I got the Dalgona shaved ice which was topped with a scoop of ice cream and a honeycomb sugar cookie. The cookie itself is a little overpowering by itself, but if you break chunks of it off to eat with the shaved ice it's absolutely perfect. The shaved ice was really smooth. It was the perfect size and pretty light, so I still had plenty of room for dinner later. There's additional seating on the second story, and very cute and aesthetic. My mom tried the seasonal corn latte and she really enjoyed it. Might sound a bit strange, but the corn flavor is pretty subtle but the latte was very creamy. Really glad we stumbled upon this cute dessert shop! The staff were really friendly and provided some recommendations.

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.

The chocolate gelato was especially fantastic in that it had a dark chocolate taste without being overly sweet, it was a perfect balance. When visiting a city, we will almost never go to the same place more than once, but we did come to Noto Gelato again because the ice cream was so good! I even liked the way they had all their ice cream canisters covered with a steel lid, and the place was extremely clean. Definitely worth a visit.

FOOD - I got the pistachio ice cream with a waffle cone and it was so freaking good! It was soo creamy. The waffle cone wasn't too sweet and the combination of both is just amazing. My friend also got the mango ice cream which was really good as well. Not too tarte-y and tasted super refreshing. SERVICE - we were there early so it wasn't too busy thankfully! Service was quick and friendly. AMBIANCE - cute little ice cream shop with some unique flavors. They also give out stamp cards which is great. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND I HOPE TO GO AGAIN!

As I asked for samples, she made sure that I wasn't allergic to anything before serving the ice cream. I got a split scoop of two separate flavors, and it was a huge portion, probably equivalent to two scoops at other ice cream shops. I really liked the combination of PB banana fried crepes and lemon curd blueberry. The ice cream was creamy without being overwhelmingly sweet.

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.
