La Casa Gelato

Cheers to interesting icecream flavors! ($ 5 for one scoop, $ 7 for 2 scoops on cone or bowl)
Everytime i go to vancouver i always pay this place a visit, just to try their new innovative ice cream flavors. They have over 200+ flavors in house to taste. From the usual flavors to interesting odd ones such as sourcream or coconut rice. Last time I came I had dragon fruit and kimchi, and my boyfriend tried peanut butter curry and jasmine tea. Interesting flavors right? The kim chi ice cream actually has kim chi bits and it actually does taste slightly spicy. I like how the ice cream isnt that sweet. They serve giant scoops too.

Yes, this is where the best ice cream in Vancouver is, hands down.
There’s always a constantly rotating array of familiar and strange flavors. They’ll have stuff you expect like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry… but what about durian, blue cheese, or chanterelle? Each time I visit, there is always something interesting and new to try. Particular highlights for me have been their basil and Pernod gelato, their chocolate sorbetto, and above all else, their grapefruit Campari sorbetto (one of the peak culinary experiences of my life, no question: please bring this back!)
They gouge a little on prices, but the quality backs them up, and you can sample a bit to explore the large range. And do explore: even their «wacky» flavors genuinely taste good, in my experience.
Warning: do not come here on a sunny (or worse, warm) weekend day. It is a Raft of the Medusa of children screaming for a sample, weary annoyed parents, and so packed you could crowd surf over it. I’d knock it down a star for these hair-​raising experiences, but the quality of what’s served won’t let me.
There is no place to sit down and eat inside, but there is a little garden next to the parking lot with benches.

One of my favorite places to get ice cream in Vancouver! Gotta try the la dua gelato! Their staff are really patient and nice. Good place!

I had visiting relatives from Seattle and weather it is summer or winter they always wanna go here to buy some goodies and have some scoop of ice cream… a place that offers morethan a hundred flavors… with free tasting too.
aside from ice cream and gelatos they also sell other stuff… nougets. canolas, cakes etc and im telling you guys this are addictive sweets… but really good
Free parking plus street parking, if im not mistaken this is a family owned business, service is always good… you buy your chip at the cashier $ 5 for 1 scoop of ice cream… a bit expensive but where can you have a free taste of tons of flavors…
Neat place, im a frequent in here and asalways the floor is clean and shiny… napkins are everywhere… no public washroom… decors are very colorful… those cones by the walls are so so nice to look at to… its like a wall to wall cones that serves as a decoration aswell… theres frames from few known places…
Pride of vancouver… one place where you can bring your friends from outside vancouver… a place where you can have good photos while enjoying your ice cream… nice place…

Fun place to check out. I usually bring friends and family around here if they’ve never been before, or if their from out of town. It’s one of those spots that everyone’s got to try.
The best part is the free samples. You as many flavours as you want, ranging from rice to curry to wasabi. It’s fun to come by and try it out, but I always recommend leaving with a cone of a guaranteed success like rocky road or chocolate chip cookie dough, because having a full cone of paprika just isn’t satisfying, haha.

All time most magical ice cream joint with over 200 flavors of ice cream. Forget about the price/​distance (price isn’t that bad).
You must come to this place at least once to try the assortments of gelato and ice-​cream ranging from the most exotic fruits such as durian to the simple vanilla.

Because the durian jackfruit is AMAZING!
Seriously, it’s about all I get from this place now, aside from the pear gorgonzola. They have an entire mountain of flavours for you to sample, from the generic (green tea) to the completely «eh… whut…» (garlic ice cream that tastes like actual garlic). You can sample around before you choose so it’s great for getting a taste of what you probably won’t get a full order of. Wasabi as an example.
Prices are kind of high but then again, that’s kind of expected since it’s such a touristy place. It’s always jam packed, but I try to go during quieter hours so that it’s easier to call the staff. They are always nice and willing to provide their opinion on the ice cream when it isn’t such a rush.
You should definitely check this place out at least once! Or be like me and come here once a few weeks or so haha :))

My 1900^th Unilocal Review!!!
La Casa Gelato is one of my «Can’t Miss» stops in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Here are my notes:
218 flavors available on display at all times! They have over 500 flavors in their repertoire.
Unlimited sampling which is awesome! Helps me decide what I want on my visits here.
Lots of erotic (I mean exotic) flavors that give pure pleasure to the tongue & taste buds! ;)
Peanut Butter Banana and a scoop of Apple Pie for me during my last visit. Both terrific!
Jackfruit and Mango Jackfruit for wifey. She loved them exotic flavors!
Lychee and Mango for her Aunt. Those are her two favorite flavors here.
No seating inside. Places to sit across the street which is what we did.
Pricey gelato, but worth every bit the price tag!
I absolutely love sampling all of their strange combination flavors! I would be a regular here if I lived in Vancouver! Wish they were in my hometown! I highly recommend visiting La Casa Gelato whenever you travel to Vancouver, BC Canada!!! You may find that you like them as well.

I simply love this popular ice cream vendor. Any time of the year any number of choices. Take your time and try before you buy… But be prepared to wait as they go from dead quiet to bus loads of peeps depending on time of day/​year/​week. Wonderful establishment.

Wow. .Over 200 flavors of gelato made on site!!! Its overwhelming… in a good way. Enjoyed trying their traditional, as well as novelty flavors such as durian and kim chi. Bonus: They even have a pog flavor !! :9.
Location is a bit out of the way but there’s plenty of free parking.
At times, it was hard to get the attention of the workers there both for samples and service tho. Probably because there were so many freezers in such a large space, and just 3 of them on a warm sunday afternoon. Definitely recommend a taste or two if you’re in the area!

Biggest draw here are the flavours (and eating almost a whole scoop in samples) but honestly, for the price i’d rather go to earnest or rain or shine. Ice cream here is quite icy and lacking in some flavour but it is a very large shop so its good for groups since it pleases many palates. Favourites here include the Ferrero and Tiramisu Cheesecake.

This gelato place have been around for a very long time. It started with less than 100 flavours to now over 200 different flavours. It’s crazy how they come up with these varieties. My hand-​down favourite is Death by Mango and Lychee! If you’re adventurous you must try their wasabi and durian flavours.

How do explain how amazing this place is… I don’t know lol. This place is awesome. Over 88 flavours of high quality gelato. They even had a durian flavour. Durian. DURIAN (I am an Asian, so I defiantly needed to try this)… The durian flavour tastes… I’m not gonna lie, it tastes like the real thing. Which is CRAZY AWESOME… The nice thing is that they also make there own waffle cones, and they taste great. And they use fresh, real ingredients.
Seriously, where else are you going to find a gelato shop that has over 88 flavours on site, makes their own waffle cones, and have a durian flavour. Made with real durian… I’m putting a close bet that there isn’t one near here. The staff is really friendly too, and they let you have free samples. Flavours are crazy, ritzy, and fun. This isn’t some cheap ice cream that’s hard as rocks. This ice cream is one of the best in Vancouver. I would defiantly recommend to a friend.

88 flavors of gelato! That’s right people, 88. EIGHTY EIGHT. 88. I must have spent about half an hour walking around this gelato parlor, trying samples and attempting the difficult task of choosing which flavor out of EIGHTY EIGHT that was going to get in my belly! The samples alone could have been entire serving. The staff here are really nice and they hand out samples with a smile.
They have the typical gelato flavors here, but with EIGHTY EIGHT choices, you also have some really unusual ones like kim chee, wasabi, durian, fruit cake, and even garlic! I tried some of these, and wondered if people actually order it, come to find out that the hubby ordered durian and loved it-​ughhhhh! I did NOT like the durian, but I guess to each his own. There is something for everyone here.
I finally decided to get dark chocolate hazlenut and I was more than happy with my choice. The gelato itself is great, with a creamy and semi-​firm consistency. You pre pay at the front for cup, come, single scoop, double scoop, etc. and you receive a colored token depending on what you order. When you are ready (because it might take you half and hour or more to decide, like me) you just hand anyone behind the counter your token and in exchange they hand you your delicious gelato! I’m telling you, it’s like the Disneyland of Gelato parlors. Not only is is great gelato, but it’s a fun experience. One last tip, don’t judge a book from its cover. The store front sports a tacky bright pink wall, with big asian writing on the sign (wait, I thought this was a gelato place, not the Chinese butcher that sells char siu in pink paper– you other Chinese know what I’m talking about!). Don’t let outer appearances fool you. This is a legit gelato parlor, with EIGHTY EIGHT flavors to choose from. I guarantee you will find something you love!

Ok so this may not be my idea of heaven, mostly because I get overwhelmed easily! But we were in the area recently, and Boyfriend had never been, and being a Vancouver institution I felt it was necessary to take him in! Ok, maybe he took me in… He REALLY loves ice cream!
We didn’t have a lot of time so we took a semi-​quick stroll around the cases and checked out the plethora of flavours. We sampled a few — cucumber vodka was pretty good, loved the chocolate bacon (but not for a whole cone), but the rest were a bit of a blur. We settled on Death by Mango and went to grab a chip. I like the payment system; it’s efficient and easy for the staff to follow.
We were handed a generous scoop (although not as large as some other places that also charge $ 5 for one scoop) and went merrily on our way. The mango was good, I enjoyed the bites I had but I don’t find myself blown away by the gelato here. Then again, there are so many flavours, perhaps I just haven’t found my lobster yet! …please don’t make a lobster flavour!!!

231 flavours to choose from as of March 2015. From garlic and vegemite to plains ol’ vanilla.
If it’s a sunny day you can sit outside in the park area across from the store bit the store self is standing room only.

The kids and I LOVE to go here for a treat. I can’t believe some of the flavours they come up with!
Our trip Sunday night did not disappoint!!!
The only thing keeping me from giving a five star is the price … At $ 5 for a single scoop I expect more than just a half cup scoop. Thus this place only being a treat and not a regular place to go for ice cream

I like coming here for the choices. But I sometimes find their ice cream a bit run down. It doesn’t have that strong flavor or the milky flavor. I ordered the mango durian and the coffee crisp. Before coming here I had in mind lychee flavor. Yes there was no lychee flavor. I got it last time I was here — oh well.
I liked the mango durian but the coffee crisp was ok. I tasted ice somewhere in between and this just mean they didn’t mix it properly.
I am giving it 4 stars for the flavor and really 3.5 for the taste.
This place is busy and you have to pay first and then get the ice cream. After you have paid, they will give you a chip. I like this idea (at least I know the person scooping ice cream is not handling cash as well (money is pretty dirty). As well, you get to taste the flavor before getting it and yes this is a plus as well.

218 flavors
Really creative flavors!
I opted for Mangosteen (which had nuts) and Hedgehog (which was like nutella/​hazelnut)
They had some gross flavors like «bacon and peanut butter»; some people liked it, but it made me want to puke. lol
They had classic flavors, but just a ton that I wanted to try but didn’t have enough belly space! I loved that they are generous with their samples though.
The cones were great too, but you can get a cup instead, if needed.
The ambiance was fun
I would put this on a list of places to try when you are in Vancouver :)

Every time when I’m in Vancouver, I have to come here at least one time. I don’t think there is anywhere else in this world where they have all the flavors you can ever think of all in the same place! Plenty of Asian flavors too, in fact, they have a whole section! With over 218 flavors on location, it will take you some time to decide on what to order because you’ll be sampling left and right! There’s no limit! From the standard flavors to weird stuff like Seaweed and Kimchi flavored gelato, this is certainly a unique gelato shop. Seaweed and Kimchi flavor is no bueno! I think weird flavors are there for people to sample. No one in their sane mind will get a whole scoop of that!
Go to the cashier, choose scoop size and pay for a token to purchase your gelato! Their Ferrero Rocher gelatos are damn good!
