Welcome to Maya's Ice Cream

“ Maya’s Ice Cream and Gelato — Where Sweet Treats Meet Sweet People Right at the corner in front of the pier in White Rock, Maya’s is more than just another ice cream shop — it’s the spot for summer joy and seaside indulgence. Pistachio Perfection & Milkshake Magic Let’s get straight to it — the pistachio gelato is next-level. Smooth, rich, nutty… the kind of scoop that makes you pause and smile. The chocolate milkshake? Bold, creamy, and made just right. Whether it’s gelato, classic ice cream, or a shot of espresso over a scoop of vanilla (hello, affogato!), Maya’s delivers. Excellence in the Little Things One morning, I showed up early and caught a glimpse behind the scenes: a young man carefully wiping down each chair, one by one, making sure not a single drop of ice cream was left behind. That kind of care — when no one’s looking — speaks volumes. A Shout-Out to the Team To the amazing crew of young people running this place — you’re doing a fantastic job. From customer service to cleanliness to the good vibes in the shop, it’s clear you’re not just working a summer job… you’re building something worth talking about. Keep going. Decor That Delights Fresh flowers, a modern beachy look, and an atmosphere that’s bright and inviting — Maya’s knows how to set the scene. Final Scoop: Hope Served Daily Maya’s isn’t just serving gelato — it’s serving joy. It’s proof that when you do the small things with great care, it creates something truly beautiful. Keep showing up. Keep smiling. Keep building. You never know how much good you’re doing. 5 stars — and a little more, if we could. ”

“ We stopped here for a sweet treat after taking a walk along the pier. I got the twist soft-serve because who doesn't love a twist cone? It was SO good. The chocolate-cinnamon and vanilla was such a great combination and so refreshing. Service was also excellent and for those that care, the space is very photogenic. Will definitely be back to try the gelato next time! ”

“ The ice cream was great and the serving portion was decent. It was a bit pricey. I ordered 2 scoops in a waffle cone and paid almost 15CAD but that’s with 15% tip .. but even without the tip it’s still quite expensive. ”

“ Excellent location, just on the street at the end of the pier. Beautiful view while eating your ice cream. The gelato and ice cream were delicious. We tried the hedgehog and dark chocolate flavors. High-quality treats and very friendly customer service. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back with friends. ”

“ Visited this spot a couple of times over the last week and it has not disappointed! Tried the soft serve vanilla/chocolate-cinnamon swirl, and both the pistachio and hazelnut gelato. The flavours were delightful, and the gelato did not disappoint despite being able to compare to the real deal because of a recent trip to Italy. Creamy and not icy at all. The space is very clean, and there's a nice patio space and additional outdoor seating. Service friendly and efficient. The store is conveniently located right by the pier so you can take a stroll in whatever direction. There are so many ice cream spots to choose from, but I would definitely frequent this spot if you're able to. ”

“ I'm in love with this gelato shop! The flavors are creative and delicious, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. My favorite flavors are the pistachio and dark chocolate- they're absolutely divine! The shop is beautifully located at the helm of white rock beach, a perfect for a sweet treat on a warm day. Highly recommend!" ”

“ This shop is always open and always busy. Some of the best dairy ice cream and the gelato is made on-site in-store. They have coffee too, and that's why we stopped to visit friend drinking coffee on the patio. Locally owned family business and some of the nicest staff. Best location, best products. The first two freezer displays are ice cream, the third display has all fresh gelato. Maya's has the best views of the White Rock Pier. ”
