Free Things to Do in Vancouver This Summer
Vancouver Tourism: Things to Do
One of my favorite places to go to in the summer is an ice cream
parlour in
Vancouver. I would like to introduce you to La Casa Gelato which is an
amazing
"ice cream wonderland." It is the only ice cream place in the world
that has 218 flavours of ice cream!
When you step into this clean, spacious store your unforgettable
experience
begins. Three sides of the store are occupied by freezers containing
buckets of
ice cream flavours you have only ever dreamed about—combinations such
as
pineapple/poppy seed, double chocolate chip cookie dough, espresso and
cola to
name just a few. For the more adventurous, there are flavours like
garlic, kim
chi, green tea and chilli to awaken your taste buds.
The friendly servers are scurrying around filling orders and responding
to
requests to taste the various flavours. You can try out as many
flavours as you
like before settling for the scoop of your choice.
Then comes the other big decision you have to make -will you have your
ice
cream in a bowl or a freshly made cone? If you choose the cone, again
you have
to pick the one you fancy. The waffle cones are made on site behind the
cash
counter. You can see and smell them being expertly and lovingly
prepared.
If you are ever looking for an extraordinary ice cream experience, head
over
to La Casa Gelato.
