Abbey's Creations Cochrane - Cochrane, Alberta

We’ve tried abbeys a number of times, typically when McKays was closed or too busy. The different flavour option's of the ice cream all sound fantastic but they end up tasting very sub-par. Prices are outrageous for the sizes and the overall quality of the ice cream. Cookie dough with no cookie dough? Cheesecake with no cheesecake?
I will say, the location is great, pretty and clean inside, but the service is crap if I’m being completely honest. Rude teenage staff that act like they’d rather be doing ANYTHING else than serving customers.

There was a huge line and it was going super slow because she was alone. McKay’s across the street was closed and we came here. I think that it’s a wonderful place for families to go to for a small ice cream break.

We were headed to McKay's but it was closed so we decided to give Abbey's a try. The customer service left a lot to be desired. The gentleman behind the counter was very unfriendly and said few words to us while we were there. In fact, we felt as if we were an inconvenience to him. The interior of the store is colorful and well decorated. They had a variety of flavours however, we found it hard to choose as we prefer the more traditional options, which they were all sold out of. The waffle cone was pretty with the chocolate and vanilla swirl design, but my daughter said the chocolate left a weird film in her mouth and the cone itself was stale. In the end we were not overly impressed with their items, the customer service needs a lot of improvement and I found them to be a bit pricey compared to the competition. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

New favourite ice cream shop! We visited all the way from Canmore for this and it was so worth it! The international flavours they have are nothing like I’ve ever seen, and they are so delicious! They also offer various plant based flavours too! They even offer unlimited toppings and mix them in stone cold style so they’re in every bite. The owners were so kind and lovely helping us choose what flavours to get and we even took some buckets home cause we wanted to try so many flavours! The Ube Queso changed my life and will never compare to anything basic from the grocery store or other ice cream shops haha! Looks like I’ll have to make frequent stops in Cochrane to get my ice cream fix now!

Awful..
Tiny little chunks, single scoop for $8
No wonder McKay's down the street does better. It gives more and is fresh. This is unacceptable. I'll never come back

We live round the corner and thought we should try it one more time years after the bad experience we had. No changes. Poor service for sub-standard highly priced ice cream, they still think they're doing customers a favor. You can stand there for hours and they won't entertain you. Yet the next customer walks in the staff is serving them instead! Sad. Guys, please learn from village ice cream, made by Marcus, parlor ice cream and McKays alike.

Had about 4 flavors the rest were "all out" according to the unhelpful staff and the flavors were very eccentric. Went elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend coming here when there's a much better ice cream shop down the road.

Found this delightful new location which appears to be in addition the the five I know about in Calgary.

I enjoyed a Kid’s size single acoop of something I had never tried before. The ice cream was a mixture of coconut, cream, and purple yam, I believe!

In any case, it was really lovely, and the only suggestion I would have would be for Abby‘s Creations to put out three little round white tables with white chairs because they are in a shadowy shaded area on Main Street and those little white chairs in round shape would make it pleasant for two or four people to enjoy their ice cream once they had purchased it inside.

We are having such hot days this summer I am certain it would draw more customers !

Congratulations on making wonderful ice cream 🍨
