Sweet Barrel Creamery and Coffee Roasters

I couldn't resist giving this place a try after seeing it make waves on popular ice cream lists in the city. Coffee and ice cream? A combination that had me intrigued. While I wouldn't go so far as to proclaim it the absolute best, there were certainly some noteworthy elements to appreciate.The flavor profile of the ice cream, along with its light and creamy texture, caught my attention. I opted for the HK Milk Tea with the Creamsicle, a delightful choice that perfectly suited the sunny day. The unique flavors they offer are quite enticing, and I must admit, I do wish they allowed sampling so that customers can explore the array of options.All in all, while it may not have reached the pinnacle of ice cream greatness for me, I still found enjoyment in certain aspects of the experience. With their intriguing flavors and pleasant creaminess, this place is worth a visit for ice cream aficionados looking for something a little different.

Fantastic place to relax my Sunday afternoon!First time coming to the cafe place, and immediately fell in love with this cozy and clean environment!The staff are very friendly and nice, the cashiers greeted my girlfriend and I as soon as we stepped in the cafe with sunshine smiling, and did not rush us while we are thinking what to order.One of the girls started recommending us what to order by asking questions (and it is great that they don’t make assumptions :) )The music is at an adequate volume level, and the dessert is great !I’ll definitely come back again as everything is just “right”~~ LoL.

This is a nice modern coffee shop in the Arbutus/12th neighborhood. They roast their own coffee beans and they are not shy about it as their roasting machine is right at the front of the shop for everyone to see. The smell of coffee roasting is so wonderful and toasty especially on a cold day.There's a big communal table in the middle of the shop and also a long counter by the window. The shop is quite cozy with warm lighting. It was not too busy late the afternoon so we were able to relax and enjoy our visit.We were able to try the latte and chocolate croissant. The latte had a nice strong kick to it and not very acidic. We were hoping to try a mocha but didn't see it on their menu. The chocolate croissant was indeed quite chocolatey compared to other places.You can buy their roasted coffee beans for $12 a bag. They got quite a bit of beans to choose ranging from decaf to espresso roasts.Oh yes, they also serve ice cream too. We didn't get to try ice cream today as it was too cold, but when it warms up, we will certainly come back to try ice cream.

Ive been visiting this place every time I'm around, my Vancouver top 3 coffee place, LOVE LOVE LOVE and the owners are super nice and friendly! A very cozy, clean and cute coffee shop, if you are a picky coffee lover u won't go wrong with this one

I had arrived after the closing hours but the owner was kind enough to let me in. 5 stars just for that. The interior is one of the most quirkiest I have seen. It's a must see! The owner packed up some fresh beans even after closing hours and I also got Hario v60 filters . Decently priced and a must visit for your coffee fix. The owner is very well versed with the roasting techniques and is very helpful. Showed me some amazing new pourover equipment also. Very very satisfied with my visit here and will definitely visit whenever I'm in the Kits Area

very cute little cafe with nice coffee and ice cream! love the yuzu flavour (when it’s available).coffee is freshly ground and there are lots of beans to pick from. my coffee loving friends love this place to try the siphon brew and the pour over

Lovely place, kid friendly, always feel great stopping by.We had visited this place since four years ago, unique ice cream flavors to choose from, siphon brew coffee with freshly roasted beans from the cafe.

Super cool little place. The ice cream flavours are unique & delicious, the vibe is industrial/handmade with a hint of steampunk, and owners are so friendly.

Still great coffee, siphon brewers, pour overs, cold brew and nitro! Best value in town for roasted whole bean coffee. Third wave quality, grocery store prices. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The best. Ice cream is excellent as well. Voted 7th best ice cream in Vancouver.

Very good icecream. Not that sweet for me. Definitely buying again. ☺️
