Pastry Cook/production Assistant

**About Us**:
Since we launched in 2012, our goal has been to create ice cream that expresses our passions for flavour and creativity, and to run a business that embodies our values. What started out as two friends with an ice cream tricycle at the Vancouver Farmers Markets has now grown into four scoop shops, an ice cream truck, retailers around Metro Vancouver and an amazing team of hardworking humans.

We acknowledge with gratitude to our Host Nations that our work takes place on the unceded and ancestral land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples.
