The ice cream here was good. However, it was nothing to rave about. I got the London fog and mint. The mint definitely tastes better than London fog.
The portions are generous. I don't think I will come back the next time I'm in town. There are many other ice cream shops that I would want to check out instead.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 383732822Aug 11, 2023
We tried Rain or Shine at UBC last year and loved it. This time we decided to go to Rain or Shine on West 4th; we enjoyed the ice cream so much that we came back again the following week!
Raspberry Sorbet with Vegan Chocolate Sauce
Cracked Mint with Sprinkles
Vegan Delight
Cracked Mint and Vanilla Milkshake with sprinkles on top
They have all sorts of interesting flavors and combinations at this shop. The Make Your Own options are quite fun; I love that they even have some Vegan options on their menu! (Although I do wish they would put just a few more Vegan options on their menu)
Regardless of whether there is rain or shine outside, the yummy treats at this place are sure to bring a smile to your face!

I'm back in California but I'm still dreaming about the ice cream from Rain or Shine. My friend even tried to ask if we could order pints to take mail home, LOL!
We tried the flight of 4 scoops that included coffee toffee, London fog, cracked mint, and apple pie. Each flavor was super unique and you can tell that they spend a lot of time perfecting each flavor. The scoop sizes are also really generous for the price as well.
I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 359224126May 4, 2023
I normally don't get ice cream but my friend suggested this place. There were a couple people eating ice cream outside but then once I entered, a huge line formed behind me.
They let us try two samples. We then ordered 2 doubles which came out massive. Great service, great ice cream. I would come back again to try other flavors!
One thing to note is that my scoops were huge but then the people after me had someone else scooping and they weren't as big. Still a good size, but not as big as mine were.
2 doubles and 1 waffle cone came out to 15.5 + tax.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 24079Jul 23, 2022
@rainorshineyvr ft blueberry lime and strawberry earl grey (seasonal flavours)
We love the kits location with the nice little patio to enjoy the treats! Out of these two seasonal flavours, I personal prefer the one a little more, as I love and earl grey separately already and this combination was rich and aromatic. The blueberry lime was light and refreshing, but probably tasted more lime than blueberry. Also btw, tasting is back so if you can't choose, you can just kindly ask to try the flavours!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 15616Jan 11, 2023

This ice cream shop offers some interesting seasonal flavours however, vegan choices are very limited. The staff didn't know if the cones were dairy free or not.
Sorbet had a sticky , syrupy texture.
The scoop sizes were inconsistent.
The person helping me was friendly and tried to be helpful in spite of limited product knowledge. The person serving my friend was rude and impatient.
The offer a few outdoor places to sit but they are built into the street . I know this is common along 4th ave but between the exhaust and the noise it's not very pleasant. I'd recommend taking your ice cream to go.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alex C.Toronto, ON24195580Jun 18, 2023
Pros:
- Good selection of flavors including limited seasonal flavors.
- Flavors are good and not too sweet or strong.
Cons:
- Busy.
- Prices are a bit on the expensive side.
- Waffle cones were not super fresh.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 17, 2022
Creamy, perfectly textured ice cream with a variety of flavors! Rain or Shine is the spot to go to for anyone looking for a delicious scoop!
They have a variety of seasonal flavors that rotate monthly, but also a set menu of their fan favorites and classics like London fog, milk chocolate honeycomb, and cracked mint. Every scoop is satisfying in itself and always leaves me wanting more. My favorites to date are the London fog, matcha, coffee toffee, and their blueberry cheesecake when they have it.
They're super generous with their portion sizes and topping in the scoop itself. They also have a list of other ways to eat your ice cream like sundaes, which are divine, milkshakes, ice cream cakes, and more. Their waffle cones are made in house and are absolutely to die for! They have just the perfect buttery-ness to it !
They're always creating unique combinations of flavors and finding ways to improve! I highly recommend!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
