Review Welcome Parlour Ice Cream - North Vancouver

Located on the east side of the ice rink, this is a cute ice cream shop with lots of candy options if you don’t want ice cream. They had 20 different ice cream flavors to choose from. Overall the ice cream was average, the initial bites were good but by the end of the first scoop, the taste wasn’t great. Do not get the birthday cake. The eggnog is also mostly cinnamon. The double chocolate and apple pie are good options.

Has all the hallmarks of a tourist trap. Expensive, small scoops. Expensive coffee. Very limited selection (maybe not the norm, but there were 5 flavours, none of them suitable for kids, at the time. Instead of a rewarding ice cream treat in the neighbourhood, we felt used. The ice cream equivalent of a resort town gift shop. Now, rents aren't cheap in the waterfront markets and running a business is impossibly difficult during the pandemic, to boot. So, higher prices are to be expected, but in that case, perhaps a higher quality offering for a higher price is warranted? More generous scoops for more money... Or the other direction: a classic Parlour experience with less expensive options (soft serve etc.) and less "luxury". The middle ground feels like it leaves everyone somewhat unsatisfied. Despite the 3 star review, the service and effort and staff are appreciated. Here's hoping there's room to tinker to make it even better.

Honestly this is not a good ice cream place. Whereas the location couldn’t be better is a missed opportunity. Their ice cream is just bad ice cream. The place is nice with tons of neat imported candies. Service was fast and friendly.. but I won’t be back anytime soon. There is tons of competition and yet this place relies on location not on quality.

I didn’t know this place was here but I’m glad I found it on google maps! We got the espresso chocolate flake and the double chocolate (tbh, neither of us like that many ranges of flavours). Both were amazing! I’m definitely coming back.

This little scoop is worth more than $5 but I guess its the location, so it is what it is. #notworthit However I'm glad there is vegan options (only 2) AND it closes late. I got the chocolate orange vegan flavour. Not bad but I've had better.

Cute place but the ice cream was sub-par :( we got 4 different flavors and they were all very disappointing. The cookies & cream as well as the cookie dough were just plain vanilla ice cream w a few things mixed in. London fog was too strong, the birthday cake was just bad, and the "ice cream sandwich" was a scoop between two tiny sugar cookies. I'm not a picky person and usually enjoy ice cream even from chain places, but this was really disappointing especially considering the marketing that made it seem like it was going to be small batch amazingness. Instead it was chalky and truly just a waste of money. Staff was very nice tho hence the two stars rather than one!

Super cute, old-fashioned style ice cream shop. Love browsing at all the old sweets from childhood memories. I also love that the ice cream float is made with bottled Boylan's soda that you can pick whatever flavor from the fridge instead of fountain soda.

They don't give samples, so how can I know which one I want to try ? Especially if it's an unusual flavour. Staff were curt and not friendly. I settled for mint chocolate chip which was disgustingly sweet and barely tasted like mint. Overly priced for low quality ice cream. Will not recommend and will never be coming back.
