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.

☕Iced Capp (V)☕
What could be more refreshing than a Timmy’s Iced Capp on a hot summer day?! We put our own Village twist on this classically Canadian iced drink. A soy-coconut base is churned with you guessed it, Phil & Sebastian coffee for a creamy and indulgent caffeinated treat. (vegan, gluten-free, contains soy)
📍Available at all 5 locations in scoops and pints all month long.

🍊Orange Creamsicle (V)🍊
A scoop of sunshine on a hot July day! Our soy coconut base sets the stage perfectly for a creamy, yet bright and juicy citrus flavour. Made with freshly squeezed orange juice and orange zest, it’s both tangy and sweet, yet downright refreshing! (vegan, gluten-free, contains soy)
📍Available at all 5 locations in scoops and pints all month long.

🥞Pancake Breakfast🥞
Name an iconic Calgary Stampede event, we’ll go first. The pancake breakfast is a Stampede tradition! Are you truly Calgarian if you haven’t had a couple pancakes while sitting on a hay bale? No haybales or luke-warm pancakes here, this is the pancake breakfast of your dreams! A dreamy maple, brown sugar sweet cream base combined with maple syrup tossed soft cake pieces and bits of a crunchy pecan oat crumble. Yahooo!! (contains nuts and gluten)
📍Available at all 5 locations in scoops and pints all month long.

🍩Mini Donut🍩
It’s baaack, this time just in time for the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth! We’ve transformed the famous soft, bite-sized midway indulgence into scoop format! Made with a vanilla base and chunks of cinnamon sugar dusted soft cakey pieces make for the perfect mini donut flavour (without the cinnamon sugar-coated fingertips). (contains dairy, eggs, gluten)
📍Available at all 5 locations in scoops and pints all month long.

Meet Maria Galura of @calgaryparty50! 👋
We’re so proud to call Maria a Villager, and we’re grateful that she’s chosen to share her amazing gift with us all here in Calgary! 🎈
Growing up in the Philippines, Maria always looked forward to seeing the vendors selling balloons after attending Sunday Mass with her family. Seeing those balloons every Sunday were a simple joy that made her very happy, and she believes that everyone deserves to feel special.
Engineering was her chosen area of study, however her entrepreneurial side kicked in at a young age. She founded Calgary Party 50 in 2015 after she found herself with some left over party supplies after her daughter’s birthday party. With her passion of creating moments of delight and memories to cherish, she eventually moved into balloon art installations and in 2017 had the opportunity to do a large scale installation for Beakerhead in Calgary. It was through this work that she was able to realize the broader impact of her work as it became accessible to all to enjoy. It’s because of this realization, that Maria supports @thehappybirthdayproject through her work so that all children can have an amazing birthday experience, regardless of their circumstances. Thank you, Maria for your dedication to support the community.
When we asked Maria if she would share her gift with our community, she shared that she has always been a fan, and had even brought some balloons to our Victoria Park shop many years ago to bring some joy to our Villagers. Talk about a full circle moment! Maria created 5 incredible installations at each of our shops, and she took the time to make installations that really complemented each of the spaces. Thank you Maria for creating such beautiful works of art for our Birthday celebration, you made the day feel so special!
Please give Maria a follow at @calgaryparty50 to see some of her past and present work, and check out @thehappybirthdayproject to see more about their work bringing birthday joy to the lives to kids.
