We All Scream for....Gelato
Baskin and Robbins 52 flavors has nothing on La Casa Gelato, which has 218 flavorsof ice cream ready for you to taste. Yes thats right, I said 218! But they actually have upwards of 500 flavors in their facility.
Can you imagine having that much delicious ice cream at your disposal? I don't know about you, but I am glad that the summer weather has finally arrived in Vancouver, so I can start sampling the delicious concoctions that La Casa makes.
Flavors such as dandelion, wasabi-green apple, asparagus, pear and gorgonzola - are all waiting for you to try. Bet your mouth is watering right now.
This place is definitely not for the weak or generic ice cream taster. If vanilla is your favorite, you will probably have some experience some form of sensory overload. So I suggest all you vanilla heads stay home, and let the more adventurous ones enjoy this treat. Vanilla equals killjoy.
I am headed over there this afternoon, maybe I will run into you.
