I've been coming to rain or shine for years but this is the first time I've ordered their ice cream cake. You can mix and match flavors and we did blueberry balsamic with toffee on top. Sweet and salty. Definitely will look forward to ordering again in the future

Always great ice cream. I wish there single scoop was just a little more considering it's 9$ for single scoop waffle cone

I got the roasted strawberry and blueberry lemon curd ice cream. Although it was tasty the strawberry basically tasted like regular strawberry ice cream. I really enjoyed the blueberry lemon curd ice cream. The lemon curd almost made it feel like it was custardy or cheesecakey I also sampled the black current lemon lime sorbet. However, I couldn't taste any hint of black current. lt tasted mostly of citrus.

4 scoop sampler (Clockwise from 9 o'clock): London fog, black currant lemon lime sorbet, cracked mint, roasted strawberry
Jeremy L.

Outstanding flavors! The 4 scoop sampler was nice to try and share. Here are our flavor experiences. London Fog (5): Wonderful tea flavor! Light. Black currant lemon lime sorbet (3): Some liked it, some did not. The black currant and lemon is very tart and strong... which I like. Others felt it was too strong. Cracked Mint (5): Yes! I love mint so this was a no brainer for me. Pair that with dark chocolate shavings. Delicious! Roasted Strawberry (5): Another winner. Subtle roasted flavor, but we felt subtle was perfect with this. Natural strawberry flavor. Very good. Honey Lavender (5): another subtlety but done well. Nothing overpowering but lavender was present and had a nice essence to it. Overall, we loved this place!

Rain or Shine is one of my favorite ice cream places ever. I love their classic flavors and I always like seeing the seasonal flavors! My go-to is the Malted Milk Chocolate Honeycomb; it's a great chocolate flavor and the crunchy bits of honeycomb are delightful. I think the sizes here are also really great; would recommend at any time of the year, in any weather!

Rain or Shine Ice Cream on 3382 Cambie Street We have a nickname for this expensive dessert restaurant: " Rain and Shine Ice Cream " as this is a fact that we are living in Raincouver that there's no stopping for their loyal customers to go out to enjoy this adorable dessert after lunch and dinner. Remark #1 Service is good, hardly have any complaints even having a long line up. Difficult to recommend which one is my favourite goody's. I could stay overnight to try all of their products! Remark #1. Few times with heavy snow and black "Shine" ice on the road

Malted Milk Chocolate Honeycomb and Winter Hike - creamy, tasty, would highly recommend! IG - @bilalandjesseatfood

We checked out Rain or Shine after dinner one night and absolutely loved it! The ice cream was creamy, flavorful, and full of mix ins. So many to choose from as well! Service was friendly and prompt. It was a lively environment as well - fun place to enjoy an after dinner treat. Also, we went on a rainy night, so I can confirm that that are open Rain or Shine! Highly recommend!

Coffee toffee
Mia Z.

Rain or Shine Ice Cream in Vancouver is honestly the vibe. You get two samples each before ordering and the staff was super patient while I took forever deciding. Tried a bunch of flavors over a few visits and tbh the coffee toffee is the move. Service: 10/10 (free samples) Seating: 8/10 (can get crowded) Food: 9/10 (coffee toffee ice cream) Drinks: 10/10 (free water)

1 scoop of the seasonal flavor PB&J and 1 scoop malted milk chocolate
Adam C.

Stop reading and go get some of this ice cream asap! I give Rain or Shine 10/10 tasty spoonfuls Ok if you still want to read a review, mom got the Key Lime Pie and loved it. I tried a bite and good lord, tastes exactly like key lime pie. I got a single scoop of the PB&J and the malted milk chocolate. The PB&J is without the doubt the best ice cream I've ever eaten. Of course I'm a HUGE peanut butter lover so having PB as the base for the ice cream was heaven. The malted milk chocolate was also SOO GOOD but it was definitely sweeter compared to the PB&J so keep that in mind because it could give you a sweetness overload stomach ache. Definitely need to try this place out of you haven't. I promise you'll be glad you did. And then you'll want to come back again.

Two scoops of London fog and coffee toffee on top
Ellen V.

I see why there's such a long line one hour before closing! We found this spot randomly and saw it was close by so decided to try it. They have seasonal summer flavors and allow you to try two samples. I ordered the London fog and coffee toffee and both were so good!! Perfectly blended coffee with small chucks of toffee. The London fog was creamy and had that early gray flavor mixed well with vanilla.

Always had a good experience at this place! The service is always fast, they always allow for taste testing, never fail to amaze you with new flavours and no matter how long the line is, you are never waiting for longer than 15mins. This time I got tried their blackberry goat cheese flavour and their passion fruit ale flavour. Both are seasonal and both are amazing! I initially wanted to try both these flavours just because they sounded fun, didn't think I would end up getting it!! But they were both so delicious!! The goat cheese added extra creaminess to the ice cream and complimented the blackberry so well. Even the passion fruit ale was refreshing and did taste like ale in an ice cream!!! Would highly recommend both those flavours for this summer.

Egg hunt
Tammy B.

Egg hunt 10/10- Cadbury eggs mixed in milk chocolate icecream, this was absolutely delicious and a limited edition seasonal flavor. There were lots of Cadbury eggs mixed into the icecream. The milk chocolate icecream base sweetness wasn't too intense which was nice. The waffle cone itself was pretty mid (wasn't fresh or hot, however we did get this late) but the icecream itself was phenomenal Chocolate malted honeycomb 9.47/10- this icecream was really good, not a huge fan of malted chocolate favor but they did this really well. The honeycomb pieces were covered in dark chocolate and huge, it added a lot of flavor. I felt like the pieces of honeycomb were a bit too big because sometimes you'd try having it with the icecream but it was too much. Also felt like this icecream was a bit too sweet. Still superb but I definitely liked the egg hunt one more This icecream place has a lot of really cool flavors and all are pretty tasty. Highly recommend! They have flights for a good price in which you can try 4 different flavors.

Bomber Passionfruit Ale & Lemon Blueberry
Dana S.

Good ice cream. They have really interesting monthly flavours and the regular flavours are also iconic. They have a vegan chocolate peanut on regularly, and 1 or 2 of the monthly specials are usually vegan. Compared to competitors, their ice cream isn't as creamy, particularly the vegan flavours, but it's still pretty good ice cream. Even though I prefer the texture of other ice cream like Earnest or Elephant Garden, I sometimes like Rain or Shine's flavour options better, and so I go to all of them regularly. The thing that I think Rain or Shine does better than anyone is actually the waffle cone, which is thick, almost like a cookie, and always fresh. It's a very substantial cone so my favourite way to enjoy the cone is actually in taco form on Taco Tuesday, where you can get a "taco" sundae with 2 scoops and a topping on a waffle cone taco shell which seems a little smaller than the waffle used for the regular cone. Another notable advantage of going to Rain or Shine over Earnest is that the lineup is never as long! I have all but abandoned eating dairy ice cream since there's very little reason to in my mind when there are so many good vegan options, so I was extra excited to see they have a vegan version of their matcha on this month, and not just plain but with strawberry for extra fun! The matcha is the real deal!

My boyfriend and I happened upon this artisan ice cream shop in Yaletown and we were impressed. We…read moretried the dark chocolate (magnificent) and the matcha (more subtle and for the true pure matcha flavor lover) ice creams and enjoyed seeing the folks there make our ice cream from scratch using liquid nitrogen. The folks working there were kind and professional. They looked like wickedly good witches as they added natural ingredients to their metal cauldrons, and then added the liquid nitrogen, creating a rapidly rising fog. So, really, you are getting ice cream and a show! The concoctions emerged as super smooth, not too sweet, distinct fresh flavorful ice cream. It is a small shop with limited seating, so not likely to be a comfie sit down experience for you given how popular the place is, but it is easy food to take to go and a very nice area for a stroll. So, that's the scoop! ;)

I can't really tell if this is good ice cream or is it more just a gimmick. Like I saw the line…read moreoutside and I was craving something sweet so me and my group each got something different. We tried the ice cream sandwich, the creme brulee cup, and the s'mores bar. I would say everything was good, but probably not something we would get again. After a while it just got a little too sweet and the portion was a little big so we didn't finish most of it. The next time I go if I ever go again I would just get one thing and share it because a bite or two is probably all you need to satisfy your sweet craving.

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.

A small dessert section attached to the Konbiniya Japan Centre. We ordered a Matcha Parfait ($8.46…read moreUSD) and shared it among three people! Liked how the parfait has different toppings throughout and the cereal added great texture. Green tea flavor was also good and I liked how it was not too bitter, which sometimes happens with matcha desserts.

Rooster's Ice Cream is not your typical ice cream spot. It almost seems like it's the complete…read moreopposite to the ice cream giants in town (Earnest and Rain or Shine) on purpose; I dig it. 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!

Very odd location and no seating unless you count place mats along the bench against the wall…read more Would be great if there were a couple tables at least outside. Ambiance resembles like a really old former laundry mat. Quality of ice cream is there. However, cookies and donuts were sold out so no sandwiches available for the ice cream. Pretty decent scoop. I am not sure if I would come back... I prefer seating with my ice cream.

It's much smaller than the other location, especially in the kitchen, but very quaint! The server/cashier/barista/chef was very kind. This location must be a tough one to work at - I hope they're paid accordingly! She was a one-woman show, and she was doing a fantastic job at handling the many tasks. (We visited about 4:30 on Saturday on Oct 25) They were great lattes, even some latte art! We went all-out on this visit. I had a Banella Brûlée, absolutely perfect. Everything is a bit sweet but that's what you're looking for when you order an ice cream waffle, right?! The Oreo was also a great choice. The tables are a bit small, but it's manageable. If it was full, I may be a bit claustrophobic but I think it's fine if there's some room. Overall, highly recommend for a latte or a sweet treat. They have some seasonal mini leige waffles if you're looking for something on the go!
