Try their soft serve ice cream, Vanilla, I think, it's more on vanilla ice cream, not soft ice. It was good, but I did prefer regular soft-serve one. other one is pineapple one, not on my taste. it might be good if it's a hot summer day. kinda mix feeling between gelato and regular ice cream. Their service is okay. The atmosphere is awesome, walking distance to the park. nice view. It feels like back to the 90s cafe, awesomely cool.

Best cream puffs I’ve ever had. Got the vanilla and Ferrero rocher flavours. The puffs were so light and the creamy fillings were oozy delicious. Would def come back again!

It’s a small cafe in Rocky Point that serves good coffee and solid dessert! We got the ice americano because it was 30 degrees outside and a ferrero rocher cream puff. They were both delicious and the cafe provided a much needed refuge from the sun. We didn’t get to try the ice cream but we already know that it’s going to be amazing. Come check it out if you want some good coffee and dessert in Rocky Point!

We've passed by this place numerous times, so we finally stopped by on a warm day to try their creamery treats. We opted for a soft-serve ice cream and the bubble gum flavor, which was absolutely delicious! We also picked up an Aussie pie to go, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to our expectations.

We were coming back from a hike and this was a great treat! The location was super cute and there’s a nice little patio in the front to enjoy your food. This place offers both baked pastries as well as ice cream. We came for the ice cream and it was good! They only have about 10 flavours but they are good one. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

Nestled in the heart of Port Moody, Rocky Point Canteen by Rocky Point Ice Cream is a true gem, perfect for those seeking a delightful treat in a picturesque setting. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying their famous Dole Whip, and I must say, it was nothing short of extraordinary. The creamy texture and the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess made it the best Dole Whip I have ever had. Despite a bit of melting, even on a cool day, its delightful flavor was an absolute winner. The Canteen offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating options. While seating can be limited, the nearby park provides a perfect backdrop for enjoying your treats outdoors. Alongside their renowned soft serves, they also offer a variety of delicious sandwiches, cookies, brownies, and more, catering to diverse tastes and preferences. The customer service here is commendable, with friendly staff ensuring that your experience is enjoyable. The Canteen's popularity is evident from its glowing reviews, consistently rated highly across various platforms for its quality offerings and pleasant environment. Whether you're a local or just passing through Port Moody, Rocky Point Canteen is a must-visit spot. I will definitely be returning to relive the delightful experience and try more of their offerings. Highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth or looking for a great place to unwind!

Lovely little eatery near Rocky Point Park. Good selection of baked goods, sandwiches and salads. Atmosphere is great and service was friendly. Decent variety of vegetarian options. Nice outdoor seating area. Fortunately no dogs permitted inside. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

I like coffee and soft icecream, specially the pumpkin soft serve was the best but their sofa condition was gross. I won’t never sit the sofa. I ordered chocolat cake, it was super dry and the texture was rough. I think this place will get better if they make better bake goods.

If not for it being our first time...I may have given 5 . Ice cream was great but a little pricy...I would not buy the kid size again. The pastries were great too. You know... while writing this review... Im increasing to 5 . They earned it. Service with a smile and you could not feel more welcome. Finally, the hot beverages were good. Not blow your mind good but definitely on the higher side of good. Yup 5 ! Well go with that. Two pastries, two grande Bevs and a kids cup of icecream...tip of $1.50 all for $27.39. Cheers!

Even better with the second opening! My favorite is the vanilla/dole whip combo. So grateful it s egg free for my egg-intolerant kiddo. Also the addition of some of your scooped ice cream means that EVERYONE in our large groups that visit are happy. Tasty cream puffs are a welcome addition. Would love to see the salads back for meal options, really like the quinoa one. Thank you for the wonderful service team that went above and beyond for sliced sandwich meat for my allergy kiddo s(aged 3) lunch on a rainy afternoon!

I ordered the avocado sandwich and brushchetta sandwich. The sandwiches were really delicious. Do NOT BUY the amaretti cookie. It was hard as rock and OVERCOOKED. The worst part, though, was that the baristas were rude and had extremely poor work ethic. I ordered the sandwiches and took them to my table. A few minutes later, I asked if I could please have some tap water in a glass. The barista, who I asked, literally looked at her coworker and gave me a side-eye as if I was asking for too much. I even said Oh you dont have to worry about bringing it to my table. Ill just wait for it. And they still made me feel like I was asking for too much. What are they expecting to get paid for? All they did was reheat a sandwich for me, dear lord. Just standing around, talking and expecting to be paid and tip on top of that?? Is that what they get paid for?? Wheres the work ethic? Wheres the customer service?? Who is hiring these people? Who is training them?

Very cozy little cafe with good coffee and delicious pastries. Price is very affordable. I have the breakfast galette and cappuccino, cheese bun. If you dine in, the nice staff will heat it up for you. Very tasty and delicious. The coffee is delicious and big, the store is comfortable, the staff will reheat the buns, the taste is good, and the price is really affordable at this time.

The canteen & creamery is honestly such a great place to stop by when you cave something sweet! They have a wide variety of cookies, brownies and other wonderful snacks. And if youre craving an actual meal they also have lots of delicious sandwiches to chose from. Me and my friends constantly stop by to have their screamers that always highlight my day. I totally recomend the canteen & creamery for the great plant like cafe environment and food!

Not enough soft serve in their screamer, in my opinion, but still refreshing and good. Next time, I d just have the pineapple dole whip in a cone instead though. Most of their sandwiches were out when I went so I didn t get to try them. I did tried a couple baked goods though and they were not edible, sadly, I had to throw them away. Service was nothing to write about, but overall it was still an enjoyable experience!

My son is obsessed with their gluten free cheese buns and their baking is so delicious with a great variety. Their soft serve ice cream is our favourite on a hot day. The staff is always friendly and attentive. We are so happy they are open earlier and more frequently as their hours were not consistent before Summer so it is great to see them open more often. Definitely visit it if you have the chance!

Shame on me for not asking, but it wasnt clear if there were milk alternatives here. They have gold forks! Got a Lamington. Dont know if its supposed to be heavy moist cake, but it wasnt dense or moist. Twas fluffy, needed to sip tea with it. Also can you park right in front where the ice-cream truck is?

Let s talk about the building first, that mural wow! The wait wasn t long and was accompanied by a adorable woof woof waiting for his owner. You walk in and cannot miss the huge grin by the young man. Then you look around and see the seating area and then look up and that wallpaper. As I approached the counter I couldn t decide and wanted to take the whole chabang!!! Wow! I opted for a panini and a green juice which was worth every penny! That paper wrapped sandwich was to die for!! Want to treat your honey to a sweet pic mix? This is the spot!! Yah I ate the whole sandwich !!!

Went to this new caffe/ canteen. Really interesting concept. They have croissant and pain au chocolat from Chez Christophe in burnaby but be ready to spend 1.4$ more per peices. The sandwiches looks amazing but for 12$ I hope the will be i will check next time. Coffee was great and muffins too they also sell partially cooked bread however they are not giving any step on how to finish cooking them so have fun figuring it later. The store decorations look really good however it is really noisy with the music, the oven and coffee machine in the background it is really hard to understand the cashier talking behind her mask and the protection window in front of you. I will not run to go back their as I found their pricing a little high for the area but I wish them all the best success in their new endeavor

We made a quick stop at the Canteen & Creamery while enjoying the nice weather. We really liked the set up where theres a specific ice cream/slushy window and then a register you go to inside if you want more than that. We thought it was a good idea as most people just wanted ice cream! We ended up getting the vanilla chocolate soft serve, dole whip soft serve, and the carrot cake. Everything was tasty and hit the spot, the cones were really good and worth getting over a cup. We definitely want to come back and try more items next time!

They made the cafe really beautiful and the mural outside is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. I was expecting a twist on their regular ice creams however, floats and ice cream sandwiches etc. Anyone can do soft serve, they have an opportunity to do something more special with their existing product. Just a thought.

Nice new place with soft serve, baked goods and light savoury meals. Great idea to add a sister store to Rocky Point focused on soft serve. Loved seeing they had a Dole Whip option. Will definitely be back to try the sandwiches and screamers. Safe place to visit during COVID. They limited guests inside to 2 parties and then did their best to keep parties apart. Staff were polite and moving quickly. Had a takeout window which meant you didnt need to come back inside to get sandwiches. They also had a outdoor patio although most of their front area was dedicated to parking space which was sort of disappointing to see. Would have preferred a bigger patio as it was already full around 11am.

New Café on the block and it did not disappoint!! This place is cute, beautifully designed and inviting. It gives me a Parisian bakery vibe but theres also something a little beachy about it. I was a little overwhelmed with all the choices and the staff member behind the counter acknowledged this and asked if it was my first time there. I told her it was and she explained everything they had behind the glass. She also let me know that all of their food is made in house daily, including the pastries! I decided on their iced caramello coffee, it was a great cup of coffee. Milk, coffee and caramel drizzle, nothing too complicated about it. I found their roast delicious, not too acidic and the hint of caramel on point. I chose their 3 cheese grilled cheese for lunch. For those who do not like the taste of brie rind, never fear, the brie adds a creamy note to the sandwich but no over powering flavour. However, they also offer straight cheddar for those who love the classic. I have to mention their sourdough, it is classically sour and has pretty good flavour to it! Do not expect the classic doughy and dense texture though, their sourdough is a bit lighter. Lastly, I tried their Danish, it was made kind of like an almond tart but using Danish dough. You could tell the Danish had been baked that morning, the pastry was easy to bite into, no resistance and hardly any flaking, which tells me two things: it was not over baked and it had not been sitting out long. I was also happy to see their inclusive sign on the door on my way out. More businesses need to do this, it lets people know they are safe within those doors.
