    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!

    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.

    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!!

    Love this place. Very interesting flavors and it was DELICIOUS. They give you A LOT too. It was pretty much two scoops for the price of one. Love it. The workers were so friendly and helpful. Price was great too. I am a huge fan of this place! Wish they had it in the States!

    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.

    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!

    See all

We had a decently large group, but everything still came out pretty fast after each of us ordered. I got a cold O-Matcha Latte which was smooth and refreshing. Also tried my friends' parfait and soft cream which were creamy and tasty too! No grittiness is any of the drinks or desserts I tried. It's a little on the pricier side but usually getting matcha is a once in a while treat for me anyways. No parking lot so you'll have to find street parking.

Don't go to the back lot where Peter's Drive-In is, as they have security watching for people who leave the lot and aren't getting food there. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Pretty small shop but cozy! They have a small fridge area for their desserts, and a pretty extensive menu of drinks. Staff was friendly and working pretty fast to get out all these matcha drinks! - DRINKS - O-Matcha Maple Syrup & Salt Latte: I figured while in Canada, why not get maple syrup whenever I can?! Although it did seem slightly sweeter, I couldn't exactly tell it was maple syrup. The matcha was nice and smooth though! - OVERALL - Happy that we found this matcha shop that seemed to be the only one within this area!

    Really unique ice cream flavors!…read more I was previously recommended village ice cream as a place to visit while visiting Calgary. They have an always flavors menu and a seasonal menu flavor. I tried their north 49 honeyberry flavor (always flavors) and their matcha lemon cookie flavor (seasonal flavor). I really liked the north 49 honeyberry flavor because of the slight tartness of the ice cream. I also don't like my ice cream too overbearingly sweet so north 49 honeyberry flavor was a good choice for me. The matcha lemon cookie was a solid optional too for a seasonal flavor. I'm a sucker for matcha flavor and the lemon cookie complemented the matcha well. The lemon cookie also added nice contrasts in texture too. The ambiance is nice too, I like the open space and greenery. I feel like the thorough menu description beforehand was a good touch so I felt very confident in what I wanted when ordering since the descriptions for flavors were so detailed. Would recommend trying Village Ice Cream and there are several locations throughout Calgary!

I went in at 7pm, there were still lots of cake selections to choose from. I got a piece of the Napoleon cake. It was not good at all. It didn't taste fresh. The inside was supposed to be flaky and crispy like a waffle. Unfortunately, it didn't taste like that at all.It was mushy and chewy in the center. They added a lot of icing sugar to make it sweet and attempted to make it fancy looking. But that is just add on that I can go to any grocery stores and get and put it on any cake. the top 2 cracker pieces were not crispy at all. It was super chewy like it has absorbed a lot of moister that it is no longer fresh. I am not sure if they made the cake the night before or if it has been sitting for days unsold in the fridge. I have had way better cake before. The piece of cake was not worth $3.99. Note that this place is ran by Chinese and sells Hong Kong style cake. They do not make French pastries or cakes. They are also not a Japanese cake store. I have been to France and Japan and no their cakes don't look even close like their cakes. I will not be back and will not recommend coming here. They do not accept credit cards for purchases under $10. Cash or debit only.

Not sure who's craving dessert at that hour, but clearly there's demand. The interior is cute and nicely decorated, and the menu offers plenty of choices. That said, the options felt pretty standard--mostly crepes or waffles with ice cream and toppings. Nothing really stood out as unique. We ordered the Ferrero crepe with vanilla ice cream. The crepe itself was tasty, but I wish they were a bit more generous with the ice cream and whipped cream since the portions felt small. Overall, it was an okay experience--not bad, but not a must-visit either.

Every time I come, I am consistently seated near the entrance, even though there are many other tables available. I also always order a decaf Americano. On one occasion, despite ordering a decaf Americano, I was served a latte instead and was told that decaf Americano was not available at this café. I have allergies to both milk and caffeine. The drink was only replaced after I clearly explained my allergies to the staff member who was serving me. I was even charged an additional fee for making the drink iced that day. What I found hard to understand was that the same staff member asked me to leave a Google review at the time -- which is why I am writing this review today. This is a menu item I order regularly, which made the situation even more confusing. Overall, the repeated seating choices and lack of attentiveness made me feel uncomfortable and singled out as a customer. I hope the staff can be more considerate and consistent in their service going forward.
