Foodie Experiences
Vancouver's beloved small-batch ice cream in reusable glass jars, a short stroll from the Olympic Village seawall.
Olympic Village, southeast False Creek
More infoEarnest Ice Cream started as a bicycle-and-a-dream operation in 2012 and grew into the scoop Vancouver quietly name-drops to visitors. Everything's small-batch and grown-up: whiskey hazelnut, salted caramel, London fog, sold in glass jars you return for a deposit, which is peak Vancouver. The Quebec Street shop sits just up from the southeast False Creek seawall, so a scoop slots neatly onto the end of a waterfront walk.
Stop into Earnest, take a taster of whatever seasonal flavour is on, and grab scoops or a jar to go, ideally the reusable glass kind you bring back for the deposit. Carry it the short block down to the southeast False Creek seawall by Olympic Village and eat it looking across the water at the downtown skyline. About thirty minutes, and a lovely, low-key way to let a waterfront evening wind down.
