Small Banana ice cream on a waffle cone
Anna D.

This is a great place for coffee, ice cream and snacks! The banana ice cream has been my favorite so far. You will get more (2 scoops) with the waffle cone versus the cake cone. Everything tastes so fresh! I just discovered that they have more locations! They are in Burke and Herndon, Virginia! The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is casual. I hope they add more flavors or seasonal flavors. It is a very family friendly place. I highly recommend them!

Not the sexiest 3000th review you may see on Yelp, but this is where Moo Thru has landed as I pick off pending reviews from a very long list. On a road trip into DC going the back route on James Madison Highway. I ran across Moo Thru which I was familiar with from Charlottesville. All I needed was coffee to keep me awake, but decided to treat my daughter to a cup of Cookies & Cream as she cranked out an essay on the road to the airport for Spring Break. Friendly counter service by a young lady. All ordering is outdoors with outdoor undercover seating too! It's a big road stop vibe with even a drive- thru to stay put in your car. The wait was not long and the coffee was pretty good, not great. However, my daughter really liked the ice cream and gave me a small bite. I concurred it was yummy! They offer a restroom off to the side. It was clean, but had issues with shutting off the water and reported. I would have no issue returning and get an ice cream next trip.

We always stop by Moo Thru on our way down from NoVA to Charlottesville. It's right next to a major road so it gets a lot of traffic. Luckily the staff are nice and can get through orders decently quick even when there's a lot of customers. Moo Thru has the best ice cream I've ever had. It is rich, creamy, and comes in large portions. There are also a large variety of flavors. They make the ice cream and waffle cones in house so you are supporting a local business too.

Hungry people getting ice cream .

The aroma of waffle cones as you drive by will turn your heart into the parking lot... watch out for the momma and baby cow right by the entrance! Any flavor of ice cream and soft serve perfection. Come hungry, you wont need dinner with cherries on top!

Grilled cheese

My husband and I loved moo thru! The grilled cheese with tomato was surprisingly good, we would both order it again. Of course their ice cream is also delicious! Service was so so, we had to remind the staff that we ordered food before we received it.

Moo thru is a VA staple! If you're in the Culpeper area, it's a must visit. I've been going here for the last decade or so since my sis moved to VA and I went to school there. I got the cookie butter and my sister got the smores! The cookie butter was OK. Kinda icy and didn't have those warming spices you would expect from a cookie butter flavor. The s'mores was really good, marshmallow ice cream with large chocolate chunks. Waffle cone was great! Expect a wait, it's always busy

THE BIG: Located right off of highway 15, you can't miss this ice cream shoppe! There's always a line out in front and only outdoor seating. Drive thru and walk up available. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I would always drive by here on the way to Charlottesville and back to DC. The line says it all because the ice cream here is delicious! Tons of flavors to choose from. The wife and I always get the mint chip and it is delicious! Instead of thick chips, they are thin chips which adds that nice mouth texture instead of the traditional ice cream mint chocolate chips. Beyond that, the pistachio is also a good choice. It's not colored unnatural green but it does pack a pistachio flavor that will have you coming back for seconds. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Our last purchase was a medium cup with two flavors and it was around $7. Great place to stop to grab a sweet treat before heading to your final destination.

New favorite ice cream in the DMV. Growing up in the Midwest, I'm pretty spooked by ice cream places and have struggled to find one in NoVA. We've passed this place a few times on the way to see friends and decided to drive thru. Ice cream at 11am was worth it for how good this place is. We tried the blackberry and cake batter and plan to go back. The ice cream is smooth and thick, you can tell made with high quality ingredients. It's almost chewy how thick the consistency is. Can't wait to go back, possibly on the drive back home.

This place is definitely worth going to if you are in the fence! As a true ice cream girlie, I'm always looking for places to try that have good quality and flavor. A friend recommended the Moo Thru, it was a little out of the way but it looked promising. The drive was beautiful and we ended up here in no time, as it's on the side of the main road. I came here twice, the kids and adults both loved it. The mint and chip and cookie dough were my personal favorites. Peach was my least favorite. We tried a milkshake in coffee flavor it was great too! The price point is good for the ingredients and portions. There is often a line but it moves quickly and the team is friendly. There is seating off to the side and a drive through if you don't want to get out of the car. Can't wait to come back next time I am in the area!

After several years, finally writing my review for Moo Thru! From cville to DC and back, Moo Thru is a MUST STOP for ice cream. Their ice cream is creamy, flavorful and absolutely addicting. They have several flavors all the time and rotating seasonal ones. My go to is Mint Chip, but you can't go wrong with cookie dough or pistachio. The line is always long when I go, but it moves quickly. Worth the wait and an opportunity to stretch your legs! There's also plenty of seating around the barn. Highly recommend :)

Have been stopping here for ice cream for years and they exceed expectations every time! The ice cream is always so creamy, thick, and fresh. I especially enjoy the cookie dough, blackberry, and raspberry sorbet, though all the flavors are delicious. The single scoop is pretty sizable. Only outdoor seating and drive through. Bathrooms available. They now sell coffee, which is also tasty!

Are any of their flavors gluten free?

Many of their flavors are gluten free, they're just not going to promise no cross-contamination. My girlfriend has celiac and has been fine with many of their flavors.

Do they serve food or just ice cream?

They do serve food. For whatever reason, they don't seem to list it on the website, but they do have food...a couple sandwiches, maybe chili...it's a bit random, but they do have real food, too.

Messick's Farm Market

There are places you go because you need something, and there are places you go because life is…read morejust better when you do. Messick's falls into that second category. You start out thinking it's just a farm market but inside, the place has all the usual farm market suspects--fresh produce, baked goods, meats--but then you notice the food counter. That's where things go sideways in the best possible way. The sandwiches are flat-out good, not "good for a farm store," but actually good. And the breakfast burritos are not normal human-sized food. They're the kind of burritos that make you reconsider your life choices halfway through eating one, in a positive way. Outside is where Messick's really shows off. Kids running everywhere, farm people doing what farm people do, and enough seasonal activities to keep families occupied until everyone forgets what time it is. It's the kind of place where parents sit down "for just a minute" and then suddenly it's an hour later and nobody is in a hurry to leave. If you're rolling in with a camper, it also works as a Harvest Hosts stop, which is a polite way of saying you can legally fall asleep there without anyone bothering you. Parking is easy in a grass-and-gravel area that's simple to level into, and once the day crowd clears out it gets quiet in that good country way. Verizon signal holds up well too, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how hard you were trying to escape emails. What makes Messick's dangerous is that it's not trying to be anything other than what it is--but it ends up being more anyway. You go for a quick stop and leave feeling like you accidentally spent the afternoon at somebody's family reunion, except nobody made you help clean up afterward. In a world full of overcomplicated stops and underwhelming food, Messick's is refreshingly simple: good food, good people, and just enough chaos to make it interesting.

Messick's has ripped me off for $74 yesterday. I bought tickets for fall festival and they…read morecancelled the event due to rain, and there was no rain even forecasted for yesterday. It was a BEAUTIFUL sunny day! Now I get zero refund as I agreed to a coupon for weather cancellation. The coupon can only be used for a future event . Well, my husband and I are old and only bought the tickets for a Brazilian family that was visiting from Brazil. That coupon is worthless for me. They ended up going to another local farm yesterday. I'm posting pictures. Does it look rainy? Why did they cancel the event? Who knows? Just to keep everyone's money! And do nothing.
