I stopped in to buy my favourite macaroons from where else, Duchess, when low and behold there is a…read morestore next door. Oh goodness, it is a whole store by Duchess filled with the most amazing, well like the name says: Provisions! There are cookie, cake and pie making equipment. A How-To kit for duplicating their famous macaroons. All the gadgets one would need to bake a masterpiece are in this delicious little side venture. They even have a wall stocked with jams, honeys, caramels, chocolates, nuts, salts, sugars and other high end, super must have ingredients to wow your taste buds (and show off to your dinner guests!) I bought a delightful crystallized honey as well as a jar of salted caramel that is so amazing it could be drizzled on a dust bunny and make it taste divine! I also added to my insane cookie-cutter collection, which I hide from my other half so he doesn't think I'm Kitchen Cuckoo! Oh, wait... I think he's on to me ;) This is definitely a must visit store if you are a culinary wizard, or just like to wing-it! It is a go-to destination to pick up that perfect hostess gift or for your super foodie friend. And even a $4 jar of something, in its beautiful package, will make anyone feel like a Duke or a Duchess!

I love Edmonton born stores especially when they offer excellent customer service and carry quality…read moreproducts. As I entered this store, at their new location, the first thing that caught my eye were their displays. They are like little pieces of art telling stories about the items they carry. They have a kids section inspiring fun ideas on how to engage kids in the kitchen. There is a wide selection of flours, sugars and other baking gems (some organic and some not). They carry cookware, bakeware, bread making products, books, teas, chocolates, extracts and compounds, preserves, canning supplies, mixers, cake stands, serveware, kitchen linens, aprons and so much more. With Christmas approaching this is an excellent place to find gifts. And if you're hungry, Café Linnea is definitely worth a try next door.

Their whole menu does look amazing and while my tastebuds say yes to ice cream my stomach says no. At most ice cream shops I'll be lucky to find a sorbet to enjoy. Made By Marcus has three regular non-dairy options Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Snickerdoodle, and Prairie Fairie Sorbet. I'll be honest I haven't tried the sorbet, but the other two flavours are delicious. They also have four rotating seasonal flavours that change each month, and one of those will be vegan and so good for me. This month November 2025 the vegan flavour is Poached Pear and Brown Sugar Streusal. It is heavenly and I went to Made By Marcus two days in a row for this. You can get most of their flavours in to-go pints and I'm pretty tempted to pick this up. Downside to Made By Marcus is the line outside will be crazy in the summer. But no problem getting in at 6pm on a random Wednesday in November for some reason. They also are not across from my house and I really think my neighbors across the way should move out so Made By Marcus can move in. In my dreams I can try their Earl Grey Cassis Royale or the Sea Salt & Goat Milk Caramel ice creams and not be hurt. So give those a go cause they sound amazing.

The chocolate was very flavourful and delicious. The blueberry was excellent too. My partner had blueberry and tropical twist. She wasn't too impressed with the tropical twist but sure liked the blueberry and her one taste of my chocolate. There's lots of seating outside and across the street in the park. This is an excellent place to take your kids or a date. I recommend it.

I can't believe that it has taken me this long but I finally made it! Yelo'd is Whyte Ave's famed…read moreFilipino and Asian inspired ice cream shop and I have heard nothing but rave reviews about them since they opened in 2018. Named Favourite Dessert on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 list, "yelo" means ice in Tagalog... And this shop is going to change your whole ice cream world. Located in Old Strathcona, Yelo'd used to be located down the street (on the other side of the tracks) in a much smaller space. They have since moved right into the action and are now in a gorgeous historic building, adding so much to the vibrancy of the avenue. I've watched this building (originally the Dominion Hotel built in 1903) struggle over the years to find the right combination of business tenants and I think that they've finally done it! The interior of the shop is large and spacious but the most striking feature is the elaborately decorated Victorian wooden porch at the entrance. You can just picture yourself sitting out there on a hot summer day with a delicious ice cream in hand, taking in the sights of Whyte Ave. The vibe inside is a bit more modern with gleaming pastry and ice cream cases, mural-covered walls, and neon lighting. The colour scheme leans purple which makes complete sense once you realize that ube (purple yam) is the signature flavour at Yelo'd. The shop feels bright and fresh, exuding an upbeat atmosphere while still maintaining a specific identity. I visited on a Sunday afternoon with the intention to taste and experience as much of Yelo'd as I possibly could! There was only one employee serving us and she was incredibly gracious as we proceeded to bombard her with our large and varied order. I certainly appreciated her efficiency and kindness. Before we even begin the topic of ice cream, it bears mentioning that Yelo'd offers a whole cafe menu of various coffees. This also includes tropical sodas and milkshakes. You could honestly visit just for the cafe aspect and to sit with a delicious beverage (and yes, I will be doing this). Most drinks can be made hot or iced which is handy depending on the season outside. I was drawn to their Iced Ube Latte ($5.50) which seemed like a great way to carry the purple theme into my coffee. Swirls of purple ube syrup mingled with the coffee and milk. It wasn't long before the entire beverage wore a violet hue. I liked this coffee a lot. It was sweet in just the way that I like it and I believe that it may have been made with evaporated milk which would also account for some of the sweetness. The ube flavour (and colour) made this beverage interesting and unique. I could see myself ordering one of these regularly, both hot and cold. Yelo'd also makes this same latte with pandan or yema, which I'm sure are equally delicious. I also noticed that there are seasonal drinks to choose from and that there's a secret staff drink menu??! Clearly, I have a lot more to discover in terms of sips at Yelo'd! There are so many exciting ice cream options at Yelo'd!! Not only do they offer a wide range of hard ice cream but their soft serve has become pretty famous in its own right. However, there's even more beyond that because they make sundaes and ice cream sandwiches as well. No matter what you're craving, they've certainly got you covered. One of the main things that I wanted to try was their straight-up Ube Soft Serve on a charcoal Waffle Cone ($6.50). Yelo'd usually has two soft serve flavours on the go at all times which rotate, but they always keep ube on hand. You can get one solid flavour or a swirl of two. On my visit the second flavour was macapuno (coconut). I decided to forgo the swirl because I really just wanted to try their ube soft serve all on its own (and in all of its glory). This perfectly simple cone was magic. The quality of the soft serve was top-notch and ultra creamy without an ice crystal in sight. The flavour of the ube was nutty and somewhat similar to vanilla, captured wonderfully on this cone. Of course the violaceous colour is part of what makes it so much fun! I loved the crunchy and sweet waffle cone, the charcoal black acting in striking colour contrast. This soft serve is some of the best in the whole city, if not just the overall best. (I sometimes go around saying that hard ice cream is "over" and this soft serve only convinced me further.) Next, I had to try the most popular item on the menu and the dessert synonymous with the Philippines; Halo Halo (Philippine shaved ice with jellies, jackfruit, coconut strings, red beans + your choice of soft ice cream or scoop - $12.00). I find it incredibly exciting that halo halo has arrived in Edmonton and that there are a few places to try it these days. "Halo halo" means mix-mix in Tagalog, which is exactly what the dessert entails - a mix of ingredients that you get to mix together! It's like a big Filipino sundae filled with an array of flavours and textures. Halo halo can be prepared in a bunch

There's another new icecream place in Edmonton and it's awesome how it's from the same owners of…read moreYelo'd which is already known for its soft serve. I love how the flavors offered are unique and it stuck to the theme of Filipino icecream. I tried the Matcha Berry and the Keso+Ube cake. The keso+ube cake was so yummy and it was the perfect sweetness. I especially liked the ube cake as it added a delightful texture to the icecream. I wasn't that big of a fan of the Matcha Berry since it was more sour tasting and the matcha wasn't that strong. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try more flavours though. The truck doesn't have a fixed location so remember to check their Instagram page before going.

Always a great choice for ice cream! Woman run business too…read more Haskup flavor was what I was hoping would return this Aug (a huge hit with me and my friends last summer) and the universe delivered! Lots of regular classics and a good choice of monthly new flavors too. This local shop is tucked in by the bookstore & liquor store stripmall and across from the restaurants, butcher and coffee on the 4 corners (as the locals call it in Ritchie). As it is a small shop (aka small bench inside), I usually grab a pint or if the weather is nice, a cup or cone to enjoy outside. There's some benches just at the corner and some sitting options if you cross the ave. Parks nearby, including a dog park and Millcreek Ravine. Both not far. Just depends on how active you want to be when you enjoy your ice cream. Price point is average for what is being charged in Edmonton. So this is still in a treat category.

My first (and so far only visit) to Kind Ice Cream was back in the summer. I was at the French…read moreQuarter and decided to just "walk to Kind Ice Cream" in the middle of summer in +30C weather, without water because it's "so close." I don't live in this area, so the walk was further than I had anticipated. So I got to Kind Ice Cream already feeling the effects of some heat stroke. And while ice cream isn't probably the best solution (drinking water would be better) it's not the worst, right? Ice cream is a good idea, or the dairy-free alternative is since I'm lactose-intolerant. Kind Ice Cream has three choices for me from their regular menu, and they usually have a dairy-free alternative in their rotating menu. I went for one of their standards Lemon and Jammy Raspberry. I'm a fan of anything Raspberry flavour and this was delicious. My first visit at Kind Ice Cream but not my last. 0 out of 5 for heat stroke. 5 out of 5 for the ice cream.

After trying few flavors, we decided to get a 2 scoop $8 CA on waffle cone (extra $1.50 CA) for White Rabbit Matcha (half White Rabbit milk candy & half matcha green tea) and Cookie Monster (cookies & cream with house-made cookie dough). Their ice cream was delicious, creamy and not too sweet. Waffle cone was crunchy. If I go back next time I will get London Fog (made with Edmonton's own Vintage Fork Earl Grey tea). This shop has bathroom for customers and accept credit cards. Staff was really friendly.

We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 8:45pm). The worker was friendly and let us sample a couple flavours. There were 24 flavours of gelato and sorbet. I was shocked to see that the prices haven't changed; $4.90 (single), $5.90 (double) and $7.50 (triple). - Triple ($7.50) - pineapple, mango and passionfruit. Texture was luscious. Pineapple was light and airy. The mango was the perfect sweetness. The passionfruit was creamy but sadly didn't have any tartness. Perfect way to end our night. Love La Carraia.

Wish you could get smaller portions as 4 scoops is a lot of ice cream. We tried the Cherry/lemon, Tres Leches, Salted Caramel , and Match Mint chip. Cherry lemon was 6/10, not as strong of flavors as I hoped. Tes Leches was 6/10 very light/no flavor. Salted Caramel was 8/10 - almost too salty but great in combination with other flavors. Match mint was 9/10 good. Overall texture of the ice creams was 10/10 - very creamy, rich, smooth. I also sampled the banana honeycomb and it was 10/10. Just banana pureed but the honeycomb was such a sweet addition. Nice atmosphere to hang out and eat inside or outside on the big picnic table. Overall pretty happy with my experience here.
