“I stopped by this location on Quebec Street on a sunny afternoon craving something sweet and it turned into one of those little moments you remember at the end of a long week. The shop itself is small and simple but feels lively with people lining up for scoops and chatting about what flavour they’re most excited to try. They rotate their ice cream list often so there’s always something new to sample and that makes trying a few tastes part of the fun before you decide what to order.“

“I had the chocolate cake on our 6 years celebration.....It was very moisty and yummy...thank u apu for making our day special“

“Delicious ice cream! Great staff. Very helpful. Amazing vibe“

“If you’re gluten-free, finding dessert spots that are actually safe and still incredible can feel like a rare win — and this ice cream shop absolutely delivers. Everything is 100% dedicated gluten-free, which means you can walk in and order anything without the usual cross-contamination stress. For anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivity, that peace of mind alone is huge.
But the real star of the show? The ice cream sandwiches. They’re hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. The cookies are perfectly soft and chewy with a slight crisp, the ice cream is creamy, and the ratio is spot on so every bite is balanced. They feel indulgent, nostalgic, and elevated all at the same time.
They also have vegan “nice cream” options, which is such a thoughtful touch. Even if you’re dairy-free, you’re not stuck with boring flavors — the vegan options are just as rich and satisfying as the classic ones.
The whole place feels like a dream for anyone with dietary restrictions: delicious, inclusive, and made with real care. Whether you’re gluten-free or just love amazing ice cream, this spot is absolutely worth the visit. Note that they’re also available via Uber Eats!!!“

“Friends have been telling me for years that I would love it here. Finally got the chance to visit and returned a second time within a week's time. Unique and delicious ice cream with the mango coconut sticky rice keeping up to its popular reputation.“

“A superb atmospheric place with great friendly service to enjoy the finest of coffees, desserts, teas and the best gelato in town.“

“Best gelato in town 👍🏻“

“Really delicious gelato. Some of the family got the sorbetto (diary free) and loved those too! We recommend the mango, the new fashion chocolate, the midnight chocolate, the coconut, the pumpkin pecan bread, and the oreo. We can’t wait to return!“

“It's a tradition for my family to end our trips to Vancouver w a gelato at this location. Food is well presented and staff are great.

I can't do dairy, so I get the sorbetto. Usually they have a lot of options, but on this trip (mid November) one of the freezers was down and so I only had a few choices. Still loved what I got.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is changing lives with his trading skills and good profit returns and he’s the best account brokerage manager you can find. Hurry contact him for your binary, forex litecoin etc investment. Ralph Carico“

“I had a very disappointing experience here. I had a “WE SPEND” voucher that clearly listed this store and its address. Before leaving, I double-checked to make sure everything was correct. While I was waiting in line, the staff started talking to me and asked me to choose an ice cream flavor, so I said coconut and pistachio. By the time I reached the counter, they had already scooped one for me. Then they told me they received a call yesterday saying they would no longer accept the voucher. I was left with no choice but to pay, and it felt like I was being forced into a purchase rather than being supported in enjoying a local business. On top of that, this gelato isn’t even half as good as Passione Gelato—which is cheaper too. Completely frustrating and disappointing.“

“fantastic ice-cream and friendly service“

“Best gelato in town 👍🏻“

“Stopped by Bendick’s Ice Cream Factory looking for the very first time and was instantly greeted by the sweetest lady—pretty sure her name was Monika. She was super friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about all sorts of ice cream and especially allergy info (huge plus!).

Bought and tried the bucket of Kulfi Mango ice cream—WOW, absolutely delicious! Ended up grabbing a few boxes of popsicles too. Not only is this place serving top-tier ice cream, but Monika’s warm energy and customer service made the whole visit unforgettable. Thank-you for making me and my family so happy and for sharing your amazing knowledge about ice cream! 💛🍦

Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks Monika!“

“The best chimney cakes. My favourite is with Nutella and cinnamon🤤 Will be back soon! Yummy“

“Delicious ice cream! Great staff. Very helpful. Amazing vibe“

“Today I sent to my sister in law a sweet surprise from Yum Sweet Shop! I placed the order by Dash and it was on time, delicious and gave joy to her!! Thank you!!! Totally Recommended !!!!“

“wow this is amazing! I had the gluten free Crist with all vegan options. so delicious. you have to try it!!“

“The servers are great, friendly and kind. The gelato is fantastic. Our students love D'oro Gelato.“

“The ice cream is located inside Whisk Match Cafe. The cafe has seating and lots of other lovely vegan treats. The soft serve is not available every day so we settled for a frozen tub of ice cream. It was really good. Matcha flavour without bitterness and much creamier than some vegan soft serve I’ve had elsewhere. They have rotating flavours and can check the schedule to tell you what flavours will be coming up. If you don’t live in Vancouver it can be a bit if a downer that the flavour you want isn’t available. Updated from previous review on 2024-09-23“

“My favorite dessert, crème brûlée,is now a gourmet ice cream sandwich and dipped in chocolate. What’s not to love? It was excellent.“

“The gelato wasn’t bad, and the Toblerone flavour could be more vibrant. It felt bland, I was expecting more flavour and it didn’t deliver. The Peach Mango was good though, it was vibrant and clear. The service was great—very encouraging and helpful.

The service is what boosted it from a 3.5 to a four.“

“If you like filled donuts, this is a great place to visit. Tiramisu, Lemon Curd, Chocolate Pudding, PB and J and Hazelnut are a few of our favorites.“

“Great service and greatest number of flavours!!“

“Had the pleasure of being assisted by member of the team “Sharif” - for our group order. Sharif was tremendously helpful, efficient, and very professional with his service. He took his time to carefully and articulately input the greeting we wanted on each of the many ice cream cakes we purchased - and done an overall exceptional job.

Thank you, Sharif - and keep up the amazing work!“

“Baskin-Robbins consistently delivers top-quality ice cream with a fantastic variety of flavors. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and the shop is clean and welcoming. Whether you're in the mood for a classic favorite or something new, the experience here is always enjoyable. Definitely a go-to spot for ice cream lovers!“

“My favorite coffee house in Vancouver. Delicious single origin coffees, small-batch roasting, and expert preparation. This is exactly what I look for in good coffee. Plus, the delicious ice cream they make. On top of all that they showcase local artists in their shop. Great vibe, a small cozy space.“

“Friendly amazing customer service tonight. Thank you to Matt for being accommodating to my friends and I. Pulling up extra seats and even joining in on the fun we had.“

“Love the ice cream cake decorator. He is creative and talented ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“My kids love it when ever they get it“

“Excellent gelato! Very nice service & store well laid out for social distancing. Wheelchair accessible.“

“I had a last minute request for a birthday cake and Simon was so helpful and considerate! He ensured we would be the only ones in the store to protect our health amidst this COVID-19 chaos and offered me hand sanitizer when I walked in! It was also a delicious cake! :D We will definitely be back, thanks Simon!“

“An amazing little desert spot. Great service and the deserts were delicious. We had the tiramisu, coconut cake and pineapple cheesecake. All were great but if I had to pick one, it would be the tiramisu. Very good earl grey tea served in stoneware. Also, the warm water is a nice touch to go with cold desert on a chilly November day.“

“We found this cafe in the late afternoon of a Saturday. We needed an energy boost after walking around Granville Island. We go to Granville Island quite often, but we have never been to this side and have never noticed this cafe.

We ordered a coffee, a cookie and a tart. Everything tasted great, but they were priced towards the higher range.

The interior design looked good, too. However, towards the closing hours, the cafe might not look its best in terms of tidiness. There was a lady having a video cal behind me, and she was quite loud. She also played her hair at the same time, so much so that her hands touched my head a few times, which was quite annoying. Not the fault of the cafe, though. Perhaps if the chair was not placed so close to me, it could have helped.

In a higher end cafe like this, I did not expect people being loud like that. However, I am not a regular to cafes, so I do not have an idea of how people normally behave.“
