#1: 80 Flavours Ice Cream
80 Flavours Ice Cream will bring you back to childhood with its stationary take-out food truck setup and outdoor seating. Of course, 80 Flavours isn't just your average ice cream shop as it offers customers dozens of flavours to choose from. From Lemon Pie and Raspberry Cheesecake to the ever popular Pistachio and delectable Triple Chocolate, there is no shortage of options for the ice cream lover who wants to tickle their taste buds. Open until 10:00 pm all week long, you can enjoy a cup or a waffle cone in the afternoon or as a dessert. Find 80 Flavours at 4025 Gateway Blvd NW.
Marble Slab Creamery for Customizable Treats
If you want frozen slab ice cream, why not try the ice cream shop that introduced the frozen slab concept to Canada back in 2003? The Marble Slab is for individuals who want to get creative with their treats and who have a preference for rich ice cream and fresh hand-rolled waffle cones. The fresh made ice cream, frozen yogurt options, shakes, homemade cakes and dozens of mix-ins all make Marble Slab unique. While there are not as many flavours as there are at 80 Flavours, if you want a truly custom experience where you create your own temptations, get a frequent buyer card and stop by Marble Slab at one of about a dozen locations around Edmonton.
Stop By Block 1912 as You Stroll Through the Shoppes
If you want to satisfy your palate as you stroll through the shops down Whyte, Block 1912 Café is a conveniently located ice cream parlour. As Block 1912 is a café, they of course offer baked goods, coffee and tea in addition to ice cream. Go for a delicious Millfill, with its crunchy and sweet texture, or for upscale raspberry gelato, and take a load off of your feet as you shop on Whyte. You'll find Block 1912 at 10361 82 Ave NW.
If you're seeking ice cream shops that enjoy rave reviews by even the most critical of critics, stop by each of these and enjoy their unique characteristics. Try out flavours that you have never tasted, add some toppings or mix-ins, and carry out your dessert inside of a perfectly baked waffle cone. Regardless of what your taste buds want, there is something that will satisfy them at one of these ice cream parlours.
