Maggie Moo’s Ice Cream & Treatery

An interesting, though somewhat light in selection (you create flavors by adding stuff in, I guess), ice cream joint. After sifting through a few samples (you definitely will want to do this prior to buying anything that is not named Sweet Cream), I settled on the Dark Chocolate and Sweet Cream with raspberries. My son had regular Chocolate with M & Ms and my wife had Sweet Cream and another I forget the name of with the raspberries actually blended in. This brings up a major point of annoyance. I would have liked to have tried their cookie dough mix-in…had I known it existed when ordering. I found out about it from a little sign on the wall of the bathroom. The topping are just kind of there in labeled bins, no real list of anything. I really wish they organized that menu better. It was cluttered and somewhat confusing.
The Dark Chocolate was completely disappointing. Tasted very heavy and much more like a fudge than actual Dark Chocolate. The chocolate my son had was much better. The Sweet Cream, conversely, was very good, far and away the best of anything I had. I would consider eating it again, though for the expense, I kind of don’t see it happening anytime soon.
It is enough cost, in fact, that it bears mentioning. This not an inexpensive stop, comparatively and while it is pretty good, it does not live up to that cost much. Service was very friendly and the other bright point. All in all, I think I liked the name better than the actual product overall.

Hands down our favorite ice cream shop! Staff is wonderful and the ice cream is always fresh tasting. And now they have a rewards program too! Wonderful Sugarhouse gem

Their Chocolate Cake ice cream is to die for. Even with no add-​ins it’s delicious! The ice cream is high quality and reminds me of Cold Stone’s ice cream.

I’d come to this particular ice cream shop about twelve years ago, and I remembered that it had been very good. So, I recently went back with that memory in hand and I cannot say that I was disappointed.
The employee who helped us (Amelia, I believe her name was) had a great attitude, seemed happy to be at work, and had great customer service skills. This point already puts Maggie Moo above Cold Stone. Whether or not it was actually the case, this girl genuinely seemed happy to be working there – something I have yet to experience from employees at Cold Stone.
The ice cream is made in store every morning. It is richly flavorful without being overpowering. The sweetness was just the right level, allowing the flavors to actually shine through instead of being masked by too much sugar. The mix ins are unlimited, which can be a big plus if you like a ton of mix ins. It’s still nice to have that option even if you don’t like a lot of mix ins.
The price is higher here, but as I mentioned before, the ice cream is made in store every day, and I’m willing to pay a little extra for fresh ice cream. When compared with Cold Stone (both of which have the same concept), I would go for Maggie Moo. The ice cream and service are both superior.

Unlimited mix-​ins people! The ice cream is great quality and they let you sample as much as you want. The shakes aren’t worth the extra couple bucks, go for the cones or cups. Great outdoor seating.

Solid ice cream. I dunno why I ate ice cream so frequently in the few week span that I reviewed all of these ice cream places, but as prefaced before — I don’t love ice cream, but I can appreciate good ice cream. This is good ice cream. Very creamy, good flavors, not much difference from Cold Stone, probably a million calories because real ice cream isn’t this creamy without some high-​caloric addition. I probably wouldn’t go back just because I feel like I can get this ice cream anywhere else in the city.

Maggie Moo’s recently started offering unlimited mix-​ins to their ice cream. That’s right, you can get as many cookies, candies, fruits, syrups, nuts, and sprinkles as you can cram in to your ice cream scoop for no additional charge. Don’t overdo it, or you’ll just get a cookie nut mess (as I saw a couple of customers attempting who ordered after us).
The server (ice cream jerk? dairy delivery gal? super scooper?) was very friendly, allowed us to sample to our hearts’ content, and had great, friendly conversation with us throughout the choosing and mixing process.
The ice cream itself, you say? Well, it’s made in store, so it’s fresh, but I have to admit, it’s probably not my favorite. Flavors are a tad muted as compared even to Baskin Robbins. But with the mix-​ins, with the wafting aroma of freshly made waffle cones, and friendly staff, it’s still a place to satiate your frozen dairy fix.

One of the best local ice cream in Salt Lake City. Very fine selection of ice cream, shakes, and cakes. Ice cream here have very deep flavor and unique taste. You can also personalize your ice cream by adding different mix ins.

Just a great place to beat the heat with some ice cream. Super friendly staff and lots of mix ins to choose from.

Their ice cream is terribly delicious! Why 3 stars? I think their ice cream is also terribly expensive!
And I can’t stand all of the rules —
1. If you order a sundae, you cannot have any «mix ins» in your ice cream. They can sprinkle the stuff on top of your sundae, but nope — can’t mix it in — not for a sundae.
2. If you want your ice cream in a cup, you cannot also have a cone on top. Sorry… that’s the rules.
With that said… their ice cream flavors are spot on, and delicious. They also have a great outdoor area, lots of shade, and places to sit.
Overall, the ice cream is good — but, I won’t be coming back unless someone else is footing the bill.

How did I manage to spend $ 8 on a single scoop ice cream cone? What is the world coming to…

Great ice cream. So rich, but not in an overbearing, «I need to brush my teeth between bites,» rich. I had the Swiss Cocoa Buttercup® (Chocolate with Nestle Crunch® Bar, REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups® & Fudge). A chocolate and peanut butter orgy, for sure. I was mildly tizzed that I ordered it in a cone, but the ice cream didn’t freeze up enough, so she had to put it in a cup with the cone sticking out (I know, first world concerns). But as things sometimes go, I came out of the experience a much wiser person: Not only did I have a DE-​licious ice cream cone, I also had left overs at the end to enjoy at my leisure. I also experienced a change of heart regarding the superiority of ice cream over frozen yogurt. How could I have ever considered frozen yogurt a superior product? Boggles the mind.
In the end, I’m a fan of Maggie Moo’s.

Rich ice cream with mixins and all the variety you could ask for. Coldstone can’t compete.

I thought it was okay, not quite Cold Stone, but good enough.
A bit understaffed, a bit inexperienced staff, okay flavors and combos, and a bit more pricey it seemed.
I liked it, dont get me wrong, plus is right in the middle of the little shopping plaza in Sugarhouse, but if anyone asks me to choose between Maggie’s and Cold Stone, I’d probably go for CS.
You should definitely go try it though, and get your taste, because most of my friends actually like this place better.

Clueless staff. Not willing to provide a cup after ordering a waffle cone!!!
Their customer service is horrible, I ordered a cone for my son and he needed a cup after we sat down to hold his ice cream in. The employee behind the counter would NOT provide me with a small ice cream container — she said that was «product» and they were not allowed to hand it out. Instead, she gave me a super small styrofoam cup.
So much for spending 5 bucks on ice cream! I will NEVER go back to this place.
This is the same reason the Maggie Moos closed in St. George, very poor customer service. They won’t even give you a cup of ice water and for what you pay, you should get water (and not just water from a drinking fountain in the corner behind another table).
Never, never again. Way too expensive and horrible customer services, and with high prices.

I’m so happy I was too lazy to drive down around the corner after shopping for some TCBY and gave Maggie Moos a try.
The premise is like any frozen slab ice cream place; you choose your ice cream, choose your cup or waffle cone, choose your mix-​ins, etc. I don’t usually like those places and I much prefer yogurt (which I discovered Maggie Moos has as an option) over actual ice cream, but theirs was ahhh-​mazing.
So, so, so, so, so good. Creamy and delicious, their texture and consistency reminded me a lot of Nielsen’s frozen custard, which I also find swoon-​worthy. For a small dish of ice cream (you get two free mix ins!) it’s about $ 4, and totally worth it. The small dish was rather large, and plenty of ice cream for the average person.

I simply have to give this establishment five stars– no getting around it. From the nice girl working who was patient enough to let me sample several flavors until I found what I wanted to the delicious climax of pure creamy flavor I experienced when I finally sat down to eat my ice cream, the ice cream here is really superior. I just want to know how they make it so darn creamy and delicious! I’m so thrilled that we decided to take a chance on Maggie Moo’s and take a step out of our dessert comfort zone. It was really worth it!

Maggie Moo’s is the best ice cream shop in Utah! Everything I’ve had here has been delicious! They have a wide variety of flavors that range from the classics to «WTF?». My favorite combo is the cinnamon ice cream with a graham cracker mix-​in. Everything is better with a graham cracker mix-​in! Unfortunately, the location that was close to my house closed down, so going to Maggie Moo’s is now a rare occasion. I like to make a trip up to Pib’s, have dinner at Whole Foods, then dessert at Maggie Moo’s. It is the perfect night.

So, my review may be a little bland, but that’s because I really enjoy my ice cream the most when it’s just simple. I normally don’t really add very many fixins (if at all) to my ice cream, I detest Coldstone, except for their ice cream cakes, and I just don’t like impediments on my way to eating the deliciousness that is ice cream. So therefore, I’m happiest with just a plain old waffle cone used as the vehicle to gorge myself on delicious ice cream. Which happens to be what I ordered from here.
A simple kid’s waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream = absolute creamy heaven on a warm summer’s night. I often rate severity of frozen treat therapy, and this ranks fairly high on my list, just after frozen custard. And trust me, if you’re in the mood for frozen goodness that hits the spot after a long and rough day, and you happen to be within the Salt Lake Valley, give Maggie Moo’s a try.
They’re very packed on summer evenings for a reason, and they happen to be located in the Sugarhouse area which looks like it’s been renovated to have Koi ponds, a little creek, and gorgeous patio space, so there’s plenty of room for you to enjoy your treats if you find you don’t want to stay inside a packed ice cream shop.
For those of you who happen to enjoy adding fixings to your ice cream, Maggie Moo’s does offer that option, but for me, if a place doesn’t have good quality ice cream to begin with, fixins can only do so much.

Your dream turns into nightmares and now you’ve shaked your pants and its a mess. You do a banana split and suddenly its a little more smoothie.
Go there. You’ll be wowed AND this story will make a little more sense. Live long and prosper!
