50 Best Ice Cream Shops near West Vancouver

“Great experience at this shop! Fairly priced for the area, great flavors (the Dutch Apple Pie was delicious) and friendly service! This shop deserves more good reviews as things seem to have significantly improved over the time (probably a change of ownership/management). Will return!“

“Always friendly esp if u ask how there work days going and mean it 👍😁“

“Originally, there was a small hiccup with my ordered unicorn cake. Mistakes happen, I get it. After a few discussions, it was corrected and prepared for my 6 year old daughter. Upon seeing the cake, my daughter literally yelled out with excitement and said (direct quote) " This is the best cake I have ever seen!".“

“I love Baskin-Robbins. Honestly, the second I saw it I already knew I had to try it. The young lady with glasses working there was super sweet and patient, explained all the flavours, and made the experience feel really welcoming. And OMG…… Beach Day and Salted Caramel Pretzel were SO good. Definitely get samples before choosing because you might end up loving flavours you wouldn’t expect😉“

“The shift leader May is kind and friendly. Actually I am new to Canada and didn’t know the menu at Dairy Queen but she explained every items to me patiently and I am sure she got another loyal customers as well! I will come back again for her friendly service. And the blizzard is delicious.“

“We have been here many times. Sweet or savoury, everything we have tried we have loved. We Love supporting them, and its a great option for kids. Our little guy loves it when we make the trip out to Krave from Richmond for froyo!!“

“Whiskey hazelnut is very good 😋 💕“

“Excellent experience.

The food was really good, not perfect.

The coffee was very good...surprisingly so.

The Halloumi Honey Waffle thing I had was really good.

Not perfect but a genuinely good place for a brunch/lunch style eats.

Seating is good but again, not super spacious, expect busy lunch and breakfast times to be busy.

Very friendly staff. Good location.

Highly recommend.“

“I loved the whiskey pecan flavour. The staff are friendly, too.“

“Amazing, small batch ice cream. The Banana Fudge is like no other! But I also love Honey Avocado or Horchata. Just wish they opened a little later, even if just on weekends, as sometimes we want ice cream past 9pm.“

“I had the “serious chocolate” ice creme today and it was 😋👍🏻 delicious. 🤤🍫🍦“

“When is Earnest ice cream not a 5 star?
I've been to this location several times, and the stagf is always amazing.
I tried the sandwich yesterday and it was as expected, delicious.
Don't miss out on great ice cream, visit this place.“

“We discovered this amazing icecreamery last year and it is hands down our fav on the north shore, and yes, hand crafted, creamy with vegan options, made without yhe rubbish you'll find at most ice cream shops.....we would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!! wonderful service every time-my kids love it!!“

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

“Stopped by for a coffee last Friday evening and the place was cozy without feeling crowded, which was a nice surprise. Their brown butter soft serve is honestly the best thing on the menu, and I say that after probably a dozen visits over the past couple years. The staff remembered my usual order and had it ready before I even finished paying, which always makes the trip feel worth it. Parking around that block can be tight, but there's a small lot behind the building that most people don't seem to notice.“

“Very nice atmosphere—both pretty and cozy! The proportion is also good!

The ice cream options, especially for the dairy-free, felt a bit limited, though. The ones there felt few and somewhat generic. The more interesting ones were all dairy. Slightly disappointing to see.“

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

“We got some pancakes from their food truck and there was a small issue with their pancake machine, but we had to catch the shuttle for Grouse mountain and had to leave. The owner said that he would run and get us the pancakes to the bus, but, the bus had to leave. Then we were on our way and crossed the bridge when we saw him in his truck driving next to us with the pancakes. He followed our bus and delivered the pancakes when the bus stopped! This is definitely the most incredible service and one of our highlights of the year! What an awesome amazing person who deserves all the best! Thank you soo much, you really made us que our kids happy:)“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Exotic gelato options! Loved the black sesame!“

“Bendick's is amazing!

I came for the first time looking for a cake! The lady recommended the cookies and cream as the top seller and oh my was it delicious! I had asked for happy birthday to be written on it only if possible, and despite it being so busy in the store, the lady at the front made it happen all by herself!!

I will definitely come back and try out some of their house made ice creams, highly recommend! Ample parking as well!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best vegan matcha ice cream I have ever had! So creamy and the matcha very flavourful. The hojicha is also top notch.

I found the ube flavour too sweet but other people might like it.

My lactose intolerance thanks you for supplying me with my favourite ice cream flavour in soft serve form. Very hard to find vegan matcha ice cream.“

“The most lovely staff and amazing gelato! It was both mine and the employee’s birthday which was a fun coincidence. Gelato was so creamy and flavourful and the scoops are really generous! My friend is a cherry-chocolate ice cream connoisseur and she said this was the best she’s ever had.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 staff is very friendly and accommodating to clients’ reasonable requests, they’ll be happy to let you try one or two different ice cream flavours so you can decide which one you like as all of them are delicious and very tasty!“

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

“I take my daughter here regularly as it’s in a very convenient location.

Not only is the ice cream fantastic, but the staff are also incredible and exceptionally kind. It’s a Sunday, and we came out for an evening treat, seeing four of them today. They were all so friendly and welcoming.

Hazel has been very attentive to our needs; when we ordered a personalized Father’s Day cake last June, it turned out perfect! She always make it a point to make us feel welcome.

We stop by here whenever we can. My daughter loves coming here. It’s great to have such a wonderful place close to home.“

“It was just random…stuck in traffic and turned my head and was in front of Gems Chocolates! I’ve had delicious chocolate in Switzerland. I’ve tried all types of chocolate from all over the world. The quality of Gems Chocolates is definitely world class and outstanding!!!! Go!“
