Vancouver’s dessert scene is sadly losing a quirky gem.
Perverted Ice Cream has abruptly announced its unexpected closure.
Owner Jade Ratcliffe shared the sad news via Instagram on October 30, revealing the shop will close at midnight on Halloween.
In the announcement post, it is stated that the closure was “beyond our control”.
In a comment with a customer, Jade commented “This came SO fast that we are working our 🍑🍑 off to get reincarnated.”
Founded in 2018, Perverted Ice Cream quickly stood out with its outrageous flavours and playful non-PG branding.
The brand was built to challenge the status quo by offering a unique twist on traditional ice cream and leaving its distinctive mark on a variety of products.
With PERVERTED, Jade is determined to push boundaries and redefine indulgence in a fun and daring way.
The interior of the shop matched the whimsical brand, featuring vibrant decor that complemented the outlandish offerings.
On the menu, you could find flavours with interesting names like Brand Spanking, Beg for S’More, and Dirty Blonde, showcasing Jade’s playful approach to ice cream making.
To end the chapter at the Thurlow location, Perverted shared that they would be giving out free ice cream on Oct. 31st – which has garnered massive lines.
Jade reassured fans that this isn’t the end on the announcement post, but rather a new beginning for the Perverted brand, promising “bigger and badder” things to come.
