720 Sweets

Got the Milky Way ice cream sundae set, so good!!! My favourite part about it were the espresso jelly. They taste so unique and different but went so well with the milk tea ice cream. They were a very different texture from regular pearls, in fact I think it’s even better tasting than regular boba pearls! The milk tea ice cream itself was not too sweet. It was perfect! I believe one of the employees said it was the least sweet one. Which is a good thing because I don’t like super sweet things. Definitely worth the money. Great for Instagram photos too. Would go here again if I happen to be near the area! It’s just so far from Surrey)-:
Employees weren’t super enthusiastic and didn’t look like they were enjoying their job lol but I could care less since its not a restaurant type of thing. The shop itself was smaller than I had expected, I could imagine that this would be a problem during earlier and busier hours. I went near closing time so I can’t really comment on that however.
Overall a good experience! Tasty deserts, a must try for a foodie.

So! The ice cream itself gets 5 stars, but there were a few factors that contributed to the lower rating.
It’s a VERY small space, there’s about 6 – 8 seats. We ended up waiting against a wall and had no where to go because it was so cramped.
They only take cash and credit, so make sure you have those on you.
The employees weren’t very friendly, not much in the way of customer service at all. Kind of a pretentious attitude from them.
There’s only 5 options to choose from, I think they’re all $ 5.95+tax. My friend and I got the s’mores ice cream. They look gorgeous, with dry ice and just a really lovely presentation. The marshmallow itself was gross, it tasted funny and has a bizarre texture, my friend agreed.
The portion is very large, the chocolate ice cream was soooo good. My cup froze and had frost on it from the dry ice and it burnt my fingers a bit, which hurt.
The ice cream is very photogenic.

Came here tonight because nothing’s better than ice cream on a cold day! Got the Milky Way this tasted amazing, the milk tea ice cream wasn’t too sweet and it went really well with the espresso jelly. The smoke from the dry ice was super cool to look at, my 8 year old nephew was totally amazed by it, we got him the Cloud Nine but for some reason his wasn’t smoky at all but he loved the cotton candy. Definitely something to try at least once.

The most photogenic ice cream in the city.
Opening a novelty ice cream place seems to be the trendy thing to do these days in Vancouver. 720’s schtick is all about the presentation. Your ice cream makes a rock star entrance, complete with its own fog effect which lasts for about a minute. After that, you’re left with a bowl of soft serve ice cream that is a little underwhelming.
Full marks for presentation but the taste, quality and price are all a solid «meh». The menu is limited to 4 items. I tried «the classic» which was mint ice cream with a stick of shortbread, covered in graham cracker crumple. At least I think it was mint, the menu called it the «mystery flavour». The ice cream was pretty much on par with what you’d get at Menchie or Qoola, minus the fun of getting to mix flavours or toppings.
My single serving was $ 6.25 after tax, so definitely on the pricey side for ice cream.
If you like taking pictures of your food, then it’s worth the visit. However in terms of bang for your buck, you could get a lot more ice cream for the same amount of money at your local grocery store.

NOTE: All food and beverages were free, but all opinions are based on my own experience.
The shop is very small, with tables along the two sides of the wall which fits probably 10 people. Simple, clean décor, but I especially like their little saying on the wall.
They currently offer 5 flavours, which are all priced at $ 5.95. They also carry an assortment of marshmallows from the famous Archimallows. Great for gifts!
What’s different about 720 Sweets is that their ice cream is visually appealing and fun to look at. The ice cream sits on top of a separate cup which is filled with hot water and dry ice to give the liquid nitrogen smoking effect. It only lasts for around 2 minutes, but is quite fun to watch. Unfortunately, liquid nitrogen isn’t churned into the ice cream like they do in Korea and many other cities which that type of ice cream is the trend now. This makes it much quicker for them to get the ice cream to you. Marshmallows are also toasted on the spot.
S chose S’Mores Please, which is perfect for chocolate lovers. The ice cream is rich in chococlate flavour and extremely smooth. It came with a crunchy almond stick and on top, the toasted marshmallow, which was fun to eat.
For myself, I chose the Milk’ee since it had everything I liked in it. The milk tea flavour was strong and delicious when paired with the grass jelly. I especially liked it since it wasn’t too sweet and the crushed walnuts gave it a good texture.
Overall, we were extremely pleased with 720 Sweets and am happy that there is a new spot for ice cream lovers. I found the pricing very fair as you got a good amount of ice cream and toppings. We were actually quite full after each having one. Service was also friendly and quick. Definitely will be returning to try out the other flavours, but for now, the Milk’ee is my favourite!

I’ve seen lots of pictures and videos of this dessert place and after a dinner in Kits, I finally got to try it for myself. To save you some reading, I was not impressed by the flavours and will not be back. The quality and texture reminds me of Menchies. UYU is much better. But I must admit that these do make for excellent photos and videos.
The portions are huge. Each order is $ 5.95, which comes to $ 6.25 after tax. As an after dinner treat, you could probably share it with someone and be satisfied. You have about 3 – 5 minutes to take pictures and videos before the dry ice evaporates. However, I feel like you are paying for the novelty, because after trying the Milky Way, Classic, and S’mores, I was not amazed by what I was tasting.
Milky Way: The milk tea soft serve tasted more like coffee. It was more «icy» like Menchies fruit flavoured frozen yogurt, rather than «creamy». It came with a biscotti, caramel drizzle, espresso jelly, and crushed nuts. Consistency was not there as one of my friends got a whole biscotti while my other friend and I got half a biscotti. The jelly matched the «coffee» soft serve. Overall not bad.
Classic: This was recommended by the cashier. I couldn’t tell what the mystery flavour was, except that it was slightly sweet.
S’mores: probably the most impressive presentation of the 3. The toasted marshmallow comes on top of a pocky stick, and it is stuck into the chocolate soft serve swirl. The soft serve flavour for this was probably the best out of the 3.
This is the kind of thing that you only need to try once. And now that I have, I’d rather go back to UYU.

Products are reasonably priced, considering the novelty of them. Staff are great, they’re friendly and efficient.
Now for food quality:
I had the Milky Way, which was composed of milk tea ice cream, caramel drizzle, almonds and espresso jelly.
The ice cream was good, not too sweet, and you definitely feel like you’ve just had a mouthful of Hong Kong-​styled milk tea in your mouth. I am doubtful about the espresso jelly being what it’s described as, as it tastes exactly like grass jelly. The biscotti was a nice garnish, and in some ways could be seen as a nice touch, considering how in theory, milk tea and biscottis can complement each other quite well, but considering how it was only meant to serve as garnish to the product, it seemed unnecessarily large.
The Milky Way was quite mild, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing since the milk tea ice cream was fragrant, but it’s the additional garnished added which made this dessert too complicated. Being flamboyant is good, but it can seem a bit overwhelming, then again I probably won’t be one to come here that regularly to mind, so it’s nice to have a place like this.
I’m excited to try the other flavours and see what else they could potentially come up with.

I have to say this place is super cool. Its walking distance from my place. I got the Milky Way. Its $ 5.95 but the portion is huge. Its really tasty. Its soft ice cream. At first, I was worry about the consumption of nitrogen. Well i had nitrogen cocktail alcohol before and you have to wait till the nitrogen turn into water form before consuming. But they have the nitrogen underneath the cup. So its not touching your ice cream. I love it.
The place is a bit small with a few stool or sitting space. Wish they have more than 4 flavors.
I think this is a good ice cream place. As well, I am sure during summer time, it will be crazy busy. Will come again.

I went with my sister before it opened and there was already a line up outside. This really shows testament to the incredible ice cream 720 is serving up! I got the S’mores and my sister got the Milky Way. For the price the portion was much larger than Soft Peaks, and also tastes 10times better! And who can resist the dry ice smoke that it comes with?

Ok we finally got the chance to come by here! OH EM GEE… they have the best ice cream I have ever had in my life ! They only have 4 or 5 different choices to choose from and they all LOOK AMAZING! E fit their most popular one which was the Milky Way ! It was sooooooo good the ice cream doesn’t melt over because of the dry ice ! ITS A MUST TRY IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY! How do they not have 5 stars yet !!

I decided to get the Milky Way ($ 5.95) Milk Tea Ice Cream, Caramel Drizzle, Almond, Espresso Jelly & Biscotti. I thought this was a very good value for $ 5.95, you get A LOT from this and its extremely filling. Overall everything tasted amazing together, I wasn’t much of a fan of the biscotti, but it was still a nice touch to have that there to pair with the milk tea ice cream. They created this smoky look by using nitrogen dry ice at the bottom of the cup and it creates this very cool look. Recommend getting your cameras set & ready to take amazing photos because the nitrogen dry ice does go away after a while.
My friend got the S’mores please ($ 5.95) Chocolate Ice Cream, chocolate corn flakes, dark chocolate drizzle, with toasted marshmallow. She thought it tasted really good and would definitely go back for more!

I think this place is my favourite soft serve place so far… they have the prettiest styling of their ice cream and for the price, I left feeling the most satisfied with the amount of ice cream I got to eat! I shared a milk’ee way with a friend and still felt like I got to eat a pretty decent amount of ice cream.
I’m also loving the liquid nitrogen smokiness — for me, the best part about this is the fact that it actually helps keep the ice cream colder for a little bit longer, so you’re not left with a ton of melted sadness at the bottom of your cup. I think one of my pet peeves about soft serve is I always feel the need to scarf it down because it melts faster than regular ice cream.
The thing that kept me from giving this place a full 5 stars is I found the ice cream to be a little less creamy than some other soft serve places — haven’t tried the soft serve here enough to say if that’s the usual consistency or if it was a one time thing. However, I know I’ll definitely be back to try their secret Classic flavour and to check out the Cloud Nine cotton candy one!

720 Sweets Vancouver is nothing short of a WOW factor! As Vancouver continue to moves forward in this soft serve ice cream craze, you need something theatrical (in addition to tasty treats) to attract the crowds. Opened for a few weeks now, 720 Sweets has everyone on Instagram in a frenzy. Located on West Broadway, 720 Sweets can be hard to miss. Look for a «Seven Twenty» sign instead of «720».
720 Sweets or commonly referred to 720 Ice Cream crafted soft serve ice cream and presented with nitrogen smoke! This dessert shop in Kitsilano (new UBC) is opened Wednesday to Monday from 3 pm to 10 pm.
720 Sweets Ice Cream Flavors 5.95 each
The Classic: crushed graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk, baked butter cookie
Honey 720: honey drizzle, golden honeycomb
S’mores Please: chocolate corn flakes, dark chocolate drizzle, crunchy almond stick, toasted marshmallow
Milk’ee: crushed walnuts, light caramel drizzle, espresso grass jelly, crunchy almond cookie
Cloud 9: crunchy almond stick, cotton candy popcorn, fluffy cotton candy
Each ice cream is visually appealing and appetizing with nitrogen dry ice (in a separate chamber). We are told, more flavors to be introduced later along with bubble tea.
Now, what is your favorite flavor? And, how do you like this compared to Soft Peaks Ice Cream, UYU Ice Cream? Or do you prefer traditional ice cream like Earnest Ice Cream?

Nosh and Nibble came here for a pre-​dinner dessert (that’s a thing) and I had a great taste of the following:
S’more Please ($ 5.95)
Milky Way ($ 5.95)
The S’more Please came with chocolate ice cream, chocolate corn flakes, dark chocolate drizzle, and an almond stick spearing through a toasted Archimallows marshmallow (more on this later). This was a sweet experience, a little too sweet. Between the drizzle and the ice cream, I really enjoyed the almond stick with the gooey toasted marshmallow. It’s these cute accessories that make easy flavour a little more unique and stand out amongst soft serve competitors. At $ 5.95, this is cheaper than most variants at Soft Peaks but there’s no mention of organic milk used on the menu. Another cool thing is the combination of dry ice and water below the ice cream container that gives off this misty fog for a few minutes; this was a pretty exotic aesthetic feature that pushes the saying of «You eat with your eyes first» in a positive way.
Over on the Milky Way, this was a combination of milk tea ice cream, crushed almond nuts, caramel drizzle, and espresso jelly. This was less sweet for me, and the milk tea ice cream was a first for soft serve that I’ve tasted. The caramel drizzle added a nice gooeyness and the espresso jelly had a good mix of espresso and sugar. The included almond cookie was kind of like a biscotti. It was hard and made for a good dipping companion. Like all their ice cream, this item also came with the dry ice evaporation effect. The Milky Was was my favourite out of the two.

I gave this place a shot not too long after they were open. I believe it was their 3^rd or 4^th day that they were open. Something tells me it wasn’t worth my drive when I have soft peak soft serve and UYU close to where I live.
I order a milky way and I have to say that the smoke coming out of the cup was what got me to give this place a shot. But the taste of the ice cream was no different from the other soft serve ice cream places around town. I have to say they got a good gimmick going on. But how long is this gimmick going to last?
This place is located in an area that is on the west side. But if they are open up late, there isn’t really many people walking around. Not a lot of restaurants opened along that area. Parking is another issue. It’s pretty much all street parking. The place is pretty small. My guess is it’s design to grab and go. Though I have to say I do like their clean white walls.
The staff are nice and cheerful. The price of the soft serve are average I would say. But was hoping during their soft opening week that they had something different. Such as having either all their flavours available for people or a coupon to invite them back or offering their soft serve at a discounted price.
Overall, it’s great to try out and guys who own the store are cool.

Once I saw that Vancouver had finally gotten a soft-​serve places that plays on the liquid nitrogen ice cream trend that has been long awaited by me since I tried it in Asia, I knew I had to give it a try!
I ordered the Milky Way (Milk’ee) ($ 5.95), which consisted of milk tea ice cream, crushed walnuts, coffee grass jelly, caramel drizzle, & an almost biscotti.
As well as, my own special order of The Classic + Cloud Nine ($ 6.95), with the top secret flavoured ice cream, condensed milk, crushed graham crackers, butter cookie, & of course cotton candy to top it off! I really wanted to get cotton candy on my ice cream, but felt like I would be missing out if I didn’t try the «top secret flavour». The staff were super friendly, and were happy to do my little substitution, even though the place started to get kind of busy!
Ultimately, you definitely get a great value when you come here (Aside from the fact that tables are sparse — but what do you expect for a tiny pop of ice cream store! Eating ice cream in the rain is just a typical day in Vancouver). In comparison to some of the other soft serve places that have sprouted around Vancouver, for a fairly reasonable price, you get really great presentation, a very substantial amount of ice cream (I couldn’t even finish), and a variety of cute, unique combinations of flavours.
If you are coming here, and just want to give one of them a try. I would 100% recommend Milky Way! The milk tea ice cream is super smooth, with a strong tea flavour that isn’t overcome by an intoxicating sweetness. The coffee jelly & crushed almonds add an interesting variety of textures and you definitely can’t go wrong with an entire biscotti!
As for the «top secret flavour» I will not disclose what it is, but trust me. The flavour is definitely bold enough that after one bite, you will recognize it immediately! It is honestly pretty crazy. I can see why they don’t mix this one with cotton candy on the regular, because halfway through I was suffering from a major sugar high.
It was totally worth it though.

Are you serious? Did you want to copy all those ideas from other shops in East Asia? Why didnt you try to come up with at least one of YOUR own idea. I was hoping the taste itself would stand out from all these mixed COPIED concept, but you and I both failed.
FYI, Honeycomb topping is copied from a store named Soft Tree in Korea.(Soft Peaks in Gastown has also copied their concept from Soft Tree) Cotton candy topping is copied from Remicon in Asia. Dry ice idea is stole from another shop in Korea called Bastille. Their coockies are purchased at COSTCO.
I have tried all the products they offer. I would not recommend this low quality ice cream to anyone else around me. All these big food bloggers, they seem to know how to take fancy food pictures, but I never trust their thoughts in terms of taste. 720 provides ice cream with bunch of articicial stuffs in them which makes me to easily say NO. NO. NO. NO… Never again. BYE BYE.

They put dried ice at the bottom of the cup, it has nothing to do with the ice cream. Presentation on point, but taste was meh
Vancouver has soft serve places better than this.

When I first saw Steph W.‘s (see down below) instagram photo, I knew I had to give this place a try. Initially, I thought it was the liquid nitrogen ice cream but in a form of a soft serve. But it’s not. Weight-​conscious me didn’t want to go but I ended up within that vicinity last night so I thought why not?
720 Sweets is a small ice cream shop with a pretty cool and hip vibe. There are some tall wooden stools to sit and enjoy your ice cream and another wooden table top bench for all you instagrammers out there (or people who likes to take pictures of their food) to record videos of your soft serve and/​or snap photos before eating.
They have 5 flavors with the descriptions hanging on the wall and one of them was made with a ‘top secret’ soft serve. I was tempted to get that one but I read from others that Milky Way seems to be the better choice.
It did not take long for my name to be called. I was super excited but also had to run so I quickly took a short video and a few shots and dashed out.
Loved the theatrical effect that they add to soft serves– so definitely points for creativity and novelty. The soft serve was not as smooth as the ones I had before and it did not tasted like milk tea. I almost forgot that it was milk tea and thought it was a light flavored coffee. There was a generous amount of crushed nuts and some espresso jelly on the side. The chocolate dipped biscotti was my favorite of all the toppings. Overall, it was not too sweet and worth a try but I feel there could be some improvement on the soft serve itself. I also found that when trying to scoop out the ice cream, the top part of my cup kept lifting. If I happen to be around that area again, I would get the one with the top secret flavor and hopefully that one would impress me more than the Milky Way.

Just when you think there’s more than enough ice cream/​soft serve shops opening in Vancouver, 720 Sweets pops up offering smokin’ soft serve sundaes?! I’ve been waiting for ice cream concoctions like these to happen in Vancouver since they started floating around my Instagram feed.
Everything about 720 Sweets looked promising; the clean décor, comfortable setting, and friendly service. On the menu, I found 5 beautiful images of their dangerously appealing sweet treats and their descriptions below. Clever — I’m a sucker for branding, packaging, and all things visually pleasing. I would’ve easily ordered everything if I could finish them all in one sitting. Ensuring that all components work in harmony is important so it’s a good sign when soft serve is executed with complimenting toppings dedicated to each individual ice cream flavor. 720 Sweets successfully got that down as most of the soft serve and toppings made sense to me.
Of course Milky Way was a must when I read milk tea soft serve. It was paired with crushed almonds, caramel drizzle, espresso grass jelly, and a crunchy almond cookie. Toppings were (almost) on point. Grass jelly was fantastic, the added texture of the crushed almonds to the soft serve was also superb. The crunchy almond cookie was essentially a biscotti and although it wasn’t outstanding alone, it was a great substantial addition to be dipped and enjoyed throughout my ice cream sundae. The one suggestion I have is to change the drizzle from caramel to condensed milk (or something more suitable) as I found the caramel drizzle overpowering the milk tea soft serve. Due to the drizzle, the milk tea wasn’t as prominent as I would’ve liked.
The Classic was described as «top secret soft serve» topped with crushed graham crackers, sweetened condensed milk, and freshly baked butter cookie. This was definitely the winner of the two. I liked the simplicity of this sundae but a little more of the graham cracker dust wouldn’t hurt. The baked butter shortbread cookie was again generic but substantial as it kept the ice cream interesting till the very last bite. I respect the business and will not reveal what this «top secret» ingredient in the soft serve is but the flavor was bold enough for me to immediately recognize it. I personally think the actual name will sell better than calling it «top secret».
Needless to say, the overall experience at 720 Sweets was delightful. It’s fun and picturesque to have your soft serve smoke out and about. Although this execution of soft serve is a little gimmicky, I do think the novelty of having soft serve ice cream served on dry ice will keep me coming back for more.
