I'm dreaming of Cone "Nachoes" and the Ice Cream Sammie but kept it simple with a mini cup of MOOSE TRACKS - a creamy vanilla with bite-sized PB cups and chocolate cookie bits. I don't know if "ice cream solves everything," but it's definitely a bright spot in the day, along with friendly faces.

Having come here for years once a summer we thought this year (2026) the ownership changed hands as…read morethis place was a huge disappointment. Between the 6ish flavors of standard ice cream (chocolate, chocolate chip cherry, cookies and cream, vanilla, strawberry...) we reluctantly placed our order with a young guy who had about zero desire to scoop ice cream. He placed the smallest portion of ice cream we've ever received in our lives on our cones. $30+ later for the equivalent of a pint of ice cream in totality we were on our way. Even our 6 year old was disappointed and when was the last time a 6 year old was disappointed with ice cream. The poor kid behind the counter needed some training for sure but the ice cream itself was still very lackluster. Makes sense why the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was actually busy this season.

They are located right next to the ski resort. Tin Cup is family-owned and got their start as a sandwich shop before the pandemic. They ended up becoming a ice cream and dessert shop afterwards. Tin Cup has a number of unique ice cream flavors. I stopped by here after skiing all day. There was a line, but I made it the ordering counter in about 15 minutes. I ordered the Salted Caramel and Honey Lavender in a cup. I enjoyed my ice cream and headed next door to a coffee shop to grab a cup of coffee. It was the perfect combo after a day on the slopes. The staff here at Tin Cup was great.

This place has a LOT of really unique flavor combinations! I tried the Plum Peppercorn Cheesecake and the Blueberry Bergamot and they were both delicious! Love when ice cream places try and experiment with different stuff! But don't worry, if experimental isn't your jam they have the classics too (or at least flavors that aren't too wild and out there).

Genius, truly. - the crust is great - I'm generally not into thicker crust but they do a great job. Also, post-skiing or mountain biking, I'm not gonna complain about extra bread. - the basement seating and bar is a vibe - pizza by the slice (when available) - the owner (Kyleena) is awesome - their jalapeños and sun dried tomatoes (as toppings) are delicious If you're in CB for more than a day or two, especially if you're with a group, this place is a musts

The butterfly effect pizza was really great and has a beautiful color. Only downside is that the server forgot my drink so I just canceled the order since we were leaving. And she was a bit distracted flirting with her coworker. Also, they just started using red curry for paste which we found interesting. We used it for dipping sauce. We wouldn't recommend as it was pretty bland.

The salsa that comes with the chips is actually pretty good. The staff seem to only be enthusiastic about their jobs when it's aprés time and they can earn quick tips for pouring quick drinks. I've been here across two seasons, numerous nights, numerous bartenders, and they all seem to universally dislike their jobs, or simply doing work. Almost every time I have to ask for a napkin and silverware after the food has come. I usually have to flag someone down for service. I usually have to ask for a glass of water to be refilled. It's just an endless drag trying to dine here. If it weren't the only ski-in/out hotel on the mountain, I'd go elsewhere, but hey, captive audience means you can succeed even when mediocre.

When I ordered, I thought it was just going to be smashed up fruit that somehow was turned into a sorbet, but it is actually soft serve ice cream with smashed up real fruit mixed into it, miraculously delivered in perfect soft serve consistency. Think of it like chunky peanut butter - not the flavor, but conceptually - the texture you know; plus some yummy chunky bits. I ordered the mixed berry and was not disappointed. I've heard the pineapple flavor is amazing as well. There may be a line, but they move quickly and it's worth the wait.

Maybe if you are local and a foreigner they will provide stellar service. This was just horrible. Oh yeah. Make sure you ask for your check. Waited another 20 mins on that. Just walk up to the register and it will make them pay attention if they forgot you. The students behind the bar should help Reba out more if she can't handle a one top.

Fearful of what I might find here, as small, resort locales often possess oligopolistic control…read moreover pricing and quality, I ventured through the door at McGill's, a local staple, and ordered the Great American breakfast. The quality of ingredients and preparation were all spot on. Bacon was triple crispy as I requested. Hash browns were made with butter, as I insisted. Eggs were cooked perfectly, neither rubbery nor slimy. Magnificent was the French toast. Served as something resembling a German log roll, it was crispy on the outside, tasty throughout, and yet remained free from being bread-y. I savored every bite of this, a real highlight. You can substitute this for the muffin for a $2 fee or thereabouts. Do that, and you won't be disappointed. Two areas that could be improved: the pancake syrup, and while it tasted fine, was definitely corn syrup based and low quality. I humbly think that the owner could easily charge $1.75 more and offer the real thing. Further, the orange juice wasn't great, acceptable, but far from a real fresh squeezed caliber. The hostess forced me to sit at the bar when tables were open. Fortunately for me, a spectacularly responsive and friendly other server rescued me, provided me a table and provided the utmost in service for a breakfast styled establishment of this ilk. She was also food knowledgeable as her husband and her own one of the truly great restaurants in town, further down the street on Elk Avenue. Pricing was just right. Location is fantastic as well. I plan to return, but may bring my own syrup and orange juice. Thumbs up for McGill's.
