Got a "Kiddie Moo" size carrot patch cheesecake ice cream, which is loaded with real carrots then slow cooked in aromatic spices and orange zest along with that classic cheese cake flavor. It was almost like a slight taste of fall mixed with Easter traditions and "who could be mad about that"?! It was Amazing! Homemade history of ice cream that originated in California. Moo Pies & Moo tacos are the most popular here. However, they have many rotating unique ice cream blends and staple ice cream flavors. Additionally, they offer cakes, creative sodas, shakes, gelato, sorbets, baked goods, mix ins and more! Note- They guarantee hormone-free, gluten-free, and free of high-fructose corn syrup products. Definitely a fun spot to visit and enjoy! It's a sweet & memorable place to experience if you are in Coronado.

We have came to the spot before and it reminds me of like an old school ice cream shop. They even have an Elvis getting out front. There was a short line, but it gave us time to look over the menu. We decided to go with the banana split. When I went up to the server, I had her omit the marshmallow topping they had listed as a topping, which she said they don't add the anymore anyways. I also told her not to add a strawberry topping and she looked kind of annoyed when I mentioned that. I told her I just wanted fudge topping. After ordering, we did about five minutes to get our ice cream and found a seat outside. It was a nice day, so I didn't mind the sun However, our ice cream started of melting, so we had to eat really fast.

I would recommend this place and definitely coming back on my trip I recommend this place because it's very reasonable.

Yes, it's a pricey gelato shop, but the quality makes it worth every penny…read more Understandably, not everyone wants to pay almost $10 for 2 scoops of gelato or an ice pop. But I also think it's important to include that this isn't a basic, regular, run-of-the-mill indulgence. These decadent, house-made gelatos are absolutely delicious, refreshing, and IMHO, priced correctly for the quality of ingredients used, which can be tasted. 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. The Wild Strawberry Swirl was the crowd favorite. The presentation and the kindness of the staff working the counter were also lovely. I loved the shop's location, making our post-dinner stroll on the beach with gelato in hand a delicious spring break memory!

They had no problem splitting the small and putting the two scoops in separate cups which was nice for us since we wanted two different flavors that we didn't want to melt together The quality was good! Very delicious and a yummy treat that was perfect for a hot day out on the beach. I saw some really cute looking ice cream popsicles too that I would love to try next time I'm back. 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!

The person behind the counter was so friendly and let us sample multiple flavors. I ended up doing a split scoop in a cup. I ordered a cherry flavor and another fruit flavor. Both were delicious but maybe a little too sweet for me. I will say that the portions are giant here. I definitely had a lot of trouble finishing the ice cream. Overall, the ice cream was good, and the portions were better. If I lived closer, I wouldn't hesitate to come back after eating.

We ordered the Cotton Candy and Peanut Butter flavors, both were delicious and definitely hit the spot! Each was $8.95, totaling about $17.90 for two small scoops, which felt a bit pricey for the portion size in my opinion . There are some chairs and umbrellas just outside the shop, so you can sit and enjoy your treat while taking in the view. There was a long line when we visited, and we waited around 15 minutes to order. Staff was friendly!

Really sweet and good amount of chocolate in it if you are a sweet tooth. Good minty flavor. I'd like to think the flavors here are very strong and sweet. Service: Very straightforward, order at counter and they'll scoop you your ice cream. At the end of the line when you're ready to pay they have a machine on the customer's side where you can do it yourself but it was tap only with the card. We scrambled for a second because one of the cards we had didn't have tap working. Ambiance: Nice little stop for ice cream while strolling around coronado. You can smell the sweet ice cream scent from the outside as you walk by too. There will be a line on the weekends but isn't a super long wait.

Worst brunch of my life!!…read more Where do I even begin? We were in Coronado looking for a brunch spot and this place came recommended. 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.

Customer service from Manny was amazing and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We also really appreciated that military discount was honored here. We ordered the Mini Golden Treat, which came with a warm brownie on top with whipped cream, fudge, ice cream, and a cherry. Honestly, it was the perfect size for two people to share without feeling heavy after midnight. What stood out the most was the kindness we received even as hey were closing, and our transaction was complete and paid in full. Manny still offered us cups of ice water and extra napkins without hesitation. That small gesture really added to the experience and made us feel welcomed instead of rushed out. He got a well deserved tip for that California love he gave us. I'd definitely return here whenever I'm back in San Diego. Extra deets: Manny shared the history of the failed gold rush of the owner, and how he utilized the entire chocolate plan of a drinking bar conversation and made millions. The original location is San Francisco, and he says it's like an entire block. I look forward to visiting that one day.

I'm from New Orleans and have yet to find a true snowball spot outside of there, so I wasn't about to turn around. The line looked intimidating at first, stretching to the door, but it actually moved pretty quickly. It took about 10 minutes to order and get my food, which was a pleasant surprise. 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.
