Salt & Straw - Alberta

Head to this spot on Alberta for some seriously creative ice cream that actually tastes incredible—think roasted beet and goat cheese or brown butter almond brittle. The vibe is super chill and unpretentious, and the folks behind the counter genuinely know their stuff. Fair warning: the line moves slow, but the unique flavors and quality are totally worth the wait.

Visit on a weekday afternoon to beat the lines that can stretch down the block, especially on weekends. Ask the staff about their current seasonal flavors—they change regularly and often reflect local ingredients.
