So take my review with a grain of salt and let me tell you why I liked working there and still like to come back. \n\nIt's a real old-fashioned neighbourhood ice cream shop and as both a manager and customer I love the feeling of community that comes with the place. I loved hearing customers' stories and learning more about them and I know the current staff feels the same.\n\nIt may get crowded on rainy days, but when the weather cooperates, the patio and the garden (at the south end of the building) are great places to enjoy a cold treat or a grilled dog/panini. And the outdoor speakers bring the music of the 50s-60s to you.\n\nThe ice cream flavours are always changing and customer requests are often taken into consideration so speak up about your favourite MacKay's flavour. Last year we created Pop's signature Coca Cola with real candy coke bottles! This year, they have re-introduced a turkey panini with cranberry mustard and apple-onion compote. I tried my first one on Saturday and it was delicious! The grilled Nathan's hot dogs are really tasty, but if you want something that won't tip the scale I would suggest trying the turkey panini.\n\nA true Calgary treasure full of history and carried forward from the city's earliest days. If you're floating down the Elbow, consider making Pop's your landing spot. Easily accessible from the Elbow River bike path and close to Inglewood for a walking detour. \n\nSo come see for yourself and write your own unbiased reviews."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . . "5"^^ . .
