Taste of Calgary: Best dessert places in the northeast
Calgary food lovers, get ready to indulge your sweet tooth! We’ve discovered three amazing dessert spots in the northeast that serve up more than just sugar, they offer a full-on flavor experience. These aren’t just places we’ve heard about – we personally visited each one, and we were genuinely impressed by the vibrant, authentic treats they served.
Holy Shakes
First up is Holy Shakes, a must-visit spot especially in the summer when you’re looking to beat the heat. The atmosphere is vibrant and immersive, with neon lights and creative artwork that makes for a perfect late-night dessert outing. Originally launched in the Greater Toronto Area, Holy Shakes has expanded across Canada, transforming from a small independent shop into a growing franchise.
Their standout offerings are the Super Shakes massive, colorful, and absolutely packed with flavor. With 12 different varieties to choose from, there’s something for every taste. These shakes are more than just drinks; they’re dessert experiences topped with cookies, candy, whipped cream, and more. It’s no surprise that Holy Shakes has quickly gained popularity across the country.
Rollz Ice Cream
Next on the list is Rollz Ice Cream, a delightful fusion of Canadian and Thai dessert traditions. What started in Scarborough in 2017 as a humble ice cream shop has since grown to 17 locations and counting. Their specialty is rolled ice cream, made fresh in front of you on a cold plate and customized with a huge range of toppings.
The menu doesn’t stop there. They also offer warm, soft waffles, milkshakes, and sundaes. The atmosphere is bright and nostalgic, with a fun 1960s-inspired aesthetic that gives the space a cheerful, retro vibe. With over 50 flavors to choose from, the options can feel endless in the best way. Some of our top picks include Cookie Monster, Oreo & Brownie, and Strawberry Cheesecake. Whether you’re a fan of fruity flavors or rich chocolatey creations, Rollz has something for everyone.
D Sport Dessert Cafe
Last but certainly not least is the well-known D Spot Dessert Café. Established in 2014, D Spot has built a strong reputation for combining quality, creativity, and comfort. Walking in, you’re greeted by cozy seating, playful dessert-themed doodles on the walls, and a menu that’s nothing short of impressive.
D Spot goes beyond just desserts. They also offer savory items like burgers, fries, and pastas perfect if you want a full meal before indulging in something sweet. But let’s talk desserts: they’re bold, over-the-top, and made for sharing (or not – we won’t judge). One of our favorites is the Creamy Dreamy Mango a waffle topped with mango ice cream, fresh bananas, white chocolate curls, and drizzled in Belgian white chocolate. It’s as delicious as it is Instagram worthy.
Final Thoughts
These three dessert spots in Calgary’s northeast deserve all the praise they’re getting. Each one brings something unique to the table from creative menus and vibrant atmospheres to outstanding service and a real sense of community. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hanging out with friends, or just treating yourself after a long day, Holy Shakes, Sweet Rollz, and D Spot are guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.
More than just dessert destinations, these places create spaces for connection and joy. They bring people together families, friends, and food lovers alike to share memorable moments over delicious, sweet creations.
