Best Gelato in Gibsons

"Since opening in November of 2013, Rain or Shine Ice Cream has served up homemade ice cream made with fresh, natural, and sustainable whole ingredients sourced locally, seasonally, and organically whenever possible. Patrons fall in love with the crispy, light waffle cones that are the perfect complement to the delicious ice creams. Rain or Shine offers both regular and seasonal flavors of ice cream, with some of the most popular choices being brown butter snickerdoodle, coffee toffee, honey lavender, and the vegan coconut chocolate chunk."

"The aptly named Rain or Shine has been a staple for UBC students in spring classes for years, but is without a doubt a tried and true local favourite as well. And, in the same way, heading over on a Tuesday for their beloved ice cream taco will never fail to put a smile on your face. If you’ve ever had a choco-taco from your local ice cream truck, the Rain or Shine option is like a perfect upgrade to that."

"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."

"Born from friendship and a shared love of ice cream, Earnest Ice Cream launched in 2012 with the goal of creating ice cream that expresses a passion for flavor and a business that embodies the owners’ values by making the world a better place. Earnest Ice Cream works in small batches, allowing for flexibility to experiment with foraged ingredients like fresh spruce bud and elderflower. The shop features rotating seasonal flavors alongside classics like salted caramel and mint chip, and they also serve espresso and affogatos (espresso poured over ice cream) using locally roasted Matchstick coffee."

"No introduction is needed for this local ice cream establishment. Even during a pandemic, its stores can command socially distanced lines and a devoted fan base that will drive from the suburbs for curbside pickups of its pints and ice cream sandwiches. Cherry pie is the newest flavour on its menu, and returning favourites such as toasted marshmallow and vegan lemon are popular picks, too."

"A post shared by Virtuous Pie (@virtuous_pie) on Aug 13, 2018 at 11:32am PDT. Virtuous Pie already has one seriously popular plant-based pizzeria in Chinatown, and they opened another one on the UBC campus in winter 2017. This spot offers a killer selection of pizzas along with an unreal vegetarian brunch and offers craft beer in its dining rooms."

"On any given night, this plant-based pizza parlour is busy slinging pizza after pizza. Virtuous Pie is a first for Vancouver because they use exclusive nut cheeses on their pizzas. When paired with quality ingredients and their three-day dough, you've got a winning recipe."

This French-style ice cream parlour and café in Kitsilano is currently serving flavours such as lemon blueberry ricotta, ganache, and vegan peanut butter chocolate pretzel. Takeaway pints include matcha black sesame and milk chocolate hazelnut."

"Ok, back to some truly classic options, at least in production style. These folks specialize in a French-style ice cream that uses a creme Anglaise base (custard made of egg yolks and heavy cream). It’s decadent and smooth; a veritable labour of love and a sleeper hit for ice cream in Vancouver."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. The products of this ice cream store are made with a thick custard that uses egg yolks and heavy cream. The end product has less air, and so the ice cream is lush, rich, and indulgent."

What that means for us is an array of some delicious flavours, ranging from London Fog to Black Sesame and classic Strawberry. Pro tip- you get a pretty serious discount buying a half-dozen, so maybe take these to your next small dinner party as dessert."
