I've only been to a couple of places for ice cream (Marble Slab, Baskin Robins etc) so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the best places for ice cream here.

There are no more Baskin Robbins in the city. Moos in Eau Claire is pretty good...

If you want to go a bit out of the city, Mackay's in Cochrane is awesome.

I love licks. I never got a chance to try "my favourite ice cream shop" before they closed. Went there 2 weeks ago and its some restaurant.

Buy my personal favorite is DQ ice cream cakes, or licks blueberry.

Maybe you went to the wrong place. I was there 2 or 3 days ago and it's still very much open.

I'm not a big ice cream guy but even I love that place. It gets busy as hell though & isn't cheap but good food never is.

If thats the one kinda on the street near the train (almost like a main street) tracks next to the restruant (sorry for being so specific ;) ) they are the bomb

MacKay's in Cochrane is worth the drive :drool:

But in CGY, gonna have to give it up to Phillip's, and sometimes the Baskin Robbins across from it is good as well :thumbsup:

its on Main Street. Not many streets you can go down so it shouldn't be hard to find.

There's also a Phillips On Northmount. It's awesome. A couple weeks ago they had pre-packaged litres of ice cream on sale for 2 for $10. We ended up getting 4 :D The Jack Fruit is very good. So is the khalua fudge. We also got black licorice and bordeaux cherry. They were good but the black licorice was loaded down with dye and did funny things to your bowels.

There's also a licks on 16th AVe in bowness (or maybe it's the one on memorial?) i just know it's around Bowness area. Its right beside "A Driving School."

If you want Mackay's and don't want to dirve to Cochrane then go to BON TON MEAT MARKET across from foothills hospital on 16th ave NW.

They have 1/2 litre buckets of Mackay's ice cream, with most of the popular flavors.

AS an ice cream lover, and being that i have visited 90% of the Ice Cream Shops in Calgary, i would definitly say that Phillips on 17th is the best, and has very good prices for what you get as well!

My favourite Ice Cream Shoppe is great.

We bought our own ice cream maker Cuisinart at Costco for about $60.00 it's totally worth every penny. Its the smoothest ice cream you can buy. I make mine from a custard base. It's fabulous. Lately we had fresh berries from the garden to toss in as well.
