MOJO NO LONGER AN ICE CREAM PLACE

There’s big news on Third Street. The Mojo Cafe re-opened after a week of renovations and they no longer sell ICE CREAM.

There goes the neighborhood.

OTBKB asked one of the guys behind the counter and he said, "No more ice cream. I’m not sure what the owner has in mind." They do still have ice cream cakes.

Where are all those kids, parents, and caregivers going to do? There’s always Maggie Moo’s, I guess.

In the past week, the new owner of the Mojo has been busy renovating. Not a fancy renovation – just your basic clean up, paint job, some minor construction. They painted the space brown; got rid of a lot of the tables — I assume they’re getting more, and added a couch. That’s right. A couch.

The place is obviously not finished but it is open. They added a tall refrigeration case that has some cheesecake, some wrap sandwiches and some salads. Not the most appetizing selection.

And no Krispy Kremes. That did it. OSFO said, "This place used to be my favorite place. Now I hate it."

While I was in there this afternoon, a mom came in and saw that they had NO ICE CREAM in there: "Let’s go kids. We’re going to have to find a new place to get some ice cream," she said.  Then she turned to me and said, "Does this guy know how much business he’s going to be losing?"

I’m sure he does. It’s possible that he did the numbers and decided that the ice cream business wasn’t worth the hassle, the kids, the afterschool mayhem. Maybe he thinks the REAL MONEY is in coffee, cheesecake and wrap sandwiches.

Take this all with a grain of salt, make that ice cream, readers. I could be jumping to conclusions. But I will tell you this: there is no ice cream freezer for hard ice cream in there.

  3. NO MOJOS IS NOT LONGER AN ICE CREAM PLACE BUT IF THE DAILY CHEESE CAKE EVEN COMES CLOSE TO THE HEAVENLY CHEESE CAKE THEY DELIVERED TO ME FOR CHRISTMAS COMPLIMENTS OF MY SISTER, ID BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SIT THERE AND “BREAK CHEESECAKE” ALL DAY LONG!
    IT WAS A OLD STYLE NY CHEESE CAKE TOPPED WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE COVERED IN A CHOCOLATE SHELL AND SPRINKLED WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS!
    CHOCOLATE HEAVEN IN A BOX I TELL YAH!
    DONT BELIEVE ME? STOP BY AND TRY IT SOMETIME,I DIDNT NOTICE THAT YOU HAD BOTHERED TO TRY THE CHEESECAKE SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT SUGGESTION.
    IF NOT ORDER ONE FROM http://WWW.AINSELYCHEESECAKE.COM!
    AND HEY IF THE ICE CREAM SHOP WAS DOING SO MUCH BUSINESS WHY’D THE GUY SELL THE SHOP FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE?

  4. oh parents and kids, forgot to mention Mojo will be serving ice cream, chocolate and vanilla soft serve only. I know its a far cry form the 16 hard flavors in addition to the soft serve , but we arent mean monsters and we dont hate kids, we just had to compromise. We are looking to pay the $96 a square foot and rising rent. So if you love our soft serve ice cream, or if you feel like Maggie Moos and Haagen Daz are just too much then come on down and get a cup or cone after school.
