Good ice cream flavors, and they allow you to try them first which is good cause they are all out of the box. Servers were good. 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. read more

When in Calgary, Made by Marcus is the go to place for ice cream. And for good reason because it's delicious, an adorable shop and the staff is great, too! 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! read more

OKAY CALGARY?!?! I SEE YOU!! Okay if you're from LA you know Salt & Straw and this spot TOTS reminds me of Salt & Straw (which is a MASSIVE compliment)! In-store they have flavors that aren't available online but my favorites was the Zucchini Cornbread & Honey Butter (OH MY GOD YUM! the bits of cornbread made it perf) I loved that they had vegan & GF options, like the cinnamon snickerdoodle which tastes similar to a churro very yummy! It was cool to try a regional flavor as a visitor, such as the saskatoon berry something..and the seasonal flavor of the black cherry & anise def tastes like licorice if you're into that! I loved how they had unique ONE OF KIND flavors that's hard to find elsewhere like mac & cheese or chicken something! this ice cream you can tell is higher quality A+ POINTS! ALSO I like how friendly the workers were with everybody and asked everyone if they had any allergies. I WANNA TRY EVERYTHING! I'm so sad I didn't get more photos..btws was the line long? YES but would I wait in it again? ABSOLUTELY! it moved kinda fast anyway.. but yes if anyone is visitng the Calgary/or rocky mountain area please i'm such a fan of this place!!! its such a cool vibe w all the colors too & I'm all for creative flavors! read more

Tasty neighborhood ice cream spot! We tried a scoop of lemon curd blueberry on a waffle cone and took a pint of the watermelon strawberry tamarind sorbet to go. Everything was very tasty! Service was fast and efficient and the store itself was very cute with some outdoor seating available. Looking forward to trying some of their other ice cream flavors in the future! read more

They have some interesting flavours, although I can't speak to how they all taste. Marcona almond chocolate ganache was good! Wouldn't recommend the Toasted hay and Saskatoon berry. Not sure what I was tasting. read more

About time I write a review as I've only been here a 100 times already haha. Every flavour that they come up with is incredible, but what I love most about Made by Marcus is the texture and balanced sweetness of their ice creams. Almost every time we go in, we get the 'flights' as we can never settle on just 1 or 2 flavours, especially since they always have very curious seasonal flavours. My all-time favourite at MbM is the Chinook Bee pollen and Lavender! But I am also in love with their Monogram toffee pretzel and Chinook Apricot Lavender flavours. If you go to their Edmonton location, you must try their Duchess Earl Grey & Raspberry Financier flavour as well!! read more

I heard people talking about how good this place was and I was rolling my eyes assuming it was hyperbole. Let me be clear: IT WAS NOT. This place might have the best ice cream I have had in my life. I don't want to understate this--I have had a substantial amount of ice cream in my life and aside from made to order artisanal ice cream from some super fancy restaurants, this is some of the best ice cream I have ever had. The flavors were incredible, creative, and we got ~8 pints for our group and not only was every flavor excellent, but each bite of the same flavor continued to reveal new different components and facets of the flavor combinations. I couldn't believe it. read more

My first time visiting Made By Marcus was back in 2016, shortly after they opened their first location on 17th ave. Now I frequent the 19th Street location at least once a month. Their employees are so friendly, always smiling and willing to help as you decide on a flavour/multiple flavours. Their ice cream is my favourite in the entire city (and probably just hands down). My go-to's are their cereal milk when its in season (about twice a year), malted chocolate honeycomb, buttermilk strawberry, or anything with the words coffee, Valhrona chocolate, espresso, churro or almond crunch. SO GOOD. Their cakes are also delicious - my faves being cookies and cream or the rocky road! They also have special edition ones sometimes, and if you can catch a cake with their lychee rose, it's amazing. read more

Wow! I love the flavors of the ice cream here- between the strawberry buttermilk, the lemon blueberry, the mint chip and the double cookies and cream, the range of flavors is so satisfying. They have the more familiar, homey flavors (like vanilla and double cookies and cream) while also providing more creative flavors like their apricot almond tart, peach jalapeño and bee pollen honey + lavender! They have a seasonal menu in addition to their regular menu which, I'm sure, keeps the locals coming back for more. I sampled so many flavors and ended up choosing a single split scoop of the double cookies and cream and the bee pollen + lavender! I'll definitely have to come back to Calgart next time to try the soft serve! read more

Always an excellent product with fun flavours. Line up tends to be long. Slow service, but prices are reasonable and it tastes amazing so it's worth the wait. read more

Always a winner. Check out the freezer for more than just a scoop. Their bars are so tasty.

Excellent, my friends and I ordered garden mint & avocado, valrhona chocolate, Tahitian vanilla bean and sea salt and goat milk caramel all on waffle cones. Needless to say we enjoyed our treats and they were delicious. No one had a bad thing to say about their choices. Highly recommend you try them out. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is my first time visiting this location. It is less busy than their main one, but larger, with more seating space. Very clean. Friendly staff! read more

Clean, modern, and bright store design, which creates inviting atmosphere. Courteous staff. Flexible and helpful. Organized. They offer both traditional and unique flavor combinations; and change flavors from time to time. They offer small tasting samples. Portion was great with reasonable price. The ice cream quality is great. You can get one scoop with two different flavors. They also have ice cream bars and popular flavors in pint for sale. They have two stores in Calgary. If you are in the area, definitely give it a try. read more

GREAT neighborhood find in Calgary! They have very unique flavors, but all of them are based on a flavor profile that's familiar. For instance, instead of "strawberry" they have "roasted strawberry buttermilk". The high quality ingredients and attention to detail makes the ice cream superb. We had a big group so we ended up sharing spoonfuls of almost every flavor they offered, and not a single one was bad. We have a lactose-intolerant friend, and she appreciated the vegan options. I also LOVE their zero waste initiative. Overall great find! read more

Been going to this icecream shop since they opened their 17th ave location and sold their pints in cute glass jars that you could bring back. I love their seasonal flavors especially the watermelon soft serve in the summer! It's my favourite next to cereal milk. Their current cereal milk flavour with lucky charms marshmallows pays tribute to their friend Ben, which is the sweetest thing! I love that they have initiatives that support locals and local businesses too! read more

I really like this place! It's a cute corner shop with a very quaint exterior. I will admit that the flavour there are....interesting, to say the least, but I thoroughly enjoined the flavour I got, Double Cookies an' Cream. The people there are super friendly and have bubbly personalities. I do recommend trying their ice cream at least once. Loved this place! read more

The flavours here are absolutely amazing! The seasonal flavours are always cool, fresh, and out of the box. Their tried and true classics are always delicious if you feel like something more comforting. The staff at the Hillhurst location especially are so friendly and knowledgeable! read more

Excellent, artisan-made ice cream in a smoothly run shop. The space is clean and nice. The staff are friendly and generous with recommendations and tastes, but they keep things moving. We liked the strawberry buttermilk, the lemon blueberry, and the mint chip. Very generous portions and a reasonable price for the quality. read more

First time visit and I'll be back! Great flavour options and the staff readily offered samples. We tried the Lemon Curd Blueberry and Monogram Espresso Churro Crumb - yum! So much flavour! read more
