"I had an amazing experience here! The ice cream was honestly some of the best I’ve ever had — so rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The place itself had such a unique charm too. It’s an older spot that feels like stepping back in time, almost like you’re in the 1960s again. The vintage atmosphere made the experience even better. If you’re looking for great ice cream and a cozy, nostalgic vibe, this is definitely the place to visit!"

"Cute little icecream shop in Bragg Creek close to Bragg Creek Provincial Park. Nice that it's not right in the main part of town and feels more like a hidden gem in the woods. There's a big paved parking lot beside it and a few picnic tables to sit outside (there's tables inside too). The icecream was really good!"

"Cash only spot. Always expect some sort of line up during summer time. The only place to eat the ice cream is outside as its just pure ice cream and money transactions inside. The ice cream and sorbet is from foothills cremery. A lot of different flavours including unique ones. Single scoop goes for 4.75. Really good pricing for what you get. The service is also nice here."

"We tried Black Liquorice, Blueberry cheesecake and Sea salt caramel fudge. All flavours were great. Great service - The lady at the counter even asked which ice cream to put on the top and which on the bottom for the double scoop, which is rare and definitely welcome."

"One of the most amazing ice creams I ever had . We tried Belgium Hazelnut, bubblegum and blueberry cheese cake. Being a chocolate fan for me Belgium Hazelnut was the best one but I really liked blueberry cheese cake too. Highly recommended."

"Ida May’s is a very cute little ice cream shop in Bragg Creek, Alberta. Surrounded by the smell of spruce trees and fresh mountain air, this is a stop you want to make. Portions are good and prices are reasonable. There are many ice cream flavours to choose from, but I went with the Saskatoon Pie ice cream and I was not disappointed. It had lots of fresh saskatoon berries and wasn’t too sweet, and you can taste the delicious cream in every bite. I just wish I had ordered more. Highly recommend."
