Earnest Ice Cream serves creamy, inventive scoops with local, seasonal, and vegan options in a bright, buzzing Vancouver spot.
"Artisanal ice cream that actually makes you squeal with delight. Tahitian Vanilla, London Fog, Vegan Chocolate, and the total bombshell SALTED CARAMEL. Ugh. It's that dangerous mix of salty and sweet on a waffle cone. Pop an extra digestive enzyme and grab a pint for the road. Beware summertime line-ups though. Vancouverites are serious about their ice cream as they are about their lattes. Also, their trucks are sweeeeet." - SAD Mag
"Vancouver's best ice cream maker has four scoop shops around town—the one at 1829 Quebec Street is the largest and closest to downtown—and you can also find their flavors at local grocery stores and farmers markets. Rotating monthly options like Nanaimo bar and toasted marshmallow make up half the menu, while classic favorites like whiskey hazelnut, cookies and cream, and salted caramel (that work great for affogatos) are always available. The same goes for the coconut-milk-based vegan flavors, too, including a decadent vegan dark chocolate." - Amber Gibson

"GO HERE: for Earnest Ice Cream’s delightful ice cream and endearingly upbeat energy. Founders Ben Ernst and Erica Bernardi started Vancouver’s fastest-growing artisan ice cream company with a dream and a pushcart and have since expanded into four brick-and-mortar locations. ORDER THE: original hits, like the whiskey hazelnut or salted caramel, and seasonal flavors, like miso ginger or sour cherry goat cheese. The ever-expanding team goes for quality and diversity (there are plenty of vegan options) and folds in as many local ingredients as possible, like spruce buds. THE VIBE IS: cheerful and bright, with flavors of the day displayed on hanging clipboards. The staff seems truly happy to be there, swaying to the music as they scoop and graciously providing customers with plenty of samples before they buy. PRACTICAL STUFF: All four locations are open every day, from noon to 10 p.m. —Lindsay Anderson" - Condé Nast
