Friday afternoon and no wait. Friendly service. Ask for samples. Ended up getting 2 with pineapple mango-vanilla-guava. It's was super yummy and will for sure be back! Not too sweet. It's Italian ice and soft serve. Tastes like a dole whip.
We stopped by Moon scoops and this place is good! When I saw the huge chocolate chip cookie, I had to try it. For $3.75, this cookie was soft and delicious. My husband got a Reeses milkshake, and it was very tasty. You can really taste the chocolate and peanut butter. I also got a small serving of the ice cream. I was surprised that a small cup gets you 3 scoops! I decided to go with lime, pineapple mango, and strawberry. These flavor were all really good. Overall, my family loves Moon scoops. We noticed there is usually only 1 worker, so customers should be patient when there is a long line.
It cost $9.83 for the soft serve and scoop that used to be $5. The menu CHANGED it appears that they no longer have the sorbet, that they have ice cream. I asked for a small the sauce serve with a tiny scoop of raspberry on top. It ended up being $9.83 I said wow why is it so much and he said it's considered two scoops. I said oh I looked on the yelp page and I guess things have changed big time. I compared the old menu to the new one and the pictures and they would give you two small scoops of the moon ice and the soft serve for about five bucks. I didn't see Moon ice when I went, just ice cream so they definitely change their ways. Sad about this but I won't be back. Also... They do not take American legal tender. I handed him a $20 bill and he said oh we are cashless. I said it's kind of ridiculous how you don't take a legal tender in America. Maybe they should post it on their door and in the store. The chocolate soft serve is very good but the raspberry ice cream was extremely sour
What a cute little spot! Two great photo op spots inside. Tons of dairy free options for my dairy-free kiddo and everything was tasty. Each size moon ice comes with 3 flavors so even a small gets to try different flavors. The smaller sizes of the moon ice go a long way so we were perfectly satisfied with mediums. The soft serve comes in an oatmilk option which I love for my son. We will have to try oat based next time, but my husband liked the regular vanilla soft serve. They were out of some flavors of moon ice but I definitely want to try some of those next time. Our first two visits we had Mango pineapple, coconut, pear, kool-aid, mojito, cotton candy, root beer, a pink lemonade, and the soft serve vanilla. We also have tried the chocolate chip cookie (a little crumbly and bland sadly but I heard that it may be gluten free which would explain the texture of that is accurate) and the brownie cookie. Were loved everything but the chocolate chip cookie and the root beer flavor when not mixed with soft serve or coconut. Next time I will ask for samples of new flavors before committing because the flavors are strong so you definitely want to get ones you enjoy. The flavors have something for everyone. The staff is friendly and accommodating and happy to give samples if you are on the fence. I want to try their affogatto next time too! My only real complaint is the spoons they gave out. On our first visit they were black plastic and my son's broke because it was so brittle. On the second visit they were white plastic and the shape of the spoon scraped your mouth on the underside sides. I never realized how important the shape and flexibility of a spoon was for frozen treats, but it was definitely noticeable.
This dessert shop is a real treat! We don't see too many places that serve just Italian ice in the surrounding Bay Area cities, so it's been in my Yelp bookmarks for quite some time. They have at least 20 Italian ice flavors ranging from tart fruity flavors to very American flavors like cotton candy. All of the Italian ice flavors are dairy free, too. Since it was our first time, fiancé and I got the "I Can't Decide" sampler which includes 6 scoops of Italian ice and 1 choice of soft serve. They are generous with samples of the ice, but I didn't ask about sampling the soft serve. -Wild blueberry lemonade: I assumed this would be very tart from the lemonade, but it was tasty and and I hardly noticed the lemon. There's blueberries scattered throughout too so it was a nice burst of fruit. -Orange Twist: Recommended by the gentleman at Moonscoops. It was like a frozen orange with lots of orange zest. -Oat Mint Oreo: We don't drink oat milk so didn't know how we'd feel about the flavor, but it was actually not bad. Not my favorite, but if you like mint and Oreo this would be a good one. -Guava: My favorite of the ones we chose! It was a refreshing flavor and didn't taste artificial. -Apple pie: This caught my eye because I would have never thought it would be an Italian ice flavor. It was a nice surprise with all of the cinnamon and spices as well as the bits of apple. Pair this with the vanilla soft serve and you're good to go. -Coffee: I sampled this flavor, but didn't end up choosing it because it was a little on the chunky icy side and didn't wow me. But if you love coffee, get this and the vanilla soft serve for a yummy coffee iced dessert. -Vanilla soft serve: Oh my, they have one of the best soft serves I've ever had. Perfectly sweetened and texture was just right. Not like the soft serves from fast food chains where it's very vanilla heavy. The best! I'd definitely come back here to see what other flavors they offer or even just stop in for their soft serve! Ambiance is very quaint and clean. The staff was friendly and sparked up a conversation with all the customers.
This ice cream shop is a total gem! It's super cute inside and very well kept and clean. The customer service was great! Now let's talk about the ice cream...there's so many choices to choose from, my husband chose coffee ice cream and since I couldn't make up my mind on an ice cream flavor, I chose to go with a strawberry milk shake. My kids chose a chocolate milkshake and a cookies and cream ice cream. Everything was delicious! It can get busy at times but it's totally worth the wait! Overall great experience!
I stopped by for a Reese's milkshake, and while it was delicious, it was incredibly rich--and priced at $12! Parking was pretty easy, only one person working and there were a few people ahead of me so was a little wait. The shop is cool and smelled of freshly baked waffle cones. As for the milkshake, the cup was lined with peanut butter and chocolate sauce, filled with a creamy ice cream blend, and packed with chopped Reese's cups. However, the regular straws they provide aren't wide enough, so they kept getting clogged with the chunks. I'd visit again, but next time, I'll probably try one of the many tempting ice cream flavors instead.
FLAVOR (4/5): I was able to sample a lot of moon ice cream flavors and liked the guava one a lot! I paired it with the strawberry soft serve in a cone and it was a great pairing! I didn't care for the waffle cone, it was too dry and sweet. So definitely stick with a cup option here. However my friend did not like the banana soft serve. INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): The interior is super cute, the flavors they have are great and a lot of photo opportunities inside the store! SERVICE (5/5): The workers there were really nice and patient with us when trying to understand the menu and pick out flavors! The guy worker even gave my dog a small whipped cream cup which made her day! TAKEAWAYS: Try the guava moon ice with strawberry soft serve in a cup. Stay away from waffle cones and banana soft serve. I wish they let us sample the soft serve flavors like how we can with moon ice!
This place is so cute. The neon lights, floral wall and all's the bright colors make my heart happy. They have a pretty extensive menu but I always order the matcha (green tea) soft serve in a cup. I like that it's not too sweet. Will run ya about $5 before tax and tip. They give you a nice portion too. I would stay away from any of the baked goods. They're stale. Overall, happy we have something like this in marina!
Paid 17 for two small ice cream scoops, which honestly it's okay considering everything is super high. What really didn't sit well with me was their service. The employees were rude and didn't couldn't explain how long until the hot chocolate was really. They just said,"it's not ready" and continued being rude. Very nicely decorated though.
This was a really cute little shop. The service was good. They let you try the flavors before you order. We got two double troubles, one with cookies and cream for both scoops of moon ice (fresh handmade Italian ice) and vanilla (artisanal organic soft serve ice cream) and the other with coconut and blue raspberry moon ice and vanilla soft serve. Both were delicious. The moon ice and soft serve complement each other very well. The servings are HUGE. It would be nice to go back and try different flavor combinations!
What an absolute TREAT!!! I stopped in with friends and was pleasantly surprised by all of the Italian ice flavor options. It's the perfect snack for a really hot day. I opted for fruity flavors with vanilla soft serve (4/5) while my friend went with apple pie & vanilla soft serve (4.5/5). Excited to come back and try the Cookie smash ice cream sandwich. * vegan & gluten free options
I was excited to try this place but was quite disappointed. I ordered the Super Cookie Sundae with the oat milk swirl soft serve for $12 (?!) and it was not worth it at all. The soft serve was very basic, almost like something you find in a Chinese buffet, and the cookie was very hard and dry which made it extremely difficult to eat. Just adding the chocolate sauce cost an additional $0.50 more because the "free toppings" were just four types of different colored sprinkles.
10/10 recommend! The ice cream was absolutely amazing sweet, soft, and the perfect blend of vanilla and chocolate, giving you the best of both worlds. The service was excellent, and the welcoming atmosphere inside made the whole experience even better." read more

Dear Anne,…
Plenty of parking. Kids fell asleep so my husband went in by himself and told him what I wanted. I went with a small double trouble strawberry moon ice (Italian ice) and chocolate soft serve. When I tell you it's small... it's small! It's like a kids portion. The soft serve was creamy and not too chocolaty. I thought it paired well with the strawberry Italian ice. It was refreshing. read more
Great shaved ice?? Or idk what it's called but I had the guava flavor and it was amazing. HILARIOUS shake though. My friend ordered the peanut butter shake which was nearly $15-$20 PLUS it was covered in peanut butter along the rim. Also the straw he got was comically small. Basically a coffee stirrer. He didn't get to finish it bc it was too difficult to enjoy and he wouldn't dare put it in a cup holder. Just a ridiculous drink for an even more absurd price. I'd understand the price if it was a classic milkshake that has extra shake in a cool tin container but nope. It was fancy for no reason read more

I'm giving Moonscoops 3 stars because the ice cream was good. The service was good and the store is very cute. The prices, however, are unreasonable. The single scoop was so small that it was lost inside the waffle cone that I paid $2 extra for. If I'm paying $9 for a single scoop, it should at least fill the cone. read more

The service was a 100/100 along with the ice cream! Absolutely delicious! The worker behind the counter was so sweet! And the place was cute read more
I went in for some ice cream and was pleasantly surprised with a delicious oat chocolate covered marshmallow Italian ice sandwiched between twist ice cream layers. I also ordered a cup of vanilla soft serve which was simple and tasty. Service was fantastic and the shop was clean. I took away a star because the sugar cookie (not pictured) was very underwhelming. I'll definitely be back for the Italian ice and soft serve. read more

Was in town for an evening and wanted something sweet and this was the first suggestion that came up! The interior is so cute... from the "I love you to the moon" wall, to the wing wall in the back... it is very aesthetically pleasing. When I walked in, there was a sort of like... debriefing...? for how to order. Every order MUST come with 3 scoops (2 italian ice scoops and 1 soft serve) UNLESS you get a waffle cone, then you can omit one scoop. That doesn't make much sense to me. I appreciated the server who let us know that we should probably sample some flavors before deciding on what to get because some of the flavors aren't that good (looking at you, sweet mint and coffee... lol). We sampled quite a few and I decided on strawberry and guava, and my daughter decided on strawberry and cookies and cream in a waffle cone. The flavors themselves were OK... nothing spectacular but satisfied my sweets fix for the evening. My dad wanted a milkshake (he's a simple man)... so we were dumbfounded when they came out with a ridiculously big and fancy $14 milkshake... doing a little too much if you ask me. Overall, it's a cute place with a good variety of flavors that tasted pretty average in my opinion. read more

This is a hidden gem the ambiance is so beautiful and the employees are nice. Once you walk in they great you with a smile and ready to help. The ice cream is similar to a slushy with soft serve available as well. The ice cream cookies are a reasonable price. I'd definitely come back. Side note, the truckers hat are cute too. read more

What an ingenious idea! Mixing sorbet with Italian ice to create a hybrid treat that is fabuloso. Cute decor and clean with friendly, helpful staff. They have so many yummy options to choose from but each product on their own is exceptional. They have so many freshly made flavors. While the price point may be a bit high, the portions are quite generous and the quality is high. It's worth it. Go check it out. read more
