And yes there's frozen yogurt (which I can handle a bit better) and milk free desserts like sorbet, but sometimes a girl just wants a bit of ice cream dagnabbit! Enter the recently opened (as of April 1 - no foolin), Happy Chappy Ice Cream Shop. This is an ice cream parlour that serves 30 different flavours of Chapman's hard ice cream. If I'm gonna risk a little pain later for a tasty treat now then Chapman's is a good way to go. The ice cream shop is a little difficult to find, but not impossible. From 50th Street you turn into the parking for Hugh's Car Wash, but in the lot take an immediate left and go around the side of the north building. Happy Chappy is near the back facing the Panda Hut Express across the way. Yes, it's a bit of an odd location for an ice cream parlour, but it's ice cream and I'm not complaining. Personally, I'm just glad it's somewhere other than in Leduc Common. The Ice Cream shop is pretty small. It's a basic walk-in and order and go kind of deal. There is a bench on the back wall, but there isn't any room for any tables or chairs. They advertise 30 different flavours, most hard ice cream, but I also saw a few frozen yogurt and sorbet flavours. They've got some standards (chocolate, vanilla), but also there are more fun flavors too. I tried the Raspberry Rocky Road, which is a vanilla and raspberry ice cream with chocolate chunks. Yum. The lady working (likely the owner) was very friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. Despite the hidden location, I hope this ice cream shop does well. Leduc doesn't always have a place to get hard ice cream, and this fits the bill perfectly. As I was going in I saw a family with five kids leave, so I'm sure it will get busier as the weather (hopefully) gets nicer. They're open from 2pm to 9pm every day so you can hit your ice cream craving in the afternoon and in the evening as well. It might be a good bad life decision, but I'll come back here again.

They don't carry a lot of the President's Choice Brand items (although they do have the PC Decadent Cookies which are amazing), but they have a lot of No Name, and No Frills brand. Sometimes stock can get pretty picked over, especially if there's a sale or during the after office hours (3pm to 6pm-ish), but if get here during the week on a morning the stock is usually pretty decent. Sometimes the produce can be a little ifffy, but maybe it's just that time of year right now where produce is kinda crappy no matter where you go. Today I went to No Frills for their dollar days sale and I picked two boxes of Chapman's ice cream sandwiches (4 per box) for $1 each, and two 500ml containers of Chapman's ice cream for $1 each. Did I need the ice cream or ice cream sandwiches? Yes. Yes I did. You can't go wrong with ice cream at that price. Most of Leduc's grocery stores are on 50th Street north of 50 Avenue (Sobey's, Safeway), or are west in the very busy Leduc Common shopping area (Walmart, Bulk Barn), so it's nice to go to Extra Foods where the traffic is a little less busy. While it's not inside the store there is a small Liquor Store right next to the No Frill's.

Fifteen minutes (or so) south of the city makes Leduc feel more like a suburb and very much a part of the greater Edmonton area. It didn't take me much convincing to jump in the car when I heard that a little cafe was home to the Best Dessert 2024 as named by EDify Magazine. What delicious secrets were being kept in Leduc and how could I taste them?? Step one is to drive yourself to Leduc, which I did on a Saturday morning. While nearby, I haven't spent a whole lot of time in Leduc and found myself pleasantly surprised when the navigation took me to a quaint and cute small-town-style main street area. I really don't think that I'd ever been there before. Sweet little independent shops lined both sides of the street, lending to an idyllic pedestrian experience. Shopping areas like these always feel good to stroll through. Leduc Coffee Shop is located within two other stores; Magpies Collection and Playing For Keeps Toys. So don't get confused when you enter into a retail space; home decor and gifts on the left and children's toys on the right. Head to the back of the store and keep going until you find yourself surrounded by bistro tables and can smell the coffee. The space is cozy and cafe-like with chocolate-coloured walls and pieces of local art as decoration. I noted that each table was adorned with a vase of fresh flowers - a lovely touch. I also noticed a very adorable China cabinet filled with antique cups and saucers. The idea is that you can choose your own teacup to use, select your tea of choice, and then sit down to enjoy! What a beautiful idea that only adds to the experience! I was surprised by how large the menu is - the whole thing is posted right on the wall and it's huge both in physical size and in terms of content. In the end, the offerings include; drinks, eats, and sweets n treats. If you're looking for visual guidance most of the food items are on display in the glass case, which is helpful. I knew that I wanted to order a coffee-based beverage - it is a coffee shop after all - and I was delighted to find a special "Winter Drinks" menu. I am someone who loves a seasonal beverage, to the point of ordering off of these types of menus almost exclusively. I just like trying new things and enjoying flavours that compliment the season. This menu included six different choices, each sounding perfectly appropriate for the winter. The Gingerbread Spiced Mocha (Espresso, white chocolate, topped with whip cream & cinnamon) stood out to me, which I ordered in the small size. The girl at the counter was pleasant and got to work on preparing our drinks and eats. The drink looked like everything that I wanted it to be (AKA more like dessert than coffee) but unfortunately the flavour didn't really hit the mark for me. It mostly just tasted like a mediocre, watered down cup of coffee and didn't deliver on all of the gingerbread and spice and mocha that was promised. It just seemed like this coffee was supposed to have a lot of exciting stuff going on and I felt disappointed as I sipped it. The food menu includes a whole array of sandwiches that look really appetizing - many on croissants or bagels. And each sandwich is served with a side of corn chips which is something that I can totally get behind! I would recommend taking a look in the case and choosing whatever appears the most delicious on that particular day. However, I was visiting for one item and one item only: the Orange Bun ($3.50). This is the current best dessert in the Edmonton area and I couldn't wait to try it. These golden twirly rounds are baked in-house from scratch using real butter. The orange buns are served warm and seem to be a member of the cinnamon roll family. I know that this isn't a popular opinion but I'm not much of a cinnamon roll fan (unless we're talking about the ones at Sugarbowl, in which case I love them). This, however, is not a cinnamon roll. The homemade dough is hand-stretched every morning and the freshness is evident in every bite. There's a gooey mix of orange zest and coconut within every warm layer, bringing a sweet and unique flavour all its own. I loved this comforting bun, like something that a grandma would make. The flavour of the dough itself was almost the best part because it wasn't too sweet and it held the orange and coconut together so well. An absolute delight! I totally understand why this orange bun is on the foodie radar. It's wonderful that a little cafe like this, off the beaten path, is getting some notice. The food is the highlight at Leduc Coffee Shop but it would be nice if the coffee beverages were up to the same level. Delivering every bit the cozy cafe experience, this is the type of space that you'll be happy to spend some time in.

They were good, but not special. We noticed a steady stream of people coming in and ordering and looking for a table so this could be the most popular coffee house in Leduc. Coffee is self serve and includes refills. The cafe is located in the back of another business which I think is a gift shop. There's usually lots of steet parking available and, of course, being Leduc the parking is free.
