"A post shared by Rain or Shine Ice Cream (@rainorshineyvr) on Feb 25, 2020 at 3:47pm PST. A classic Vancouver ice cream shop, Rain or Shine has got you covered for cones, sundaes, and tacos on Tuesdays. This spot offers some flavours that are gluten and egg-free, so no matter the weather, they’ve got all your ice cream needs covered."

"A post shared by Rain or Shine Ice Cream (@rainorshineyvr) on Jan 25, 2018 at 3:49pm PST. You are never too old for ice cream cake and Rain or Shine agrees. You can create your own frozen masterpiece by choosing two of their classic ice cream flavours and a base of either waffle cone crust or chocolate brownies."

"Ice cream is good any time of year, says Rain or Shine’s owner, hence the name of this always-popular ice cream shop. Hit them up on Tuesdays for their ice cream “taco” special. Address: 3382 Cambie Street, Vancouver"

"Meanwhile, Earnest has perfected the art of mixing classic flavours with an ever-changing seasonal selection. While that might not be hard to start out, keeping in mind that Earnest has been setting the bar for almost a decade. Whether you’re swinging by for a scoop of Tahitian vanilla or seeing where the wind takes you that day, know that Earnest has you covered."

"So… I was too excited about my vegan ice cream in a 100% gluten-free waffle cone to remember to take a photo!. The taste buds come in first at Earnest Ice Cream!. But just to give you a heads up, I’m all over the Vegan Hazelnut Truffle and the Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Ripple."

"It doesn’t matter which Earnest location you go to, you’ll be waiting in line but it’s worth it. Try their London Fog or Serious Chocolate ice cream."

"A post shared by Renee Yeung | Food & Travel (@thebellydiaries) on Dec 4, 2019 at 2:18pm PST. Offering an excellent selection of vegan pizzas and dairy-free ice cream, Virtuous Pie has made a name for itself over the last few years. Now boasting two Vancouver locations, you can try pizzas such as Ultraviolet (walnut and arugula pesto, cashew mozzarella, tomatoes, kale, caramelized onion, and pine nuts), and Superfunghi (wild mushrooms, potato cream and, mozzarella) to name a few."

"A big meal here doesn’t leave you feeling regretful, bloated or like you need to go run 10km. Tip: Stranger Wings is the cult favorite. Order with all the dipping sauces!!"

"There aren’t going to be nearly as many tourists this summer. So, we definitely think a trip here is more than worth your while, especially when you can try some truly interesting options like black sesame, Osmanthus Flower, and saffron with rosewater. Where: 1001 W Cordova Street"

"One of the most popular places for a cold treat in Downtown Vancouver, Bella Gelateria specialises in low-fat gelato and flavours that differ every time you go there. Pro tip: lineups can get long so it’s either better to go right when they open or right before they close."

"Vancouver is home to a certified gelato master, and Bella Gelateria is scooping up the sweet goodness at their locations. Look for exciting seasonal offerings, or staples like Salted Caramel. Address: 1001 West Cordova Street, Vancouver"

"Vancouver’s organic soft serve ice cream is made from local organic Avalon dairy milk, and handcrafted and ‘churned to smooth perfection‘. Soft Peaks soft serve not too sweet, and so you can choose to add natural sweeteners such as honeycomb on their signature Honeycomb Peak, or a variety of flavored syrups including organic maple syrup (yum!), agave syrup or honey. Their Gastown location is bustling well into the night, and line ups are common."

"Soft Peaks is the first ever organic soft serve ice cream spot in Vancouver, and they’re located right in Gastown. They use organic milk to make their soft serve, and they use local ingredients for all their different ice cream toppings!. If you’re looking for more fun stuff in the Gastown neighbourhood, I’ve got a blog post all about things to do in Gastown."

"@softpeaksicecream is the go to spot when you need something sweet and creamy. – We tried the Mudslide soft serve and the Twisted soft serve with cereal flakes. 10/10 on the #ShnackScale !"

"Tell us how we could possibly make a dessert list and NOT include the world’s favourite ice-creamery?. Dairy Queen had a mere stroke of genius when they used their iconic ice-cream flavours and came up with ice-cream cakes, perfect for a fun birthday celebration, no matter your age!. You can never go wrong with any flavour, whether it be their Girl’s Scout Thin Mint, Strawberry Cheesecake or an M&M Blizzard."

"Thanks for being okay with eating melted ice cream 🙃 ⠀⠀ (it did melt within like 10s tho cuz it was sooo freakin hot today) ⠀⠀ 📷: Black sesame and London fog ice cream on their house made cookie cone. What we love about Tangram Creamery is how their ice cream is not as sweet as your typical ice cream, and they really know how to do their tea flavors right – tried Hojicha and Matcha last time, fell in love with the Hojicha cuz it tastes like Chatime Roasted Milk Tea in ice cream form!!. ⠀⠀ Guysss, our last final is TOMORROWWW and then we’ll be heading down to Seattle and Portland!!!!"

"Sweet Barrel are equal parts ice cream, coffee and one of the most delicious decaf beans the city has to offer. They’re on the medium-light end of things, so you can anticipate your taste buds being romanced by warm carmel and honeycomb notes."

"In the quiet neighbourhood of Lower Lonsdale’s Sam Walker Park, there’s a dreamy place for handcrafted, artisanal ice cream: Welcome Parlour. Belonging to the Hodson Block, a two-storey heritage building dating back to 1912, this charming dessert shop is run by Ian Widgery, a former United Kingdom-based record producer. He partnered with Cadeaux Bakery pastry chef Eleanor Chow Waterfall to create a signature lineup of creamy, old-fashioned scoops for Welcome; from organic blueberry to apple pie to dairy-free lime coconut, each flavour is distinct and special in its own way."

"A post shared by Welcome Parlour Ice Cream (@welcomeparlour) on Jul 11, 2018 at 6:49pm PDT. Welcome Parlour Ice Cream is serving up classic flavours in homemade waffle cones that will be a regular stop on your summer adventures. Their ice cream is all-natural and all-delicious too."
