Reviews La Casa Gelato

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.

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.

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.
