    Mango raspberry and passion fruit (double scoop, $7.50)
    C. H.

    I stopped by here because I wanted an ice cream filled donut, but the store was sold out. Ice cream sandwiches were sold out as well. Maybe they should stock up on more donuts and cookies during the weekends? I have been on a weekly ice cream adventure during the summer and wanted to try something different. Anyways, I tried a few samples and ended up with a passion fruit and mango raspberry double scoop ice cream cone. The quality of the ice cream is there. However, the passion fruit was not as frozen as the mango raspberry so I had to be very careful how I ate the cone. Overall, it was an alright experience. It is worth stopping by if you are in the area for some homemade ice cream.

    Great to see more hard ice cream establishments in Vancouver. Read recent Roosters reviews so thought we would give it a try. There are some positives about our experience. First, it is an interesting location on east Broadway in a mainly residential area...the good thing is this allows for plenty of free street parking. The room is functional but leaves something to be desired aesthetically. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The flavours were very much in line with Earnest. Sampled the Dark Chocolate and selected my usual, Caramel Sea Salt. Strong creamy caramel taste (which is great) but unfortunately lacking any sea salt flavour. Glad we went but not sure we will be returning anytime soon.

    Since when did the ice cream explosion happen in Vancouver? These artisan type ice cream places have been popping up like crazy in the past couple of years. Mario's Gelato and La Casa Gelato were the original (not quite) ice cream places waaaaaay back when. Mario's used to be on Cambie Street if any of you remember that. I can't keep up. I tried it. Lemon poppy seed. I like it. It's the one I liked the most. Give it a shot. The place is a dive. The ice cream is good tho. I used their washroom. It's the dive of dives. The ice cream is good tho. Really, it is.

    The ice cream was really good. I tried the whisky hazelnut and the earl grey sample. I was told the lemon flavor with poppy seed is the most popular flavor and so at the end of day, I settled for that. The lemon flavor was good. Have to say the ice cream their ice cream is really good. and yes after the ice cream I was not thirsty. This is a plus, I have to say. Right now going in, you get $1 off the ice cream automatically.

    So gooooood!!!!! They have great flavours and we tried everyone of them . It's a dollar more than rain or shine ice cream but they also have bigger serving size. Not a lot of foot traffic in the area, as location is in a residential neighborhood. The balsamic blueberry is really good, better than rain or shine's. Yes, we did the taste comparison. I see a very bright future for Roosters.

    Cookies and Cream

    Visited this ice cream bar due to an online voucher and was a little disappointed. I guess I expected it to be similar to Earnest or Rain or Shine, where the decor would be modern and hip. Roosters was nothing alike. It looked like they have not completed the renovation and many pieces were incomplete. The server was friendly, but also quite confused as she didn't really understand our voucher. She allowed us to try a lot of different flavours, but each time she gave us a little sample, the ice cream would fall off the spoon or onto her bare hand (which was a little unsanitary). I thought that the ice cream had great taste, but somehow the consistency of it that night was really chunky and icy. We ended up with a single scoop in a cone, and a ice cream filled doughnut. My cookies and cream ice cream scoop was delicious, although the waffle cone tasted like it was just bought from superstore. The doughnut was very dry, and tasted stale. Despite so, I believe that their ice creams have great taste, is definitely fresh and at a very good price. Presentation and overall experience can be improved.

    I really like this place, however I'm going to give 2.5 stars for my recent visit. Everything was fine from sampling and then ordering double scoops of ice cream. I got lime & lavender and black sesame flavours they all tasted good. I really enjoyed their icecream till I saw a small piece of hair. That was first thing that turned me off. Owner gave me a new icecream when I showed it to her. Later she gave me a new scoop of icecream. So I had black sesame icecream for twice and then found solid mixture of sugar and sesame. I could taste solid sugar and sesame and icecream sepatately. It was tiny piece of solid sugar mixed with sesame. Yuck. Ingredients weren't mixed properly. Despite the great customer service I'm giving 2.5 stars. Hopefully I don't taste separation of sugar and icecream next time I go. I'm just disappointed.

    Mango raspberry and cookie cream!
    Sydney W.

    Rooster's Ice Cream! Local? Check. Delicious? Check. Seasonal Flavours? Check! Great flavours all round, I typically get the mango raspberry or salted caramel. Both are great choices and come in the tub option. Price point is comparable to all the other local ice cream spots. They also make ice cream sandwiches, which, if you can get are amazing! The cookie portion has a crunch and they don't skimp on the ice cream. Check it out!

    Cookies n Cream $5
    Kate M.

    I decided to head to Roosters to switch up from my go-to which is Earnest and I've gotta say it does not compare to the flavour profiles you get at Earnest. I got Cookies n Cream and it was yummy, but tastes like I could have store bought it myself for less than the price of a single scoop which is $5. This is definitely a grab and go as it's very hot inside and there is little to no ambience. Before I got the cone, I was contemplating just buying a pint and taking it home but they had very little in stock and no flavours that interested me. Earnest is still #1.

    Meh. I've definitely experienced better... I went in today for some ice-cream and I came out pretty disappointed... I went in today with my family and we were looking forward to having some really good ice-cream. The girl behind the counter was very nice and she asked if we would like some samples and of course we tried them. The triple strawberry was the first flavour we tried... it tasted extremely artificial and super icy. We also tried some other flavours like mint cookie which tasted basically like mint chocolate but with cookie. It tasted like ice-cream from a tub. On their website they had a whole list of flavours that they had today, however when we went in there was only a few flavours we could choose from. I'm not sure if it's because of the time we went and they ran out... or if it was false advertising. The servers there were very friendly and bubbly... they also looked like they were in grade.7-9. They looked extremely young and were dancing to the music they were playing from a speaker. This was around 9:30pm so it was strange to see only two young girls running the whole store. We ended up getting two double scoop ice creams ($7 per cone). The first was whiskey hazelnut & salted caramel. The other was lemon poppy seed & whiskey hazelnut. Basically all of their flavours were pretty good, not extremely strong but still able to taste it. However the consistency of the ice cream was not good at all which was why it was disappointing. They all tasted icy and not creamy at all. It was also super runny and started to melt really fast. One of the scoop on our cones actually slid right off... thankfully we saved it and we asked the server for a cup to place it in. I wasn't able to get a photo of it because it slid off that fast. The store itself was really old, you can tell that the owner put the effort to make it look nice. They painted the walls, added some ice-cream photos and even painted the ceiling tiles to match the colour of the walls. But it was still obvious that the building was clearly an older building. Each table had a small plant that had a name stuck to it which was pretty unique. The price is the same as Earnest Ice Cream so I'd much rather spend it on that than the ice cream here. Overall my experience was not that great and I would not be coming back.

    Very generous double scoop of raspberry cheesecake and lime & organic lavender - $6 (8th September 2015)
    Harriette L.

    You can really tell that a lot of effort and love was put into this ice cream. I came here to try their lemon poppy seed flavour (which is undoubtedly one of my favourite ice cream flavours) and it had just the right amount of tang to it. Surprisingly I found myself buying a double scoop of lime and organic lavender and raspberry cheesecake instead. The decision was no easy task. The lime and lavender had a nice tang and light freshness to contrast the creamier raspberry cheesecake. I love that they didn't skimp on the the ingredients. The lime was filled with lime zest and lavender while the raspberry cheesecake had numerous bits of (whole?!) raspberry and cheesecake. The serving size is very generous, too, so a double scoop is well worth the price. I almost couldn't finish it. There are only two tables with two seats each, however, and considering the nearby VCC Broadway campus, they might want to add seating to accommodate what I think is going to be a large influx of students. p.s. They're working on ice cream-filled doughnuts!

    Bottom: blueberry espresso balsamic (I forget) Top: raspberry chocolate balsamic  These two flavours tasted quite similar.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here.
