Moonlight Yogurt and Ice

Great Place! The owner is awesome! So nice, helpful, & full of knowledge. Doesn’t hurt that he knows how to make awesome Teas, Boba, yogurt, etc… Yum yum yum! Go! Also, get the Rewards Stamp Card!

great little local spot, right around the corner from my best friends house so we go so often.
green flash + boba is my go to, next time i go i wanna try the peanut butter acai bowl though, sounds delish.

This place is fantastic. They don’t have many flavors of frozen yogurt, but the place is very small so I don’t blame them! Their boba is pretty great too!

Love this place! I always get a snow bubble with boba or a milk tea with boba! They have espresso now too so it’s usually a one stop shop for me. The owner Jerry is always so happy and fun! The customer service is always very nice and helpful. Keep up the good work!

Have been in twice, had Thai coffee with boba and an iced latte with boba. Both were good, I prefer the latte because you can decide the sweetness, and it’s made fresh to order as opposed to a syrup/​concentrate. The boba has an excellent texture and is made fresh daily.
Friendly service both times, I will be back again and again, I’m sure.

I was super patient when I took my half an hour lunch break here, and it looked like the crew was having some technical difficulties. I ordered a frozen pomegranate lemonade, because I was told it could be made that way and I could get it with boba. Well the guy made it once, then handed it to me and it was made really wrong. Like chunks of ice just floating in the lemonade. I waited almost my whole lunch break there, and finally when my drink was remade, you guys only made it a Pom– frozen slushy (blended ice and Pom juice). I went in there asking if they could make a frozen lemonade with boba… I didn’t get that :/

One of my favorite places in town. Jerry is the best person on the planet and will do anything to make his customers happy. The whole staff is really friendly and nice.

I love this place! I drive twenty minutes to come here instead of other alternatives. The matcha snow bubble and Thai tea snow bubble are my two favorite and the boba is always great. Unless you’re going early call to make sure they still have boba left because they’ve been out as early as 8pm.

Came here with some friends after dinner to get some dessert. This place has so many options for things to order! Acai bowls, smoothies, froyo, fresh fruit. I feel like the list can go on and on. I decided I wanted some froyo. They have about 8 flavors to choose from. I love, love, love peanut butter so I went with that and added almonds, graham cracker crumbs, yogurts chips, strawberries, a few of the strawberry boba balls, and a few cheesecake pieces. The peanut butter froyo was good but not the best peanut butter froyo I have ever had. After I took the picture, I added a TON of whipped cream that came out of a whipped cream dispensing bottle. It was super fresh and very fluffy. I felt like pricing was very fair for what you get. I struggled for a little after paying looking for a spoon. I looked where I thought they would be and couldnt find one. I finally figured out that they were next to the drinks area. I felt dumb after I found them. My friends struggled after me so maybe it wasn’t me haha The staff was friendly enough but nothing over the top amazing. The menu board was a little cluttered looking and hard to read and decipher. I would come back here though. I want to get an acai bowl from here next.

Enjoyed a tasty and refreshing «Avolicious» smoothie. A combination of avocado, greens, yoghurt, and lemon.

We were staying a few blocks from Moonlight State beach and had dinner. Looking for some desert and Moonlight Yogurt & Ice popped up. This place has a huge front with lots of outdoor tables and chairs to enjoy the nice weather.
They have self serve yogurt with a very little toppings bar, smoothies, I thought some coffee and other stuff (sorry I forgot).
My son, daughter, and nephew got their special watermelon smoothie. It was fresh watermelon and we added boba. I got the Mango Tango which had fresh Mango and some yogurt in it and not sure what else. Of course, had to get my boba too.
The mango tango was really good not to sweet and the boba was nice and fresh. Not to chewy but good. I ordered the small size but for some reason they gave me a large cup something about adding boba they gave me a bigger cup. Doesn’t make sense but I’ll take it. No complaints from me.
So refreshing sitting outside drinking your smoothie and being close to the beach. Nice a calming with a really good smoothie.
They had like four people working there pounding out everything. Nice and friendly but really busy and popular.
If your ever in the Moonlight Beach area and got a sweet tooth then this is the spot for your. Eat, drink, and relax.

Green monster goodness… Say what! How can vegetables taste so darn good? Don’t believe me go check it out! Lovely friendly chap serving goodness at 7am too! Awesome

Great coffee and smoothies! The owner is really nice and you can’t beat the location.

Great boba and selection of drinks. Had a fresh watermelon slushy boba which was great. The outdoor seating is kind of limited and dilapidated. Both cashiers I talked to gave me the wrong amount of change and had difficulty doing mental math, but they kindly corrected their mistake.
Easygoing store, just make sure to keep track of the numbers.

I like this place, used to go here more when it was berry happy. They have really good boba, I don’t know why it’s so good but it tastes really good here for some reason. The only two things I don’t like about this place … 1. The younger employees need to step it up and give less attitude, been in there a few times and is always attitude…2. Nearly every time I cone here past 7:30 they are out of boba, I don’t know why they can’t just get some more, especially if it’s a recurring issue. So totally love this place they have great drinks but just those things ehh.

Location and hours here are great. Super convenient and the drinks /​yogurt never let you down.
The drinks here can make one expect a Tapioca Express style boba but they really have their own coastal style which is VERY refreshing for a beach beverage.
Talking with staff and the owner over my reign here as duke, I’ve learned the ingredients for smoothies are fresh and while they currently source from whole foods and the like, they plan to work with local producers to create some farm to (cup?) local fresh drinks — which is awesome.
The yogurt is definitely above the quality of chains like yogurtland (over which I also graze duke-​dom at my local joint so I am not saying YL is bad, just predictable), and you can taste a freshness that, when coupled with a smoothie or fruit slushy, makes Moonlight beach area feel all the more tropical.
I definitely applaud the owner and management here as they have been doing a great job turning this piece of real estate — which seemed to have a high turnover rate before — into an much needed service for the beach area as well as an establishment which plans to participate in the local economy and culture.
The only downside I have ever experienced here is a slight lack of enthusiasm of customer forward service with some of the younger staff. I would definitely place the employees here at above average for a high school /​just graduated customer interaction level, but that is still below par.
I understand the need for cheaper labor but there are ways to work around that: a smaller more reliable staff with skin in the game and invested in the success of the business, a cultural shift to something endearing such as Kealanis, Swamis or Manhattan but that just takes time to become an inseparable part of the community — which they are well on their way.
Until then, I will look forward to updates my review from 4 to 5 stars, and keep enjoying their refreshing offerings on such warm beautiful beach days as these (in March too — perfect location)

Top notch customer service! Jerry went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent experience. Delicious espresso, outdoor seating, free wifi and great location. But above all else, the friendliest customer service I’ve experienced in Encinitas.

I stopped here after doing the Cardiff Kook run since it was right at the finish line. I got a green smoothie with kale, mango, pineapple, and coconut. It was delicious and just what I needed after running!

I mostly write positive reviews unless I feel strongly that something needs to be said.
They do have descent yogurt and toppings. But I almost couldn’t find out. I first went there on a nice warm evening. But it took me 5 minutes to pay because the the staff was talking with all their teenage friends who were just tasting samples — and then never bought anything.
Went there tonight. There were only a couple of folks in there and I was served fairly quickly. But since they only have a few parking spots (several near the store are only for the adjacent Resturant). The band that plays there regularly took half of them. I had to park a block away.

Green Monster protein shake !!! Taste amazing after 30 miles bike ride !!!
