We came in on a Sunday evening and there was a good sized crowd, which is always a good sign. We were just looking for a little treat before road tripping back from the beautiful Nashville IN and it looked like their menu had everything under the sun. I was shocked every time the tv menus would rotate around! They have anything you could want! For just our quick trip, we got some hot chocolates. The beverage was delicious, nicely chocolatey and the perfect drinking temperature from the start. It was $5 for a 12 oz, which is a fair price for the delicious drink. I noticed that they have a good range of seating options, from larger group tables to couches. It was a really nice place to wind down before hitting the road. I also saw they sell a lot of varieties of locally roasted coffee that looked good. I personally am not in Nashville often but I'd definitely make a trip back. read more

The service was so-so and I felt like just someone they were waiting on. (Not that im anyone special, but still.) I ordered a latte that was similar to a gas station coffee. It was okay but not something that would make me want to go back. They do sell ice cream so ... maybe that part was better. It's just not a place for specialty coffees. read more

Don't you just love visiting an ice cream joint, and then ignoring the ice cream on the menu and ordering a BLT on a whim, and finding out that it's one of the best BLTs of your life? Don't you just love that? The BLT at The Chocolate Moose is served on a toasted croissant, with slices of crispy bacon, lettuce and tomato. You can get it with mayo or not (I did not). I think the smart move is to ask for extra bacon. The extra bacon put this sandwich over the top! I don't know if it was because of the extra bacon, or because it was tomato season, but the BLT was perfect and just what I needed. I got some potato wedges to go with my sandwich, and I loved those almost as much as my sandwich. Dang, The Chocolate Moose! Who knew you had such good food? Everyone is raving about the ice cream, but I'm over here screaming (OK, murmuring) about the food. I'm not the biggest ice cream fan, but I do occasionally enjoy ice cream as long as it has some stuff in it. It needs texture and things I can chew on. One of my favorite ice cream treats is a turtle sundae, because it has pecans and caramel in it -- a winning combination. Because I was at an ice cream shop, I thought, "What the heck?" and ordered a cup of sweet mucus -- I mean, ice cream. The turtle sundae that I got at The Chocolate Moose was great! I just wish it had more pecans, but I suppose you can ask for them, which I didn't think to do. They have several different kinds of sundaes, as well as ice cream sandwiches, milkshakes and vegan ice cream. There's a drive-thru, which is convenient, but there is very little parking, which is inconvenient. The people that I encountered who work here were super friendly and nice, which was nice. read more

The Chocolate Moose has become a family tradition every time we come to Brown County and Nashville, Indiana. Several years ago, we were on our way out of town and my mom wanted to treat the kids to some ice cream. We had such a nice time sitting and relaxing over ice cream after our family trip. The next time we visited Nashville, mom was with us and we ended up at this little ice cream parlor, once again. And another time, as well. Mom just loved getting her grandbabies some ice cream, I guess! Ever since that time, whether my mom is along for the trip or not, my kids beg to go to The Chocolate Moose. Now, I just plan for it as a normal part of our excursion. Lots of great flavors and add-ins. The coffee is great, as well as the milkshakes and sundaes. It's not the cheapest, but I don't think I've ever found an "affordable" ice cream shop, so just shut up dad, and get with the program! The memories far outweigh the small loan I could have taken out to cover our many visits to the Moose! The next time you find yourself in Nashville, make sure and swing by The Chocolate Moose on your way in or as you exit. It always adds that little extra something special to our trips. read more

Don't get me wrong, their ice cream is amazing but they are not a very consistent business. Constant closing before posted times, drive thru is only open half the time. It's very frustrating. read more

Excellent ice cream. Lots of different flavors and several vegan selections. All the ice cream is local made and so rich. They also do coffees. I'll be back again. read more

We visited this restaurant on a trip to Nashville, IN. They have a fairly large menu with a variety of options. The service is a little slower and the dining room fills up at busier times. The employees were friendly and courteous. Everyone enjoyed their ice cream treats, shakes, and drinks. The coffee is locally sourced. It was a little on the weaker side but had a good flavor. It's worth a try! read more

We are currently staying in Nashville and it's a really busy weekend here. Lots of folks down for the IU game with Illinois. So all the breakfasts houses were jammed full with wait lines. We decided to stop at the Chocolate Moose for a latte and figure out where to eat. Came inside and they had a full menu, including some tasty sounding breakfast sandwiches. Yea, we found our breakfast place. The sandwich was very tasty, really just the size meal I like in the morning. Thank you Chocolate Moose read more

THE BEST INDIANA ICE CREAM! That is my review for my favorite place 'The Chocolate Moose.' Fun staff! Epic flavors. Ice cream only melts real slow. Moose is THE BEST! Super awesome place! Yelp stole my elite status. (This review is better than elite!) Review: 6+ read more

The Chocolate Moose is a locally owned and operated ice cream shop that sells much more than ice cream. The ice cream is homemade with about 16 different flavors. Portions are huge with a small giving you 2 big scoops. I had the Brown County Coffee small cone. The ice cream was sweet and delicious. There was so much ice cream that I couldn't eat it all! Our server was friendly and accommodating. He provided a cup for my granddaughter so she could manage the huge cone. They also serve sandwiches and hot dogs. The all beef hot dogs looked great. They make a variety of specialty coffees, smoothies and teas. Those looked great and I will try next visit. They have a small dining room with tables and sofas and an outdoor patio area with picnic tables. The location in Nashville attracts tourists visiting the historic artist town. They also sell locally roasted Brown County Coffee by the bag. There were about 8 or so different flavors. read more

The Chocolate Moose is a great little all-purpose coffee and ice cream shop. They offer many varieties of coffee. Their ice cream options are amazing - both soft serve and homemade varieties. Including cones, sundaes, BANANA SPLITS, and more. They have sub sandwiches, Mac 'n cheese, hot dogs fries, and a whole wall full of other options. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The store is clean. It must be good because the locals stop by, too. There is indoor and outdoor seating. If you're in the area, I recommend you stop by. read more

Went in to order some ice cream, and the cashier named Abriana was unfortunately rude to me. When I tried ordering a "cookies and cream" ice cream, she said, in a very unenthusiastic and disrespectful tone, "No, we don't have that," and didn't offer any suggestions or alternatives. I then ordered a vanilla ice cream with hot fudge (keep that in mind), and as I'm writing this review, there is not a single drop of hot fudge just a cup that tastes like mostly whipped cream with a little ice cream. Now, going back to the "cookies and cream" ice cream, we asked for whipped cream, a cherry, and some Oreos--nothing crazy. When we received the ice cream, there was no whipped cream or cherry, so I asked, "Hey, would I be able to get whipped cream on this and a cherry?" The lady who grabbed it was very nice and said, "Yes, of course." Then Abriana noticed and said, "She didn't order that, don't give her that." Fortunately, I did end up getting my whipped cream. I've been here a few times and those visits were pretty okay, which is the only reason this isn't a 1-star review. read more

I used to live in Bloomington and for as long as I can remember, the chocolate moose was amazing. It was a vibe going to the old stand and getting a kids cone while waiting on a frenchie. The college kids working so hard in that little hut will always be a memory. I loved it. So why the 3 stars? The other day I found myself in Nashville and although it had been years, it wasn't my first time visiting the Nashville location. I got the Cookie Monster sundae... there wasn't even 1 piece of cookie dough on it. I had already walked out and ate 3 bites before I realized. No I didn't take it back, I just figured I'd eat what they gave me. I'm not picky. It had brownie pieces and Oreo on it, but no chocolate ice cream so I knew it wasn't one of the other sundaes on the menu. It just wasn't that good. I was disappointed. So maybe I need to go back to Bloomington for ok time sakes. Maybe I need to order differently and maybe I need to make sure I get what I actually ordered, but one things for sure, the chocolate moose needs to do better. read more

Friendly greeting, a great selection of ice cream items as well as food. We didn't try the food, but did go for the ice cream. If you're a chocoholic like me, you must try the chocolate moose ice cream!! ! read more

Our absolute favorite ice cream spot in Bloomington! The vegan options are incredible (especially the grasshopper), and the employees are always welcoming and friendly. read more

The vegan ice cream is yummy! Will definitely come here again :) super friendly staff!

We're locals and The Chocolate Moose is our favorite ice cream shop in town. The ice cream is super flavorful and there are lots of menu options and mix ins. Grasshopper is our favorite (mint ice cream with Oreos instead of chocolate chips)! Our daughter gets Chocolate Moose whenever she scores a soccer goal. Keeps her motivated. LOL read more

The ice cream was amazing! The ice cream is a lot so it's easy to share with someone! Service was slow but good. This town is a very slow down town so no one is rushing around to do anything! It's not a bad thing though. The ambiance was fun. They have games for kids to play and cute booths to sit in. They do have parking on the side of the store! read more

After completing our seven vistas challenge, Brown County Visitors Center listened to our little one describe how eager she was to get a popsicle at the camp store, and the staff there sent us here. Score! We beat the muggy midwestern heat here with a decent ice cream menu, multiplied by shake and sundae options. There are bright slushes and snow cones, perfect for little palettes, and a Brown County Coffee Co. menu for grownups including standards and pour overs. Next time! There were five vegan ice creams the day we visited. Parking isn't huge, but the there are so many treats inside--pretty consistent with the rest of Nashville! The butter pecan on a simple sugar cone was perfect. read more

Such a cute little ice cream/coffee place. Their ice cream menu is front and center, but they have a full coffee menu too, with espresso (regular & decaf!) and iced coffee. I got a decaf tiramisu iced latte, half-sweet, and it was delicious. Service was quick and friendly too. Will definitely be back for soft serve at some point soon. read more

They are always super friendly at the Moose and I always bring my own ambiance. I had the pumpkin ice cream. I made it a sundae with caramel, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Yummy!!! read more

We were really surprised at how long we had to wait for our order. It was Memorial Day weekend, so that likely affected it, but we waited over an hour for ice cream at like 7:30 pm on Sunday night putting us dangerously close to kid bedtime. The whole place was packed! The ice cream was tasty but we ended up thinking we should have just gone to the adjacent gas station instead of getting back to the park after 9 pm when ice cream was all consumed etc. They should staff better! The staff was hustling as much as they could but between drive through orders and in house orders there just weren't enough of them to keep up. read more

I had the best caramel latte from your place yesterday morning about 9:30! It was exactly as I had hoped - sweet enough but not too much and creamy! It was my first time trying your coffee drinks and I'll be back for them! Have enjoyed your ice cream many times over the summer. read more

We went twice during our visit. The first visit was for ice cream which was oh so good. The second visit was for breakfast the next morning because my friend told me how great the breakfast croissants were. They did not disappoint! read more

We stopped at this chocolate moose on the way home from church. we wanted to see how this store compared with the bloomington site. This store had all the look and feel of a coffee shop surrounded by food and ice cream dessert. The store wafted with the great smell of coffee. You can gather indoors or outdoors. I would go back. but please add some different breads read more

On the upside, looks like they had plenty of help. My cookie dough cone was lacking cookie dough and tasted chalky. There were four of us and the other three got their ice cream in cups, so the fact that the ice cream was way too soft didn't bother them. Good comments on the taste of the blue moon and chocolate peanut butter flavors. The amount of ice cream for one scoop was generous, but we will skip The Chocolate Moose next time. read more

This ice cream place sells a wide variety of ice cream and beverages and has a nice feel to it. I had the chocolate explosion which comes with their "homemade moose chocolate ice cream", hot fudge, oreo, whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. It was very sweet. Other in my group tried the strawberry cheesecake sundae and the tie die. They said that the tie die was not great but the strawberry cheesecake was good. They also sell mocha frappe which I did not get to try. I will probably go back try it someday. The wait time was very high .. I had to wait for over 40 minutes to get my order but it was a Sunday evening and there were a lot of people too. read more

Good ice cream. Really good ice cream. The menu is a bit confusing if it is your first visit, and you can't see the ice creams - they are in the back. You can ask for a sample. (They were a bit annoyed at that, but they did offer the taste.) I would suggest not ordering anything other than the small. I ordered a medium while everyone else ordered a small. Mine was the smallest of them all. All that said - it is very, very good! Pay attention to the torch cone. It is only $0.50 for a very small soft serve. read more

I've been here a couple of times, but I prefer the Bloomington location. The last time I went here we had bad service. They have a lot of younger employees who sometimes enjoy talking more than serving.. but that's not the ice cream's fault! The parking situation here is kind of rough, especially in the summer during peak season. The ice cream is wonderful as always. Opt for the drive through, you'll get through quicker than going inside on a busy day. :) read more

A delightful place to grab some ice cream, a shake, or lots of other things.

The cream was good. The order got mixed up, but the girl was new, and they fixed it. Picnic tables outside are a good place to eat and not freeze in A/C eating ice cream. Love that they have vegan ice cream since milk and I don't get along. read more

Not impressed. Read multiple stellar reviews online so decided to try it. Menu advertised snow cones but they aren't serving snow cones or slushes at all...decided to get a scoop of Lemon Custard & all I can taste is a ton of very fake lemon flavoring. Didn't seem like anything special compared to other ice cream places. Would've rather had Baskin-Robbins :/ the employee who took our order was not very friendly but everyone else seemed friendly enough! read more

We stopped at The Chocolate Moose on a whim after a day of mountain biking and a late lunch at Big Woods Pizza. It was a hot day, so ice cream sounded great, and we happened to see this spot while driving by. It's a pretty typical ice cream shop, with some indoor and outdoor seating. I opted for two scoops, Cheesecake and Butter Pecan, on a sugar cone. We sat outside and enjoyed our ice cream, and then headed on our way. The ice cream was pretty good, and I would stop at this spot again if we're in the area and looking for dessert. read more

If you like ice cream..and don't care if good ice cream is a bit pricy, (lactose intolerant myself). If you're used to paying Starbucks prices for coffee, the Moose has better for the same price. If you're not in a hurry the sandwiches are amazing. Biggest root beer float I've ever seen. Local business originated in Bloomington. Vegan options. Etc. read more
