Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy ice cream. While we love it no matter the time of year, it does tend to taste better in the summertime. Around town, there is no shortage of seriously sweet spots to satisfy your craving. But with so many options, it can be challenging to figure out where to go. To help you out, we made the ultimate Vancouver ice cream map of all the shops you need to try before summer ends. Soft-serve, gelato, all-natural ice cream...there is something for everyone on our list. So what will it be, a classic scoop of chocolate, or perhaps something more unusual like mango coconut sticky rice? Without a doubt, La Casa Gelato is going to have something you haven't tried before. They boast literally hundreds of drool-worthy. The next time it is blazing hot outside, and you need to cool down, all you need to do is open up our map. It will lead you to all the tastiest dessert spots. Here are our 12 top picks that you need to try before the warm weather is gone. It is time to get started and go on our unbelievable frozen dessert crawl.

View this post on Instagram Wisdom tooth extractions become Irrelephant when you get to eat ice cream🐘 — • MANGO COCONUT STICKY RICE (V) • SALTED GULA MELAKA (V) — My wisdom tooth extraction was the perfect excuse for me to finally try the cool flavours I’ve been hearing about at @elephantgardencreamery !!! Honestly pretty much went for the Mango Coconut Sticky Rice 🥭🥥🍚 First of all, I had no idea it was vegan 🌱 When I found out I was a little skeptical about how it would taste cuz most dairy free ice creams I’ve had in the past were just meh.. but wow this was SO GOOD. High key adding this to my list of favourite ice cream flavours 😋 We also got the Salted Gula Melaka - not only cuz the name sounded cool but because it was super delicious as well when I had a sample (also another one of their vegan flavours). Similar to a salted caramel but a little less caramel-ey. Loved the hint of saltiness it added! Definitely a new favourite ice cream shop of mine in Vancouver. I also noticed they had a Salted Cheese Boba Tea Toast, and I’ll definitely have to try that next time. 📍Vancouver, BC - 2080 Commercial Drive A post shared by Shanni ♥ Vancouver Foodie (@appetitealways) on Jan 24, 2020 at 9:41pm PST Menu Milkcow Canada Price: 💸 Address: 105-5668 Hollybridge Way, Richmond, BC Why You Need To Go: They sell super creamy soft serve in summery flavours like watermelon and mango.
