I dream about their twist soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. I'm a small child, I know! I really try to order other things, but the heath wants what the heart wants. And this heart always goes back to twist soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. This place truly has it all though! You can get mix-ins, flavors of the month, food, shakes...the list goes on. The Chocolate Moose is a Bloomington staple and should be visited anytime your in town or frequently as a resident.

We have been coming in for 1 scroop of vegan vanilla for years. It's always been a treat to have somewhere we can get a treat with all of our food allergies! That said, I was bummed when I found out they stopped using coconut and are using oatmilk instead. I get the reasoning behind it though.Vegetarian options: They have a few vegan flavors. It was coconut milk and has been changed to oat milk as the base.Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options

Went here for the first time on a Monday at 10pm. My first thought is that the prices are way too much for what it was. $7 or $8 for a small?! I got the chocolate moose dream, which had peanut butter, and it was good. I got it in a sundae with hot fudge and hot caramel and pecans. But the cup they used didn't allow for much of the toppings (or they put too much ice cream for the toppings). It was a Styrofoam cup, so that helps with melting. My husband got the Cinnamon ice cream in a waffle cone. The waffle cone was great, with added $ 2 cost. I think every sundae should come with a triangle of a waffle cone. They should have a menu that you can hold in your hand that lists everything, in case you can't see the other menu on the back wall. The girl working was very nice and let me try 2 different flavors. It was also kind of weird that you couldn't see the ice cream options. They were in the back around the wall. So that's why a photo with the name of the ice cream should be available in menu size paper. They had lots of options for seating, esp with large groups. The straws and napkins were right there, which was nice. They actually carry Mr.Pibb pop, which is nice to see!

Can't complain one bit. Very good. This is an ice cream place but the food was legit as well. Especially late nights.

Really enjoyed our ice cream from the Chocolate Moose! They have a lot of seating. Our desserts were made quick and we did not have to wait long to order or pick up our food. The soft serve was amazing and the pricing was good for our items. It is clean and the outdoor area was nice to enjoy our desserts!

Btown classic. Tried their Velvet Rope flavor and the Nutella was an EXCELLENT addition to their cheesecake flavor ?

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy dining here after visiting the Wonderlab Museum every time we visit Bloomington. We always get an ice cream but last time I even got a BLT and it was delicious and the atmosphere is always upbeat! Very busy place but service time wasn't bad! Kudos to the employees for keeping up with business with smiles on their faces!

It's quite a drive for me, but when I'm in town for dinner I make a point to stop when there's room in my belly. So tasty.

Old fashioned ice cream place in downtown Bloomington. Lots of options including soft serve, hard, sundaes, milk shakes and ice cream sandwiches.Not the best I've ever had but still good. The place has been around Bloomington for a long time.If you are in the downtown area, it is worth stopping.
