| - After having meat sweats at Bolero, we decided to cool down with some ice cream from my favorite ice cream shoppe. Located in the Marda Loop area on the corner of 42 Ave SW, you can't miss this ice cream joint. It was a Saturday about 7PM when we arrived. There is tons of street parking as well as a large shared parking lot - you should be able to find a spot!
Walking towards my 'favorite ice cream shop' I noticed that there are some benches you can sit on while you enjoy the sun and your cold treat. When I walked in, this place was B-U-M-P-I-N' and full of kids. There is a large candy display to the left but they seem to be running low when I was there, the large ice cream display to the right and a piano in the center of the joint. Then list of flavors is quite large (http://www.myfavoriteicecream.com/#!icecream-list/c1upf). The one thing I enjoy about the large selection is that no matter how picky you are, there will be something for you. Ranging from fruity flavors, to plain jane chocolate, to the crazy wet paint, blast off flavors, you are bound to find one you enjoy!
How it works, is that you have to pay first before you choose your flavors. You are able to sample as many as you'd like but it can get pretty clustered 'cause there are only a handful ice cream scoopers! I decided to get two scoops in a 'cup'. I paid, grabbed my receipt and went to the ice cream display. Like a kid in the candy shop (literally) I always get giddy. I was overwhelmed with the large selection but I was able to sample the ones I wanted. Wet paint, apple pie, red velvet, nanaimo bar were among the flavors I sampled. I felt bad 'cause I was taking forever to choose my two flavors, luckily the scoopers were quite patient! I decided to go with chocolate peanut butter and rolo (typical). They put the scoops in a little styrofoam container which was...different. We all ordered and went out onto a bench, licked and people watched. I really enjoyed the peanut butter chocolate as there were chunks of peanut butter mixed in and the rolo was divine. Smooth, creamy and caramelly, delicious!
The nice thing about this location is that it's a short walking distance to the park across the street. This would be a perfect spot to bring your date... ice cream, park, swings...what more can you want? Talk about intimacy! ;)
All in all, although the ice cream is not home churned, it is a great place to visit when you're feeling ice cream. Large selection of ice cream and candy and sometimes the store bought stuff is just what you need! I wouldn't say this is 'my' favorite ice cream shop but it could be yours!??
