The sight of an ice-cream stand in the scorching summer sun is as beautiful as an oasis in a desert.
Whether it’s an ice-cream cone, a sundae with your favorite toppings, a popsicle, or a shake, everyone has their go-to orders. For some, it may be a Sunday treat, and for others, probably emotional support.
Regardless, ice cream never fails to fill your heart with contentment and your mouth with an explosion of taste. Here are a few ice-cream stops to check out around the Lower Mainland for a sweet treat this summer.
Baskin-Robbins
One of the largest frozen dessert chains, Baskin-Robbins has satisfied its customers for more than 65 years with its ice cream, frozen treats, and creamy beverages. With multiple stores across Canada, Baskin-Robbins is always a quick find that never disappoints.
Amongst their variety of options, Baskin-Robbins sells delicious ice-cream cakes, so get one for your ice cream-loving friend and make their birthday more special with this creamy and cold treat. The retailer also offers dine-in and takeout ordering options. Seating in the outlets is relaxed and calm, with the aroma of many flavours filling your lungs.
If you’re looking for a place to go on a date or a spot to hang out with your friends, find your nearest Baskin-Robbins to enjoy their various frozen desserts.
Do you want to go authentic and traditional with your frozen treats? Well I’ve got you. The Praguery food truck located at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet in Richmond has been serving the best soft serve in the city with a variety of rich and tasty flavours.
Their chimney cakes, a Transylvanian treat dating back to the 17th century, are hand rolled, freshly baked, and stuffed with soft serve or a side of whipped cream. Whichever option you choose, you are going to fall in love with The Praguery after the first bite.
For those who want to level up their coffee game, The Praguery offers a vanilla soft serve topped with a double shot of hot espresso. This treat will hit all the right buttons and recharge you for the day.
They also serve dairy-free and vegan options, hence making it a go-to place for everyone. Their latest limited-edition Ferrero Rocher flavour is my favourite and a must-try for everyone with a sweet tooth.
White Rock ice-cream shops
The beachside is always a hub for the best ice-cream spots. Take your pick of various gelato, frozen yogurt, or popsicle options and enjoy it while taking a walk along the White Rock pier in the south of Surrey. The blasts of flavours and cool breeze is the perfect way to spend a hot summer day.
You can also find shops selling delicious ice-cream cones and beach gear to enjoy your time near the water. From the delicious frozen desserts to the beautiful scenery, your visit to White Rock will make for a lasting memory.
