The Scoopin' Moose

Great ice cream! No fuss, no issues! Great options for flavours and cones! Looking for a sweet treat in Canmore?? Then stop here at the Scoopin’ Moose!!

If you're looking for a cute little ice cream shop in Canmore to beat the heat, I highly recommend checking out the Scoopin' Moose! The staff here is incredibly efficient, making sure you get your icy treat in no time, despite the crowd. We tried a couple of flavors and let me tell you, the "Shark attack" flavor was absolutely delightful! It had the perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess. We visited this place on a scorching hot day, and this place was a lifesaver. The ice cream was not only tasty but also a nice way to cool ourselves down. The shop itself has a cozy vibe, with a chalk on blackboard interiors that adds to the overall experience. So, if you're in the mood for some scrumptious ice cream and want to escape the summer heat, head over to this adorable ice cream shop. With its good variety of flavors, everyone will find something that they like!

The ice cream over here is amazing. I tried a sample of a few ice cream and they were really tasty. I personally liked the rocky road flavour. It was chocolaty and if you are a chocolate fan then you might like it. The best part about this place is that they can make shake from any ice cream flavor. If in Canmore, definitely try it.

On a sweltering summer day in Canmore, we wandered into The Scoopin' Moose seeking respite from the heat, and it delivered a delightful, if unexpectedly familiar, treat. I had assumed the ice cream was a homemade affair, crafted with local flair to match the shop's charming mountain-town vibe, but it turned out to be Chapman's—a solid grocery store staple that's hardly the artisanal gem one might hope for in the Rockies. Come on, folks, with all the incredible local producers around, why not scoop up something truly from the Bow Valley instead of this mass-market standby? That said, the heat melted away any lingering gripes as we savored our double scoops: cookies and cream, rich and crumbly, and coconut, evoking a tropical escape amid the peaks. The array of flavors on offer—dozens of them, from playful Shark Bite to indulgent sea salt caramel—made choosing a joyful challenge, and the generous portions ensured satisfaction. What truly elevated the experience was the service: a young staff member behind the counter, with a bright smile and effortless poise, handled the rush with grace, offering samples and cheerful recommendations that made us feel right at home. Her warmth turned a simple stop into a highlight of our day. Overall, The Scoopin' Moose is a wonderful ice cream haven on a hot afternoon, blending variety, speed, and that rare gem of pleasant staff into a memorable scoop session.

One of two ice cream places in canmore it seems, with the other one being seasonal (hence closed majority of the time). Expect line ups but usually moves pretty quick. Flavours are limited but still rather good options. Kids tend to go for bubble gum the most. The ice cream is fairly soft and they give it in large scoops. Theres also a variety of cones (with costs associated with it). Double scoops go for $7, single $4.85, kids $3. The floats use grizzly paw soda.

Ice cream shop. Service is great but could use more selections.

Me and my family had an amazing experience. We stopped by after some dinner and a hard day of racing at the Canada Cup. Each of us got some ice cream and it all tasted amazing. The guy that helped us out was super nice and sweet. He was very helpful and informative. If you are ever in the area and want a sweet treat I highly recommend this place. Ice cream was great and the service and hospitality was even better. Definitely the best service and kindness people I have ever had at any restaurant I’ve been too.

The only thing sweeter than the ice cream here is Merlin and his family! Very welcoming and caring. They helped us plan the rest of pur trip here in Banff and gave us some insider tips. Definitely recommend! Try the birthday party flavor!
