The Praguery - Saint Ives Australia

The chocolate chip soft serve nutella drizzle is the one that I ordered. It was my first time having it and I love the chimney cake. This traditional cone came from Eastern Europe, specific to Hungarian speaking region. In earlier years it was only a festive treat, now enjoyed with an ice cream of everyday snack. Not only the ice cream tastes good and creamy, I couldn’t wait till I get to the crispy and crusted cone piece which is the best part

I visited the Praguery to try their 2 Christmas specials. It was my first time coming into their brick mortar location and it was also my first time trying their treats in general.<br/ <br/ The place is very cute and hipster with bar seating for you to enjoy your treat. Note that there are no washrooms though. <br/ <br/ The 2 Christmas specials were:<br/ <br/ Cinnamon chimney cake dipped in white chocolate.<br/ <br/ Coconut Prague's cone with housemade chocolate soft serve.<br/ <br/ The chimney cake was way bigger than the Prague's cone and less sweet. The way they make it is really cool too so it's fun to watch them coil the dough (freshly made every day). It is hollow inside.<br/ <br/ The Prague's cone is actually gigantic because it is filled with so much ice cream inside. Definitely worth the price if you have a sweet tooth!<br/ <br/ Full review and more pics on my blog:

The Praguery on Abbot Street just off Water is known for its chimney cakes and similarly wound and baked cones, I was happy to see that they were branching into a menu that included some savory items as well. Still, it is very interesting to watch them wind the dough around wooden spools and bake them for sweet or savoury purposes. On the savoury menu was pulled pork. I don't think that this is the product of a big smoker, but slow-roasted or braised, it was moist and tasty just the same. Served with some choices, I had the house-made barbeque sauce and house-made sauerkraut. Colour me impressed with the amount they do themselves and not relying on outside suppliers! Accompanying it was savoury chimney cake with cheese! What an excellent idea! The most generous of the places I visited this evening (I was part of a Gastown tasting event), they also served a dessert. I had their Signature Lemon Cone which might be the most spectacular item I sampled all evening! Never mind the wonderful chimney cone and soft serve vanilla ice cream, it was topped with a lemon sauce that sealed the deal. Excellent! A typical Gastown space, there are some stools and a side and front counter to sit at with the Gastown brick and old glass which makes the place charming. Nice people too!

A new food truck on the Vancouver scene is The Praguery which specializes in fresh-baked Chimney Cakes inspired by the popular Czech dessert “trdelnik.”  Though new in food truck form, The Praguery could previously be seen at the Panda Night Market (now Illumination Summer Night Market).  The owner and operator of The Praguery is Jaroslav Mestka.  Originally from Prague, he moved to Vancouver in 2014 and decided to share the deliciousness of Chimney Cakes – a favorite childhood treat – with the Vancouver community.
