    Solid recommended ice cream, great adventurous flavors compared to solid competitors like earnest - however what i found a bit contradictory is while having good selection of interesting flavors they don't allow sampling- sounded business favoring vs customer. Tried a a flight of 4 flavors - mango sticky rice (v), hk milk tea, matcha honeycomb and butter sweet corn crunch- all were solid flavors, butter sweet corn and matcha honeycomb were my top Choices. I would imagine milkshake with HK tea would have been also a great choice. It is a small cozy area with mostly bench-like seating inside , some green plants made the ambiance look warmer. It was a polite service vs friendly and warm.

    Lilikoi Cheesecake and Mango Sticky Rice Mini Double Scoop
    Geo N.

    I've heard so many great things about Elephant Garden and I finally got to stop by during my most recent trip to Vancouver! Food: (4/5) I love that they specialize in Asian flavors, especially with mango sticky rice as the one they're known for. My partner and I shared a mini double scoop of that and the lilikoi cheesecake which is seasonal. After trying a handful of mango sticky rice ice creams, I think this one has been the most accurate to the actual dessert. I find that most lean either too coconutty or just have zero rice flavor. This one nailed it and I'm obsessed. As for the lilikoi cheesecake, I found it to be lacking in cheesecake flavor. It really could've passed as a sweet cream with lilikoi swirl. It was still yummy, just can't say it was cheesecake. My partner's cousin got the actual mango sticky rice with the ice cream on top. TOO good. The dense creaminess of the ice cream went so well with the chewy rice and fresh mango pieces. Service: (5/5) Not too much going on here. They're nice and check you out fast. One thing about this spot is that they don't do samples, so make your best judgement off of the flavor names or online reviews.

    lilikoi cheesecake

    I've been coming to elephant garden creamery for quite a few years now. My all time favourite is their mango coconut sticky rice ice cream - dairy free, vegan, and absolutely amazing. However, recently their July rotational flavours really blew my friends and I away, so much that my friends have come 3 times in the last week. Their fresh mango ice cream was absolutely amazing, great flavour and not too sweet. I also really liked the lilikoi cheesecake. Who can resist passion fruit and cheesecake in a creamy ice cream? We decided to also try the float since it already contained a scoop of mango ice cream and it was super yummy! The mango at the bottom mixed perfectly with the sticky rice and coconut and it wasn't too thick despite having all those ingredients and the ice cream. There is some seating inside their cute little store, but due to summer, it can get quite busy on nice days and peak hours. The line up can also get quite hefty so I recommend coming during non peak hours (e.g. weekdays and on rainy/cloudy days) if you don't like to wait.

    Elephant Garden Creamery is currently taking part in the ice cream festival and has their famous mango sticky rice sundae as a part of it!! I came here twice before and both times they were sold out but luckily we were able to get it on a Monday evening! I would 5/5 recommend their sundae!! Their mangos are so fresh. I would also recommend coming early so that they don't sell out.

    Elephant garden creamery always serves bright flavours which are pretty spot on, but they don't allow sampling which is a big disappointment, especially when there are new flavours that I might not know if I want over my go-tos. I also think they lean toward smoother ice creams, but I like the chunks and mix-in toppings. I had the key lime pie blackberry and strawberry panna cotta. They both had the fruit puree rippled into the base. The key lime was nice and tangy with some biscoff crumble! The strawberry panna cotta flavour was light and creamy. The mango sticky rice is usually my go-to and it has the subtle sticky rice flavour. The space is cute and airy with 3 small tables and one long one. There is residential 2H parking along the side streets of Commercial Drive

    Mango and rocky road
    Lily X.

    We went for the new rotational flavors during the ice cream festival. There were so many people lining up outside. Took around half an hour to just go in. There's also no taste sampling allowed. The flavors were good - we got fresh mango and aloha rocky road. The mango one was delicious and tasted like real mango. The rocky road one wasn't spectacular and was more like just normal chocolate ice cream with some chocolate and marshmallow pieces. The place is very clean though and there is seating on the inside. There's a public bathroom on the inside.

    Peach Oolong and Hojicha cloud tea

    My all-time favourite ice cream stops in Vancouver!! They have really fun and unique rotationals that always spark my interest. From their staples, I lean towards HK milk tea and their Vietnamese coffee flavour. This time in Sept I tried their Hojicha Cloud Tea and Peachy Peach Oolong Tea rotational flavours. I loved them both; the hojicha flavour is strong and one I'd get again. Really great location which is close to the skytrain and also nearby a bunch of great restaurants on Commercial Dr. Overall, can't go wrong with Elephant Garden for your next ice cream stop!

    Mini double (mango coconut sticky rice and HK milk tea)
    Laura L.

    No samples but at least that means the light goes fast! I got a mini double which basically means you get the equivalent of one scoops of ice cream but two different flavors. The mango coconut sticky rice did in fact taste like coconut and sticky rice but lacked any mango flavor. The HK milk tea had good tea flavor so I actually thought that one was better!

    The long lines are not without reason. Whenever I go to Elephant Garden, I always do a double scoop. One classic mango sticky rice and a seasonal. This was the lilikoi cheesecake and it was a perfect blend of tart with sweetness.

    Always a favourite when we come to Commercial Drive! Our go to is the vegan mango sticky rice ice cream, amazingly creamy even without dairy with a refreshing coconut mango flavour. I learned they have a mini double option which lets even smaller eaters have a chance at having 2 flavours for dessert, which is amazing. No samples allowed here so be careful about what flavour you choose.

    I visited Elephant garden to try Nomsmag cherry blossom festival limited item. What I got: Sakura Strawberry Matcha Latte Fresh BC strawberry sakura milk, premium matcha, condensed milk chantilly, fresh strawberries, salted cherry blossom. Sakura milk and condensed milk chantilly were good. Cold form was very creamy with plenty of cream on the top. Matcha flavor was a bit weak. I remember I got the same one(or very similar one) last year. Matcha flavor was a bit stronger last year's one. May be, it depends on who made it? Anyway, this place's signature is definitely ice cream, and I should have added ice cream on the top. Their ice cream are always great.

    This place has good ice cream, but it's on the pricey side and doesn't allow samples, which is a bit of a drawback. I do like the decor and the fact that this place is clean and bright. The service could be better. We tried the mango coconut rice, Haw flakes hawthorn horse, iron goddess oolong tea with white peaches, and lavender London fog. The mango coconut rice and the iron goddess oolong tea with white peaches were the standouts and genuinely enjoyable. That said, the portion sizes are quite small for the price, so I'm not sure this is a spot I'd go out of my way to revisit, even if I were in the neighborhood.

    Strawberry matcha latte

    We came bc we saw a video that this place had mango sticky rice with ice cream but we were told It was only sold during their festival In any case we got the mango coconut sticky rice flavor ice cream. When the ice cream hit my tongue, I can taste the mango flavor first and then the coconut flavor hit second . it was so creamy and Delicious ! On the other hand, I was sad about my strawberry matcha. I paid an extra 1.50 for 1 more scoop of matcha bc I don't like a milky matcha drink however the drink itself was rather bland. I think there should be more strawberry puree to aid in the flavor of this drink. Otherwise staff was pretty friendly and parking was paid street parking

    I had such an amazing experience at Yuan Coffee. It is so rare to find a coffee shop that not only…read moreimports beans roasted in Asia, but also roasts their own beans in-house. You can really tell how intentional they are with their sourcing, roasting, and brewing. I knew I had to try something made from their gorgeous vintage hand-lever espresso machine, and it absolutely lived up to the experience. I had a cortado with beautiful notes of jasmine and stone fruit, and then took a Geisha drip coffee to go. Both were delicate, clean, and incredibly well-balanced. The baristas were also so knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. They took the time to walk me through their beans and helped me choose something that matched what I was looking for. It felt thoughtful without being pretentious, which I really appreciated. They seem to specialize in lighter roasts, which can be difficult to execute well, especially as espresso. It is easy for light roast espresso to come across too sharp, sour, or overly intense, but Yuan's coffee was nuanced, floral, and smooth. You can tell there is a lot of skill behind the bar. This place truly feels like a treasure and a local gem. I am honestly shocked more people are not frequenting it. If you appreciate specialty coffee, beautiful equipment, and baristas who really know their craft, Yuan Coffee is absolutely worth visiting.

We preferred reading about the flavor notes but the barista was able to walk us through the ones we asked about. Pretty good memory! It goes to show how serious about their craft too.
