This place had some super unique flavours like Ube, Mango Sticky Rice and Coco Pandan. With an unlimited amount of toppings and sauces to choose from! I got try the Vietnamese Coffee and Halo Halo and it was delicious. You can just tell that this is premium icecream. Its so creamy and with the perfect amount of sweetness. If you ever get a chance to go here while you are in Calgary you should definitely check it out! 9/10 recommend!

Abysmal customer service. I placed an order on DoorDash for an ice cream cake for my dad's birthday…read moreand three tubs of ice cream to accommodate a gluten free family member. That's an $88 order before any delivery or service fees are added. Abbey's Creations failed to provide me with any of the items that I ordered. First of all : The cake that I ordered was not in stock. Store policy is apparently not to remove an out of stock item from the menu but to call me after the order has been submitted and accepted (therefore Doordash does not give me my money back if I cancel) and tell me that my only option is to accept a different cake. I would not have submitted the order if I knew the original cake wasn't available. Secondly: they failed to include the three tubs of ice cream that I ordered and paid for in the delivery. So now I have zero tubs of ice cream and a cake that I did not want to begin with. Their only option for recompense is store credit at a place that I never want to have anything to do with again. Plus the credit is only for the ice cream that they failed to deliver and not for the cake in a flavour that they forced me into buying.

The inside is tiny and a little cramped, but it's clear it's more of a sit outside place. Only thing I think should change: the earl grey flavor was (in my subjective opinion) ruined by the cassis addition. I think if they did an earl grey lavender or earl grey cream it would be more attractive for other tea lovers. On the flip side- can't go wrong with the chocolate lava cake! Lemon curd blueberry is good but the lemon comes out very strong, so keep that in mind if you don't like lemony flavors.

My friends and I popped in for some treats over the weekend, everyone leaving happy & satisfied. Portions are huge and prices are great! I went with the flight for $10 so I could maximize my flavor trying consumption. Best of the best flavors I had: Apple Cheddar Pie. I ordered this as a niche and quirky flavor to try just to say I tried it. Never did I ever think I would not only love it, but swear it's better than the chocolate flavors I tried. My mouth is watering writing this review as I sit here craving it. Nomz. MUST GET. Rating all the other flavors I had in order~~~ 2. Chocolate Lava Cake - huge chunks of cake, chocolaticious. 3. Malted Chocolate Honeycomb 4. Passionfruit Basil - refreshing, palate cleanser. 5. Very chocolate and zucchini bread pudding. The onlyyyyy thing I would improve on at this Made by Marcus location is to have a bit more outdoor seating. They have some benches but they get sooooo darn busy because they are sooooo darn good, that people are always standing around. More seating and Made by Marcus would be perfection!

We finally made it out to try XO Ice Cream and Waffles. It's tough to try new ice cream spots out…read morewhen the big 3 dominate in Cowtown. However, we were in the area so my sister suggested making a pitstop for dessert. We dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It's a tiny shop; currently only allowing one person/family in at a time. There was about 20 flavors to choose from (seasonal and summer specials). Sad that you currently can't sample any flavours. Lime cilantro sorbet (that wasn't listed) peaked my interest. - Double scoop ($8.00) - we added a waffle one ($1.00) and decided on the sour cherry and guava papaya sorbet as our two flavours. They were very generous scoops. The sour cherry was the winner with real pieces of cherry (a slightly sour bite). Stronger in papaya than guava flavour. I think their sorbet texture could use a bit of work but overall, we were happy campers. - Single scoop ($6.00) - my sister went with the same flavours as we weren't sharing. Always nice when you have the options to choose two flavours in a single scoop. Credit cards only. Massive scoops. 3.5 stars.

I haven't had this yet either and probably will not only because I want to try the homemade ice cream and waffles separately!

For the past couple of months, I'd pass by the ice cream and dairy section of every grocery store…read morethat I visit. For some reason, the pandemic has made me crazy for ice cream, Mr Freeze, sorbet ,... pretty much any frozen treat that has sugar in. I love the minimalistic packaging from Righteous. When I first saw the dairy-free raspberry lime sorbetto at Longo's, I pounced on it like a cat that hasn't seen the light of day. I wanted it badly and didn't need to think twice about it. The raspberry lime sorbetto is heavenly! It's tangy, not too sweet, and satisfies my sweet tooth. So good! It's bright and makes my tastebuds dance. Last weekend, I was at Sobeys and Righteous varieties were on sale. The amount of time that I spent looking at all the flavours probably would have melted the popsicles had I opened the freezer door. I settled for the dairy-free mango pineapple sorbetto. It felt like early summer with each spoonful. The flavours were so fresh and bright. I have repurposed the first empty container. It stores tea nicely. I also like that it's a clear container. I can simply look at it and know what's inside without unscrewing it. I recently found out that you can do pickup orders at its store in Calgary. I wish that I lived closer. I love the dairy-free line. Righteous has just introduced its plant-based line of ice cream. Although I want to visit this location when I am in Calgary, I am so grateful that I can get my fix by dropping by my local grocery store these days. So delicious! (166)

Definitely one of the better gelato that I ever had. I loved it. The fruit passion lemonade was not bad either. They are only located in Calgary.

If I go to Calgary, I will definitely go for their Gelato again.

Arriving close to 8pm on a Thursday, Parlour was quite busy with practically all the cushions taken, parking was also not the most ideal.

The flavors throughout all 3 scoops were yummy, and the consistency of ice cream was also standardly delicious. Overall decent dessert run, I will mention that my favorite spot is still Village and Made by Marcus though. The waffle cone here was just not as dreamy both taste and smell wise.
