The atmosphere is super cute! And the person scooping the ice cream was pleasant and helpful. You can choose an ice cream base and get toppings mashed in. So, you get to make your own flavor or go with one of the chosen blends. I got taro ice cream with coconut flakes and almond slivers. The ice cream was just fine. Not terrible but not transcendent. It was a bit on the firmer side, not as creamy as I like. The star of the show was the dipped waffle cone. Which was white chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. If you are in the mood for ice cream, this will do! read more

Yum yum yum. The flavors they have on display are nothing like special. Some of the coloring also seemed off. Like bubblegum flavor. It was so bright blue. Yes, I do know that bubblegum is not a natural flavor. The brightness just puts me off. The other flavors were good. They are known for their mixing ice cream. Basically you order whatever ice cream you want, the size and the mixes you want in your ice cream. They will assemble the rest for you. Good thing here is that mixes are unlimited. B and I ended up getting a banana split to share. It was super tasty. We had them throw in nerds and skors on top of the ice cream. Love skors as toppings. Decor is ok here. This Marble Slab Creamery has been around for a long time. It is always busy. The reason is because of the reasonable price and the good ice cream. It was interesting how the ice cream flavor label is on one side and not the other. The staff had some trouble finding the flavor. That was ok with me. I wasn't in rush of time. Seating is somewhat limited. In the summertime, most people just buy and go across to English Bay. Great ice cream. read more

The cone is super stale. The Asian "manager" in the glasses is extremely rude. I hope he can do a better job because the service is alarming. read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

In general, I LOVE sweet and fruity ice cream with real fruit and marble slab creamery makes them perfectly every time. I've been to the marble slab creamery a few times now and I've never been disappointed by their ice cream. On this visit, I tried their raspberry cheesecake ice cream. It tasted delicious and refreshing. I added some nuts as a topping for added crunchy texture and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The waffle cone it comes with is also very good and perfectly complements their ice cream. My friend ordered a birthday cake flavored ice cream with sprinkles on top and also liked it a lot. The original price of their ice cream is kinda expensive but i had a BOGO free entertainment coupon which made the price a lot more reasonable. They accepted the coupon without any problems. I was able to order my 2 ice creams without problems. Small note but the staff lady working there at the time was moving a little too fast and I felt a little rushed when picking my toppings. I was the only customer in the store by the way. It wasn't a big deal but I had never seen a person move so fast there. Anyway, I have to give this location a solid 5 out of 5 stars because of their delicious ice cream and the fact that I got a good deal on this visit with the coupon. read more

Hands down, one of the best businesses to have in the Westend of Vancouver! I called last minute to get a large number of ice cream sandwiches, and had the pleasure of speaking directly with the manager Yen, who is efficient, friendly and accommodating at an extremely busy time for them (Celebration of Lights)they also carried the heavy box to my vehicle with a crowd in the streets. Marble Slab has a fabulous team working for them on Denman and HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone to try their Ice Cream Sandwiches... too many to mention. Thank you Marble Slab!!! read more

This ice cream/yogurt shop is similar to Coldstone's Creamery, but they don't charge for every mix-in. You pick a size, flavor, and as many mix ins as you want. Then they mix it all together and you can either get it in a cup, waffle cone, or even a chocolate dipped cone. The great thing is that it's all one price. It's not the best ice cream I've had, but when you're at the beach across the street and want a sweet treat, this would suffice. read more

Good texture to their ice cream - rich but not overly creamy. I like the concept of them mixing two flavors + toppings together for you. But most flavors were too sweet. The only flavor I really liked was blueberry, which had a nice tart flavor. The vanilla, red velvet, green tea, and black cherry all tasted very artificial and overly sweetened. read more

Great location. Great ice cream. I'm sad they did not have walnuts and my favorite nuts at this store. All together it was delicious. Enough said the location is right by the beach. Good experience. read more

This place is a disaster! They are lucky they are in a prime location. They have nothing in stock. They are always out of everything. The employee helping me didn't even know what mint chocolate chip was!! Lol They ran out of stamp cards and my cone looked like a mess. I felt ripped off. Thier system makes no sense if you are paying for someone else. I will never come back here...Mcdonalds is across the street...i'll survive. read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Icecream! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The spot of choice, on the corner of Denman and Davie, facing English Bay, for an ice cream shop, you cannot ask for a better location. There are many other Marble Slab's in the city, but this one just stands out due to location and the excessive line-ups I have been a part of the times I have been here. The creations made at this place may look 'icky' as they are smushed up on that cold slab with two metal spoons, but that costly dessert that you are paying for is quite delicious once it hits your mouth. For ice cream, and a twist to the norm, this place does it right, they let you try the flavors of the ice cream they have, and you proceed down a line up like you were at 'Subway' making a sandwich, but instead you are getting to a sweet treat. Not much sitting inside this place, as the 'bar' and the fridges take up most of the area. There are a couple seats at the window facing out, so that you can do your people watching, and some seats outside. Just know that the beach is really a 'stone's throw away' and that most of the day and night are busy. If you are driving down here, good luck on the parking. But if you are strolling around the area, and your looking for a cold fix, come on in, and if you haven't tried it, be prepared, this thing is going to fill you up. read more

This is a nice ice cream shop. Their offerings are good and delicious. They have a variety of flavors and cones and you can put unlimited toppings. They mix everything in front of you and you can add whatever you want, as long as it is available. It is definitely a place I would go back to for my summer ice cream cravings. read more

Was good, but not mind blowing-- reminded me of Coldstone Creamery. There was a nice variety of ice cream flavors and topping options--no whip cream when I went. read more

Absolutely the worst ice cream I have had! We hadn't been there in a while and thought we could use a treat. The ice cream was awful (I wanted to use a bad word here), the cone was TERRIBLE!! How can you mess up a cone??? Don't do it, go to Favoris they are cheaper and better!!! read more

Decent amount of ice cream flavors and toppings and cones. If you order from their options they look nothing like the pictures. But it's worth the price since it's not pricey. read more

Long lineups be damned, this ice cream is worth it! So. creamy. must. not. walk. in. Too late, it happened. It always does. Best, best, BEST ice cream around. Or ever, actually. Yes, best ice cream ever. Sprinkles, Reeces Pieces, Oreo, nuts, chocolate chunks, all real, all delicious and all send happy endorphins to my brain. Catch me soon enough post-consumption and I may even buy you one too! Happy eating, folks. I'm going back for more. Wait, that counts as exercise, right? read more

WHY is this ice-cream so effing incredible? I first had Marble Slab in Victoria, so imagine my delight when I found this sucker in English Bay. I saw the line and was not swayed. No Sir, not one bit. I knew what was in there. There's gold in them thar freezers. This is probably the best ice cream I've ever had, I'm not gonna lie. I've had a lot of it too. This place really is the best of all possible concoctions - I love cheesecake - bam, presto, cheesecake ice cream! I love candy of all kinds - hell to the yes we can give you cheesecake ice cream WITH score bits and hot fudge. And I love smashing things - while you don't actually get to do it yourself, it is very satisfying to watch. In short, everything about this place is genius. Genius! And you are a damned fool if you don't give it a try. Let your inner fat kid out to play - you won't be sorry ;) read more

Hahaha I love reading the bad reviews for this place: Now we know who the stupid people are! I'm a bit lactose-intollerant, but hell, I'll risk acne and an hour in the bathroom for wonderful icecream! I liked the peanut butter icecream, but little by little, it disappeared. Oh well, there's still a bajillion more combos of icecream. All delicious! Bonus points for homemade waffle cones! The people comparing it to DQ are nuts. Marble Slab lords over it's counterpart. read more

I biked the seawall on the one sunny day we have had so far this YEAR, and I worked myself up an appetite for ice cream. After hearing many good things about Marble Slab, I figured it was high time I checked it out. The lineup was all the way outside of the store and them some, and I can only imagine it gets even more redinkulous as the weather gets better. I tied up my little pooch to the railing, and took my place in line. I'm not sure the wait was worth it, since a small ice cream costs up to $7, that's if you get a regular waffle cone. However, if you get a fancy cone it's at least a dollar more. So if you are having ice cream for dinner, like I did, you might as well make it worth your while. So not only am I wasting my precious time from the sun (which is important because the sun is a rare commodity in Vancouver) but I am also wasting those hard earned dollars I barely make after the government squeezes most of it out of me. I had the cookie dough drizzle, which is probably just as fattening and delicious as it sounds. I have discovered the reasoning behind the slow moving line. They are weighing the ice cream before throwing it on a slab to add toppings to it. Seriously? You have to weigh my ice cream? What the hell kind of ice cream nazi runs this place? I understand quality control and all, but this is the FIRST ice cream shop I have EVER been to where they weigh your ice cream before they give it to you. Get fucking serious. On the plus, they do give out frequent customer cards, which eases the pain of the whole experience a little. I doubt most of the people that get the cards ever fill them up - due to the lack of good weather, thus the lack of need for cold snacks, versus the high visitation of tourists in the area. You better believe I am going to fill up that card this summer just so I can get a free ice cream. The only thing that will need weighing by the end of summer will be my fat ass! Also, after getting my ice cream cone, and departing for the long walk home, with the cone in one hand and the dog leash in the other, the dog decides to mark some territory on the way home, and there I am stuck trying to pick up one thing without letting the dog lick my cone, or having it fall on the ground. Have you ever tried to poop scoop with one hand? It's harder than you think, this was obviously his way of getting back at me for leaving him tied up for so long. Damn dog. read more

At around 5:45PM on December 1st 2012. My boyfriend and I walked by [this] store and glanced inside. We thought it was closed. The sign with all the times clearly stated that it was open late, but it said 'Closed'. We peered inside, all the lights were on and the sandwich board was outside. So, we pulled on the handle and walked in. No staff was in sight at all. We even tried to peer in to the backroom and couldn't see anyone. We stood inside, stared at the flavours for a few minutes ---waiting for someone, anyone to show up----but we just walked out. What an awful experience! Not sure if I would ever return. read more

Do you scream for ice cream? If you do, you will love the Marble Slab. They have a great selection of "base flavors" (I highly recommend the cheesecake flavor, it is delicious), and from there you pick your "additives." Then one of the friend staff members mashes it all up, and you pick cup or cone. They have fancy waffle cones as well if you really want to go all out. This place is great for random, but specific, ice cream cravings. Warning to husbands of expectant mothers - write down orders! read more

Mmm mmm good! Stopped in here with friends, craving ice cream, while in the West End. It was late on a Friday night and it was busy. We were a large group but the staff were still polite and patient with us. I loved that you only pay one price (for the size you want) and you can have as many toppings as you want (unlike other places that charge extra for toppings or weight). I got a small Irish Cream ice cream with oreos, chocolate, cookie dough, and fudge. The girl who put together my cone kept asking me if I wanted anything else in it, which I appreciated. Less than $12 for two small waffle cones with unlimited toppings. Not bad! read more

Who doesn't like a customized ice-cream on a warm sunny day? I'm always tempted to go in for a cup of icecream when i'm in the area!!! There is typically a line up out the door at this location - especially in the summer! I love getting the Double Chocolate / Chocolate Hazelnut Icecream mixed with Crispy Crunch! YUM!!! But it seems that they have gotten rid of the Crispy Crunch in the last few months .... WHY?!?!?!? Please bring it back!! oh! quick tip! you can mix 2 icecream flavours together if you order a Medium or Large Cone/Cup! They also have a few different waffle bowls/cones to choose from - from the original, to the chocolate / candy-dipped waffles! They make all their waffle cones and bowls in house! YUM! read more

*drool* It's a good thing I don't walk by this place more often... or I'd certainly become a regular. read more

I am shocked and appalled by the bad reviews that seem to being coming in...I think people just need to relax and take in the experience and not get overwhelmed with all the choices..RELAX people..it;s ice cream...it;s fun.. Anyway...I had to update my review because I had another great experience..My partner had his birthday recently and all we wanted was an ice cream cake from Marble Slab,..I called to order and ask all the details..the lady on the phone was super helpful and made it a snap...you pick the ice cream base you want and as many fixin's you want..I went with the birthday cake ice cream with oreo and cookie dough....the cake for 8 people only cost $30 and was ready in a day. They wrote a personal message on the top and had it all boxed and ready to go by the time I got there..in and out..painless..and delicious! read more

This place can be an absolute clusterfuck when it is busy. They could really do with some streamlining of the process. I think I was served by a total of five people none of whom seemed to realise I had just given my order. With some terrible signage as well I think I saw two or three tourists heads explode trying to figure out how it all worked. Aside from that though how can you not love ice cream on a sunny day. The banana caramel with fresh banana was pretty damn tasty and I also devoured my raspberry cheesecake with not too much effort. read more

The ice cream they server in the store is amazing, but don't get an ice cream "cake". I don't know why they call them cakes--they're just ice cream shaped like a cake. My fiancé got me a Reese's peanut butter cake for my birthday. It was just a handful of crushed Reese's cups on top of awful chocolate ice cream, and I think they didn't even use Marble slab ice cream. We were extremely disappointed and will surely not chance buying another one. We'll still go for ice cream at the counter though. read more

Not worth the money. Just go get a snickers bar (or oreo's or cookie dough) and mash it with some ice cream you like. + open till midnight read more

Woohoo! this IS as good as it gets. I get extremely excited when I discover that I might have the possibility of eating some of their delicious ice cream. I know I am a bit of an experience whore and half the fun for me is what is happening in my surroundings. Well this place delivers for sure. I like that I get to pick my own ice cream, pick my own mixings, and then watch them blend it together on their frozen marble slab. My recipe for success is: Birthday cake ice cream + cookie dough = DELICIOUS! hey speaking of birthdays... I think I can't wait to get my cake from here... read more

It's ice-cream beaten to a pulp, with sprinkles... I haven't seen this place at its best, but I've been by a few times for some ice-cream. So far so good. Pick a smooth flavour and a crunchy topping and you are set! The location is pretty much perfect in summer time. I've seen the crowds! Holy! The staff are a little... less perky than I expected. But, seriously, who cares! They're beating up ice-cream and then serving it to you on a cone. I don't care if they're prancing or dragging, as long as I get my ice-cream. On that note, RAINBOW SPRINKLES!!! Now, in winter time, you'd still see the odd ice-cream fiend trudging through rain and snow for an ice-cream cone. Hi! read more

It looks a little like an overdone corporate Coldstone knock-off upon first glance, but I assure you it's very good. I stopped in several times and the employees were always friendly (the owner works here and is really sweet). Plus they give you as many samples as you need (there are lots of options!), which is good news given the nearby Gelato place limits you to 3 samples for a 2-scoop cone-- what the heck??? I have to like 2 out of 3 things??? Not possible. Ok, I digress. Tons of mix-ins! I always get raspberry mix-in (good with the dark chocolate). And the waffle bowls!! How fresh! How crisp and tasty!!! I need to live closer to this place so I can get ice cream all the time!! YUM! It's happily right next to the beach, so get some ice cream and take a stroll! You wont be disappointed! read more

Decent value for money. I recall coming here a while ago and spending about $7-8 for a cone with more charges for mixins. For $6 and unlimited mixins, that seemed fair for me. While the quality is not superb like your rain and shine/Ernest's of the world, it is still much better than traditional grocery bought ice creams. My favourite is the birthday cake. It actually tastes like cake! read more

Marble Slab Creamery - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My waffle bowl today was very stale. Not surprising as a bunch of them sat premade, out in the open, and uncovered. I don't know if the heavy chocolate dipping process adds to this, but the undipped parts were stale as well. I ended up not finishing the bowl, shame as with it my ice cream came to almost $10. And a stale, unsatisfying product was not worth the most expensive ice cream I have ever had. As for the staff and service, the place was empty on a rainy late evening. Two staff members were professionally dressed and jumped at the prospect of helping customers. The owner of the franchise on the other hand, was dressed for a sporting event and only addressed us when it came time to pay. Though I don't really expect much for an ice cream parlor, so I let it slide. Would I come back? Absolutely! I love ice cream when its vanilla based, and I can add whatever I like to it. With all their options they are sure to be able to meet any of my cravings. And having it mixed on the spot ensures its "the freshest ice cream in the world", or so they claim it to be. Would I recommend it? - Yes. Not only do they serve delicious ice cream. But with a fridge of ready to go goodies you can take their ice cream home in buckets. Cakes for birthdays, or get a mini personal sized one because you are worth it. And if you want waffle bowls to go, grab a set of 6 cupcakes in a variety of flavours from raspberry chocolate fudge to peanut butter brittle. Here you will have all your ice cream needs met and satisfied. Don't deny your craving on this one. Especially as a great way to beat the upcoming heat, by the beach. read more

The best ice cream ever! After biking the sea wall, this is a real treat! The best is the raspberry cheesecake + gram crackers. There is usually a line up but it's worth it. Try the raspberry cheesecake you won't be disappointed :) read more

I had an Entertainment coupon for buy one get one free. I showed it to the the woman making my ice cream, as I hadn't used it there before. We only got two because of the coupon. After preparing both, the woman said the coupon was only good for the North Van location. I can't stand when stores do that. It did say that on the coupon, but if I ran the biz, I'd tell my employers to give customers the benefit of the doubt. I'd offer the discount. It cost us just over $14 for two cones of ice cream. Wayyyyy to expensive. And the ice cream isn't that good. The flavours don't taste like what you'd expect them to taste like. read more

Great pit stop for an ice cream pick me up. Servings are generous and flavor options adequate. Ample seating. Service is ok. Place is clean and well lite. read more

For ice-cream lovers, Marble Slab Creamery is as good as it gets. With its traditional pink and white striped awning and glass jars of candy, walking into Marble Slab really makes you feel like you're walking into an old-fashioned ice-cream shop... and the ice-cream isn't bad either! For those looking for their ice-cream fix, you can either select tasty combinations that the experts at Marble Slab have already cooked up off a menu on the wall, or you can go ahead and select your favorite flavor of ice-cream and then your favorite candy topping to be mixed into it. Marble Slab always has the traditional ice-cream flavors, like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but they also have some original ones that might make your mouth water too. My favorite has to be Birthday Cake. This ice-cream tastes similar to vanilla icing over vanilla cake. It's truly to die for. Toppings you can choose from include candies like gummy bears, M&Ms, and chocolate bars, as well as graham crackers, nuts and fresh fruit. Once you've chosen both your ice-cream and topping, they pound the two together on - you guessed it - a cold slab of marble, and then it's served to you in your choice of cone or cup! If you're not in the mood for a tasty scoop of ice-cream, the Marble Slab Creamery also serves up nonfat frozen yogurt, Banana Splits, milkshakes, malts and floats, fudge brownies, cookies and apple pie... should I go on? While a scoop of ice-cream might seem a little on the pricey side here (around $4), they definitely give you a very generous portion, and it's probably not something you could eat everyday... or at least you shouldn't! So next time you're craving some ice-cream, forgo the usual gelato or Dairy Queen variety, and head on down to Marble Slab on Denman to cool down. read more

Ice cream is great and tons of options - but if you're going to be working during a rush, don't give attitude. Worker overcharged and then give attitude when I asked for a refund... I love the ice cream here but the service from certain staff really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Please fix this! read more

Ordered an ice cream cup with mix in through Uber Eats. Easily one of the best Uber Eats order. When the ice cream arrived, it was still fairly cold but it was delicious and a nice finish to a meal. The mix-ins was liberally added and tasty. Well worth the $7 ice cream delivery. read more

At my office we order cakes for every body's birthday and recently we ordered an ice cream cake from here. I have never tried Marble Slab's ice cream so I was looking forward to getting a little taste, just enough to whet my palate. Ordering was a breeze. I was able to order by phone, pay with the company credit card over the phone and confirm they deliver for a nominal price of $10. In all my arranging of catering services, deliveries of cakes etc., this was the easiest. As well, when I asked for it to be delivered between 11:45am and Noon, they actually delivered between that time. When it came time to cut into the Caramel Peanut Butter Crisp cake, I was in heaven and the whole office couldn't get enough. Luckily I am on a strict eating regimen so I used all the self control I could muster to stop myself from taking a big chunk and instead took the tiniest sliver but let me tell you, this was fantabulously delish! read more
