Rain or Shine Ice Cream

The 38 Essential Vancouver Restaurants

"Back on the list for another summer season, Rain or Shine is a harbinger of good times and crisp waffle cones down on English Bay. The Philadelphia-style ice cream (made without eggs) features milk from Birchwood Farm in Abbotsford, along with other local ingredients like oil from Vancouver Olive Oil Company, raw honey from the North Okanagan, and lavender from neighbouring Maple Ridge. You won’t find any soy, corn syrup, modified milk ingredients, or artificial extracts and flavors. Stand back, momentarily stress over what flavor you want (including plenty of vegan and gluten-free options), then enjoy your prize while perched on a beach log as the waves lap the shore." - Nikki Bayley
