We all scream for ice cream, right?
It is technically summer (even if the weather says otherwise) and there is no such thing as too much ice cream (don't let anyone tell you differently).
So to help satisfy that ice cream craving, here are some places in Burnaby to grab a cone or sundae.

Rocky Point Ice Cream
For this one, we're going to say New Westminster is part of Burnaby (yes, we know it isn't actually, but trust us, it's worth it to take a little skip next door).
There is something for everyone here. We mean everyone.
There's numerous flavours to pick from including Banana Fudge, Birthday Cake, Matcha Green Tea, Rocky Point Road, Lemon Yogurt Cookie, Earl Grey and Honey and more.
They also have a Doggie Cone for your K9 companion. All dog owners know how left out your pup feels when you don't come out with any ice cream for them.
You can find them at 100-500 Sixth Ave. in New West.
Rocky Point Ice Cream is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Dairy Queen
Sometimes, nothing will beat a Blizzard.
Dairy Queen is known for its numerous ice cream desserts including ice cream cakes, sundaes, banana splits and Blizzards.
Blizzard flavours can vary by season but they do have main staples like Smarties, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, Oreo etc.
You also can't say no to a dipped cone.
