{Cool off treat: Little Ice Cream and Soda Shoppe in Red Deer}
We headed out to Red Deer on Sunday to celebrate the boy’s little sister’s bday. It was a HOT day so we decided to cool off with a couple of ice creams. The boy is originally from here so he knew where the place to go was, the Little Ice Cream and Soda Shoppe.
It’s a cute little wooden house painted an eye popping shade of Pepto Bismol pink. The place was filled with the delicious smell of freshly baked waffle cones. It was a busy day so we had to wait a bit before we were served, it was kind of chaotic in there. I saw that the menu said “1 scoop = 2 flavours“, so I ordered up the cookie dough and the cappuccino chip…Uh.. does that look like ONE scoop to you. This is like a triple scoop (yes, there is MORE inside that huge waffle cone).
The boy had a “single” scoop too of his fave maple walnut.
Overall, the waffle cones were really good and really fresh, like a crispy european wafer cookie. The ice cream was very rich and creamy. The cookie dough had a weird taste to it though that i couldn’t put my finger on.. Almond extract? It was something unusual that didn’t seem like it should be in there. PLUS, there was NO cookie dough, just chocolate chips 
The cappuccino faired better, nice cinnamon-laced mocha base with dark chocolate flakes. I only ate about 2/3 of this beast before I gave up. I can’t believe I was beaten by an ice cream!! The boy of course finished his like a champ 
In other news.. looked what I got in the mail today.. in preparation for my 10 day Paris trip in October..Oh i can’t wait!
Oh lovely. Have fun in Paris!
That ice cream looks really good about now.
thanks
, i can’t wait, i’ve got a whole food itinerary planned which i’ll blog about too 
Pretty books! I think you’re going to have such a good time!
Thanks for the great review =). I happen to work at that ice cream shoppe and its very close to my heart so its great to hear good experiences. I do find it odd that you had no cookie dough!! Thats no good, I eat the cookie dough often but I have never faced this problem, sorry you had too! Come on back again and I assure you won’t be disappointed!! =) Keep up the great blog, I’m glad I stumbled upon it!!
Thanks, yes, my boyfriend is from Red Deer and it was his go-to place, can’t wait to stop by again next time we go visit
