42 Best Ice Cream Shops in Vancouver

“Whiskey hazelnut is very good 😋 💕“

“Le Parfait is an absolute gem and truly lives up to its name: perfect in every way. The menu offers a delightful variety, beautifully blending flavors that feel both comforting and unique. My husband and I tried the Halloumi Crepe and traditional Lebanese coffee and they were simply out of this world. Every bite and sip brought us a taste of home that felt both nostalgic and heartwarming.
The service was quick and professional, and the staff were very friendly.
You can clearly see the love and passion the owners pour into the place to make it feel like home.
Highly recommended to anyone craving authentic flavors and genuine hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Earnest has really embraced vegan choices; they've gone from 1 plant based choice, to half of the menu being vegan. Complete with vegan toppings and gf cones! I had an amazing scoop of bumble berry crumble on a GF waffle cone. Common allergens were clearly listed and the staff were very knowledgeable about the choices for limited diets! A big improvements since their inception!“

“The first time my sister and I visited this place, we ordered matcha ice cream to share. My sister really liked the taste of it, I think you will like it if you are the type of person who likes to eat more milk because the matcha taste doesn't really pop out to me. In short, my sister loved it and asked to come back =)) Thank you for the wonderful experience !!

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

“Unironically the best chocolate shop I've ever been too. The chocolate is fantastic. Both the normal and the special/unusual chocolates are super tasty. On top of that, the ice cream they offer is also fantastic and very addicting. Overall a great experience, and very well priced.“

“We got these to-go from The Burrow, they sell them in the cooler, and they did not disappoint! The gluten-free cookie is so soft and salty and the vegan icecream was really creamy. We got double chocolate, cookie dough, strawberry shortbread! All three were delish, I can't wait to try more!“

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

“Very nice friendly service with a smile.“

“Gelato Express offers an interesting selection of unique flavors that distinguish it from standard ice cream establishments. The flavor variety is noteworthy and worth exploring.

The staff provided attentive service and demonstrated good product knowledge when answering questions about their offerings.

The establishment offers limited tasting opportunities, so customers may want to inquire about popular options or choose based on flavor descriptions.

A solid choice for those seeking distinctive gelato flavors with reliable service.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

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

“I only come here for one flavor: Akbar Mashti. It’s a Persian ice cream made with rose water, saffron, and pistachios and it tastes and smells incredible.

Ever since I discovered it, I haven’t even considered trying anything else. That’s how much I love it!“

“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 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“

“Super fun store to shop from - I’d love this gem to stay a super secret, but I want to give it the kudos it deserves! Order your ice cream cake ahead of time if you need it personalized! Plant-based options and a huge variety of ice creams available! I love going here because the owner and staff always friendly and helpful!

Kid-friendliness: Kids love it!“

“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 !!!!“

“Cute little in-house gelato place, right in the tiny square outside by the water. We got their dark chocolate, hazelnut chocolate, and raspberry lime flavored gelato and they were INCREDIBLE! Especially the raspberry lime one!! I'll definitely be back for that one, and to try the lemon flavor !“

“We came in after dinner on a weeknight. There were a couple of people enjoying ice cream at their designated seating. We ordered three children's cones. The staff member (Manraj) even let my kids try a couple of flavours before they committed their flavour. My kids had a great time until my daughter decided to jump around with her cone outside of the store—her ice cream fell on the ground. She was quite upset and we walked in and told the staff member what had happened and she did not hesitate to replace the cone happily. We will definitely be coming here for our ice cream from now on.“

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

“My kids love it when ever they get it“

“I come here regularly, I love the drink options and the food they have. The ice cream is nice and they have great flavours I can’t find anywhere else. I look forward to coming here.The staff are all very nice and welcoming!

Parking: In front of the store as well as across the street

Wheelchair accessibility: I’ve seen wheelchairs come in. The entrance is on the same level as the sidewalk. Inside is spacious enough to maneuver, and the large table in the middle is a great height.“

“The counter staff were being yelled at by a rather unhinged individual (see previous 1-star review).

The customer was angry because Dairy Queen didn’t have enough non-dairy options for her liking.
The counter staff attempted to explain that they don’t have anything to do with the menu and she raised her voice at them, made some rude comments, and stood outside the store taking photos of us.

Despite the cuckoo bananas customer, the employee served me with a smile and friendly attitude. the pumpkin pie blizzard is SO GOOD by the way- definitely get it with the whipped cream topping 🤩“

“Great service and greatest number of flavours!!“

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

“Great place to enjoy your treats, bites, cakes, smoothies or whatever you else would like.Pretty good location on the food court in downtown.From minuses is only that they don't have full menu with burgers and fries. But they have awesome smoothies)))“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“
