Ice Cream Dream

What’s cooler than being cool? Yaletown’s first liquid nitrogen ice cream parlour, that’s what.
University friends and Mister co-owners Michael Lai and Tommy Choi bring the rapid freezing ice cream making method to Vancouver after discovering it throughout Asia. Fast freezing at -196C creates smaller ice crystals and a much creamier and smoother ice cream. The current seasonal menu includes Crème Brûlée, Avocado, Dark Chocolate, Double Oreo and a Lemon Frozen Yogurt. Mister’s liquid nitrogen ice cream transforms every flavour you know into a new experience, but the Avocado is truly unique—you’ll find bits of the buttery fruit mixed into the fine ice cream texture. The minimalist space features high-caliber materials like whitewash brickwork, galvanized steel, and a large soapstone counter to reflect Mister’s pure and premium approach to creating high-quality products.

Word on the (sweet) street: Another dessert-based ice cream flavour is in the works. —Miranda Sam
