“Such a lovely spot with an amazing view right beside Lonsdale Quay. They have so many different ice cream flavors to choose from, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is super relaxing, especially when sitting outside and enjoying the waterfront view. Perfect place to hang out with friends, go for a walk, or just treat yourself on a nice day. The staff were also really friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend checking it out!“

“This is my daughter’s favorite gelato shop!

Kids are always honest when it comes to food, and she always chooses this place. We love enjoying their delicious gelato while taking in the beautiful ocean view nearby.

The Korean owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. We always leave with a smile. ☺ Highly recommended!“

“Great little ice cream shop serving Island Farms ice cream. love how simple it is, it’s not trying to be something it’s not, not trying to be fancy. just some good ol’ ice cream nice and simple and nostalgic nothing crazy no extravagant lavender-espresso-cardamom-olive oil-brown butter lemon tart-elderflower ice cream. AND THEY HAVE TIGER TAIL!!! (although they call it “tiger tiger” but let’s be real it’s actually called tiger tail…) LOVE tiger tail. so nostalgic. none of those fancy places ever have it. it’s orange w black liquorice swirls and yeah it sounds repulsive bc i hate black liquorice but it is ACTUALLY SO AMAZING like just try some melted london fog icw cream bc it tastes like melted tiger tail yummmmm!! great dessert after paddle boarding at deep cove. friend/co-paddleboarder got cookies and cream and also rated it 5/5“

“I just had my first taste of the baking from this fine establishment. Wow! It is hard to find rich tasting melt-in-your-mouth gluten free cookies - and these are fabulous. Any cookie lover, gluten intolerant or not, would love them. I bought an assortment and am working m way through them. Yes, the coconut ones are amazing - and the almond - and the chickpea flour, and on and on.
I might also add that these tasty things are also very reasonably priced.
The folks here are also very helpful, friendly, and clearly great at what they do. Thank you!“

“Stopped by Gelato Express in North Vancouver and had a nice experience. They offer a wide variety of gelato flavours, and the staff were happy to let us sample a few before deciding. The gelato was creamy, rich, and tasted fresh, especially the pistachio and limoncello.
The shop itself is small but has a fun atmosphere, with a model train running above the display and a large ice cream cone statue outside that's hard to miss. There are a few outdoor seats, although it can get quite busy during peak hours.
The only downside is that the prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size, but the quality makes it worth trying at least once. Overall, a solid place for authentic Italian-style gelato if you're visiting Lower Lonsdale.“

“Honestly, the BEST vegan ice cream I've had on the north shore!!! Five stars!

This wonderful ice cream parlor and coffee shop is under new ownership.
What a surprisingly wonderful selection of all home made goodies and treats!
The ice cream is made in house, and the owner tells me that over two pounds of fruit goes into each batch! The ice cream comes in every possible flavour you could ask for, including gelato's, and vegan and dairy or sugar free to accommodate the widest variety of needs.“

“Had the best experience ordering a birthday cake for my daughter! Came in on May 15th and Jasman helped me to design the loveliest cake! She had wonderful decorating ideas and was so kind and helpful with all my questions and indecisions. Highly recommend! Amazing customer service :)“

“Old style building.just the way we remember as a kid growing up in North Vancouver..
The ice cream 🍦 is great and cold..Just perfect for the 🔥 hot summer ☀ days.before heading to the suspension bridge 🌉 😋 👌
Keep up the great work and the food is also good when you're hungry 😋“

“I just tasted the legit world's greatest fudge and found out they use butter instead of the new unhealthy canola oil aka rapeseed oil fad and as we in Canada seemed to be hit hardest by a schemed toxin of rapeseed being renamed as it is extremly volatile and toxic in the human body and produces allergy like reactions but that my delicious milk chocolate fudge went fast and I bought extra for later. So happy to find out they only used butter and carnation milk! Don't have a photo of the empty wrapper to post, sorry i ate it that quickly!“

“just love this ice cream parlour ,not just the smoothest creamiest purest ice cream ,but the whole store is beautifully laid out and the staff are so very friendly ,long may you continue giving first class service .“

“This is my first time here. I tried the food and had a coffee. They were a touch, pricey, but then what isn't these days. The service was excellent. There was only one guy serving, but he did an amazing job. So I guess one should compliment the kitchen staff as well.“
