Best Gelato in Burnaby

"The aptly named Rain or Shine has been a staple for UBC students in spring classes for years, but is without a doubt a tried and true local favourite as well. And, in the same way, heading over on a Tuesday for their beloved ice cream taco will never fail to put a smile on your face. If you’ve ever had a choco-taco from your local ice cream truck, the Rain or Shine option is like a perfect upgrade to that."

"#TacoTuesday doesn't have to just be limited to Mexican restaurants. Choose any two flavors of ice cream with toppings and have it served in a waffle taco shell instead of the standard cone."

"Their ice cream is a little smoother than the offerings from rain or shine and approaches a gelato-like consistency. Still ice cream though, and always worth the wait."

"The healthiest option on this list, Virtuous Pie offers 100% plant-based pizza for those looking to improve their diet or help the earth a little bit. The 10-inch individual pizzas range from classic Margherita to curry pizza to chorizo and artichoke. They have multiple locations but we’re most inclined to go to the one on Main Street."

"A post shared by Soft Peaks Ice Cream (@softpeaksicecream) on Apr 10, 2019 at 3:16pm PDT. This spot’s soft serve is all-natural and lower in calories and fat than traditional ice cream recipes because it is made with Avalon organic milk. You can also add an assortment of fun toppings to your cone."

"An organic spot that technically serves ice milk instead of ice cream. It’s less sweet but don’t worry, they make up for it with their incredible toppings. Think of it as the best and weirdest bowl of cereal you’ve ever had."

"Organic Avalon dairy milk turned into swirly soft serve, topped with fresh honeycomb is the best thing at Soft Peaks. So sweet, so simple, so yum. Address: 25 Alexander Street, VancouverInstagram: @softpeaksicecream"

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. This is a small, family-run shop that is just two years old. It might not have a long legacy but the founders’ parents own a dairy so ice cream is in their blood!"

"A post shared by Minn 🇰🇷 | Let's Eat Van 🇨🇦 (@minn._.pixels) on Jun 19, 2018 at 11:54pm PDT. Try out liquid nitrogen ice cream at this eatery. Using liquid nitrogen helps create the ice cream faster and it often has a smoother, creamier texture than traditional ice cream."

"A post shared by Ice Cream, Catering & Events (@bucketsicecream) on May 12, 2020 at 4:00pm PDT. This place has got buckets of ice cream to satisfy your dessert tastebuds. Buckets offers all the classics and then some, and even some vegan options."

"A post shared by Vancouver Ice Cream 🍦 (@creamylicks) on May 5, 2019 at 6:18pm PDT. Maker of one of the city’s best birthday cakes, Sweet Somethings also has a great selection of ice cream. You can also order cones and pints to take home for a personal dessert party."

"Just over the bridge is Kitsilano, Vancouver’s original hippy enclave with a bustling beach, shopping thoroughfare, and attractions like the Museum of Vancouver and the Vancouver Maritime Museum. Celebrating diversity and the arts, Vancouver has a festival calendar that is bursting with exciting events, and tonight, you’re going to experience one for yourself!. Whether you’re catching a documentary screening, stand-up comedy, fringe theatre, an Asian food market or a jazz performance, these events speak to our very Canadian trait of embracing our diversity."

"For all things truly Vancouver; including the past, present, and future, head over to the Museum of Vancouver. Here, you can learn all there is to know about the city, starting from the ancient times and lifestyles of the Musqueam people up to present-day city life in Vancouver. Located in the scenic area of Vanier Park, the museum is easily accessible from downtown and one of the best places to see in Vancouver on a rainy day."

"Use the False Creek ferry service to visit Vanier Park, where you'll find the Museum of Vancouver, Vancouver Maritime Museum or HR MacMillan Space Centre Places to stay in Granville Island"

"On June 13, 1886, there was the Great Vancouver Fire, which took many buildings with it. The Hastings Mill Store was left untouched, leaving it to be Vancouver's oldest building. It wasn't originally at this location, but was built in Gastown and was saved from demolition and put on a barge to it's current location."

"A post shared by Argo Cafe (@argocafe) on Feb 8, 2017 at 10:46pm PST. Another one of Vancouver’s oldest diners, the Argo Cafe used to be a greasy spoon-type until 2004 when it was turned something like no other. The team here creates between seven to ten specials per day so be sure to stop by for a bowl of hot soup and a sandwich."

"Sitting just off Main Street and 2nd Ave, Argo Cafe came under new ownership in 2004 and has been shining ever since. A classic diner with a wide variety of fusion dishes, Argo definitely has something for everyone. Keep it simple with a burger and a side of soup, or go for broke with one of their daily specials."

"With two locations in Vancouver, Deacon’s Corner started in Gastown in 2009 and hasn’t looked back since. The food is a little more classy here, but the menu items are just as blue collar as anywhere else. Case in point is the Big Mountie, which uses three slices of brioche, pulled pork, swiss cheese and fried chicken."

"A post shared by Caroline (@c4roline.eats) on Jan 31, 2017 at 4:52pm PST. A classic diner serving up some great grub to curb those hunger pangs. They have two locations, one in Gastown and one in Kits."

"A funkier cousin of the more traditional chicken and waffles. Oh, and the maple syrup they use on it?. It's Jack Daniels-infused."
