The location is great and easily accessible, surrounded by plenty of shops, cafés, and restaurants. It wasn't crowded when we visited, making it a nice stop during our walk around town. They offer quite a variety of flavors. We decided to try the jalapeño flavor and Ferrero Rocher. The Ferrero Rocher was decent, but not particularly memorable. The jalapeño flavor was definitely unique--it started off surprisingly good, but the spice kept building with every bite and became quite intense by the end. While the flavors we tried didn't completely wow us, I appreciate that they offer some creative and different options. Given how popular the place is and its convenient downtown location, it's definitely worth stopping by and trying a flavor that catches your eye. Overall, a good ice cream spot with plenty of choices, friendly service, and a great location.

That's right, people, not one or two or three flavors, but SIX vegan flavors. I ended up getting the rose water gelato with a peach swirl in a waffle cone (also vegan!!!) and it was delightfully creamy, fruity, and delicious. My hubs got the vegan Turkish coffee with cardamom (incredibly good) and the lemon almond (like lemon ice cream meeting amaretto) in a waffle cone and loved it. The service was friendly and fast too. We ate on a bench outside on a hot evening and the gelato cooled us down and brought a smile to our faces. Highly recommended!

The location is fantastic--right across from the water, making it a great place to grab a bite and enjoy the views. What I liked most was that they offer much more than just ice cream. There were plenty of food options, including salads, pastries, and sandwiches. We initially came for the ice cream and ended up trying a few other things as well. The ice cream had some unique flavors, and I chose one with caramel, which I really enjoyed. The scoop size was very generous, and the staff member helping us was incredibly sweet and friendly. We also tried a pesto salad, which was fresh and tasty. I had a sparkling wine as well, though I can't really judge it fairly since I'm not much of a wine drinker. Overall, this is a great spot for food, desserts, and waterfront views. I'd especially recommend grabbing something to go and enjoying it by the water during sunset. Definitely a place I'd visit again.

The service was incredibly kind and attentive, and the coffee was great. That said, the food fell short for us. The Hangover Cure was essentially a large bowl of potato wedges...not quite what we expected from the name. The taco salad had a beautiful presentation, but didn't fully deliver on flavor. The chilaquiles were basically dry nachos with very little sauce, and didn't capture the richness or texture I usually associate with the dish. We also ordered the breakfast burger without bacon, and were surprised to find there wasn't any sort of patty or protein substitute...it was just eggs and veggies. It would've been helpful if that had been made clear when ordering. Overall, I really wanted to love this spot because the energy and staff were lovely, but the food didn't quite match the atmosphere. Still worth checking out for coffee, snacks, and the fun shop section!

I love froyo and can eat it anytime, so decided to get it as a snack. They offer not just froyo but ice cream, milk shakes, smoothies, and milk tea as well. The selection is pretty good for a one-woman shop! For the froyo, they mix in fresh fruit. After choosing the size and container type, you can then choose up to two types of fruit to mix in as well as any additional toppings you want. I got a kids size in a regular cone with peach and mango and paid about $6. They had it ready for me super quickly. The froyo wasn't as tart as I prefer, but I could taste both fruits. I also appreciated that it wasn't too sweet. My friend tried a bite and enjoyed it as well.

We decided to get a mango and a mixed berry frozen yogurt. I was expecting a sweet pre made froyo but to my surprise and delight, they make it fresh in front of your eyes. I saw the berries that went in and the bar of yoghurt which the machine churned out. It had authentic flavors and was not overtly sweet either because the flavors came from the actual fruit vs sugar. I would definitely recommend trying them once if you are in West Van especially if you don't like the sweetness of mass produced frozen yoghurt

You can find this place by looking for the big cow outside the front entrance. COWS is a local ice cream shop using PEI milk, and they've been making ice cream for over 40 years. Since we had kids, we were stuck with chocolate ice cream, but it was a great texture, not too sweet. 2 scoops is only $2 more than 1 scoop, so you have to get a double! The waffle cones are also made in house. You can get pints to go (freezer bags available), and the store also has lots of cows merchandise, which is fun!
