Stopped by today and even tho it was packed it was totally worth it for my maple bacon ice cream. Soooooo good!!! ��
A gelato shop that is rare and amazing. With over 200 selections of flavors, ranging from different and unique tastebuds in your mouth - which are bizarre, exotic and typical. This place is a must see for both tourists and locals of Vancouver.
Ventured all the way to our favourite icecream shop for some treats. Picture here is the "nerdy cotton candy" flavour. I've never tried this one before but it's really good! I'd order it again.
Because of Covid, they limit number of people inside and not all flavours and no taste testing for a while. We went just after dinner and line up wasn't as busy that time.
How much ice cream is too much? Well, you really can never have too much ice cream. Came to La Casa Gelato for some ice cream to cool down in the hot summer. A little pink stand alone shop with over 200 flavors! And I counted...there really were over 200 flavors n the shop. . Other then ice cream, they have some sweet treats to offer as well.
This place has been a staple in my family and itself has become an acclaimed Vancouver tourist destination and it’s clear to see why. This parlour serves sorbet and gelato but serves over 210+ flavours at a time. You get a variety of flavours for all kinds of pallets. There’s traditional flavours such as chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, but there’s also balsamic vinegar, wasabi and sour cream. Because of this, you can easily feel overwhelmed and under pressure when choosing a singular flavour but a huge plus is that they allow you to taste as many flavours as you like before making your final selection in either 1, 2, or 3 scoops in a cup or a cone.
It is all about quantity over quality here. The place is chaotic, with most people sampling tens of gelato before deciding on one, it can be hard to get the servers attention if you need to ask questions.
Overall, it is a fun place to come and explore all the crazy flavors.

La casa gelato open it's only shop here in Vancouver. The building is so eye catching coz the painted all pink outside. When i came in, i surprised by how many ice cream and sorbet flavors their offer. According to information, it provide like more than 230 flavors. Some of the flavors are nice and some of them are weird. Some of the weird flavors are kimchi, vegemite, roasted garlic, licorice and many more. The servers also very helpful, they will help you to choose the one you like by giving you the tester you wish. Customer need to purchase the size of ice cream, cashier will give customer the coin according to the size and then give the coin to server and tell them what you want. After tasting many flavors, i decided to enjoy lemon creme de menthe which very sour but refreshing with choco and mint chips inside, and chocolate raspberry and tiramisu. This shop not provide seating area inside the shop, but outdoor across the road aside of the provided parking lot just for customers. Definetely place to visit when you in Vancouver.

This icecream shop has been in Vancouver for a long time. They sell 238 flavours in store with crispy waffle cones that they make in house. Cups are also available. I personally prefer waffle cones as I can eat and enjoy them. Cups will be thrown away eventually, but the prices of a cup and a waffle cone cost the same. Why not get the waffle cones?
First, you go into the shop, line up, pay for your orders, get a token from the cashier, browse on each freezer to look and try samples of the iceecream and then pick your favourite icecream. Finally, you can enjoy it.
The interior design here has been remained the same for so long but the theme totally matches the icecream shop. There were lots of flavours that you can't think of. You can try as much flavours as you like until you figure out which one you really want to eat. Sometimes I find that it is hard to choose what I like due to many options. Agreed?! :)
This is one of the best places to eat icecream in Vancouver. Local people or tourists can definitely come here and they would say "Wow! They have many flavours!"
There is street parking as well as a parking lot that is on the opposite side of the icecream shop. It is always good to come here with friends or family.
One of the oldest gelaterias in Vancouver (if not the oldest) is La Casa Gelato having been in business since 1982. This family-owned and operated gelateria is famous for their immense selection of flavours. To date, they have created 588 flavours with 238 on site at all times at their Venebales location. La Casa Gelato is a place where you get a gelato fix at most times of the day as they are open 365 days a year, 7 days a week from 11 am – 11 pm.
It's OK, the plentiful flavours allows kids to roam free and make decisions. But the quality does not meet what Vancouver can offer when it comes to premium gelato. I think less is more in certain contexts.
More kinds of gelato, sorbetto, and frozen yogurt than than you could ever imagine. Some amazing and creative flavours (aged balsamic vinegar, vegemite, strawberry and basil). Free taste samples and reasonable prices.
We came here for some gelato one night, and it had us coming back for more. On this trip, we tried the lychee, coconut red rice, and passionfruit chocolate flavours. All the flavours were good, nothing to complain about but the ultimate stand out was the coconut red rice. It was so delicious. We have literally called La Casa several times, made trips there just to get another taste of this amazing flavour. However, we have had no luck. When we catch word that they finally have that flavour again, we will definitely be racing down there and buying a litre of it!
This place is always busy, especially on hot days and nights. But the staff here are nice and willing to let you try whatever flavour you like. As for pricing, it is on the higher spectrum from gelato but you're paying for the popularity and exotic flavours.
This is grand! The pink building cannot be missed from afar and the selection of ice cream is hard to not be impressed. The ice cream was great: fresh, slightly chewy and not too sweet. What I liked the most was the cone: it is aromatic and so flavorful. There is complimentary parking just opposite the shop.
So many flavours to choose from. There are lots of flavours with same base and different toppings such as 10 chocolate and one with nuts, cookie Dough, chocolate chips etc.
lots of sorbet flavours too.
Due to covid they are not doing samples so you really need to be sure what you want from all the choices. You need to pay in advance and you will get a token. They do not have take credit card so make sure you have cash or debit.
Been in the city for 4 years and not sure how we missed this place. A must try place with lots and lots of options. Its a different experience to go and get your ice cream from this place. The staff is very accommodating and always smiling. Havent seen so many chocolate options at one place.. 😍
They have free parking right opposite the store and a nice little spot right beside it to sit and chill and have your ice cream & take some pics.
Just honestly super cool how many flavors there are here. The theme and colors are also super cute. The flavors are divided up into similarly themed sections so you aren't too overwhelmed by all 238. You pay first and get a cute little poker chip to redeem your order with so you can check out the selection first. Friendly service and lots of selection & variety & tasty gelato to boot!

La Casa Gelato on Venables has been a fixture in the Commercial Drive area. After many years of not stopping by, decided to check this place out again a couple of days ago. Nothing has changed! The decor is still bright, colourful and, basically kitschy, as it ever was. Reminded me of Cafe Calabria around Valentine's, except at Casa Gelato the senses overload is there all year round... This establishment is known for the - sometimes - 200+ flavours of ice cream and sorbetto available, and in the good old times you could ask for samples of each until you found the one you liked. That was then, not any more, although maybe if you ask kindly, you will get ONE sample. The other reason this place is famous for are the weird ice cream flavours (garlic, wasabi, to name a few). On this visit, not the case. Not really there to experiment this time around though, my choice was a coffee flavoured ice cream. Not really impressed with this one in particular, very bland. In any case, if you come to Commercial Drive, check this place out and hopefully you'll be happy with your choice. Service was very friendly, face mask not necessary. Parking just accross their building.
Goodness - 238 flavors!! Need I say more? Oh, the ice cream tastes superb, by the way. Americans - have cash handy, because they only take cash or Canadian debit cards. Good thing my Vancouver aunty was with me. 😉

Due to the pandemic, they had to reduce the number of flavors available and they don't do tasting of the flavors they have available. So for the flavors you're not familiar you sort of have to roll the dice there but there are still a lot of more common flavors available. I think they still taste the same since I was last here 2 years ago, before the pandemic and I think it's just the mystique of so much choices but when it comes to flavor definitely not the best i tasted but I would say it was at least better than good gelato/ice cream.
