Brain Freeze
Sure, you could go to Dairy Queen, but why when there’s Gastown cool organic soft serve ice cream. Or durian gelato. Or a really good vanilla with a shot of Matchstick espresso poured over the top.
Earnest Ice Cream
The salted caramel is stuff of legend for good reason.

Artisan Popsicles from a bicycle cart – strawberry balsamic is our favourite. Okay, blueberry mojito a close second.

I had the opportunity to try Earnest Ice Cream from their store on Fraser and I have to say that it was definitely the best ice cream I have ever had, and my opinion should count as I am currently pregnant and sample ice cream on an hourly basis. Now I have a list of others to try, thanks!
Wonderful!
Isn’t it great? I’m excited to try the honeycomb-topped one at Soft Peaks myself…
