I have lived in Calgary for 6 years and had never been to LIC'S. Every summer I'd say over and over that I wanted to go here, but it just never happened. Finally I got some of our friends reved up to stop in on our walk along the river. That is one great thing about their location, you can grab a cone and sit by the bow river on a beautiful Calgary day.
We got there at 6pm on a Sunday, the line up was insane! We waited though, a long while, the service was quite slow. So don't come here on a busy day and be in a hurry, otherwise you won't get your ice cream. They have about 6 freezers of ice cream, so thats about 36 choices!
Once we finally got to order, they were out of waffle cones, which was a bit disappointing. I got a double in a cup, my Hubby got a half double in a cup. I don't really like that they charge 30 cents for a cup, seems pointless to me, especially when they are already charging $3-6 for the ice cream. Our order came to $11. I got the kit kat and chocolate rainbow. I was blowin away by how much ice cream I got! It was very delish and I had a hard time finishing all of it. My Hubby's half double was the perfect size. They also offer simple snacks, baked goods and lunch items. The ice cream cakes go for between $23-49. They do have some seating, but with the line up it was very crowded.
I'm glad that I finally got to try out LIC'S! They have a huge selection of ice creams, even fat free and organic options! Though the staff was slow moving they were very cheerful! I can't wait to return on a nice day and try something else!
