The best places to get soft serve ice cream in Vancouver
When it comes to ice cream, we don’t discriminate, but we do have our own favourites that we’re more than willing to share.
While traditional hard ice cream always does it for us, sometimes there’s nothing like a cone (or a cup!) of creamy soft serve.
Put it in a dipped cone, a waffle bowl, a cup, or between two freshly baked cookies and make it a sandwich ā we have no complaints.
