Best Gelato in Granville Island

"The west side of Vancouver is home to the uber-popular Rain or Shine homemade organic ice cream emporium. Using local ingredients and offering delicious (including vegan) flavor combinatinations like Earl Grey Lavender, Malt Chocolate and Blueberry Balsamic, Rain or Shine scoops cones, cups, and shakes until 10 PM every day. Fans rejoice: they really celebrate ice cream goodness on Taco Tuesday, where ice cream tacos (your choice of flavor and topping in a taco-shaped waffle cone) are the most delicious deal in town."

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."

One of the main players in the Vancouver ice cream game, Earnest will keep you coming back for more all summer (and winter) long. The rotating, small-batch flavours make this spot a must-return for those with a sweet tooth."

"If you still have some room in your dessert pocket – the place in your stomach reserved solely for dessert – make your way to Earnest Ice Cream for some of Vancouver’s best. Home to both classic and trendy flavors alike, this is the perfect way to end your last day in Vancouver."

"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."

"Address: UBC – 3330 Shrum Lane, Vancouver BC | Chinatown – 583 Main Street, Vancouver BC. This is an all-vegan pizza place that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time. We grabbed the following pizzas (everything was delicious and all my non-vegan friends enjoyed the pizzas as well!):"

"Virtuous Pie is one of my favourite vegan restaurants in Vancouver!. I’ve been eating at their Chinatown location regularly for years. They have another location in UBC, but I’ve found the UBC restaurant to be inconsistent."

"There aren’t going to be nearly as many tourists this summer. Great place to try some new flavours, and worth seeing what all the fuss is about. They’ve been named Vancouver’s best ice cream many times over, after all."

"The owner of this place has won gelato competitions all over the world, even in Italy. Believe me when I say, just go!"

"A post shared by Soft Peaks Ice Cream (@softpeaksicecream) on Apr 10, 2019 at 3:16pm PDT. This spot’s soft serve is all-natural and lower in calories and fat than traditional ice cream recipes because it is made with Avalon organic milk. You can also add an assortment of fun toppings to your cone."

"Ok, Soft Peaks is definitely more in the ‘crazy’ category than the ‘classic’ one, but we love it all the same."

"A post shared by Glenburn Soda Fountain (@glenburnsoda) on Nov 15, 2019 at 8:13pm PST. This spot is a staple in Metro Vancouver’s ice cream scene. You’ll find ice cream sundaes and classic soda fountain treats throughout Glenburn Soda Fountain’s menu."

"When you look at the menu of ice cream treats at Glenburn Soda Fountain in Burnaby, it’s pretty hard to choose just one. Go with your gut, or get the sampler (and some spoons for sharing). Address: 4090 Hastings Street, Burnaby"

"Located in the heart of Vancouver’s traditional ‘Little Italy’ on Commercial Drive, Gelateria Dolce Amore is a family-owned and operated gelateria with neighborhood roots that are four generations deep. Dolce Amore’s gelato makers combine the creativity of an artist, the inspiration of a chef, the discipline of a craftsman, the precision of an architect, and the passion of a composer to handcraft the shop’s incredible gelatos and sorbettos. Their commitment to this special artisan craft is evident in every taste."

"And fittingly, we’re back into the world of innocent (ha, get it?) ice cream. Rather than opt for the dairy-free route, Innocent instead specializes in gluten-free ice cream sandwiches that are downright delicious. It’s arguably tougher to be gluten-free than vegan in Vancouver, so we think this is a great option for anyone in that boat."

"4895 Main Street, Vancouver Tel: 604-879 8584 Web: http://innocenticecream.com Instagram: @innocenticecream Advice: Counter service. It is all about ice cream sandwiches (regular size and mini) here in this newly opened ice cream parlour that is close to Queen Elizabeth Park,…"

"A post shared by Innocent Ice Cream (@innocenticecream) on Jul 16, 2020 at 12:01pm PDT. Not your average ice cream sandwiches, Innocent’s sandos are gluten free and massive in size. They’ve got a dozen different flavours of ice cream sandwiches to choose from."

"The Say Hello Sweets truck hit the streets of Vancouver in the summer of 2016, scooping dairy-free flavours like the popular Cafe No-Lait. There's a unique backstory to this creative culinary venture, too: Owner Naomi Arnaut launched her ice cream biz as a way to fund medical care for her dog, Babycakes."

"A post shared by Say Hello Sweets (@sayhellosweets) on Jun 24, 2020 at 12:49am PDT. Say Hello to this charming ice cream joint. Made with all-natural ingredients, this is the ice cream treat you didn’t know you were missing in your life as each flavour is handcrafted for your pleasure."

"A post shared by CANDY/ICE CREAM/DESSERTS (@yumsweetshop) on Jun 15, 2020 at 12:26pm PDT. Yum Sweet Shop is basically the doorway to heaven. They don’t just offer candy, as they’ve also got soft serve and regular ice cream."

"Few places evoke the feeling of summer as well as Raglans – this surf-style atmosphere offers great tunes, tacos and did we mention fishbowl drinks…. 15 Lonsdale Ave.Monday to Friday 4pm-10pm | Saturday & Sunday 10am-10pmraglans.ca"

"It was okay....we were pretty hungry and wanted to have some food. The food ended up being too much and without salt. I was expecting something better."

"Dynasty boasts twinkling chandeliers, views over the city from its first-floor perch on West Broadway, and, thanks to chef Sam Leung, some of the city’s best modern Chinese food. Open daily from 10 a.m. for dim sum, its standouts are the buttery barbecue pork cha siu bao with baked lemon, and the silky, wafer-thin dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp, scallops, and black truffles."

"A post shared by Lee Man (@lee.f.man) on May 9, 2018 at 7:04pm PDT. When you try their food you’ll know why Dynasty Seafood Restaurant is an award-winning traditional Chinese seafood restaurant. Come in for their dim sum or ask your server about some stellar seafood creations on the menu."

"A post shared by Bill Addison (@bill_addison) on Dec 7, 2017 at 7:52pm PST. Another exceptional place to get traditional Chinese fare. This West Broadway restaurant is a fantastic spot for Dim Sum as well."

"Dungeness crab, Atlantic lobster and Alaskan king crab are selected with equal care at Landmark Hot Pot, and the accompanying sticky fried rice is the best you’ll ever eat: raw rice is soaked and wok-fried painstakingly slowly, water added little by little until the grains are perfectly toothsome. Overlook the faded ’80s decor: an excellent late-night menu draws visiting Hong Kong celebrities and music stars. 4023 Cambie St., landmarkhotpot.com"

"We are only serving on the patio as per BC Public Health Bylaws. Just off the Vancouver Blaine Highway, Moxie’s restaurant is the effortless choice for a great meal. Moxie’s Richmond is only minutes from the Vancouver International Airport, located at the...Mehr"

"Executive Chef Brandon Thordarson has created tasty dishes to complement our global menu, which is sure to offer something for everyone. Enjoy food alongside their very own Big Life Amber or Euro beers."

"If you find yourself deep in the south, or you’re making a trip to Ikea in Richmond, then this is the spot for you. Nestled inside Northern Building Supply, the Northern Cafe is the most authentic diner on this list. Grab some lumber or hardware, then treat yourself to a burger or some chicken strips before you start your home improvement project."

"A post shared by Jill (@jillonjill) on Jul 26, 2017 at 12:11pm PDT. This hole-in-the-wall diner is definitely one to keep on your radar. It’s literally above a hardware store."

"I guarantee you’ve not been into a coffee shop like this before!. Cafe Portrait is covered and I mean literally covered in, you guessed it, portraits!. All of them hand-painted by one of the owners."
