First time here and I will come back Everytime I want ice cream!! Holy cow its amazing!! If you havent tried this place it is a must. And of your coming through town please make this one of the have to stop at places!! Thanks guys for making this mamas night after leaving a DV relationship a great night for us.
The style of ice cream is more of an ice milk consistency. I had they honey vanilla. I didnt really taste any honey notes, and the mouth feel of the ice cream was watery/icy then a small amount of butterfat. I prefer thicker custards with some density, so this wasnt for me, but if you would like some homemade ice cream for a local shop, check it out!
I recently had them cater an event I was putting on. They were very professional, efficient, flexible, and of course the ice cream was delicious. I highly recommend them if youre putting on an event or just want to shop at a local store run by some great people!
We havent been here for over a year. They dont have a picture gallery anymore, but the decor looks good. They always have a few new flavors, making it hard to decide what to try. Their honey vanilla is a must, tho.
My dog loves ice cream and his birthday was the perfect excuse to try an ice cream shop even in cold, wet January. The ice cream was great! Dont overlook the honey vanilla. Its so much more than it sounds. It was sweetened just right and delicious. Covid precautions are in place including one way traffic, masks, and contactless order pick ups. Outdoor seating has shelter from the rain and we enjoyed ourselves
The service was friendly but unfortunately the Ice Cream itself was not that good. We tried two different flavors and both of them tasted like lightly flavored ice crystals. It was more like a cross between a shaved ice and ice cream.
Went with my gf. Got vegan/dairy-free ice cream. Was AMAZE BALLS. def worth the wait. There was a bunch of cute kids out front drawing with chalk.A very safe environment.
We enjoyed our sundae and milkshake. Line was out the door and we ordered & had our treats within 20 min. Great stop for a tasty ice cream treat.
Delicious ice cream and coffee! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Friendly staff and water available after you get thirsty from the ice cream.
Some of the best ice cream we’ve ever had! My wife absolutely loves the honey vanilla and for me, their peanut butter ice cream together with chocolate ice cream are the best.
Great little place. We order a chocolate, banana shake, and hot fudge sundae. A bit pricey, but super good. Staff was very friendly, and helpful.
Took as at closing and had amazing ice cream. We ended up helping with taking the chairs in. Recommend it to everyone because the employees are awesome. Keep it up and be an example.
Some of the best shakes around. Ice cream is top notch 👌 😋
Great small business. Nice atmosphere games to play with friends staff was very nice.
It is not creamy ice cream, it has more of an ice milk consistency. Not bad if that is what you want.
Very nice local place, great flavors. Especially liked the coffee, the chocolate and the cookie and cream. They were out of the seasonal Nutella which would have been likely amazing as well. Great location just across the river from north east Portland, roomy inside, and they have outside seating
Delicious ice cream flavors. Very nice staff. Even when the lines are long (for very good reasons) service is swift.
I am very Impressed! Love soooo much❤️
Everyone was super nice mad the prices were on par with other shops. I felt like the ice cream was ‘icier’ than normal. They also messed up on my order but I did ask for something custom.
Very nice local ice cream shop. Plenty of sitting area inside. Some sitting area outside as well. Flavors are not as unique as what I am accustomed in Seattle ice cream scene but this place offers good quality ice cream. I liked the waffle bowl. They can make ice cream shake which is a plus. Price was also good. Family friendly, enough space to bring strollers inside.
I wasnt excited about waiting in line, but Im glad I did. The staff was friendly and helpful. The selection was great, diverse, and fun. We were there on Saturday evening and it was fun to stroll along Main street watching cool cars cruise by
They have the BEST ice cream in Vancouver by far! There are many flavor options and other desert options. The staff is very friendly. The only thing I dislike is how they’re using plastic bowls to serve costumers in. They should be suing washable bowls like they used too. Or ask costumers if they want it there or to go. But overall a great ice cream shop. Definitely recommend👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Got the indecisive ice cream treat where they decide for you and boy did they deliver! Was a magical and very large creation. Staff was super nice as well.
Got the banana split and the whipped cream tasted wrong and made my tongue tingle weirdly. Ice cream isnt great either.
Perfect in every way! This ice cream shop is the best I think Ive ever been to. The atmosphere was great, and the ice cream some how even better! It tasted like homemade ice cream I used to eat when I was little. I cant wait to come back, Im already thinking of excuses to! If you love ice cream and you dont come here you are seriously missing out.
We popped in 10 min to closing with 6 people. They were super nice and accommodating. LOVE THIS PLACE!
Like always amazing, this last time I got a banana split and its been a minute since I had one and let me tell you DELISH! my go to is Mt. St Helens for my family and i, thats is also amazing. Try it! you wont regret it.
My husband and I enjoy coming here, the ice cream is so good!! Prices are decent. Friendly staff. Parking can be kind of a pain, but thats downtown Main street for ya.
Hands down some of the best ice cream ever! Fast and friendly service, good prices and great portions. Highly recommend
Awesome Ice Cream! Friendly staff. Kai was super friendly and helpful.
As a peanut butter connoisseur, their peanut butter bars and peanut butter blitz flavor of ice cream were heavenly. My service was exceptional and my payment was contactless. Flawless dessert experience.
Fantastic food, and even more amazing customer service!
Great ice cream. I especially love the fact they have a peanut butter flavor on the regular.
We ordered online to save time and avoid the line but after I waited in line to tell the staff I was here to pick it up I was told that they would have to get everyone elses order completed first before they could start on my order. Whats the point of offering an online system of ordering if there is no advantage. I asked the server how much longer and I got a blank stare. I love your ice cream and would never complain however this is BAD service and poor business practice. Please fix your system so I wont have anything bad to say about your wonderful ice cream.
Ice cream was good but nothing i would drive out of my way for.
Since its inauguration into the downtown area, Ice Cream Renaissance has never failed to delight with new and exciting flavors and combinations.
Ordered 2 pints of ice cream and 12 cones to bring to a birthday party, was a hit.
This place is amazing! Its in such a cute part of Vancouver, has unique AND delicious flavors, has great employees, and has the best menu! Go with the indecision to share. Its a blast for date night! Or go simple with the honey vanilla. Vegan options available!!
Ice cream was great! Coffee flavor was amazing. Kid loved the cookies and cream! Thumbs up!
Vegan ice cream was the consistency of a smoothie. And he charged me 2 bucks extra for two empty sugar cones to fill with this very expensive smoothie .will not return.
I have been enjoying ICR for almost 10 years. They make small batch ice cream with local ingredients and it has that delicious old school homemade vibe. If ice cream isnt your thing, they have a dessert case with yummy brownies, cakes, and pies from local bakeries. They also buy their coffee from a Vancouver roaster. This ice cream shop is welcoming, family friendly, and community focused.
We visited on a Friday evening after dinner for a dessert treat. We both had the chocolate love affair.Definitely did not live up to the hype.The shop was clean and looked nice, and the staff were friendly if not very engaged.The ice cream itself was a definite disappointment. It had small lumps of frozen milk or water in it that made for a very unpleasant mouth feel, like grains of partially cooked rice that would then melt.The flavour was also disappointing; as a big dark chocolate fan, I found the actual taste to be pretty weak rather than deep and rich. Just not much actual chocolate flavour, presumably due to whatever cocoa they use; when I make it at home, I use Ghiradellis Majestic, myself, and get a much richer taste.Definitely would not recommend.
Handmade, locally sourced artisan ice cream, in a variety of flavors (all delicious) and in a variety of ways to enjoy it. Scoop? Cone? Special combination? All awesome.Or choose to leave it to the server for a custom creation. The one my late wife and I enjoyed on our first anniversary was an amazing ice cream burger with banana fries, and capped an amazing night out for us.Do yourself a favor and go here now!
Delicious small batch ice cream. They have a couple of vegan flavors too, which is nice! Cute place and polite staff too.
Super good! Awesome presentation! Great customer service, these guys know about delivering to each customer!
Great staff! Treated two 7 year olds very special. Amazing ice.. worth a 4 hour drive!
Delicious seasonal ice creams and great customer service!
Very good and reasonable prices. Cool factor too.
Great spot with some fun flavors! The Peanut Butter one is AMAZING!
Best Ice cream in the PNW, I had my first ice cream at their old place. No contest, enough said.
Their vegan ice cream is PHENOMENAL! One bite and I was hooked!
Really good ice cream made in house
Love the variety of ice cream flavors and designed creations. They also have gluten free types for those needing them. The people are friendly and attentive if you need anything.If you have not tried it yet you need to add a stop here and enjoy.
Their honey vanilla ice cream is my favorite ice cream flavor ever. It is always so delicious and perfect. I love getting it with the brownie sundae or in a milkshake. They have so many other great flavors as well and we love coming here year round for a treat.
Ice cream is amazing. Strawberries and cream milkshake is the best!! So is the vanilla ice cream.
Ice Cream Renaissance tastes fresh and homemade. In addition, they have interesting flavors to offer! They change their set every so often. I remember having an Easter malt flavor a year or two ago and that was the best ice cream experience Ive ever had, I dont think Ill forget that. I went here with my sister the other day to get us both Cookie Dough Vinci and it was delectable, notably creamier than their other flavors. Honestly, this is my favorite local place to get ice cream; I like it even better than Portlands famous Salt and Straw.
Ahh, average ice cream in an area with great ice cream shops.
Ive been here twice and each time it was amazing. Hands down best ice cream evvva. 🍦
Good ice cream and they have dairy-free options (usually one or two) which are pretty good. My issue with this place is they are always packed, so service takes a while, and they are a bit expensive (even for downtown). But if you are downtown and in desperate need of something sweet, it definitely works.
This is an upscale chocolate place. Not just tasteful but very well executed. For example, some chocolate cake I had had the bottom base made of solid chocolate, to give the cake some stability. But to avoid making it bland, that base was well mixed with nuts to make it very tasteful.Then, for your mocha, you can choose the chocolate flavor.Lots of small details in the food that really make you appreciate these folks
I was really looking forward to enjoying Fantasy Cake, but they were out.
Great find in Vancouver! Just moved here and noticed them while riding by on my bike exploring the neighborhood. Made it a point to go back and today was the day. I bought 3 different flavors in the pint size. Took a taste of each when I got home and all are splendid. I can tell the ingredients are high quality. There is not an excess of sugar to mask the flavor of the ingredients. The POM (Peach, Orange, Mango) Sorbet is refreshing and the natural fruit ingredients shine through. Ill take high quality over additives and extra sugar any day. This place is fantastic!
Well definitely be back!
Good ice cream, not as wide a selection as some but everything we had was very good.
Super nummy. A bit expensive but worth it.
This is the hub for my man & i. With flavors changing according to season, paired with the long time familiar faces who serve u, its an incredibly pleasant experience, EVERY time. Dont get me started on their brownie dish they have 🖤 uggh, u guys are friggin sweet ;p
Excellent ice cream!
Best ice cream in Vancouver! I love their classics and their more inventive options. They are a wonderful part of the community. I recommend a cookies & cream milkshake, the Dr Chocolate sundae, or any of their fresh seasonal flavours.
Was looking for a last minute place for some ice cream with my wife on our weekend getaway. Found the usual suspects on google at first. Scrolled down a bit and found this place. Read the menu and immediately drive over here. When you enter the atmosphere is very calm and inviting. They provide a very reasonable sample of their flavors. The ice cream is amazing and made in small batches. You can not duplicate this flavor anywhere else. The bowls of ice cream specialties are unforgettable. We will visit here any opportunity that brings us this way. A must visit! Prices for sizes and specialty were so good it surprised us. Worth every penny. They also have a stamp card. Win! Win!
Super nice staff with great service!
My favorite ice cream place ever. Also: milkshakes, coffee, tea, baked goods, sundaes. They have vegan gluten free options, too! You seriously can’t tell that the vegan ice cream is vegan. It’s all amazing.Some of their ice cream flavors are more on the light/icy side (not too much tho!) I personally love that! Other flavors are more creamy! Like their “bittersweet chocolate” flavor is more icy than their other chocolate flavor. Just ask for samples, find what you like ;). This is a small business that is worth supporting. They also have board games. It’s a great, quiet place to hang out with friends. 🍦🍦💕
Cute place with very good ice cream. They even have some dairy free/vegan options.
This place has the best ice cream in town!
Great place for Ice Cream on a hot summer day.... very friendly and free water!!!!!!!!
Very good selection of Ice cream. Very delicious!
While the ice cream was decent Im very disappointed in the serving.If youre going to advertise a pint as a small Im going to expect a pint..not two little, half melted scoops....for $8 I should have just got a tub of Tillamook!
Friendly staff. Ice cream dishes are ok.
The milkshakes here are fantastic!
