The Chocolate Moose

SUCH a great ice cream shop. The smell of fresh waffle cones fills the store. This was an old style ice cream shop from the 1950s when I was in college. Now it's housed underneath an apartment complex, but the ice cream is still rich and flavorful. Chocolate Moose is a Bloomington staple - some of the best ice cream around.

The best ice cream in the city I must say. Nice place to sit and enjoy the sweet treats. Though the only thing I was unhappy about was the variance in quantity. The first time we went, the quantity was almost 2.5 scoops and the next time it was barely 1 scoop plus like half of the other flavor I wanted. I think the billing and tips should be done after giving out the ice cream seems that matters. All in all definitely worth the visit.🙂

besides having the best ice cream around, they are open late while everyone in town closes at 8 or 9pm. in summer you would think others would stay open later... especially if they saw how busy the moose is after 9pm. super friendly staff, perfect downtown location! if you haven't been there you really need to!

I used to love this place, but the pricing is outrageous and the last time I came here I had a bunch of tiny particles and chunks of ice in my soft serve. Absolutely disgusting. Threw my cone away, couldn't even finish that. Second time that's ever happened at an ice cream place! The truth is, chocolate moose saw its best days when they had the hut in the middle of the lot! All downhill since then. Clean your disgusting machines! Probably wouldn't even come here if somebody paid for me because the last time was just that disgusting. I want ice cream, not dirt! Plus the prices.... Never in my life should I be throwing away an ice cream cone I paid $4-5 for. For that price, it should be the best in the whole county, which it definitely is not. Maybe it used to be, but that was over a decade ago. The workers here are at least nicer than the ones at Hartzells, but obviously are lazy because my ice cream has come out filled with dirt more than once
