Best Gelato in Port Moody

"Cofounder and owners Blair and Josie had one goal in mind when starting up Rain or Shine: create delicious ice cream without all the chemical crap you see in processed food. And that’s exactly what they did. Now with 3 locations and a truck roaming the city, Rain or Shine has spawned a legion of fans who go wild for their locally and organically sourced ice cream."

"Definitely one of the most popular places to get ice cream in the city. Seriously, the lines at their location in Kits are downright nutty. But, they make a mean pint, have ice cream taco Tuesdays, and their milkshakes are incredible."

"Once delivered by bicycle in 2012 to Vancouver’s ice cream cognoscenti, Earnest Ice Cream has expanded into two bricks and mortar locations on Vancouver’s east side. Earnest makes organic, small batch ice cream that is available via cone, cup or in 500 ml jars for take home enjoyment. The variety of flavors changes by the season and according to ingredient availability."

"From one space in Chinatown to an international company, Virtuous Pie is a must-know name not just for vegan fare, but for pizza in general. Opting for a delicious thin crust as the base, Virtuous Pie has a wide variety of options, ranging from classic marinara all the way to truffle touches and Buffalo cauliflower on top. The pies are super reasonably priced too, which means more cash in your pocket for their garlic knots or some mac and cheese on the side."

"Location: 583 Main Street, Vancouver (Chinatown)Category: Pizza / VeganDescription: Handcrafted pizza that is made entirely in-house with artisanal nut-based cheeses with innovative toppings and names (Stranger Wings, anyone?). Cap it off with some delicous plant-based ice cream for dessert!. There’s also a location up at UBC.Website: www.virtuouspie.com"

"A pizza topped with buffalo sauce coated cauliflower that I promise most people would never even know is completely vegan."

"After a few licks, gelato aficionados will likely say that Bella Gelateria has some of the best out there. It's not surprising considering it won first place at the 2012 Florence Italy Gelato Festival. Bella makes small batches each day and only uses quality ingredients."

"Source: Photo by Wikimedia Commons user dronepicr used under CC BY 2.0. Bella Gelateria makes world-renowned gelato from whole milk. Due to this, the gelato has less air in it and a stronger flavour, which means more bang for your buck."

"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"

"Ok, Soft Peaks is definitely more in the ‘crazy’ category than the ‘classic’ one, but we love it all the same."

"A local favorite ice cream shop and long-standing gelateria on Venables Street, La Casa Gelato boasts over 200 flavors of gelato, sorbetto and frozen yogurt. Reflecting Vancouver’s cultural mix, flavours include durian, garlic, and the usual suspects of chocolate, cocopine and cassata (an Italian favorite). As in Italy, pay first, then taste and select your flavor at your leisure."

"La Casa Gelato offers a whopping 238 different varieties of gelato. It actually won a world record for most gelato flavours on site. Address: 1033 Venables Street, VancouverPhone: 604-251-3211"

"Popina, a project backed by four all-star local chefs including Angus An, Robert Belcham, Hamid Salimian, and Joël Watanabe, is super popular for those visiting Granville Island. Serving up Whole Dungeness Crab, Whole East Coast Lobster, Seafood Trays, burgers, wine, and beer, patrons can also try Puffcream for the first time ever – it’s the world’s first soft serve cream puff.

"Speaking of crazy ice cream creations, it’s hard to overlook the ‘Puffcream’ at Popina. If you think about it, it’s simply a hilariously overfilled cream puff with some added toppings, but dang if it doesn’t look delicious and taste the part!. We think this is a great option for a sweet treat while you’re waltzing around Granville Island, so make sure to try it out yourself."

"Eyebrows were raised when this contemporary, rustic-style Italian restaurant opened in a hitherto sketchy part of town. But Campagnolo has lured locals and inspired a miniwave of other restaurants in the... Seafood in Yaletown & Granville Island"

"Maybe we’re too easily impressed, but we think it’s crazy that a dairy-free gelato joint in Chinatown has over 35 different flavours. It’s a good choice for those that want more than like 2-3 options when grabbing dairy-free frozen treats."

"This spot nestled in Chinatown specializes in frozen non-dairy treats. You might think that would set them back a little bit. In reality, they’ve perfected the art of vegan ice ‘cream’ and are destined for the history books in the city."

"When it comes to Passione, you get the vibe of a small neighbourhood gelateria with its tiny storefront, generous portions and the oh-so-friendly & soft-spoken Italian owner (Salvatore Boccoarossa) serving you behind the counter. But then you add in the expertise and international accolades of Salvatore (graduate of Carpigiani Gelato University and winner of the Grand Title of North America Champions) and the unrelenting focus on only using fresh organic seasonal ingredients…. You get Passione Gelato in its entirety."

"Often hailed as the best gelato spot in the city, Passione Gelato uses the best ingredients to make small-batch handcrafted gelato. One lick of its mango flavour will seem like you’re eating an actual Thai mango, and its pistachio flavour has an outstanding nutty taste. But a standout is its durian flavour: almost an exact replica of the spiky Southeast Asian fruit that harnesses a unique smell (some might say a potent stench) but comes with a deliciously sweet and creamy taste."

"A post shared by Passione Gelato Artigianale (@passionegelatoyvr). Passione Gelato Artigianale operates at 55 Smithe Street, just underneath Parq Vancouver. This sweet spot was started by Salvatore Boccarossa (formerly of Bella Gelateria), who is a Naples-born graduate of the world-famous Carpigiani Gelato University near Bologna, Italy."

"This sculpture is one of the many attractions along the Stanley Park Sea Wall. This particular statue reminds of the the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, and from far away she does look like a mermaid!. The Girl in a wet suit statue is located just off shore of the wall and sits just in front of Vancouver Harbour and the North Shore mountains."

"At last, our final, spur of the moment location was a view of BC Place (Vancouver’s Whitecap’s Stadium). We walked around Vancouver and ended up overlooking a gorgeous nighttime view of the cityscape. Most of Day 2 was spent with our friends, taking photos and playing tourist throughout Vancouver."

"The Vancouver Art Gallery’s world-class reputation is well earned, not only for its extensive permanent collection of Canadian art, but also for its rotating exhibitions which showcase art from some of the world’s most renowned collections—everything from Renaissance portraiture to interactive contemporary installations."

"The Art gallery at Vancouver will take you to see the power of art. This art gallery is the most interesting and innovative visual art institution. There is no lack of culture in Vancouver."

"A post shared by Chimgee Anderson (@chimgeeanderson) on Oct 28, 2017 at 2:48pm PDT. LeSoleil Gallery offers fine art collections including original paintings and sculptures by French Impressionists such as Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh. The gallery also displays the artwork of established modern artists such as Johanan Herson, Elena Yampolsky and Shai Mandel."

"Vancouver's best museum is studded with spectacular First Nations totem poles and breathtaking carvings – but it's also teeming with artifacts from cultures around the world, from Polynesian instruments to Cantonese opera costumes. Take one of the free daily tours (check ahead for times) for some context, but give yourself at least a couple of hours to explore on your own. It's easy to immerse yourself here. "

"Museum of Anthropology at UBC: An informative museum highlighting The First Nations of Canada. Kitsilano Beach: An excellent place to relax with scenic views of Vancouver. You can also swim here when the weather is warm."

"Came here after years since i didnt like the burger when i came last time but i saw they might be under new management and had veggie nuggets and thought..."
