3382 Cambie Street, Vancouver (Cambie Village)
In Vancouver especially, regardless of weather, ice cream is always a good idea. Rain or Shine Ice Cream, with locations in Cambie Village and Kitsilano, is a neighbourhood shop that serves up homemade ice cream in various delicious flavours. The brightly lit shop with cute ice cream wallpaper and decals is aesthetically pleasing and perfect for your Instagram feed (if you're into that, like me)! I went with my sisters to compare how Rain or Shine measured up against Earnest ice Cream, another ice cream heavyweight in the city. We had London Fog, Honey Lavender, and a summer seasonal flavour Passionfruit Ale, which is a beer flavour from Bomber Brewing. For my Passionfruit Ale flavour, it was something different and very refreshing for a hot summer day. It was very fruity with not much taste of alcohol, which I am torn on. On the one hand, I feel like there should be a little taste of alcohol, but at the same time I feel like I can live without it. Regardless, it was delicious and a flavour that epitomizes summer in Vancouver. As for the other two flavours (London Fog and Honey Lavender), they were also good but a little on the sweet side. The Honey Lavender was especially on the sweet side, which was a little too much for me. I will say that their waffle cones (which you can watch them make in the back) are amazing - they aren't overly sweet, which I guess balances out their sweet ice cream, and has jut the right amount of crunch. Rain or Shine is a nice switch up from my usual run to Earnest, boasting some different and unique flavours. They also have milkshakes, multiple sundae combinations, and Taco Tuesdays, where their waffle cones turn into taco shaped cones, which look amazing.
