Moo Shu Ice Cream

Ice cream made from scratch in Ottawa, ON. Local ingredients, creative flavours, and vegan options.
(447)

After three years of developing ice cream in my own kitchen, I'm proud to introduce a unique selection of ice cream flavours not found anywhere else in Ottawa. Moo Shu Ice Cream uses predominantly Asian flavours to craft small-batch ice cream from scratch. We are also serving Cantonese-inspired lunches Wednesdays to Sundays.

Reina Sakao of SAKAO | La voie du thé is back next weekend (Aug 29 & 30) for matcha workshops with us. We're hosting three sessions at our Centretown kitchen location:
Matcha 101: Saturday 1 - 2pm and Sunday 10 - 11am
Matcha x Terroir: Saturday 2:45 - 3:45pm

Topics covered include how matcha is graded, which will explain why we prefer to use the term "ichibana" matcha instead of "ceremonial" for our matcha-based drinks. (Pictured are our vanilla bean matcha latte and our strawberry matcha latte.)

You'll also get hands-on instruction and coaching on how to properly whisk matcha. (Psst, we sell matcha tools, and retail bags of Sakao matcha to make drinks at home).

For the MatchaxTerroir class in particular, you'll get to taste five high grade matchas from 4 different regions of Japan. Just like wine, chocolate, coffee etc... where matcha grows impacts how it taste.

Tickets are available on the workshop page of our website.

Spicy Margarita is scooping now and all of August! We blend limes, chili peppers (including jalapenos), and sea salt to make this refreshing ice cream that's sharp in tartness and heat. We love it paired for contrast with our wafty and cooling Lime Leaf & Fresh Mint ice cream. Local Strawberry is another excellent pairing that brings out the fruitiness of the lime AND the peppers in this ice cream.

While we call it a margarita ice cream, it contains no tequila. Instead, we sweeten the ice cream with brown sugar as a nod to the warm and smooth notes of tequila-based cocktails.

August scoops are here! At the shop we have...

- Shiso Chip, our take on mint chip using fresh shiso leaves from our friends at C.k. Samuels

- Blueberry Amaretto, a long time Moo Shu favourite blend of local blueberries and cherry pit liqueur.

- Vegan Strawberry Shortcake, our vegan local strawberry option, only scooping for half of this month but we have this in pints most of the year.

At Parkdale Market, we have mini cookie dough ice cream sandwiches with sweet cream ice cream in the middle!

We're open this Monday (Aug 3) 1pm - 10pm! It's a little bit of a later start so we can snooze in a bit. Come find us for all your shaobing, drinks, and ice cream needs! August flavours are dropping too ✌️

We're squarely in the latter half of July which means you have a few days left for our July flavours! Rhubarb Cheesecake is a particular favourite, featuring homemade rhubarb jam using rhubarb from our friends at Catena Farm. Making rhubarb a theme, its a perfect pairing with a peach and rhubarb seltzer from le seltzer!

Every year we close on July 1st as a small gesture of solidarity with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities to whom we still owe greater acts of reconciliation.

Join us later this year (likely the last weekend of September, close to the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation) for our annual cat cone fundraiser for local Indigenous organizations in the city!

Hello new summer drinks! Introducing:

(Left) Mango Sunset Matcha: mango soda, matcha, and vanilla sweet cream layered on top.

(Right) Dirty Cherry Cola: cherry cola and espresso, with vanilla sweet cream on top.

Both are refreshingly cold, creamy, fizzy, and caffeinated. You really won't want to miss these!!

June flavours have arrived! The theme is PICNIC!

Raspberry & Basil Jelly Swirl, featuring raspberries from Warners Farm and basil from Ingleside Farm.

Ants on a Picnic Blanket, a whimsical marble of cherry and sweet cream dotted with chocolate sprinkles. Cherries from Warners Farm.

Salted Honey & Crostini, featuring Bread By Us and Gibbs Honey

Vegan Lemonade Iced Tea, essentially a refreshing Arnold Palmer in ice cream form!

06/04/2026

Just a friendly reminder that even when we are knee deep in ice cream season, we still have our savoury cafe menu available until 6pm. Our shaobing wraps and personal pot pies are all made from scratch!

05/25/2026

We rolled into the shop today to find major leaks all over our shop with parts of our ceiling coming down and damage to equipment and supplies. Unfortunately we will have to close our shop today (Monday May 25th). We hope to be open again on Wednesday!! Thank you for your patience!
