The ice cream was flavorful and very creamy. The flavors and toppings weren't anything extravagant/extraordinary. If you are looking for specialty flavors or options, I wouldn't recommend, but if you are looking for a creamy traditional ice cream shop, this one is for you and does the job while being located in a really neat market place! read more

Great ice cream. Fast service. Service was friendly. Add a peanut butter selection though... Delish!

The milkshake does not taste like what it supposed to taste like, and the staff are very rude and do not alert customers when your order is ready read more

I absolutely love Moo Thru! I almost always get the cookie dough in a cup when I come here, and it is the best cookie dough ice cream I have ever had. The ice cream is super smooth, not too sweet, and very milky tasting. It tastes very high quality. The only complaint that I have is that it is a little pricey for a single scoop cup. read more

I was very excited to hear about moo thru coming to the dairy market in cville as I always seem to be passing the location on 29 when they're not open. First of all, good location and great to have a dedicated ice cream parlor in town (why do there seem to be so few ?) Secondly, all the ice cream we tried was tasty, especially my husband's coffee ice cream. My banana cake cone was good but I was hoping for real banana ice cream made with real bananas, and this was not that, it's just artificial banana flavor; still good if you like that but I won't get again. The main issue I have is that my kid got chocolate ice cream and my husband with a nut allergy only sampled a spoon or two of it but after eating it he became violently sick the whole way home, so we realized there must have been some nut contamination. It baffled us as we read no signage saying any of the three flavors we got were nutty. My husband reached out and was told point blank "yes the chocolate contains hazelnuts." So that's the first issue: it's not hard to add a small asterisk or sign on your flavor board or somewhere to notify customers of "hidden" allergens. Second issue: the response my husband got was that if he had mentioned his allergy, the staff would have "told him which flavors to avoid and followed allergy protocol" which is good to know they have protocol, however my husband is 35 years old and we've eaten ice cream out many times and he has never had an issue ordering any "no nut" flavors in the past, and never has to mention his allergy because he has found flavors have always been labeled if they contain a nut not obvious from flavor title. I don't understand why moo thru can't make that very simple, seemingly obvious change. And why their customer service wasn't a bit more understanding when our issue was raised politely? Luckily my husband only had a small taste of the hazelnut chocolate otherwise he may have been much worse off. Still, he lost all his ice cream and dinner and it definitely was a buzzkill to our night. Overall, fine ice cream, cool location; less than impressive customer service and folks with allergies beware. I would recommend moo thru to others still but because of our personal experience I'm unfortunately not sure if we'll return. read more

Don't miss it! 2 scoops is enough for 2 people to share unless you have a lot of room for dessert! Had dark chocolate with vanilla ice cream and cherries great combination because the chocolate is very rich like a Belgium chocolate. The vanilla has flecks of bean in it, creamy delicious!

Moo Thru - Dark chocolate and vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and cherries - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Perfect for a hot, summer day! I had the Holstein ice cream and it had such a different flavor from what you would get at the typical, big chain ice cream shops. Their unique flavors were incredible. You also get a LOT of ice cream for what you pay! I deducted one start because there seemed to be a lack of organization and efficiency; perhaps because I visited Moo Thru during peak hours on a hot, Saturday afternoon, but there's room for improvement on the staff side. Would still recommend if you're in the Charlottesville area! read more

Delicious ice cream at reasonable prices with a good selection of flavors. I would highly recommend Moo Thru for your ice cream needs and I'm glad I don't have to drive up 29 to get Moo Thru anymore! read more

This is basically located in a little foodcourt near campus. We made the mistake of going on a hot Saturday night 30 minutes before closing, so it was definitely packed with a line. But, it's a cute little place and the ice cream is above average. I would avoid busy times in the future. read more

What did we order: cookies and cream ice cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream and coffee ice cream shake. Smells: dairy, creamy and milky. Visual appeal: cow galore! Food quality: top notch, high quality 'farm to table' style ice cream, whereby they use the milk from their own cows that they breed. Other comments: can buy pints, flash freeze and take home to store in freezer. read more
