Have been stopping here for ice cream for years and they exceed expectations every time! The ice cream is always so creamy, thick, and fresh. I especially enjoy the cookie dough, blackberry, and raspberry sorbet, though all the flavors are delicious. The single scoop is pretty sizable. Only outdoor seating and drive through. Bathrooms available. They now sell coffee, which is also tasty!

THE BIG: Located right off of highway 15, you can't miss this ice cream shoppe! There's always a line out in front and only outdoor seating. Drive thru and walk up available. Parking lot available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I would always drive by here on the way to Charlottesville and back to DC. The line says it all because the ice cream here is delicious! Tons of flavors to choose from. The wife and I always get the mint chip and it is delicious! Instead of thick chips, they are thin chips which adds that nice mouth texture instead of the traditional ice cream mint chocolate chips. Beyond that, the pistachio is also a good choice. It's not colored unnatural green but it does pack a pistachio flavor that will have you coming back for seconds. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Our last purchase was a medium cup with two flavors and it was around $7. Great place to stop to grab a sweet treat before heading to your final destination.

After several years, finally writing my review for Moo Thru! From cville to DC and back, Moo Thru is a MUST STOP for ice cream. Their ice cream is creamy, flavorful and absolutely addicting. They have several flavors all the time and rotating seasonal ones. My go to is Mint Chip, but you can't go wrong with cookie dough or pistachio. The line is always long when I go, but it moves quickly. Worth the wait and an opportunity to stretch your legs! There's also plenty of seating around the barn. Highly recommend :)

This place had quite the line for the walk up but it moved at a steady pace. I got the small hot fudge sundae with peanuts and I chose hand scooped vanilla. It has got to be the best ice cream I have had in a while. It was so smooth. The small was not small. It had two scoops of ice cream. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a sundae as much as I enjoyed this one. Will definitely be coming back when I am in the area.

So fresh I swear the cows in the back are turning the ice cream maker with the swish of their tails ! My boyfriend gets excited just knowing he gets to stop for an ice cream & my son keeps hoping he can meet one of the " farmers daughters" ! lol We look forward to sitting at the picnic tables and talking with other travelers. There is usually a long line but it's just super fun, anticipating which flavors you might want to try. Warning though, no indoor seating so you will get cold unless you're there in August, September maybe.

5 stars for an amazing ice cream shop! I always always always (except one time that my wife can tell you about) stop at Moo Thru whenever I am driving between DC and Charlottesville. Located at an intersection on Route 29 that can be easy to miss, this cute little shop has everything that an ice cream lover can want. Cute cow pictures. A good size menu. And amazing ice cream. The ice cream is usually the perfect texture (which does mean it can melt quick) and tastes like perfection. Overall, if you are on the road between DC and UVA, make sure you stop and check out this Virginia institution. You'll be glad you did.

New favorite ice cream in the DMV. Growing up in the Midwest, I'm pretty spooked by ice cream places and have struggled to find one in NoVA. We've passed this place a few times on the way to see friends and decided to drive thru. Ice cream at 11am was worth it for how good this place is. We tried the blackberry and cake batter and plan to go back. The ice cream is smooth and thick, you can tell made with high quality ingredients. It's almost chewy how thick the consistency is. Can't wait to go back, possibly on the drive back home.

This place is definitely worth going to if you are in the fence! As a true ice cream girlie, I'm always looking for places to try that have good quality and flavor. A friend recommended the Moo Thru, it was a little out of the way but it looked promising. The drive was beautiful and we ended up here in no time, as it's on the side of the main road. I came here twice, the kids and adults both loved it. The mint and chip and cookie dough were my personal favorites. Peach was my least favorite. We tried a milkshake in coffee flavor it was great too! The price point is good for the ingredients and portions. There is often a line but it moves quickly and the team is friendly. There is seating off to the side and a drive through if you don't want to get out of the car. Can't wait to come back next time I am in the area!

Decided to stop by on a trip back to the NOVA area and boy am I glad I did! Located on the main highway road -- this was packed with both people waiting in line to order and drive through! There's a parking available and some tables to eat at as well. Menu: serves both soft serve and scooped ice cream. They have a pretty larger variety of scooped ice cream to select from with a lot of the star flavors! They also have a season rotation flavors as well. If you're looking for food -- well they have it here as well in addition to coffee! I ordered the Cotten candy and butter pecan small cone. The flavors are on point and really have a really creamy consistency. For ice cream this is one of the top quality ice cream shops I've been too!! I wish I lived closer to be able to come by all the time. I thought for the pricing it was not bad at all. A small scooped cone is around $3 something and they don't skim out on the scoop either. Will definitely stop again next time I'm nearby!
