    Tiramisu
    Jacquelyn C.

    Green Forest was good--the matcha was strong and flavorful and paired well with the red beans. The tiramisu was delicious as well. The soft serve is creamy and soft.

    Matchamisu seasonal flavour

    When I heard about the new seasonal offering, I made sure to drop by for the matchamisu. As a tiramisu lover, the creamy mascarpone cream was really nice and helped to balance out the bitterness of the matcha soft serve. The lady fingers were well soaked in uji matcha and adds the perfect texture to each bite.

    I saw this place on Instagram so I had bookmarked it for our trip to Vancouver. We stopped in on a Monday at around 2 PM. It's very easy to miss because the sign is very subtle, and the storefront looks like it's closed. It's on the edge of Gastown, so it's still fine but if you walk a block or two further than this, it starts getting a bit shady. I originally wanted to try the honeycomb peak but read mixed opinions on whether or not you should eat honeycomb while pregnant. So instead, I opted for the Brown Sugar Pearls (brown sugar drizzle with tapioca pearls) and hubby had Gastown (homemade tiramisu toppings). Mine was good but nothing amazing, and nothing I couldn't find somewhere else. Hubby's was too sweet for my taste. The annoying thing was that there were little flies everywhere. One took the first bite of my ice cream before I even got the chance to. Maybe we didn't get the right flavors but I would say this spot isn't worth going out of your way for. Luckily, we were already in Gastown.

    Clean interior and easy to order. They have great pre planned combos but you can also dream up and include additional toppings. Love the unique offerings. They use organic milk which I love. The ice cream itself isn't very sweet so great for those that don't like things too sweet. It's very creamy. I would love to try again with different flavors as mine didn't have enough punch for me until the end (the brown sugar settled near the bottom). Did have the vibe of brown sugar boba in ice cream form. Service was very quick. There is seating inside available.

    I went to Soft Peaks and got the egg tart parfait for the Vancouver Ice Cream Festival! The ice cream was so incredibly creamy and soft and paired nicely with the egg-tart. The ice cream by itself was a bit basic and the egg-tart was just okay as there was a lot more crust than filling. However, together with the custard sauce, it was better! I really liked the design of the store though. There was a flight of stairs leading to an upstairs seating area and a mirror on the wall where you can take a cute photo. I think I'd have to try another flavour to write a better review!

    Yummy but pricey soft serve. I liked the matcha syrup version. They have seating upstairs

    Ube Sago
    Michele T.

    Needed a quick pick me up after exploring Canada Place and Gastown. Hubs and I shared the seasonal Ube Sago (ube soft sweet with Sago and ube jelly). The soft serve was creamy and full of ube flavor. We liked the Sago and ube jelly with the soft serve - Not too sweet. Quite a few combinations to choose from or customize your own.

    Love love love their soft serves and toppings. Service always is so friendly and helpful.

    Honeycomb matcha
    Carmen P.

    Cute little gem in Gastown. It was quiet as it was a cold night. Tried the honeycomb one. The cornflakes is key in this one as the wax from the honeycomb detracts from the texture. Tried their seasonal matcha one which wasn't bad as I am a fan of red bean. Overall it was great and they even have seating upstairs.

    We found this spot after supper. It was super tasty and and I definitely recommend if you're looking for a cold dessert. Quaint spot with supper friendly staff. They are also quick to make your treat.

    matcha & tiramisu
    Hana T.

    Solid ice cream spot. It's very creamy and quite sweet. The portions are generous. I like how they give the cookie on the side so you can have some textural difference. Yummy treat if you're in the Gastown area. I quite like the tiramisu one because the cacao they add on top is thicker (?) so you can almost "chew" on it. It must be mixed with coffee as well! You can also pick your own flavours and toppings! Depending on what you like!

    Green tea syrup over soft serv

    Great place to grab a quick sweet treat during the summer. The ice cream is super creamy and rich. Eat quickly or it will melt in the summer heat.

    This spot is Vancouver's first handcrafted organic milk soft serve shop they serve unique toppings which go so well with the creamy soft serve & adds the perfect amount of sweetness I tried their blueberry, tiramisu & matcha flavours which were all so smooth & tasty my fav was the blueberry one as I really enjoyed the fruity flavour of the blueberry compote & purée Seating available inside on lower level with more on the second floor!

There's free parking on the street but only if you're lucky enough to snag a spot. It was very busy when I first arrived. I circled several times before I finally got lucky and a car pulled out of its spot on Fraser St. As soon as I saw that a car was leaving I parked in the same spot as soon as I possibly could.

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.
