The carrot cake pieces were moist and plenty and really made it decadent; tasted exactly like a good ol' spiced cake! While I did find the mini eggs flavour a tad on the sweet end, I could still appreciate the creamy base. Will be back to try more flavours

It looks like their flavors change regularly, and you can sample a few before deciding. We tried the Whiskey Hazelnut and Cookies & Cream. You can choose between a cone or a cup. The ice cream was good -- not too sweet, creamy, and smooth. I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had, but it definitely wasn't bad. Prices are pretty reasonable, with a scoop around $6. I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't already!

We stopped by Soft Peaks in Gastown for a quick dessert and found it to be an easy, no-wait kind of…read morestop. From my visit, it's more of a grab-and-go spot than somewhere to linger. I ordered the Original Peak, with a twist of vanilla and dark chocolate with cereal at the bottom. The first thing that stood out was the airy and fluffy texture, almost lighter than traditional soft serve. The dark chocolate brought a mild cocoa note, while the cereal added a crunchy, slightly nostalgic contrast at the base. That said, I expected the vanilla to have more of a rich, milky flavor. This is not the place for plain vanilla; it's the combinations (think honeycomb, matcha, or seasonal specials) that bring the experience to life. Based on the shop's concept, Soft Peaks is known for using local organic milk and keeping sweetness restrained, which tracks with that lighter, less sugary profile. Adding something like cereal or crunchy toppings makes a big difference. If you're a vanilla purist looking for a strong dairy note, this might feel a bit subtle.

This is a window for Japanese-style crepes and soft serve ice cream attached to Konbiniya. The…read morequality of the ice cream itself is okay - the texture is good, but the flavour is a little weak. When getting the matcha ice cream, I suggest getting straight matcha instead of the twist with vanilla because the vanilla washes out the matcha; it comes through better on its own. The sundaes are fun and a good, more affordable alternative to the similar parfaits at high end matcha cafes. I tried the tuna egg salad crepe and thought it was actually really good! The crepe was fresh and tender, there was a healthy amount of filling, and the tuna salad was actually mostly tuna with just enough mayo to hold it together which is how I prefer it. Again, the service is just through a window - you actually order at an electronic kiosk and the only interaction with a person is when your order is ready. There are two small tables outside if you want to eat there. During the busy summer season, it's very difficult to actually secure one of these tables, but there's other seating on the pedestrian streets just a few blocks away on Robson.

Each patron can have two tastes, and they have some wonderful flavor options (I almost couldn't choose). Seating wise inside there are three tables and a three seat bar, and outside they have an uncovered parklet. Overall, I loved their flavors and I absolutely wish they existed in California!

Located in a random spot? Check. Only one staff member working? Check. We've been a couple times and I have yet to see it busy. A few people pop in but no one ever lingers. Most likely because there's no seating. There's also a sign on the counter stating you can only sample 2 flavours during peak hours. There's usually 10 to 12 flavours to choose from; always something unique and interesting. They also have sundaes, ice cream sandwiches and doughnuts on the menu. - Mango raspberry swirl and London fog ($7.00 double) - waffle cone is included and it was better than expected. The ice cream itself tastes a bit denser but still has a creamy satisfying texture. The London fog was fantastic! The mango raspberry was more mango than raspberry but also quite good. - London fog ($5.00 single) - came back on a Monday and they only had four flavours that day. We went with the London fog; just as good as the last time. - Dark chocolate and black sesame with honey ($7.00 double) - the dark chocolate tasted like a fudgesicle but better. Not too sweet and hefty; it was so heavy it almost fell off the cone! The black sesame was delicious. Not quite like the ones we had in Japan but tasty and flavourful. I'll be back again and again! Love the laid back, no frills vibe at Rooster's. One of our favourite ice cream spots!

Last week they want to charge me $.20 per bag - really, and at the point of purchase! What a fantastic marketing campaign by Purdy's. They actually charge you $.20 to walk around and advertise their company free of charge. I feel gouged and disrespected, my loyalty especially. Purdy's I'm extremely disappointed and feel it's a BAD marketing move when you are nickel and dime your faithful clients. You've lost a very faithful customer. I will no longer be supporting you.
