Edmonton ice cream shops that will delight
Ice cream is an awesome treat year-round, so it’s lucky that Edmonton’s ice cream shops have enough variety to let you try a different flavour every day of the year. But as we all know, ice cream truly shines in summer, when the heat makes you crave an ice-cold treat. These ice cream shops serve decadent ice creams in creative flavours – and they’re made with fresh ingredients, too. [Image credit: iStock/ RapidEye]
Block 1912 Cafe
10361 82 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T6E 1Z9A European café with a charming ambiance and ideal location on Whyte Avenue, Block 1912 is the perfect spot to stop in for a gorgeous dish of ice cream on a hot day — or any day, really. Their ice cream bar is loaded with a great variety of rich flavours.
Old Strathcona Antique Mall
10323 78 Ave NW, Edmonton AB T6E 1N8The book nook at the Old Strathcona Antique Mall serves up a bevy of treats, including Foothills Creamery ice cream. The ice cream is made in Cochrane, Alberta, and has been a family favourite since 1969. They create awesome flavours, such as mud pie, blueberry cheesecake, deep-dish apple, Saskatoon pie and red velvet.
Marble Slab Creamery
10156 109th St, Edmonton AB T5J 1M7With more than 50 flavours of ice cream and over 30 different kinds of toppings to mix in, there are endless possibilities for deliciousness at Marble Slab Creamery. It’s all about choice here; you get to pick your type of cone (go for the hand-rolled waffle cone), your ice cream and your toppings, including fruits, nuts and candy. It’s all mashed together for you so that the toppings are truly mixed into your ice cream. They also serve ice cream cakes and cupcakes.
Braserie Bardot
10109 125th Street NW, Edmonton AB T5N 1S7This old-school Italian restaurant whips up its own gelatos and sorbets in-house. The flavours change regularly, but the fruit-based ice creams are always a sure bet — real strawberries, raspberries or mangos always taste so amazing when blended into ice cream.
Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut
10103 124th St NW, Edmonton AB T5N 1P5The Cococo Chocolatiers shop has a small café inside of it that sells ice cream and gelato. They serve a variety of flavours, such as sea salt caramel, coconut and blood orange, in cones and cups. But, since chocolate is their area of expertise, it’s best to stick with the obvious choice. For a fun twist, go for mint chocolate ice cream — delish!
Popbar
2170-8882 170 Street NW, Edmonton AB T5T 4J2Ice cream on a stick — what could be more convenient? Located in West Edmonton Mall, Popbar serves up ice cold treats — frozen yogurt, sorbetti and gelato — in an easy-to-carry way. You can go simple with flavours such as coffee, chocolate, coconut or banana. Or, you can fancy up your pop by dipping it in white or dark chocolate, coconut shavings or chopped hazelnuts or pistachios.
