Who says ice cream is only for sunny days. With 365 days of the year, it mostly rains in Vancouver but ice cream is so delicious, you can have it any time of the year. There’s a new shop called Rain or Shine Ice Cream close to West 4th and Burrard.

On Tuesday, they sell ice cream tacos. It looks pretty awesome. But, since it was a weekend when we visited, it wasn’t available. They also have sundaes and shakes.
There’s not a lot of seats inside, but you might get lucky. When we came around noon, it wasn’t busy at all. Which is perfect for us cause we then occupied all the seats.
After sampling a few flavours, I really had a clear favourite.
Peanut Butter (1 scoop- $4.50) was so good. I really like peanut butter. The ice cream was smooth but I did find a few ice crystals inside of it.
Overall, the nice place to grab some ice cream on a day that is either rainy or sunny.
