Established: 2014. Village Britannia is neighbour to a handful of small boutiques and restaurants, with more small businesses opening all the time.
With ample parking in the plaza, you can enjoy a cone at the shop or stroll over to the nearby Sandy Beach ridge for a double whammy of cones AND Elbow River views. (There’s a secret rope swing too, but we didn’t say anything about that!). Our Britannia shop was named one of the top 9 ice cream shops in the world by Architectural Digest for its interior design. It’s a great hang out spot.
All the ice cream we scoop here is made right here, on location.

Meet Amy! 👋
Amy is our Victoria Park Kitchen Manager! You can find her making ice cream daily to the sweet sounds of Harry Styles and T. Swift in the kitchen (she’s a die-hard fan, but who isn’t). Read on for more about Amy, she might even tease a new seasonal flavour.🤫

In the past 3 years, I have managed to live in 3 different cities (Calgary, Brisbane, and Toronto). It was during each of those summers though, that I came back to Village first as a scooper, and then as an ice cream maker in the kitchen, and I was promoted to Kitchen Manager of Victoria Park in the fall of 2021.
It might sound cheesy, but the community is what kept me coming back to Village. It is quite literally the “village” I’ve been able to create that is so special. I get to come to work everyday and hang out with my friends and knowing that they’ve got my back no matter what is the absolute best.

A few weeks ago I brought in some brownies that I made to share with my co-workers. Emily (our Back of House Manager) happened to be doing some test flavours that day so we decided to chuck a few brownie chunks and some Baileys into a batch, and thus my favourite ice cream ever was made…

Scoop, scoop, repeat.🥄
We recommend tackling Mondays with a pint in one hand, and a spoon in the other.

For all our vegan/dairy-free coffee loving friends, VEGAN ICED CAPP!☕️🍦
A soy-coconut base churned with Phil & Sebastian Coffee (the Village twist to this classically Canadian iced drink). This flavour has a creamy, indulgent feel with a caffeinated kick. Is coffee life? Yes, yes it is.
📍Available at all locations in scoops and pints all month long.

A must try for sun seekers, and coconut lovers alike. ‘Always’ flavour Toasted Coconut has a chewy texture that doesn’t skimp on coconut-ty flavour. Fun fact, this flavour is a recipe from Billy’s mom, Kathy! ☀️🥥
Have you tried Toasted Coconut? Find it on our ‘Always’ menu at any one of our 5 Calgary locations.
