Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream and Treatery

i’m sad that this place is gone.
I went here at least once a year with my boyfriend
I love how they make the ice cream in front of you and all the different flavors.

Drove by this place and it’s gone. Sign taken down and empty inside.

Loved the place, sadly Maggie Moos in Mission Valley is no more. Nor is there one anywhere near by. Another one bites the dust. I guess I’ll have to settle for Cold Stone.

Being a loyal froyo fan, I was a bit skeptical but I was craving some ice cream, so we stopped in here after dinner. The nice girls behind the counter were patient and helpful and I ended up getting a tasty concoction of banana and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cup mixed in. It was just what I was craving. Thanks!

Worst ice cream shop I’ve ever been to.
My husband and I came here today. The girls working here were very rude and in a rush to get us out of there.
As we were checking out, one of them thrusted the cone in my husbands hand causing it to spill all over him and the counter. She didn’t even apologize or hand him a napkin. She hurriedly wiped the counter and shouted «NEXT» before we could even say anything.
To top it off, the ice cream was melted before we even got a chance to eat it.
I’ll never be back.

Maggie Moo’s is my all-​time favorite ice cream place: amazing flavors (ahem, BETTER BATTER!) and great mix-​ins. I love that I can choose a flavor combo and sub out items, like my Strawberry Skydive tonight with Better Batter rather than strawberry ice cream.
This location had a really friendly girl behind the counter, but I felt bad for her being the only employee with as many customers as we saw tonight. Nonetheless, she did a great job!
Also I think having the doors open (or maybe a lack of A/​C?) causes issues with the temperature. Some flavors were pitifully melted and the marble stone was covered in condensation. But if you gobble down your treat half as quickly as I do, those things shouldn’t bother your experience too much! ;)

I don’t get it. The ice cream is melty, and the «cold slab» is so warm that there are small puddles on it. A scoop, a mix-​in, and puddle. .. never again. One time deal? Nope. I see that has been mentioned a few times on Unilocal.
I have been to MM’s before in a different state. It was a consistently good experience, so I was excited about going.
Not again. Head a mile down the road toward the Q and get yourself some Coldstone.

No beating around the proverbial bush: Maggie Moo’s is a Coldstone clone. (But, according to the admittedly biased girl behind the counter, Maggie Moo’s is better.) There’s even a «frigid rock» (my words) prep table. So the value of the place comes down to the uniqueness of its predesigned concoctions as much as the quality of the cream. As for the former, I had the Banana Beach (banana ice cream, banana chunks, caramel, almond chunks), and the rest of the menu seems fun enough. In the latter aspect, the banana ice cream struck of me as being at least as good as Coldstone’s, if not slightly better. Unfortunately, there are a lot more Coldstone’s to go around.

My daughter is the reviewer here and she loved the ice cream from this joint.
She went with the sweet cream with caramel and it was super creamy and delicious. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and that was a bonus!
*She said the ice cream wasn’t as good as the one I make at home but a close second!*

Clean facility. Good ice cream. Awesome customer service. The gentleman at the counter was really nice and patient with my order and my 2 year old daughter’s order. Anyone else who can have patience with a toddler is good in my book haha. Good signature makes. But its no Coldstone. But I recently learn that this place is famous on the midwest.

Most overpriced melted ice cream in San Diego.
$ 3.24 for one scoop with barely any sprinkles. My 4 year old son threw it away after about 5 minutes because he said «it doesn’t taste good mom». And he’s a sugarholic. The colors are super bright neon and look so unhealthy. Also, we just wanted a cone, but the owner/​server insisted we have a cup and put the cone on top. He claimed it was because the sprinkles wouldn’t stay on if we just had a cone! Actually, I think it was because he knew the ice cream was so melted that it would have just dripped off the cone immediately and fallen on the floor!!! And finally, the front door was wide open and the store was not air-​conditioned on a super hot day! This was our second visit and our last.
At the first visit, ice cream was slightly less melted because it was at night. But the owner and his extended family were just hanging out and it seemed like they were all just dying to go home. Not a really customer friendly atmosphere.

It’s the same concept as Coldstone Creamery. The ice cream isn’t as thick and can even be a little melted. When I went I got the butter pecan and I wanted to mix in Heath Bar and caramel… only, they had run out of Heath Bar! So instead I had to add Reese’s Pieces and caramel. I think I prefer Coldstone…

We had this for the first time on sunday night– right before we entered my father-​in-​law called my husband to tell us that Osama Bin Laden was dead (so will always remember this place for one reason or another). My husband got a cup of ice cream– brownie bliss– and I got a small smoothie– tropical colada– it was delish (and made with fruit, juice and nonfat yogurt)! I was full from dinner so I only had half of it. Since we had a full size refrigerator with a freezer in our room, I saved the other half for the next day– yay! The ice cream creations are prepared on the marble slab, much like Cold Stone Creamery. Lots of cute ice cream cake designs and other products available here, like cupcakes.
My husband got excited when I told him that there was one in Henderson, but when I checked online, sadly there isn’t one back home, anymore. Sad face. Darn.
There was seating inside and outside, a few other people were there as well. There were two people working there– two young ladies. It closes at 10 pm on a sunday! I’m sure we will be back here again on our next trip to SD.

Loved the ice cream here, & it’s service was faster than any coldstone. I was in love with my flavor, it had butterfinger, caramel, chocolate, it was just heaven… mmmmmmmmm!!!
The problem here for me was the reason I went in was because they were promoting a couple of new flavors, between the a churro one, but when we asked for them they didn’t have the ingredients & didn’t know when they would get them.
But I still loved what I ordered. Oh yeah! and like coldstone is not cheap!

The only reason this gets 1 star is cause they have cotton candy flavor. I read reviews before going here and still went cause of its close location. Reviews are exactly as stated:
— You know how your ice cream melts after 10 min in the sun… that happend within 30 sec of receiving it, in 64 degree weather.
— flavor was sickening, me and my gf both threw out our ice creams which 1 regular and 1 child size cost around $ 9 —- NOT WORTH IT!
— felt so upset of my ruined ice cream experience i went home to Unilocal about it at 9pm
— if you want amazing ice cream try mariposas!

Short and simple, Maggie Moo’s has the best ice cream in San Diego. Their flavors taste almost too real, actually, I think a line from Willy Wonka was inspired by this place:
«THE SNOZBERRIES TASTE LIKE SNOZBERRIES»
But I might be wrong, I can’t remember.
Anyways, cheesecake, cinnamon, brownie batter, apple strudel all taste exactly like their namesakes. However, the bright blue Cotton Candy always wins my heart. Eat it up and party with a blue mouth.

The ice cream at Maggie Moo’s is fabulous. Cotton Candy may not sound like a respectable flavor for the refined palate (and in electric blue, it doesn’t look like it either), but take my word on this: it is freaking delicious.
The ice cream is creamy and incredibly yummy. I sampled so many flavors and they were all delicious. Cinnamoo is another good one.
They do the whole mash and blend thing that you find at cold stone, etc., but they also have ice cream cupcakes. They looked yummy, too.

After a hard day of digging and sorting for gemstones, my fiancé and I fully earned our Maggie Moos.
The only thing better than a cup of Maggie Moo’s Better Batter Boogie Board (Better Batter ice cream mixed with rainbow spinkles, brownies and fudge) is to substitute Chocolate Better Batter ice cream. The combination is mind-​meltingly amazing.
I’m a huge fan of Cold Stone, but I love Maggie Moos Much More. It’s a shame that there aren’t more locations closer to Los Angeles. The closest is in Chino. Me want more Maggie Moos.

Well, I’m a little biased because this is my ice cream shop! Ok, not really, but my name is in it!
My favorite flavor is the cheesecake mixed in with graham cracker so that it tastes like real cheesecake.
I love this place because they have good ice cream, I’m the star of the store, AND they sell Little Mermaid ice cream cakes! Not one, but two different kinds! What more could a girl ask for !?!

Ice cream was good, but service was lacking.
Unlike Ruben L.‘s review, the rating was hampered by the service. The worker was rude and seemed like she hated life… and us. At least the ice cream was good. It’s pretty much just like coldstone without the cheering and hoorahing. Oh yeah and some dude was trying to get an application while we were there and the worker acted snooty and said «we DON’T have applications right now.» Yikes! I guess he won’t be working there.
I got the cool mint with a york peppermint patty. The patty ws chewy like it was there for a while, but good nonetheless. I guess it’s a good place if your in the area, but from the looks of the other reviews, Maggie’s is inconsistent. Good luck.
