kercheFebruary 22, 2014Top notch ice cream! Lived up to its Urbanspoon ratings. I had the Salted Caramel & London Fog flavours. My brother enjoyed his Whiskey Hazelnut flavour. Cannot wait to be back & get a pint!Upvote4Downvote- Johnny WangMay 13, 2017Hipster ice cream, but fantastic ice cream. Not overly sweet, yet still rich, creamy, and delicious. Try their London Fog and Serious Chocolate! Mind that the waits can be fairly long, however.Upvote2Downvote

Chris HaubrichMay 20, 2014I knew this place was going to have great ice cream but I was surprised how subtle the sweetness was. Pleasantly surprised! Beware: this ice cream is filling. Coffee was great too!UpvoteDownvote
r bDecember 25, 2014What more is there to say than Gingerbread ice cream. Spectacular flavour, a spice explosion and chunks of ginger...a heavenly holiday treat. Thank God I don't live next door!Upvote1Downvote
Hot fudge sundae is a winner. Get it to stay so there is nothing to throw away. The lineup is sometimes legendary, but if you are there for pints, there is a separate queue. Reusable containers.UpvoteDownvote- LloydAugust 7, 2014Go early to avoid long lineups. Bring back your old Earnest Jars to get $1 off your next pint. 33 acres of malt and whiskey hazelnut are my favorites.UpvoteDownvote
Le JordanJanuary 17, 2018Best ice cream in Canada. Made with quality, local ingredients. You can taste the difference. Amazing customer service as well.UpvoteDownvote
Best ice cream in Vancouver. Whisky Hazelnut and Maple Walnut are must tries.
UpvoteDownvote- Jenna AmundsonJuly 12, 2014If you're with a friend and don't mind the germs, get 2 scoops in a cup for $7 instead of paying $5 each. They'll give you two spoons and it's super romantic...Upvote1Downvote
Dilara 🐰August 25, 2013Tried the salted caramel & vegan lemon (made with coconut milk) - both excellent.Upvote3Downvote
Ashley MowreyAugust 13, 2016I wanted to like this place, well, because everyone else is obsessed, but they use corn syrup in their ice cream, and artificial flavors. My take home pint was also iced over.UpvoteDownvote
Spruce Tip, it comes for a limited time every May. My favourite ice cream on the planet.Upvote1Downvote- Jenna AmundsonJuly 12, 2014Lavender was perfect, not at all "perfumey" which was my fear. Sweet and creamy with a lovely herby South of France appeal.Upvote1Downvote
Robin HwangSeptember 5, 2014Only open Thursday through Sunday from 12pm - 10pm. No lines at 930pm, perfect for post dinner treat!

Rachel KDecember 24, 2013Hands down favourite ice cream place in Vancouver. Casual, friendly atmosphere. Delectable seasonal flavours!!Upvote1Downvote
Their chocolate ice creams are very good. Don't bother with a sundae, just go for the double scoop instead. Same price, better resultUpvoteDownvote
Whiskey Hazelnut is the best!! I also love the strawberry rhubarb!

Earnest takes the things we love and turns them into ice cream. I mean, whisky hazelnut? Ridiculously good.Upvote3Downvote

Tara St LaurentSeptember 12, 2016It can be very busy, expect a wait for scoops. It's worth it though!UpvoteDownvote
