When you're searching for "ice cream near me" or "dessert near me" in Metro Vancouver, you're probably looking for more than just a scoop of vanilla. You want something memorable, made with quality ingredients, and worth the trip.

Metro Vancouver is home to many excellent ice cream shops, from artisan gelato makers to specialty soft serve cafés.


At The Praguery, we offer something a little different.

Instead of serving ice cream in a standard cone, we bake our signature chimney cakes (Trdelník) fresh to order, then fill them with our handcrafted soft serve, house-made sauces, and premium toppings. It's a dessert inspired by the streets of Prague and made fresh right here in British Columbia.


Why People Visit The Praguery

There are plenty of places to grab ice cream in Metro Vancouver, but our guests tell us they keep coming back because everything is made fresh.


Fresh Chimney Cakes, Baked to Order

Every chimney cake is hand rolled, coated in cinnamon sugar, and baked only after you place your order.

Unlike pre-made waffle cones, each chimney cake is warm, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and made specifically for you.


House-Made Ice Cream and Sauces

We make our desserts using real ingredients without artificial preservatives.

Many of our sauces and syrups are made in-house, including:

  • Pistachio Sauce

  • Chocolate Sauce

  • Salted Caramel Sauce

  • Strawberry Coulis

  • Mango Coulis

Because we make them ourselves, we can focus on flavour instead of relying on pre-made commercial products.


Signature Flavours Guests Love

Whether you're visiting for the first time or coming back for a favourite, some of our most popular creations include:

  • Chocolate Nutella Brownies

  • Pistachio

  • Mango

  • Strawberry Cheesecake

We also serve:

  • Vanilla Bean Gelato

  • Chocolate Gelato

  • Tiramisu Gelato

  • Caramel Gelato

  • Raspberry Sorbet (Vegan)

  • Mango Sorbet (Vegan)

If you're looking for dairy-free options, our fruit sorbets provide a refreshing alternative.

This post brought back memories of stumbling upon this tiny little shop in Kitsilano a few summers ago. I was just wandering around, trying to escape the heat, and I smelled the most amazing waffle cone aroma. It turned out to be this place, and they had a lavender honey flavor that was out of this world. It wasn't just sweet; it had this delicate floral note that was so refreshing https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/10/business/10poker.html?_r=10 I ended up going back there a couple of times during my trip, just for that one flavor. It’s funny how a simple scoop of ice cream can create such a strong, happy memory. I'm always on the lookout for places that really put care into their creations,…
