The Chocolate Moose

I visited Chocolate Moose on S Walnut St on Wed Jul 13 at about 2pm. I bought a blizzard with homemade chocolate ice cream and Oreo stir-in. I liked the blizzard, and I like Chocolate Moose, but I have two criticisms:

First, I did not know where to park. The sign (photo attached) in the parking lot only allows parking for the Chocolate Moose at 4pm - 12am. But, according to Apple Maps, Chocolate Moose opens at 11am. So where do you park at 11am - 4pm? The old building had better parking.

Second, the blizzard cost $7.29. I thought that this was a little expensive. But inflation impacts my sense of what price feels fair. Also, this includes a 3.95% service fee for paying by credit card. I would prefer that the prices on the menu included the service fee.

Best ice cream in town! Love the frappes too! The pulled pork Mac n cheese is delicious!!

We absolutely love the chocolate moose! This time we got the chocolate explosion Sunday with vegan coffee ice cream and also a freeze with vegan coffee ice cream...so freaking good! This is just the first of many trips to the Moose this year!

We saw this recommended for inexpensive sandwiches and the ice cream. The sandwich prices have gone up, apparently, and were not good enough
to be worthy of the new prices ($7-$8 each with no sides). Very basic, average lunch and breakfast sandwiches. Also got a blueberry muffin ($5) which was terrible... tasted like it was days old. VERY dry and the saran wrap taste was all over the muffin. We did like our sundae.

Stopped by after a dinner at Homey Hot Pot. The dessert choices were very good. We had Chocolate Explosion, PB and Chocolate, Turtle (mine). Everyone enjoyed their choice

This place is ice cream heaven. I don’t have a sweet tooth but this place has me coming back and trying all the different favours of ice cream and types of desserts. So far my favorites are: vanilla ice cream, cheese cake ice cream, red velvet cake ice cream, chocolate fudge ice cream, vanilla pecan sundae and so many more.

I’ve been to the Chocolate Moose Walnut location multiple times. Every time I’ve visited, the staff has been very friendly, the shop was very clean, the decoration was very nice. The only factor restricting a 5-star rating is the speed of service, or should I say lack of. If they were able to produce product quicker that would be an instant 5 stars!!! They have fantastic breakfast, ice cream, and coffee. I definitely will return again and I would recommend the Chocolate Moose!

So happy to return here 23 years later and see that the kid “torch” soft serve cone is STILL 25 cents! Miss seeing the original “shack” but happy Chocolate Moose has grown! It was my favorite stop years ago with our 4 little kids after I’d pick up the RN on-call bag for Hospice of Bloomington to work the weekends! Two of those kids were born at Bloomington Hospital which no longer exists?!! Bought me a Chocolate Moose t-shirt this time and splurged on a hot fudge sundae with chocolate peanut butter homemade ice cream which is the BEST sundae I’ve ever had! I received the order quickly and was so happy the person working remembered the original “shack” and updated me. Long live Chocolate Moose!! Not to be missed!!

Nicely done. Haven't been since the old moose. Payed homage to their roots well with lots of old photos on the walls and a cool new atmosphere.

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.
