London fog
Tammy L.

had it once at a different location and I had to get it again for the second time. this time I tried the London fog flavor and cookie and cream. Iondon fog is like earl grey flavor and it was delicious. they also have seasonal flavors. great service. small section of seating inside the store

What an amazing experience. I came for an ice cream after a diner and I was surprise by this place. Small local business, with a beautiful decoration and great ice cream options. I chose the raspberry and chocolate vegan option and it was tasty. It was so refreshing after a warm day and it was so yummy. I believe their vegan option was made by coconut milk, it makes the flavour even better. They have an amazing customer service. They were so professional and so friendly, it makes your experience even better. I hope you will have a great experience and love their ice cream. It worth!!!! Cheers

Excellent premium ice cream parlour ice cream here and 2 other locations. They have exceptional quality product but the service, depending upon who you get may be hit and miss. $7.50 for double scoop come! Creative flavours with fresh ingredients that you may sample before ordering Pro tip avoid the bigger Asian girl at this location as we get less ice cream when ordering from her as she does not maintain proper serving controls and scoops smaller portions than standard. This was observed on several occasions. She didn't allow the lineup crowd to move forward as she wanted tips at her terminal closest to the front of the line which was awkward for the line up

Dropped by and enjoyed a BOGO ice cream sandwich. Was introduced to Earnest when I moved to the west coast. Initially not a fan of ice creams, but always enjoyed their unique flavours and selections. Wish they had more ice cream sandwich flavours, but only had this and the vegan option available at the time of my visit. I loved that it wasn't super sweet and quite an amount ! :) would love to come back for other flavours. Service was really friendly

the wrapping on a sammie

having earnest ice cream before dinner on saturday around 7:00 pm felt like a sweet start to what feels like an early spring. despite a bit of a lineup, the queue moved quickly. i was treated to a double scoop on a waffle cone, opting for the carrot cake flavour, a blend of house made spiced carrot cake and decadent cream cheese fudge swirled into lightly spiced ice cream, capturing textures and the essence of a classic dessert in frozen form. and to top it all off, i couldn't resist indulging in the cold brew coffee flavour, as my second scoop, a velvety concoction infused with house of funk coffee, steeped for days to achieve that perfect cold brew flavour. it was like sipping on a refreshing iced coffee.

Easily one of the better ice creameries in Vancouver! This was my first time visiting this location but the experiences are all the same - great staff and great service! It's a nice clean interior with a great selection of ice creams (pints, cones, cups and sandwiches available). The only downside is there is no seating to enjoy the ice cream there or to have a chit chat with a friend so we decided to indulge in our sandwiches in the car. There is some street parking available just be mindful of whatever the signs say (in case some are for permit only). The ice cream sandwich itself was okay - I thought the base would be more "cookie"/brownie like but tasted more cakey and doughy. Still good but just messy as you ate along. A lovely treat to end the night!

One of my favourite ice cream places in Vancouver - Earnest Ice Cream! This is one of their smaller locations with only room for take out and no where to sit. However because of that, the lineup was pretty short even on a beautiful sunny day. I love all their classic flavours with my go to being whiskey hazelnut, London fog, and salted caramel. Highly recommend for local artisan ice cream!

Earnest is hands-down the best ice cream shop in the entire Vancouver area. They have several locations but this one tends to be the one with the shortest wait. Street parking here is also a lot more abundant than the other locations. On top of their classical flavors, Earnest also makes monthly flavors, which are always worth a try. My favorite is their vanilla ice cream sandwich for $7.50 CAD. The two skins are so soft and thick that they melt in your mouth. The vanilla is also perfectly churned with the right consistency and sweetness. The other flavor I highly recommend tasting is their Whiskey Hazelnut.

During this entire covid 19 situation they've closed all their locations except for this one. You just have to order online (minimum $30) and pick up at this location. Once their online order slots fills up, you just have to wait until the next Tuesday at 10am to try and order again. Earnest is my favourite ice cream parlour and Whiskey and Hazelnut has always been my favourite go to flavour and always will be :) Before lockdown, I normally get my icecream pint from False Creek, but anything truly good is worth the time and effort to get, if you can imo.

vegan blueberry crumble
Priscilla Y.

We got a lot of pints during Covid 19 and one of the favourites has been lemon poppyseed. Very creamy with a hint of lemon. Also a fan of their carrot cake, apple pie and rhubarb oat crumble. Ice cream sandwiches are an expensive but delicious treat here. My family loved the lemon sandwich, I enjoyed their carrot cake and the tiramisu had a delicious ice cream base. Very thoughtful customer service and aware of COVID-19 health precautions.

One line review: a premium ice cream experience. We met friends at this little spot, which frankly isn't much to look at. But as the old saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Inside were many delights. The ice cream here isn't cheap, but it is special. I don't say that lightly. I love ice cream and worked in an ice cream parlor for 3 years as a youth. This is artisan ice cream crafted with special care and unusual flavor combinations. Our crew of four tried many flavors, but by far, my favorite was the Whiskey Hazelnut. Our host told us that it was not to be missed, and she was right -- creamy, not too sweet, and the flavors of both the whiskey and the hazelnut were prominent in pleasing proportions. Our server was perhaps the greatest ice cream server of all time. She was hospitable, knowledgeable, and had a quirky, humorous charm. She really contributed to what was a great experience. Parking was free on the street and not hard to find at night. Bottom line: We will go back here for a treat.

My family and I, including our two elementary-aged boys, visited Rain or Shine Ice Cream recently…read more I was a little disappointed with the flavour selection this time. Maybe it's because summer is winding down, but there didn't seem to be as many fruity options, which made it harder for my boys to find something they really wanted. They ended up choosing the blueberry balsamic. They thought it was okay, but it wasn't a flavour they were particularly excited about. I personally love the honeycomb flavour! It was delicious, but I was disappointed that there weren't more pieces of honeycomb throughout the ice cream. I was hoping for a little more of that crunchy honeycomb texture. Another disappointment was the outdoor patio area. When we went outside to enjoy our ice cream, there was a noticeable garbage-like smell nearby. We couldn't figure out exactly where it was coming from, but it made the patio less enjoyable, so we ended up going back inside. Overall, we still enjoyed our family ice cream outing, but I was hoping for a little more variety in the flavours and a more pleasant outdoor seating experience.

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!

Great to see more hard ice cream establishments in Vancouver. Read recent Roosters reviews so…read morethought 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.
