Made By Marcus

Made by Marcus Microcreamery now has two locations, one on 17th avenue and one in West Hillhurst.  Their 17th avenue location is known for having line-ups even when the weather is not screaming ice cream.

Made by Marcus specializes in small batch hand crafted hard ice cream. They offer kid scoops, single scoops and double scoops as well as a a 4 flavour sampler.

They have many flavours including seasonal options and usually 4 dairy-free flavours.  Although they do have vanilla and some familar options like rocky road or cookies and cream, their flavours tend to be more unusual choices like passion fruit basil or earl grey chip. The dairy-free flavours are more innovative than most and aren’t limited to fruity sorbets.

You can get your ice cream in a bowl or a browned butter waffle cone.

They also have a freezer where you can get pints of ice cream to go.

My kids got a kid scoop of the strawberry hibiscus sorbet. It was a good amount for them – my big kids loved it but my toddler was not as enthused with the flavour.

West Hillhurst

Their second location opened in 2018 along 19th Street.

When we visited they didn’t have soft serve ice cream yet but they have more hard ice cream options than the 17th avenue location.

They also have seating both inside and outside.
