    Been passing here many times after visiting the Naval Base but didn't get a chance to try this place . I always see the line that goes all the way outside. But yesterday after dining in the area we went to check them out again and luckily it had a short line. We decided to get their FLIGHT so we can try different Flavors. It looks very small on their Menu list and in their sample display but we were all surprised when the Lady started scooping the Ice cream, they are big Scoops! On the Flight, you can choose 6 different flavors that you want , we chose the MANGO SORBET , NUTELLA BANANA , MOCHA , CARAMEL , TOASTED COCONUT , THIN MINTS . Every flavor we chosed were delicious and the best part is that they are not overly sweet. So many Ice cream flavor selections and they also have other things for sale other than ice cream , they have a section of Shirts and cups with their Ice cream name printed on them. Friendly service, street parking mostly, I got lucky to find a parking space just in front of their store.

    Truly cannot go wrong with MooTime. They have so many unique flavors to choose from. The sampler is a great value since you're basically getting 6 scoops. I had the s'mores sundae which was very sweet and chocolatey perfect on a warm day!

    It is very cute and you can tell this is a favorite as many people go here. There was no line when we went on Mother's Day so that was nice. There is lots to choose from but we just wanted to taste it so we got just one scoop. I got the double chocolate ice cream and my daughter got the cherry chunk. The taste was very thick, creamy and smooth. Probably one of the most creamy I have ever tasted. It was very good. The size was however one of the smallest scoops I've seen. My one small scoop in a tiny cup and my daughter's one small scoop was a total of a little over $14. I guess I was expecting a scoop like handels or any other ice cream spot. I think it's overpriced but I guess for the location and experience, it's a once in long while kind of visit in my opinion.

    We've been to Moo Time Creamery twice in the past week, and it's officially become one of our favorite dessert spots. My kids love coming here--not just for the ice cream, but for the experience. They always get excited to see the life-size cow and the Elvis Presley statue outside. It's kind of become our little tradition after walking by the beach near the Hotel Del, and it just adds to the fun, family-friendly vibe. The ice cream itself is delicious, with a good variety of flavors to choose from. I also liked that they offer some more creative options you don't always see at other places. One of my favorite things is the sampler--you can get six different scoops for under $11, which is perfect for sharing with the family and trying a bit of everything. The only downside is that it does get pretty packed, especially during dinner time. There's usually a line, and seating is limited, so just be prepared for that. Overall, it's such a fun and tasty spot, especially if you have kids. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Coronado.

    Fantastic ice cream! I don't particularly enjoy ice cream, but they have wonderful flavors and a delicious ice cream base. I was very impressed with their variety and different flavor options compared to most other ice cream parlors/stores. Don't be hesitant with their line as it moves quickly! Really easy to order and then your ice cream is served to you within minutes. My husband and I decided to try the flight of 6 different ice creams. In their display it looked small and a great way to try multiple flavors. They really packed in the ice cream so we essentially had 6 full scoops of ice cream. Great to share with someone! We tried their august flavor (lemon blueberry), butter pecan, Nutella banana, chipped mint, brownie batter, and toasted coconut. I will say the lemon blueberry was a stark difference from in flavor compared to our selection so it did not blend well, but it would have been great on its own! I really did love the butter pecan, chipped mint, and brownie batter the most. The butter pecan and chipped mint are usually my top flavor choices anyways so this was no surprise. I was honestly impressed with the brownie batter though. So good! I enjoyed the Nutella banana and the toasted coconut but my husband loved them. They were his top along with the brownie batter. We also order a Ube cookie on the side and it was so soft and delicious! Would go here for that cookie alone. Such a fun stop in Coronado.

    Such. Good. Ice cream! If you are coming to Coronado and have a sweet tooth, MooTime needs to be on your list. It's in a great location with tons of shops and areas to walk around to. They only have outdoor seating but there is a lot of tables available. Don't be surprised when you see a line out the door, it goes quick! The menu is huge with a ton of great flavors and toppings to pick from! They have a lot of creative, unique flavors you wouldn't find in other places. Silly Vanilly was a hit for the kids and very good. I got a Peanut Butter milkshake and it was amazing! We will absolutely be back. Such a cool, old-school creamery vibe here. The staff was excellent and the ice cream is 100% worth stopping for!

    MooTime!! A coronado/san diego legend! Everyone knows about it. There's always a line haha. But it is so worth it. Waffle cones are the same price as a cup (amazing) and if you get the waffle cone, it is an insane amount of ice cream for the small mini moo size. We usually do one "mix in" which is really good. And they give out pup cups for our dog! Everyone is always super nice, even when they're super busy. We probably go here every other week. Lots of flavors/mix ins. Love this place!

    Glass next to milk shake
    Nicholas J.

    Shake was good. But the glass added to the drink was not so great. It was lucky that I felt it in my lip before swallowing it. Not sure how this got in there. Or what it came from. But unfortunate. I hope no one else has to deal with that. Other than that. I've been coming here for 10 years and never had an issue.

    Moo Time is an absolute must-stop whenever you're in Coronado. The fun, themed décor sets the tone right away, and honestly, you can smell the shop from down the street in the best way possible. It instantly pulls you in. Despite how busy it can get, the service is always efficient and well-run. Don't sleep on the hot fudge or their specialty sundaes, they're next level and totally worth it. I'm usually a classic mint chip gal (which is excellent here), but I've tried plenty of other flavors and treats and have never been disappointed. Iconic, delicious, and always a good idea.

    Teressa W.

    Freaking adorable. So many delightful and fun options - not your typical ice cream shop. They have massive waffle cones you can upgrade your order to - or you can take the free waffle cone that comes with the price of the ice cream. You can make it into an ice cream sandwich as well! Took my boys and they loved it. Place is super cute and the people who work there were all so nice and happy.

    Rachel G.

    This place was sadly disappointing. Not only do they not give out samples so you can figure out what flavor you want (which I think is outrageous for any ice cream shop!) but it was also $30 for a one scoop cup and a two scoop cup with 3 toppings! I was hoping this would be a nightly walk for ice cream, but once is enough to say you've done it.

    Little Moo Cherry Vanilla and Chipped Pomegranate
    Nancy H.

    We saw this place on social media and saw the GIANT portion sizes. It did not disappoint! Be aware that parking is difficult, we parked at a nearby neighborhood. The ice cream spot had cute and vibrant decor all around. They let you sample 2 flavors per person. We ended up getting the Little Moo (which was not so little at all) with Cherry Vanilla and Chipped Pomegranate flavors. This was less than $10, great bang for your buck! Ice cream was thick, not too sweet, but we wish there was more flavor. Love how the Cherry Vanilla had actual large pieces of cherry in it! There's no space to sit indoors, so we ate outside and enjoyed the sunny day. Overall, we would gladly come back to try their other flavors.

    MooTime Creamery is a fun little ice cream shop that's perfect for a sweet stop while walking around Coronado. The ice cream was creamy and flavorful, and the environment has a classic family friendly vibe. Service was quick and friendly even with the crowd. Great stop after a walk at Coronado!

I was so impressed by the flavor combinations! We were given the option to combine two flavors of gelato in the same cup, which was a fun way to try a couple of options. We tried (and loved!) the Mango Sorbet, the Wild Strawberry Swirl gelatos, along with a Strawberry Kiwi pop. Most of the pops were made with real chunks of fruit, which I loved seeing.

There was a small line but it went pretty fast and I enjoyed looking at all the decor like the cute ice cream cone light fixtures. There's also a big popsicle ice cream statue outside the shop you can take a selfie with. It's a small space but the beach beyond is vast and it's easy to stroll and eat at the same time. Overall a really fun stop! I love how much food and amenities in near the Hotel Del and this did not disappoint!

Since we had never tried a European-style café before, we thought we'd give it a shot. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Everything from the food to the ambiance and overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The paninis were unbelievably bland -- they really need some kind of sauce or spread because they had almost no flavor at all. On top of that, the prices were surprisingly high for what we received. The desserts were around $11 each, and they didn't even taste fresh. The bread pudding was so hard we could barely get our fork through it. The only redeeming thing about this place is the location. Otherwise, the tables and floors looked unclean, which made the whole experience even more off-putting. This restaurant really needs to revisit its menu and overall upkeep because, as it stands, it's not a place we'd return to.

I ordered the small passionfruit shaved ice stuffed with avocado pistachio ice cream and topped with condensed milk. The ice cream alone deserves its own moment. It was easily some of the best I've had. Rich, creamy, and genuinely impressive. The shaved ice, though, didn't land the same way for me. The menu leans heavily into fruit flavors, which just don't pair that well with something like pistachio or chocolate-based ice cream. The passionfruit itself was pretty tart, which might work on its own, but it clashed with the creaminess of the ice cream. I found myself wishing they had options like coconut, amaretto, or chocolate syrups to balance things out better. Also, coming from New Orleans, I'm used to condensed milk being layered throughout, not just on top. It makes a difference in every bite. And honestly, the price here is noticeably higher for something that didn't quite hit the same. I'd come back for the ice cream without hesitation. As for the shaved ice, it just didn't quite deliver that nostalgic snowball experience I was hoping for. The service was phenomenal though. And it was a lively crowd.
