Fun little last day in Canada ice cream date! Location is easy to find and with plenty of street parking. They have a variety of options but no additional toppings. Overall the ice cream was good and it was a fun unique experience that I'd recommend if in the area! read more

Ohhh this was goood!! Sorry forgot the flavors we tried. Very creamy and not too sweet.

What a cute little ice cream stand! I stumbled across the school bus while walking down the street. They have a decently sized outdoor eating area and there is street parking right out front (not free until 8pm). They also make milkshakes and shaved iced. The employees were friendly and quick. Customers are only allowed 1 free sample so choose wisely! I like that they offer a sugar free option. I went with a kid size chocolate peanut butter scoop. It tasted very fresh and home made. read more

Old School Bus Ice Cream - black raspberry bugaboo - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Heads up, they're only open during the summers. Would recommend keeping up with them on Facebook because that's how they announce when they're coming "out of hibernation", where they'll be, when they can only take cash, when they're closed because of weather or private events, and all the other general updates. Also, if you're planning to park in the immediate area, this part of 9th street is $3 per hour from 8 AM to 8 PM during peak season. Also, a thing to note is that their patio area is pretty open to the elements. There are one or two umbrellas on the table(s) but, during the summer there is little to no shade besides those thanks to the angle of the sun. So during the time when the sunlight is REALLY beating down or when it's raining, people are going to stake their claim on what little there is. If you really want someplace to sit down and enjoy your treats while the patio space is too crowded, go back to the other side of the block where the park is. Or at least, they have benches and trees where out around the Canmore Museum. Old School Bus Ice Cream really does SUPER tasty ice cream while being one/two streets over from Canmore's main street. They also do floats, milkshakes, shaved ice, and canned drinks/soda from what I was told was a local Canmore company (The Grizzly Paw). Super integrated with the local community. They have pamphlets and stuff for new local restaurants and participate in money-raising for charities. So if you're looking for something new to do or visit, drop by to see if they're advertising anything (almost like a bulletin). Overall, if we visit again, this is definitely our list. And I definitely want a cone and MORE scoops next time lol. I had admittedly tried their green tea because I was wondering/testing what kind of flavor it would have, and it was wonderful. Wonderful enough that this is a must-return-to spot in order to try even more flavors! read more

Super fun ice cream stop! They had so many flavors and also let you try flavors. Really fast turnaround time. Takes card or cash. I loved that they had different sizes of ice cream. The kiddo size was perfect for us, and only $2.50 CAD. Nice outdoor seating. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

Here are our FIVE star FAPS: Food (F): School's out! Summer's here! Old School Bus Ice Cream is your go to summer ice cream treat! We tried five flavors in two days- Cherry Cheesecake (special), Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Bear Claw, and Cookie Monster! All we delicious , but our top three included Cookie Monster, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and Bear Claw! The price for ice cream was unbelievably cheap for their portion size and flavor in comparison to ice cream from Hawaii and Los Angeles! Best ice cream in Canmore, especially since they are open later than 8 PM! Ambience (A): Love the concept of the ice cream shop being a bus! Lots of family and friends getting ice cream, but not a lot of seating options. Have to be lucky to snag a seat! Parking (P): Free on street if after 8 PM! If not, follow the QR code on parking meters to pay for parking! Service (S): Friendly and Quick service! Overall, a MUST go to place for ice cream in Canmore! Would recommend! read more

Old School Bus Ice Cream has been around for 18 years, so they must be doing something right. Located on a side street in Canamore, it's clear that it's uniqueness make it a Canamore staple. It's a former school bus turned into a hippie / ice cream mobile. I ordered the Maple Walnut in order to taste the Caniadneness in each bite. The ice cream was really good. Highly recommended read more

The Old School Bus is my annual stop to bring my students for an end of the year treat. We look forward to it every year. The staff is always so welcoming and happy to help us when we bombard them all at once. We really appreciate they have some sorbet flavours as I have a few dairy-free students. read more

Really cool spot with a wide selection of ice cream flavors. We visited twice during our visit to Canmore and you can tell they get a lot of traffic. They also have shaved ice but we only tried the ice cream. There's a few tables if you wanna sit. Their hours are pretty good, open from 11 am to 10 pm so if you have a late sweet craving this is a good choice. read more

Ice cream was average. People working were fine, friendly enough. I don't know if it's because there aren't better options in Canmore, but I wasn't impressed with the ice cream. Got the chocolate peanut butter which was oddly bland and not creamy or flavorful at all, and the rainbow sorbet which had more flavor but is your typical run of the mill artificial rainbow. Had to wait about 15 minutes in line and it really wasn't worth it. I feel bad giving a mediocre rating but Yelp let me down on this one. If I'm back in Canmore, I don't think it would be worth returning to - I should've just went to Safeway and got a pint of Haagen Dazs which honestly would've tasted much better. read more

A must visit in Canmore!! It's a quaint and unique ice cream shop that it ONLY OPEN MONDAY TO THURSDAY! They have a multitude of flavors to choose from. We got the Bear Claw (chocolate ice cream with cashews and caramel) and Mocha Almond Fudge, which had actual mocha beans in it. Both were rich and creamy, and so so good!! As a chocoholic, it definitely hit the spot. Would definitely come back read more

This is my favorite dessert place in Canmore. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The ice cream is delicious! Don't forget to bring cash! And if you can, I'd recommend paying in CAD because they do not exchange at the exchange rate. My wife and I shared several flavors -- about half of their menu options -- and our favorites were the Caramel Praline and Birthday Party. Highly recommend! read more

Old School Bus Ice Cream - Triple scoop in a waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Besides the unique location and being served out of a school bus, this spot just didn't check off all the boxes for amazing ice cream. There are a number of flavors to choose from. The line moves rather quickly. Unfortunately, the ice cream was super icy and I didn't find it any different from getting a scoop from a carton in the freezer aisle at the store. Large scoops and friendly peeps behind the counter. Not enough though to bump it up to above average. Great for families with small kids though. read more

What a neat ice cream spot. It's in an old school bus as the name would suggest. It's always parked in the same place. They have a lot of unique flavors. We each got 3 scoops in a waffle cone so I tried (in order I liked them the most to least): caramel praline, birthday party, butterscotch ripple, butter pecan, maple walnut, mango. The top 4 were delicious. The bottom two weren't that great. My parents really liked what they got as well. They have a couple of tables outside to sit at an well as a bench. They only take cash and they accept US dollars as well. I wouldn't recommend paying in US dollars though because they still charge you the Canadian price, so you pay more. This is a great local spot that I would definitely recommend checking out! read more

Came here a few times during our week long trip in Canmore / Banff National Park. Everyone working the bus was helpful and friendly, and me and my bf thoroughly enjoyed our evening walks to get our ice cream! The area around is beautiful, and the area by the bus has seating if you need it. We had their mocha almond fudge, strawberry, and chocolate fudge brownie flavors. All yummy! read more

We stopped by after having some pizza, my fiancée is a ice cream fanatic. The selection was great they even had maple walnut which is hard to find. The ice cream itself was ok..my fiancée said the cookie dough was REALLY sweet which is unusual as he's a person who loves sweet thing. I had the cookies n cream which was ok as well, not too much of a flavor besides when you bit into a cookie itself. Cute concept and location and they have an outside patio area with chairs. read more

A wonderful find in Canmore! The ice cream is creamy, delicious and not overly sweet. We loved it!

Discovered this place while we stayed in Canmore. It is literally across the street from our hotel stay. There's always a line outside. It moves pretty fast though It's super cute! They serve ice cream out of an old school bus! I got the orange cream flavor and my bf got the bubblegum. Both so yummy! I knocked out one star because our total was 7 CAN and we handed the young girl a $10 USD, and we waited for our change and she kept it. We were gonna tip anyway, but the expectation of doing that kind of threw us off lol read more

Adorable ice cream "food bus/truck" in the heart of downtown Canmore offers visitors like us a tasty reward after a day of exertion on area trails.

This is located in the downtown area. Easy walk and convenient. It has a good selection of ice cream. It had friendly staff. There's a place where you can walk around and enjoy your ice cream.

Such a great spot along the main street of town that gets allot of foot traffic. I love that they fixed up an old yellow school bus to pass out generous scoops of delicious ice cream! 1 scoop goes for about $3, but it looks like 2 scoops. I could've done with a kiddie scoop of my moose tracks, but who am I kidding? I shared my scoops with my guy and I found myself side-eyeing him to dare him to finish it before I did. He's a quick learner because he waited until I let him have the last bite and crunch of the cone. That's how relationships last people. Wait 'til the mean lady tells you when. A great nostalgic look and taste of creamy, no frills cold scoops on a warm day with the mountains in the distance. Nothing could be better. read more

It is a converted old school bus on a parking lot on 8th. The ice cream was pretty good and loved that they have kid scoop. Price is reasonable. Will definitely be back in the area. I had the maple walnut and loved it. read more

I hate to be the naysayer here but I thought the ice cream was just okay. Maybe I'm spoiled by more artisan, natural, organic ice cream in San Francisco, but I just wasn't that impressed. Cash only, so minus points for that. If you have US dollars they will take that but at a 1:1 exchange rate (they are making bank on that exchange rate) It's unique and eye catching that they serve the ice cream out of an old school bus. They have a pretty wide selection of flavors that include mint chip, green tea, birthday cake, tiger (licorice/orange) amongst others. The flavors are very artificially colored so if you get the birthday cake flavor you'll look like you ate a Smurf. We got the mint chip, birthday cake and raspberry cheesecake. The portions are huge and 2 scoops is more than enough for 2 people. I liked the mint chip - it was pretty standard green mint chip ice cream. The raspberry cheesecake was good but heavier on the cheesecake part than the raspberry swirl part. The birthday cake was good but a bit too sweet for my taste and probably too much blue food coloring and sprinkles. The texture was soft and creamy but definitely not your artisan, all-natural homemade stuff. You'll get quantity over quality here. Not super unique flavors but if you want pretty standard ice cream at inexpensive prices and big scoops, this will fit the bill. read more

Great good old fashioned ice cream out of a school bus. I ordered the moose tracks on a cone and wasn't let down. Service is quick and friendly. The price is right and it is super convenient to either take to go and stroll the town or to sit and enjoy there as well. Outdoor seating and it's first come first served so if it's a busy day you may not be so lucky. read more

Excellent ice cream selection. Cute little shop. Lovely texture to the ice cream. Family friendly.
