Discovering Local Gems in Calgary: Spotlight on Love at First Scoop

At The Gift Designers, we’ve always believed that gifts hold the capacity to foster relationships - whether it’s through a beautifully crafted basket, a heartfelt note, or even a shared experience in our own city. Part of our mission is celebrating the treasures right here in Calgary, and we’re constantly inspired by the creativity, passion, and community spirit of local businesses.

As summer winds down, we want to take a moment to shine a spotlight on one of Calgary’s local gems, the kind of place that make our city vibrant and memorable. One that has truly captured our hearts (and taste buds!) is Love at First Scoop, a charming ice cream shop that perfectly blends whimsy with quality.

A Sweet Story

Love at First Scoop isn’t just about ice cream—it’s about joy, nostalgia, and connection. Their shop embodies everything we love about local entrepreneurs: a commitment to quality, a deep love for the community, and a flair for creating experiences that make you smile. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and playful energy that makes it clear this isn’t just a stop for dessert—it’s a memory in the making.

As a team, we’re drawn to businesses that go beyond selling a product. Love at First Scoop has mastered the art of turning a simple treat into something truly special. Every scoop is served with a sense of occasion, whether it’s a bold new flavor that surprises your taste buds or a classic favorite that takes you right back to childhood summers.

Why Local Matters

In our work, we often talk about the importance of thoughtfulness—choosing something meaningful rather than generic. Supporting local is very much the same. When we champion Calgary’s local businesses, we’re not just purchasing products; we’re investing in our neighbors, strengthening our community, and celebrating the unique stories that make this city home.

Love at First Scoop is a shining example of why we do this. They source fresh, local ingredients and constantly experiment with inventive flavor combinations, reflecting Calgary’s dynamic food scene. By supporting them, you’re not only indulging in a sweet treat—you’re helping a small business thrive, which ripples out into the broader community.

We encourage you to take a moment during the end of this season to rediscover Calgary through its local businesses.
