17th Ave, Restaurant

Made By Marcus Microcreamery

Made By Marcus, on a rare day without a “real” line

If you frequent 17th Ave, then you’ve seen the lines at Made by Marcus.  We made a visit last year getting a kid’s scoop and two single cones.  I got the cookies n’ cream, as I usually do and I don’t remember what the rest of the family got.  What I do remember is the portions were large and the ice cream was amazing. Since then it’s exploded, at seemingly any time they will have a line well past their building and usually past the neighbouring Waves as well.

Pint’s available to purchase and take home

More than a spot to grab an ice cream cone, Made By Marcus is a Microcreamery.  Everything is made on site, and sampling is encouraged. This year we’ve been a few more times and brought family from out of own.  

Our daughter enjoying the Lemon Curd and Blueberry.

This most recent time was just my daughter and me.  She got a kids cone of the Lemon Curd and Blueberry.  She liked it so much that when she slowed down and I offered to take it and finish it, that she found new room and picked up the pace.  I only got a lick or two. Myself I expanded my horizons with the Caramelized Pineapple & Spiced Rum. I simply don’t have the words to express how good this was.  The Pineapple is sweet but the spiced rum kept it far from ordinary.

In addition, they have coffee and drinks.

Next I need to have one of their milkshakes, however, I think I need to get to the gym for a few hours first.  Because this isn’t health food.  In addition to their rotating Ice Cream flavours, they also have soft serve and several sundaes. Last they round out their offerings with coffee from Monogram.

Enjoy the season by visiting Made By Marcus, but don’t forget to visit them year round.

With a reputation like theirs, long lineups are commonplace
