Oh, the best! I’ve just nearly polished off Earl Grey Lavender London Fog in one sitting. One has to exercise restraint! My all time fav is the Creamy Coconut. When I learned Choices had a deal on your gelato, I scooped up six to sample and enjoy. Love your product because I feel free to indulge. Your gelato is a guilt-free dessert with its relatively low fat/sugar content and many are no dairy. I wish your company continued success in 2020! More...

This place is cute and very easy to drive to. Tons of parking make it convenient. The gelato is fantastic and they are a B-Corp, which is something I will happily support with my wallet. We had single scoops of the Cappuccino and the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter. The Chocolate one needed way more peanut to balance out the richness, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Lots of cool merchandise is on display and several to-go (or takeaway as it's known here!) options offer up a convenience for locals. Their washroom was really nice and clean as well. More...

My favorite was their lavender london fog. It was not too dense. Not too thick or too over powering. Light and refreshing especially on a hot day. Definitely one of the better gelato that I ever had. I loved it. The fruit passion lemonade was not bad either. They are only located in Calgary. The reason why I got to try it was because they sponsored the Ride To Conquer Cancer event. I was one of the riders. So I was lucky to be given the opportunity to try their gelato.If I go to Calgary, I will definitely go for their Gelato again. More...

Great gelato. The website indicates a tour is available. We traveled all the way from Las Vegas, NV and were excited about this tour only to find out a special event was going on and there will not be a tour. The manager said we should have called ahead to schedule. The website never mentions advance reservations required. We are so disappointed. Not a good system. More...

First of all the staff are amazing. The Gelato is also amazing. I haven’t had one yet I don’t like. Choosing is the hard part. I love that they are 100% local and expanding across Canada. I feel bad though that those not here in Calgary have a limited choice. More...

What an awesome experience!At last I went to the place!It's a Calgary base business so I think it's a duty for Albertans especially Calgarians to support this awesome business! When you enter the place you can see people are working in the factory. It has a warm cozy atmosphere, kinda like a family business!Everyone had smile on their face and I felt welcomed there. The customer service was awesome!I walked from work, on a cold day, with likeminded friends to have ice cream and what a good decision!The atmosphere was good, the quality of the ice cream was pretty good and overall I had a great experience and can't wait to take more friends to this place and share my joy! :)I don't think parking is an issue.That area in general is not the best area for walking, but we walked and it wasn't too bad.I definitely recommend this place and even though you can buy their products at some grocery stores, I think it would be a very good experience if you go to this place, where they actually make ice creams.

As a B-Corporation the company is driven by more than just profit, which makes for a really rewarding culture and workplace - it's about doing the right thing and having a community impact. The brand is growing fast across Canada which means things often move & change very quickly. This can be stressful to keep up but it's a tremendous opportunity to work at the company. The employee perks are great and the facility is an inspiring place to work at everyday. As a team member, you are given the freedom to try new things & innovate but also the freedom to fail (in creative positions more than technical ones though). Recommend you have an entrepreneurial mindset to succeed here, with a desire to grow with the company rather than just show up for a pay check. As a growing company, some of the systems There can be high turnover during the 90 day probationary period for new hires but this is because accountability and performance expectations are high across the board, and many people are not used to this coming in.Pros health benefits, profit sharing & employee ownership, lunch program, free gelato & coffee, flexible vacation, professional development fund, company library, event tickets, team buildingCons Don't have some of the tools/resources compared to bigger companies.

Fiasco location is a bit strange but pretty neat inside, we can see all the machines they use to make their flavour and frozen treats. When I walked in, the employee asked if I was picking up the dry cleaning..... WT*... I hope they don't say that to all their customers....That aside, i tried the strawberry orange blossom (okay, not bad) and the cookie and cream (pretty good! and blue) I got a small cookie and cream and I asked why it was blue, she told me they partnered with a charity and their colour is blue hence the colour of the cookie and cream. Pretty good! I enjoyed the ice cream and definitely will  come back and pick up their dry cleaning for free ice cream ;) More...

What do I recommend about Fiasco Gelato - where do I start. I love the fact that you are always greeted by a friendly super helpful team member when you walk ion the door. They are always willing to let you try several different flavors of gelato before you try. When you make your decision you find out that you can put 2 flavors in your small gelato. Oh the decisions!!! Then you stare with amazement at the generosity of the serving size. (not that it is a problem eating the deliciousness that is in the dish) It frequently has very unique flavors such as blueberry Greek yogurt and Black current (which is called something else so I had to ask). If there is a few or you there, they serve a flight of different flavors. I also love the way that Fiasco always has a flavor or 2 that has a portion of the price going to a charitable cause. It was through their community support that i originally got introduced to them, but it is the friendliness of the location and the top notch quality that keeps me going back. More...

First of all, the ice cream Fiasco Gelato offers is unbelievably awesomely creamy and tasty! You got to try it! Then, they have someone like Nathan who is so kind and gracious in dealing with unexpected demand. We made a mistake by misreading an info about free tours in the factory in August. There’s no free tours until September. Nathan quickly fixed our disappointment with the most delicious scoops of nutella flavour ice cream. Thank you Nathan! You made our day! More...

This gelato is SPECTACULAR.Every flavour Ive tried is AMAZING especially the salted Carmel and even the dark chocolate, which is shocking because I HATE dark chocolate, I dont know how they do it ! And even better, did you know the interesting story of the owner who grew up homeless, he is doing SO well for himself and especially for those around us less fortunate. Did you know he donates $1 from the cost of each sale to feeding the homeless, that is a huge chunk of his profit margin, what an amazing guy. Plus they make a point of paying quite well, more than minimum wage, they pay a decent living wage for decent workers and WHY NOT. Congrats Fiasco, I adore your food and your way of life. Thank you for being here, and I wish you all success in future PS If you are looking for a restaurant locally; Whatever you do, NEVER go to the Calgary restaurant The Guild. The insane manager literally called the police and tried to put me "under citizens arrest" for accidentally knocking over a glass of wine- see my full review here    yelp.ca/biz/the-guild-ca… More...
