Place beats Italian Joe's. Two thumbs up. Came on a Sunday after soccer. Place is clean.

The ice here is quite unique and really good. I wasnt as impressed with their soft serve, but the real calling card here is their ice flavors. The portions are generous and reasonably priced. read more

Local mom and pop shop serving italian ice, custard, and ice cream! Small Milklati ($4.25): Choice of italian ice topped with custard makes for a winning combo! We were offered samples of italian ice before making a selection. I went original and stuck with strawberry italian ice with vanilla custard. The small was a good size but I do wish there was a small layer of custard in between the ice for the small (just like they do for medium). Love the large variety of flavors available. The shop itself is small inside but there were a couple tables right outside along with a separate area with hay bales as seats. No issues finding parking in the shared parking lot with other businesses in the plaza. read more

Italian ice + frozen custard = HEAVEN IN A CUP. This place is simply amazing. We found them randomly on Google Maps one day and never looked back. There's a reason why they have 5 star reviews everywhere. Best of all, there's no lines unlike other places! Thank you MM for providing such amazing desserts for us; consider us huge fans. read more

Listen. I LOVE this little Italian ice joint. Tucked away in a little plaza it stays consistent and the texture and flavor of the ice is a beautiful thing. Glad they're part of my neighborhood. Thankful they make a no sugar ADDED flavor (strawberry). Parking is decent in this little strip mall. There's no indoor sit down but Mike has a couple of two tops and a cute little patio outside. You can purchase hand scooped or pre packed sizes. They also sell pickles bc why not. Currently running a toy drive 12/2022 if you have something to drop. Support local businesses! read more

great location, menu, service, drinks and food!! and the deserts, the best!!! great place to take your family and friends!!!

Took my grandson for an after school treat. He loved it! He said the Italian ice was "incredible" The store itself is very small and has nowhere to sit indoors but they do have a few tables outside. read more

Still and awesome stop if you need your quick Italian Ice fix. I went with the Aloha Surfer which combined the flavors of Hawaii and love. Tastes like you are wasting sunscreen, but in a good way read more

What a great new spot! First of all, the guy who served my daughter and I was super friendly. He helped the lady before us and was very patient and kind. Then, when it was our turn, he was great and super accommodating to my indecisive daughter. Right now they are doing a BOGO special. We opted for two single scoop italian ices. Those are about 4 bucks each. And two large Miklatis... that's the soft serve with ice. Our total for four desserts came to under 10 bucks! They have about a dozen flavors, everything from horchata to sour apple. Root beer to mango. The juicy rancher and root beer float are probably my faves. Definitely check this place out... it's great! And a great value. And friendly service. I'm glad we've got one of these so close... I'm sure I'll visit again. My kiddo wouldn't have it any other way. read more

Doin' it Right I love good Italian ice. Joe's is one of my favorite places and I'll make the trek down the 57 at night to satisfy that craving. But sometimes dealing with the drive and traffic is just too much- if only there were a closer option just as good. Thankfully, there is. At first I was a little snobbish- there's a lot of bad Italian ice places- some that are just glorified snow cone shops. I eventually pulled the trigger and decided to try Mike's since it's was fairly close and man, I'm glad I did. Ice flavors are really good- not everyone is a winner for me but there are several that are good options. And the frozen custard is amazing! Some of the best I've ever had. The prices are very reasonable for the portion size and to top it off, the employees are pretty friendly and helpful. I'm honestly surprised this place hasn't blown up yet. It has the potential. Not quite Joe's level yet, but a worthy competitor. I'm sure I'll be back a lot. read more

Zidane was the best!!! Thank you so much will come again!!! Root beer float is so yummy

Got the manic berry with custard and it was so refreshing! Their mini size is more like a small! The worker was super nice and gave us samples of different flavors. There is a bunch of outdoor seating and we will definitely be back! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Their flavors are delicious and there is limited wait time. Unlike other places where the wait time can be 30 mins or longer during peak time. There are seats outside for customers. I've been coming here for years and their quality is amazing and will continue being a customer for the years. read more

I can't believe I only just recently discovered this place! My husband and I never really get Italian ice, but since we had a coupon from a local ad book, we thought we'd give it a try. When you first walk in the door, you're greeted with a warm smile. We were asked if we wanted to try different flavors, and I probably tried about 80% of all of the flavors - no judgement either. The flavors matched the unique and spunky names, and actually tasted like the fruits that they said they were made of. We both really loved manic mango, so we both got a mini milkalti with that flavor. The Italian ice was delicious, but my husband liked the custard even more! We've gone back a few times since, and I personally came back here on my own the night before my wedding day just to have some "me" time :) It's been one of my favorite dessert places, and I also love knowing that I'm supporting a local small business. I hope this place never closes!! read more

Ice cream was tasty. Wish there was more seating for families with children, but aside from nice employees we're nice and it's clean.

Super disappointed as we swing by and they were already cleaning the custard machine before 8:50pm. As an Italian I've place that promotes its custard.. it was a sad night to drive all the way to Mustache Mike's and leave empty handed. Guess we are off to Joe's Italian Ice... read more

Ice is great. They have root beer floats and ice cream too. Owner and employees are always cool. read more

Rate it 10/10 Came here for some cravings of Italian ice. Was aiming to go to Rita's, but they are recently closed. Yelped this place and decided to give it a try. Lots of Italian ice flavors, the girl working was super informative and patient. We decided to get the half Italian ice/ custard perfect pairing, both equally amazing tasting on their own but paired together is amazing . I got the mango, my bf got the cherry bomb or however you say it. I would say cheery bomb was the best with some vanilla custard ! read more

I really liked the nutter butter Italian ice they make here, or so I thought they made it here. I also thought it was Italian ice as it was listed on the menu. Apparently it is not made here and is now considered custard all of a sudden. Last week it was Italian ice and this week it was custard. Also, they are now charging a premium for it because it is custard. I was charged $10 for a Mega (medium) where it should have been $6.75. Last week one thing, this week another. Oh and to make it better it is still listed on all the menus as Italian ice. The only way I realized was that it said $10 on the receipt. As I brought it to the girls attention who were working and told them that it was not right, they recommended more affordable ice cream shops (Rich Farms and Baskin Robbins). Good luck in your future (one very upset and saddened previous customer)! Also if anyone would like a more affordable ice cream shop, please look to Rich Farms or Baskin Robbins. This came right from the employees of Mustache Mike's ( I can't speak to it). read more

My husband took me here back in June. We came here before going bowling, it was a hot day so this was a nice treat! I don't remember exactly which flavor i got nor my husband but they were both alright. Idk if it's the flavor i got or if they are all that way but it was almost a little TOO sweet. The lady who helped us was extremely patient & helpful. The inside is super small, so not much social distance...LOL. I've been wanting to come back, hopefully will make a stop here soon! read more

I'm new to the area but I found this place right by my new apartment. Amazing customer service skills it's small but they adhere to keeping everybody apart. Everyone is required to where a mask. Love the atmosphere everyone there was friendly and down to earth. They advised us on what the most popular flavors were and they were great to my niece. Every gave her extra m&ms on the side to make her night. Definitely coming here again, I found my new dessert place. Prices are reasonable and so worth going.

The service is spot on and quick. The shaved ice is bomb and if you feel like a lil ice cream custard with it it's very delicious. The custard cuts the sweet and sour just right. I prefer the custard only on top but they layer it normally. read more

Delicious for a hot day and great flavors to choose from. Definitely will be a regular here.

Horchata ice with the soft serve cream is so good. Love this place. Medium size was much bigger than expected. Delicious

As an Italian mustache mikes gave me a sweet taste home! Really great Italian ice on par with Joe's! I will say not a fan of the root bear float flavor kinda taste like someone farted in my mouth... All the other flavors I tried were great read more

What a fun and yummy place!!  The reason we were originally attracted to this place is the late operating hours, not gonna lie but I'm so glad that we did!!!  They have a huge selection of creative and amazing flavors -- including sugar free options.  You can choose the ice itself or with soft serve ice cream which knocks it up a level for sure.  I even had a special flavor that had a kick of jalapeno!   Mustache Mike is a real person haa ... epic stash which impressed my husband and became a fan for this reason alone.  Cute garb of tshirts etc you can purchase as well.  They had a cute ice cream cart outside that can be rented for parties, etc too!  Check them out, they are a family run business and their portions are appropriate and affordable.  Rating: A+ read more

Went in with my friend and we asked one of the girls working there about the sugar content in the Italian ice.. As I am diabetic I do not want to take any risks with high-fructose corn syrups, and the girl told me that the leading ingredient is just that!!!!!! just a HUGE heads up for any people who care about their health and what they put in their bodies.... read more

Vanilla Custard with Rainbow Sprinkles was my jam today. The kids loved the bubble gum x cotton candy Italian ice. Mikes got a secret stash of cartons on the inside left, and an awesome assortment of old school bottled soda pops. The A/C was pumpin and the guy at the counter was fun and positive, even gave the kids some MM stickers. We'll definitely be back for more soon! read more
