So, I won't lie, I had REALLY high expectations when I chose this out of all the other options for "dinner". I. Am. Blown. Away. The waitress was patient and answered all my questions. The place is small but clean. They run out of their seasonal, so be aware. My husband paid while I went to the bathroom and he kinda made a comment about 25 bucks for two ice creams, which surprised me as well. Until she gave us the ice cream. My Mt St Helens was three largish scoops with a delightfully large amount of toppings. His ice cream cone came in one of the largest cones I've ever seen. It's thicker and crispier than commercial so I think they make their cones in house! But the rockstar is the ice cream itself. I grew up in the area and so I'm very familiar with northwest flavors. This ice cream is like my childhood in a scoop. The ice cream has enough fats to give a nice mouth feel and I'm not even sure they use Guar gum or carrageenan. The honey tastes local. Even the raspberry syrup tastes like raspberries off the side of a country road that are ripe but not too ripe. That sweet sour taste. If you are traveling through or a guest of this town, you have to try the ice cream.

They have a nice canvas sail overhead to give some shade for seating. The inside is super small. Not what I was expecting. It was similar to Salt & Straw on the Vancouver Waterfront. It's definitely a grab and go type of establishment. I didn't see any baked goods displayed at all. Maybe they've done away with those options?! They had a nice variety of ice-cream flavors to choose from, including non-dairy selections. They also had floats. I decided on the single scoop Mint Cookies & Cream. It was absolutely delicious, and fresh! No freezer burn whatsoever, and plenty of cookies throughout. The mint flavor wasn't too overpowering either. It was the perfect after lunch treat! Staff was okay. Not super friendly at all. She didn't say much when I walked in either. I was the only one in there. It looked like you could sample some of their flavors too, but I wasn't sure if the extra interaction was welcomed. Definitely a different customer service vibe than Salt & Straw; their employees are so friendly and personable. Overall an okay experience. The ice-cream was delicious, but customer service lacking.

Loved that they're coming up with new inventive flavors, pushing the boundaries with complex . Today I tried the plantain with a hint of jalapeño. It's just a cool combination. I love the simplicity of strawberry and coconut, as well---clean and refreshing. We also had the sea salt with caramel ribbons---an experiment of contrasts that work in the end. Loved that they're offer seasonal flavors. The design of the stores are attractive and consistent. The staff are friendly and offer suggestions. I can see why there are long lines all the time.

The ice cream itself was just okay -- tasted like your standard ice cream, nothing that really stood out. We tried the milkshakes -- they come in a mason jar with toppings, or in a regular plastic cup without toppings, but both felt pretty overpriced for what you get. Service was super friendly and welcoming, though a bit slow. Great ambiance overall, just wish the pricing and flavor matched the presentation.

Walking in on a Saturday afternoon, the place was quite crowded with a line at the cash register, but for some reason no line at the order kiosk. When I visited, there was a interesting Korean build-your-own instant ramen shop in their soft opening phase in the shop connected to (and only enterable from) Softea. Assam Black Milk Tea, Regular Size, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, Non-Dairy Creamer w/ Boba ($7.20) - The milk tea has a good body and is shaken until foam develops on the surface. The Assam tea base tastes fruity, almost a bit like plum, mixed with plenty of malt essence. It's not too sweet at half and is generally good to drink. The boba is a little firm for my tastes, but is mostly acceptable. The pearls are smaller than normal boba, not mini sized, but probably could expand a bit more with more boil and soak time. They do have good, consistently smooth exteriors. Note: Less ice is still a lot of ice Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Softea serves some decent boba. I wish they put in a little less ice, but there are certainly worse options in Vancouver. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

My birthday celebrant nephew and I ordered a Czech bottled beer that was refreshing and a true pilsner. Our niece enjoyed a real Georgian peach soda. For appetizers, the classic cheese/egg yolk bread offering was amazing! Main courses included two roast pork plates, spectacular salmon, and, my favorite, grilled lamb. Desserts ran the gamut... All were splendid! Ours was a repeat visit to Dediko, and we will return to enjoy the fabulous food, considerate service, and ambiance that, "Back in the day," still reflects the vibe from Bill Marshall Ford's architecture. Best wishes for continued success! Sincerely, Andy & Donna Gregg.

The sauce was decadent, savory, smokey, and had a hint of sweetness, which pulled everything together.

My sweet friend treated me to lunch and we both enjoyed it very much. We started with a wonderful appetizer, nicely toasted bed covered with mushrooms and garlic . Delicious. I then had a half corned beef and homemade chips. It was very good. And my friend had their famous Caesar salad with shrimp added. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent. It was a busy lunch time, but we never felt neglected. Our server did a wonderful job. We choose a table outside in the sunshine, it was much quieter outside so that we could have a nice chat. The only negative is the interior is very loud. Other than that, it's a great place to have lunch or dinner at.
