If you haven’t heard, Tim Hortons has a few locations in Calgary that also serve Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. The combining of the stores was an experiment in the USA first, then they started moving into Ontario and finally, Calgary.
Cold Stone Creamery is similar to a Marble Slab – you pick your ice cream flavours, with the option to add “fix-ins” into your dessert. Almonds, graham crust, skors, coconut flakes amongst a dozen other of textured additions.
I personally prefer the Cold Stone Creamery ice cream over Marble Slab. Marble Slab’s ice cream is far too creamy for my taste, while Cold Stone Creamery texture is thick-to-handle but melts smoothly in the mouth. If you’re in Calgary, you can check out one of the three Tim Hortons locations with Cold Stone Creameries in them, all located in the south:
- 11472 Braeside Drive S.W
- 12100 MacLeod Trail SE, Unit 400, Lake Bonavista Sq Shopping Ctr
- 11488 24th St SE, Unit 400
I certainly hope Tim Hortons decides to expand a Tim Hortons to include Cold Stone Creamery in the north side – its a long drive from Country Hills!
No problem for you and your Prius, though…

Tim’s in Chestermere also has Cold Stone, and the lucky ones like us that live in the north also have the ring road (Stoney Trail), which exits just west of Chestermere, so, Country Hills, don’t deny yourself!
