Best places in and around Calgary for ice cream.

[ekguy]

So I only really have 3 spots I like to go too and me and the gf would like a few new ones. And since the season is fast approaching for sunday ice cream drives why not start a list.

I'll add them to this first post if people want.

Here's what I got so far. edited with updates.

My Favorite Ice Cream Shoppe (Marda Loop)
McKays (Cochrane)
Bragg Creek (the ice cream and candy shoppe)
Amato Gelato
LICS (Near children's hospital)
Marble Slab (any of them in the city)

Anyone remember the Scooples on Center St, by the Bhuddist (?) temple? I think it's a CIBC now, but damn I loved that place...

Cochrane (we all know the place)

You mean the one that serves mediocre ice cream, but somehow managed to market themselves as "a place to go", and you get the fun of standing in line for 1/2 an hour in the sweltering heat, so you don't care that you're overpaying when you finally get inside?

I go to the US for icecream... they don't serve my fav. brand in Canada.

It use to be good IMO. Use to go there almost every week. Marble Slab is pretty good, nothing super special.

They got these nicely done up cafe/restaurant that just serves icecream/cheese cake/dessert... it's like $9-12 ice cream but we're talking about 1 -1.5L of ice cream or banana split in one serving. This is San Francisco.
