Rain or Shine Ice Cream
Rain or Shine Ice Cream is a Kitsilano institution making small-batch, scratch ice cream from BC dairy sourced exclusively from Birchwood Dairy Farm in Abbotsford, with flavours built around locally and organically sourced ingredients like Okanagan honey, Surrey blueberries, and Vancouver-roasted espresso. Founded by a couple inspired by artisan ice cream encountered while travelling, the shop now operates three Vancouver locations, with this one sitting directly on West 4th Avenue—one of the city's busiest cycling corridors. The entirely egg-free base, rotating seasonal menu, and dedicated vegan options make it a distinctive treat stop rather than a generic chain.
