La Glace, je t’aime. What started as casual flirtation with a charming little ice cream cart has blossomed into serious dessert love as Vancouver hearts melt over the city’s newest ice cream parlour and salon de thé. “All things are better when shared with someone cherished” is the La Glace mantra that adorns the front window in gold lettering. It captures the ethos at the heart of pastry chef Mark Tagulao’s now-realized dream of opening a space in which friends, family, and loved ones could relish in sweet fairytale indulgence. La Glace officially opens today, scooping up French-style ice cream in the heart of Vancouver’s West Side.

“I’ve been making ice cream since I was a little kid,” says Tagulao, founder and culinary director of La Glace. “Ice cream is connected to every childhood celebration that I can remember.”

La Glace ice cream is rich and luxurious, made in the French method with cream, egg yolks, and sugar using minimal aeration. Time-honoured flavours such as Ganache made with dark Valrhona chocolate and Crème de la Crème infused with fragrant vanilla bean are mainstays, while tempting limited-time offerings may include Bananes Foster (roasted banana rum cream, toffee, and cinnamon); Matcha Noir (green tea with a black sesame swirl); and Café à la Lavande (coffee with a hint of lavender). Tagulao focused on creating this same creamy texture when developing the three vegan flavours made with house-made cashew milk or coconut milk: Chocolat à la Menthe (mint cream and dark chocolate flecks); Chocohuète (peanut butter and dark chocolate; and Coco Pandan (pandan-infused coconut cream). Visitors delight in choosing decadent in-house pastry and confection toppings for their personalized creations served in cups or cones.

Scoops are priced at $5.50 for one, $7.50 for two, and $8.50 for three. Upgrade from a standard wafer cone to a house-made waffle cone based on Tagulao’s family recipe for $1.50.

La Glace Ice Cream is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm and is centrally located at 2785 West 16th Avenue.

About La Glace Ice Cream: All things are better shared with someone cherished – La Glace Artisanal Ice Cream is meticulously handcrafted in the French method by Vancouver pastry chef Mark Tagulao. Each detail of the parlour and salon de thé was thoughtfully designed with the hope of connecting people with one other. La Glace offers scoops of sorbet along with dairy and vegan ice cream in a cup or cone; parfaits with seasonal and gourmet toppings; and artisanal pastry pairings including cookies, macarons, and profiteroles. Open Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 pm to 10:00 pm, La Glace is located in the heart of the West Side at 2785 West 16th Avenue (16th and Macdonald—where Point Grey meets Kitsilano and Arbutus Ridge).

Summer Heats up with the Return of BETA5 Chocolates’ Summer Ice Cream Socials. With the arrival of summer comes the much anticipated, ‘Ice Cream Social’ season at BETA5. This year there is even more to enjoy, as the weekly Saturday socials are complemented by a series of pop-up ice cream socials hosted by friends of BETA5, in and around the city.

SATURDAY, ICE-CREAM SOCIALS:

BETA5 Chocolates
Every Saturday until September 30 | 1pm to 5pm | 413 Industrial Ave, Vancouver
Enjoy a new sundae every week, hand-created by the talented BETA5 team. The fine dining background of the team is evident in this season’s slated ice cream sundae line-up: Mimosa, Green Tea Latte, S’more, Melon Fro-yo, Black Sesame & Grape, Apple Pie, Mint Chocolate Chip, Raspberry Earl Grey, Peach Cobbler and more. Their quirky sundae ideas, like Mango Bubble Tea, and masterful execution makes each and every ice cream social a taste expedition.

Not only are all the ice creams and toppings made in-house, each weekly sundae is crafted with special attention to flavour, contrasting textures, and nostalgia. For example, the delectable S’more sundae is made up of a 66% dark chocolate ice cream (created with the custom BETA5-Valrhona chocolate), a ceylon cinnamon ice cream, graham cracker macaron – filled with a burnt cinnamon ganache, and toasted house-made marshmallows. BETA5 sundaes are an out-of-this-world taste experience offering an elevated take on your most deeply held ice cream sundae memory.

WEEKLY INSTAGRAM CONTEST:
BETA5 is bringing back their “weekly repost” Instagram contest.
To enter snap a picture at a weekly ice cream social and post to Instagram by the following Thursday, tagged with #beta5icecreamsocial (or DM direct to BETA5Chocolates). Weekly winners will be announced every Friday and will receive a $25 gift card and the chance to win the end-of-the-season grand prize.

The last ice cream social will be held on September 30th and the flavour of the last sundae will be chosen by the grand prize winner of the summer-long contest. This is fan-driven ice cream at its finest, and a chance for the loyal weekly ice cream followers to get one more taste of one of the season’s top sundaes.
