Soft Peaks recently opened a location across from Metrotown carrying their signature organic soft serve ice cream with cool toppings. Their new location is actually quite spacious inside and I was surprised at how quiet it was (I think I was the only one there during my visit and it was a day before the first day of summer).
I opted for the Green Forest ($6 for a small) with an organic milk/dark chocolate twist (love that you can specify the type of soft serve ice cream), dusted with matcha powder, topped with sweet red beans, and drizzled with condensed milk.
While it’s been a good three years since my last visit to Soft Peaks in Gastown, I have to admit that I’ve missed their soft serve and this is a great addition to the Metrotown area. It’s a bit expensive for soft serve ice cream but it’s worth it to splurge every now and then.
Update: November 2024 - I can't believe it's been 4 years since I last visited Soft Peaks. When I heard they had a black sesame soft serve special, I had to come visit. Midnight mochi crunch, organic white grain brown rice crisps, brown sugar syrup, kinako powder, and shiratama mochi - it was quite good.

Everything was great. They probably need more chairs and tables but overall lots of flavor options and good ice cream

The pistachio ice cream is tasteless. I have no idea how they come up with such an awful flavour.

The taste is not so great. The size is much smaller than it is shown in the picture. It was pricey. I had tiramisu and espresso but it was all powder really. Not recommended.

I was looking for a quiet place to study, I am a student at Alexander College and I found this place with delicious desserts and a quiet atmosphere, it is perfect, the girl who served me was very friendly and gave me good service.

Over hyped fancier Dairy Queen in my option. Not worth the trip if you don’t live close. Three of the options where sold out. I’ve cream was nice but again nothing to rave about
Worst soft serve ever had it had literally no flavour of matcha it was so sweet didn’t even ate after 2-3 bites matcha soft serve was not even matcha it was milky soft serve with matcha syrup on top it was so worst at taste and overpriced way too much.

This is our new favorite place for soft ice cream: love the taste of organic milk, not too sweet just right for an Asian taste. The peach oolong ice cream was very refreshing, can’t wait to go back and try more flavors… strongly recommended, as this place fits my frugal lifestyle ?

Got the original with cereal, the vanilla was very blank it tasted like nothing. The cereal had nothing special as well. Expected more tbh but this wasn’t even the main issue there was a gigantic spider ?️ below the cashier bar which was very much alive ! How unhygienic tbh. The cashier girl was nice and helpful tho
