Earnest Ice Cream ended up being our first foray into the world of really, really good ice cream at the recommendation of the Rain City Scoop podcast. We stopped at the store on Quebec near East Second. I love the look of this place both inside and out. I am not sure when it became OK to spend $7.50 for an ice cream cone. The folks in the podcast took responsibility for this as millennials and said it may have started with Starbucks (not ice cream but just premium prices). I guess that I don't mind that much as it will keep us from buying ice cream every day and, at least, in this case, it means a very good experience. To be fair, the $7.50 was for a double in a waffle cone. This was some spectacular ice cream also. Marie chose Cookies and Cream and Salted Caramel. The available flavours change daily and are made in house. You can check their web site. In lieu of Vanilla, according to the podcast, they have what they call Sweet Cream. Artificial vanilla (99% of all vanilla) is a product which demands a process entirely unfriendly to the environment to produce. So Earnest has gone a different direction. We also tried the Vegan Chocolate Fudge Sundae. This is not only for vegans but for the 15 to 30 per cent of North Americans who are lactose intolerant. Stop pretending that you are gluten sensitive (unless your doctor has confirmed it) and recognize the very real possibility that lactose may be messing you up. Again talk to your doctor instead of just consulting Web MD. Your stomach and your friends will thank you! I chose Peanut Butter vegan ice cream for my sundae (coconut cream based) and again, spectacular! The sundae was topped off with lots of chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce and nuts and of course, fudge! Again $7.50 but we're not going to eat one every day, are we? The folks I spoke to here were friendly and enthusiastic about their product. When you go out for ice cream, make it an experience.
• Servers are very patient, cheerful and helpful which made my visit worthwhile
• Everyone knows how their ice cream is like... simply irresistible, creamy texture & yummy!
• Caramel sundae crunch: amazing! The walnuts in it are lovely! $7.50!
• I would go back for more
Went to try Earnest for the first time and I 100% recommend going here. The London fog flavour is delicious and the customer service was perfect. Emily helped me decide on a flavour and was an absolute delight and super helpful.
I’ve been a fan since their very first year of opening. They never disappoint. But the only pints worth getting for me are London Fog and Salted Caramel.
This time I tried the vegan strawberry toasted coconut on a cone. Marvelous! Even mom loved it!
Give this place a try if you haven’t. No regrets.
Happy eating!
I love London Fogs. Put London Fog in a food item, and I’ll probably try it. A lot of ice cream shops make Earl Grey ice cream, but London Fog ice cream is harder to come by. The difference lies in the creamier vanilla flavour that is not guaranteed in the Earl Grey versions.
Earnest easily makes the best London Fog ice cream (or London Fog flavoured anything) that I have ever had. Earnest, please sell your ice cream to the rest of Canada!
Really love their ice cream! I've tried Whiskey Hazelnut, London Fog, Matcha Green Tea and Cookies n Cream. There's a reason why they're always so busy!
Love their natural ingredients and, of course, their ice cream! This has been our go-to ice cream place when we crave for one. We love almost all of the ice cream flavours. Always look forward to going back again for more and more!
Loved the old style brick building! The staff was awesome. Loved their creamy ice cream! Would recommend the earl grey and matcha as a yummy summer treat!
Excellent ice cream, long lines, big price tag, slowish service, great local business, umm yeah Vancouver in a nut shell - just replace long lines with traffic and ice cream with yoga classes. That doesn't make sense sorry...I'm tired but I need to go back to work to pay for my mortgage.
Delicious waffle cones and fun flavours make the line up worthwhile. I enjoyed my double scoop of London Fog and Butter Pecan, so many pecans were in a single scoop! If you eat it outside on a warm day, be sure to eat fast before it melts all over your hands!
Sunshine & Ice Cream, how can you be mad at that. When we arrived the line up was about a block long, but it was moving along at a decent pace. We had the Mint Chip, Cookies 'n Cream and the Cherry God Cheese and it was delicious!
The staff was super friendly - but since they didn't have seating available inside, when you got the the ordering and pay station, it did get a little cramped in there, but luckily we didn't have to be in there for too long to get our ice cream.
Will definitely be coming back to try more flavours!
One of the best ice cream places I have ever been to. I tried their cookies and cream, whisky hazelnut, salted caramel and blueberry cheesecake flavours. All of those were unique. I loved the whiskey hazelnut the most. It's so creamy and with a slight hint of whiskey and lots of hazelnut. Salted caramel had a burnt taste to it, I didn't mind it! It's definitely worth a try!
earnest ice cream - vegan raspberry 10/10
it tastes very rich and you can even get bits of raspberry seeds! the raspberries are sweet and it tastes very fresh! the flavour is smooth and creamy with the coconut base. it’s very refreshing and a perfect summer treat! great as a pint because it melts quickly. since it’s vegan it feels more like a frozen yoghurt consistency
Roasted coconut ice cream with walnuts tastes so good! London fog is not really my cup of tea. Very busy here but the servers are friendly.
Delicious ice cream! I had hazelnut whiskey and london fog (both recommended by the staff) and both were amazing 😋
We got there before the rush, which can go around the corner. This has vegan ice cream option too. I enjoyed the ice cream
