Elephant Garden Creamery

Elephant Garden Creamery is a standout artisanal ice cream destination on Commercial Drive, celebrated for its creative, small-batch scoops that bridge traditional techniques with bold Asian-inspired flavors.

Founded by siblings Betsy and Bruce Ng, the shop evolved from a popular farmers’ market cart into a tranquil brick-and-mortar sanctuary in East Vancouver.

Every batch is crafted with natural ingredients and a food-science-backed approach to texture, resulting in signature offerings like the cult-favorite Mango Coconut Sticky Rice, Hong Kong Milk Tea, and Vietnamese Coffee.

The shop’s minimalist, zen-like interior provides a calming backdrop for experiencing their inventive rotating menu, which features everything from floral oolong teas to savory-sweet durian.

Whether you’re stopping in for a tasting flight of four flavors or a “mini double” scoop in a fresh waffle cone, the creamery emphasizes a balanced sweetness that lets the high-quality ingredients shine.

As a fixture of “The Drive,” Elephant Garden Creamery remains a beloved local “safe haven” for dessert enthusiasts looking for a multicultural twist on classic frozen treats.
