Love love love it!! Try the seasonal every time. Unique and creative flavours. The classics are not to be missed either ( cookies and cream, roasted strawberry and buttermilk is the best strawberry ice cream you have ever had. My boyfriend and I go frequently and I always take visiting family and friends.
This place is a must visit if you're an ice cream lover and you're in Calgary. They have some pretty interesting flavours and the staff are more than willing to let you try each of them. My recommendation is that 1 scoop is more than enough 1 scoop = 2 normal scoops. If you don't want that much ice cream then go for a kids size, it would be enough I'm sure. They also have available some baked goods and toy can buy the ice cream in to go jars to take home (you get 1$ off when you bring the jars back). All in all, nice icecream place on 17th Ave to go visit.
The Unicorn at @madebymarcus. I'm always surprised with the massive lineups outside #MadebyMarcus... Even when it's freezing outside. The icecream is amazing but not super cheap. You're looking at $7-10.
The ice cream here is amazing! We usually get plain scoops because it is so yummy, but today we decided to try sundaes, I got the Breakfast of Champions, which was amazing! The cereal milk ice cream was so good. My daughter got the Unicorn sundae and she was thrilled, she loved every bite of it. Highly recommend!
The best ice cream in Calgary! So flavourful and unique. Every flavour I’ve had here is excellent, highlights are the Whisky Hazlelnut Praline and the Happy Camper Sundae. We don't go here often because it gets INSANELY busy on nice weekends (we waited fifty minutes at 9:30 last night), so if you can go during a weekday that’s better. The staff are upbeat though and work as fast as they possibly can.
Hands down the best Cookies n' Cream ice cream I've ever had! They give you a lot for a single scoop, and they frequently update their menu with a bunch of unique flavours. This place is packed no matter what season it is because it's definitely worth a try!
Sweet tooth lovers unite!! Mouthwatering ice cream you can even top with a giant roasted marshmallow! You'll notice the long line up to get into the store as all are hand-scooped and made in front of you. Can buy tubs to bring home as well. Must visit in Calgary!!
I'm not a huge ice cream fan, nor do I have a sweet tooth.
So when we arrived at Marcus, I had my reservations. However, when our order was fulfilled, my reservations quickly dissipated. I ordered the taber sweet corn/blackberry ice cream with waffle cone, and it was simply delicious.
The ice cream had a very nice hint of corn taste, and none of the seeds from the blackberry. I really enjoyed the ice cream, and would not hesitate to go back.
This place is small, with limited seating inside, but we lucked out and most of the patrons just bought the ice cream and left.
Cute little place. Went here on a rainy day and the line was extending from inside to 10 people outside. Happy I tried it, it's different from all the others just not my all time favourite.
I am very satisfied about this place and i recommend it. It's small and a bit confusing but they have a very good Ice Cream. The staff is very friendly. I'm going back to this place, well done guys 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Cute little shop with pretty good ice cream. Looong line though. I guess that is to be expected on a hot Saturday afternoon! I got a scoop of toasted coconut mango (a vegan ice cream) and lemon curd blueberry. Coconut was okay, didn't blow me away, but the lemon curd blueberry was pretty delicious.... sooo refreshing! I do prefer Village Ice Cream, but this place is a solid option for artisanal ice cream in YYC!

Went to Made by Marcus Thursday for the first time and I was sooo excited! After a 15 minute wait in line (which was probably much shorter than usual since it was a bit cold that night) we were finally able to place our order. I went with one scoop of cookies and cream in a waffle cone and my fiancé got a scoop of espresso almond toffee in a cup. I was surprised at how generous the portion was, they really filled up the cone which was awesome! The first bite was delicious! I could tell it was made with good quality ingredients. By the second bite I already felt sick of it and the more I ate the less I liked it. It was just soooo sweet! I ended up only finishing up to the top of the cone (and had a couple bites of ice cream with cone to see if the cone balanced the sweetness - it didn't, it might have even been sweeter) and finally I had to throw it out. I don't think I've ever in my life thrown out ice cream... My fiancé's espresso ice cream was also really good on the first bite and then just got way too sweet after awhile so he didn't finish his either. I really wanted to love this place but I doubt we'll ever go back. I saw lots of people eating sundaes and they were so beautiful so props to Made by Marcus for creating some seriously beautiful treats!
Best Ice cream I ever had in Canada!
I will be visiting this location very often in the future.
The store is super clean and well kept, makes you feel very comfortable that they maintain and keep with with the Covid regulations even though alot of places are seem a bit relaxed at the current time!
What impressed me the most were Liz and Eddie working tonight when I went in. Their knowledge on the products and flavours were so helpful in helping me decide what to get!
Great managed store with this two working and all the customers in the store were super happy!
Great vibes and even greater quality of ice cream, the selection is crazy and so many vegan options!
You will not be disappointed visiting this place!
Thank you all lovely ladies for the excellent service.
Delicious ice cream made from scratch. Super nice staff. There wasn’t a single flavour I didn’t love. Especially big fan of the vegan chocolate one with chunks in it and the espresso pretzel toffee one. Truly one of the best places for ice cream worldwide!!!!
Wow. This place might possibly be the best ice cream I have tried in Canada. They have a great selection of unique flavours, including some seasonal flavours that are only available by month. Luckily, I happened to have a taste of the Marcona Almond & Ganache which is a June special; it was amazing.
But don't worry about having to pick from all of the wonderful flavours, they let you sample some of the flavours beforehand to help you make an educated decision. Would also recommend the single large scoop (equivalent to 2 kid scoops) as you are able to get two flavours in each of the kid scoops.
I was here last month and we were a group of 5 people! We had gone around their closing time and it was the day new rules were implemented regarding masks and we were not aware of it! The girls in the counter we very polite and requested us to our wear masks! They suggested flavors which were fast selling and the ones they liked personally ( as it was our first time there) they gave us time until we decided on our choices! The pecan flavor was the best. Definitely will visit them again!
P.S. there is always a huge line up and the girls working there are humans too and they need sometime to collect themselves before they move on to the next customer. Not everyone who goes in there are patient. I seriously think the girls there do an amazing job!
Flavours 4/5
Ambience 4/5
Customer service 5/5
Pricing 5/5 ( I have been to various ice cream outlets and by far this was the cheapest I have had in Calgary) it was 3$ for a single scoop and the cone!
Tried two flavours the espresso flake and brown butter pecan. Had one scoop of each with a waffle cone on the side for only $6.50 which is pretty affordable for quality ice cream. The worker was very friendly and allowed us to try multiple flavours before choosing.
Luckily noone was there so we had time to sample some super unique flavoured ice cream! Service was awesome and ice cream was made with love...you can just taste the creative passion that goes into each flavour!
This location is small with no seating inside. There are benches outside of the parlour so if it's nice out, you can pop a squat in the sun. This location is very busy so there's often a wait.
The ice cream itself if flavourful and some of their monthly specials are to die for. The God Father Sundae is one of those!
The staff is friendly but they do rush you in and out because there are customers waiting so if this is your first time, look at the online menu and be ready to order.
They allow dogs in the parlour and they'll even give them a little treat -so appreciated as a dog owner. Overall, 4/5 because of the lack of seating and rush.
