The Chocolate Moose

Okay everyone, here's the "scoop"! Sorry for the confusion but we were not able to stay open all winter like we had hoped. We do have the gift shop items for sale at da moose when we reopen and possibly online. Tshirts, boxers, ice cream bowls, stuffed moose, baby creepers and more. Stay tuned.

But don't despair, you can still get the delicious Vegan and regular ice creams at Bloomingfoods. Plus we are adding to our Vegan line by popular request. We have the creamiest Vegan ice "cream" on the planet! Now available in chocolate, made with coconut milk. Think Mounds Bar (R). Really creamy and tasty. And we will have more soon. Come to Bloomingfoods on January 28th for samples. We'll be at the W.6th Street store from 12 pm- 2pm and the East 3rd Street store from 3pm to 5pm.

And you can get a couple of options at Upland Brewing Company too, along with a host of other great food. We plan to reopen around March 1. Weather is the factor. Earlier if it's warm, later if we are in a blizzard. Simple enough. Thanks for being a fan. See you soon! jeff

Okay, so what is a..............?

Don't laugh, we have a lot of folks from other countries that don't know. Let's teach them about some of the best things America has to offer. Ice Cream!

Shake: Ice cream, milk and flavoring all blended together in a cup. You can drink it with a straw.

Blizz: Like a shake only more ice cream, less milk. You'll need a spoon for this thick treat.

Freeze: Like a shake only with soda water in place of milk. Sort of a tangier, lighter shake. Preferred on hot days.

Cooler: Like a Freeze only we add crushed ice. A crunchy, tangy shake. Refreshing on really hot days!

Float: Ice cream "floating" in your favorite soft drink. Root Beer is most popular, but ever tried a Cherry Sprite?

Soda: We take a flavoring, blend it with a little ice cream, then froth it up into a flavored soda and top with ice cream like a float. Not quite as sweet as a float. You can use all the shake and sundae flavors. Try one!

Dole: An ice cream for the lactose intolerant. Like a creamy, fruity soft serve ice cream but with no dairy.

Yogurt: A non-fat soft serve alternative. Many prefer it over the soft serve.

Home Made ice cream: We make it here with 15% mix. Very creamy. We use 75 year old family recipes. Grasshopper is the number one seller, but several are close behind, like Moose Chocolate.

Twinkle Coat: Think of crushed peanut brittle. Now toss in some rainbow sprinkles. Roll a cone in it or sprinkle it on a dish of ice cream. Crunchy and sweet. Many prefer it over nuts.

Nuts: And talking about our chopped nuts. They are a blend of two different peanuts, cashews and mixed nuts. All high quality and chopped together. Not your basic chopped peanuts, but a new level of tasty!

This menu needs updated for 2011. No time today but just know it's not perfect. All items are still there. Some prices have changed. We do have new items not mentioned. So keep watching.
