Village Ice Cream

No joke, the vanilla ice cream blew my mind. Hands down the most amazing vanilla flavour I’ve ever experienced. Rich, creamy, and very fragrant. You could literally crunch the little “grains” of vanilla bean in between your teeth. Very delicious. The Guide Mint flavour was exceptional too, with crushed up chunks of guide cookies in a luscious creamy minty ice cream. It wasn’t the “toothpaste” kind of mint, but a more subtle flavour that was really moreish. I want to come back and try more flavours. My friend said that the earl grey flavour was delicious too. Staff were a bit on the arrogant side, but they attended the line quickly and were generous with servings.

This is my favourite place for ice cream! They have some great flavours! And the service is always hands down super friendly!! The vibes are immaculate! Location is great too! There’s a park across the street or you can sit inside or outside. The music also sets the vibe❤️ everytime I’m in town I always make sure to drop in! 🍦

The ice cream is the best I could ever rate. 😭❤️ I was first attracted by the unique flavor selection - Earl Grey, and it exceeded my expectations. I also tried one bite of the Pineapple flavor from my friend, and it's 💯 too. I am really pleased with the store atmosphere. I saw not only parents enjoying good times with their families, but also older couples and individuals. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👵👴

We stopped here because we heard great things about their icecream! We were not disappointed. The icecream flavors are amazing and they tast delicious. I highly recommend making the effort to travel here. Bring your dogs too, there special flavors for them. There are several locations throughout Calgary.

This place was BUSTIN it up def try if you’re in Calgary. My friend from Toronto recommended it to me and I’m so glad she did! After Van Leewuens or whatever it’s called in NYC a few weeks ago I was like okay it was good but it made my tummy hurt and the specialty flavors got overwhelming the more you ate them. However the flavors at Village are definitely authentic but they don’t overwhelm your taste buds making it hard to eat the massive scoops they give you and you can gobble the ice cream down easily. They also (not unique to here) let you try flavors (I tried three which I all liked including the mini donut flavor but I thought I can eat mini donuts all the time I want CANADIAN flavors) which I appreciate. They also have some nice benches outside where you can sit. Oh ALSO the waffle cone is so worth it! It was so tasty and crunchy and it’s only $1 CAD which is pretty good esp to me as an American where add ons are like $2 usd each… def try this place!! The staff are all really nice here and I def would come back again if I lived in the area.

Really nice spot for icecream. Enjoy the variety of flavors. I got a double scoop ($8) of the honey berry and earl grey. Wish the earl grey had more tea flavor - it tasted more of honey and vanilla. Honey berry was great - not too sweet and reminded me of blueberries. Enjoyed it so much we got a pint to go ($10).

Lots of parking. Lots of seating. Delicious flavours! Waffle cones are so fresh. Absolutely love this place. Location is perfectly situated at the end of 10th ave with a roundabout. So many areas to hangout and eat your ice cream!

Customer service was passable. I felt like they were friendly enough. Ice creams were really rich, and they have dog-friendly ice creams. Nothing special.

We visited Calgary for a day, went to the Calgary Tower and craved for a cold treat. I yelped the closet ice cream shop from the Tower and it led me to Village Ice cream. It was about a 10-15 minute walk. I got a scoop of strawberry ice cream, my husband and daughter got the Melted Chocolate flavor. They were both creamy and tasty! No wonder a lot of people come here for a treat. This place is highly recommended!

Long line but service was quick. Im a villager! Enjoyed the earl grey. Also tried the honeyberry.

Hands down some of the best ice cream I've ever had - from a pricepoint, taste/texture, and flavor offerings, Village Ice Cream is top tier. Got their Earl Grey and seasonal Rhubarb Crumble and wow, both flavors were phenomenal. Super creamy, strong flavors, and a great scoop size! If you're in Calgary, this place is a MUST. They offer normal and kids sized scoops, indoor and outdoor seating, and even pints. Samples are allowed!

Great ice cream!! 4/5 -- just a bit on the sweeter side and a bit heavy. But quality and taste was good. Service 5/5 -- server was kind and patient. I'm a bit Ambiance 4/5 they should add more seats for customers. Overall -- 4.5/5 would go back for some more next time.

Village Ice Cream actually has a few locations, with this one (Victoria Park) being their original shop. Basically, the building and entrance are further into the parking lot, away from the street. Said lot is pretty accessible from all directions thanks to the connecting parking lots and inner street (between buildings), though some of the other lots are fenced off as part of private property. The most well-known directions are that it's at the end of the 10 Aveuene SE cul-de-sac. We were actually walking down 4 Street SE, and they had stairs leading up to the cul-de-sac. We were there during the summer, and they had a long enough line that most of the people were outside. And while there was some indoor seating, the setup (like the open garage door) was designed for people to hang around outside in that parking lot area in a community event fashion. Not a lot of shelter from the sun (or rain if it came down to it), but they were great about having free, cold water inside and right next to the door. Nothing was too sweet. They do have a few vegan ice creams, but it's grouped with the seasonal stuff so the flavors are rotated out. We REALLY liked their ice cream, it was so good! The North 49 Honeyberry was lovely and the Toasted Coconut had actual coconut bits in it. And while I don't usually like toasted coconut shreds (too chewy), they did something here so they were more like delicious sprinkles. And their Earl Grey had a pronounced tea flavor. With how hot it was that day and all the walking we did, this was perfect. Next time, I would love to try one of their sundaes or a cone. My parents wanted me to note that it seemed to be a "young person place" lol. Overall, we will definitely be looking out for more of their locations when we come back to Canada.

Great atmosphere! I visited this location ivacation and the ice cream was fantastic. Service was okay; I tried the salted caramel ice cream and I chose to go with another flavor (melted chocolate and strawberry, but the attendant gave me the salted caramel and strawberry). It was still really good just disappointed the server did not listen to me.

Amazing flavor combinations, unlike anything you've had at your average ice cream shoppe. Was excited to try this place because it was in the yelp top 100 best ice cream shops in Canada. I am so glad that I made the trip to try it. It is worth all the hype. Everything is locally sourced and made in house. You can tell that they do not add any food coloring into the ice cream. My favorite was the rhubarb crumble. It is only seasonal, but I recommend you try it before it is gone. The amazing subtle taste of rhubarb, that I never would've thought about combining with ice cream, but it is a match made in heaven! Servers are super friendly and they allow you to taste samples before you select your favorite flavors. Plenty of seating space and it is nice and cool inside the store so you can enjoy your delicious ice cream without it melting so quickly. My hubby tried the maple pecan and he loved it. It was very good and I usually love pecan ice cream however, I decided to be more adventurous and try the seasonal flavors and boy, am I glad I did!

Ice cream is very good, Seasonal flavours are must try & their usuals are always good

This is an awesome ice cream place in Calgary. Don't miss while in Calgary. Their seasonal favorites are the best

Sadly not a fan of this one. I love ice cream but found my experience here lacking in flavor. Easy to find, with ample street parking. Staff were friendly and welcoming and gave us time to decide our flavors. Prices and sizes were easy to see and a great setup inside. They do encourage you to take your dessert to go but have benches outside. It was raining out so not a soul in sight. The vegan cookie dough was good considering it was vegan with ample cookie dough bites but I found lacking in a nice vanilla taste. The coconut was nice and creamy and I suppose coconut is a light flavor but I also think I've had better for a far better price. Sadly will not be back.

Solid place for ice cream in NW Calgary, parking can be problematic on a hot sunny day or evening as everyone is out, long line up but it moved fairly quickly

Visiting Calgary for the time. So happy we found this gem. Staff was very welcoming. Clean and cute place. And the ice cream was delicious! So many great flavors to pick from.

Really good ice cream. There was a long line, but they make it move quick. They make their waffle cones fresh. They rotate some of their ice cream flavors too but had a good mix of regular flavors too. We tried a couple of flavors and they were all sooooo good it made it hard to decide. You cannot go wrong regardless of the flavor you pick. Good friendly service. They had some wooden benches outside where you could sit and enjoy the tasty treat. Would highly recommend this place especially to ice cream lovers.

Melted chocolate tastes just like store bought chocolate flavour ice cream. Not impressed. Waffle cone was good not too sweet.

I came here with my sister. I treated her for dinner and she treated me to ice cream here. We both got 2 scoops of ice cream each for $7. I got the Huckleberry flavor and the Two hills Earl Grey. My sister got the Chai Vegan Cookie and Two Hills Earl Grey. The flavors here are not as rich as Made by Marcus or Earnest in Vancouver. You get to sample before purchasing. I also tried Guide Mint but it wasn't very minty. The Chai Vegan Cookie was another one I liked but it was too dense and too filling. Overall, it was good ice cream. The location doesn't attract a lot of foot traffic. It is somewhat hidden. The decor is quite nice. There are benches inside and outside. Getting a pint here is definitely a better deal but it really depends if you want to eat it on the spot or bring it home.

Amazing icecream! Definitely the best spot in the city. The owners really care about their costumers and their opinions, and they are very community oriented!

Be prepared to wait for some really great ice cream. They have some classic flavors and also have some unique flavors as well as sorbets. I decided to get the Huckleberry Kid scoop because from the sample, it was pretty yummy. I also got the cone, which costs $1 and it seems to be made in house. It was worth the wait for me. They have great seating as well. I recommend coming here to try it out. They also sell stickers which costs $1 and it's cute.

I think this place is overrated. This place is just away from the downtown/city hall area. Not much foot traffic as most people drive here. If you are walking over from City Hall area, just keep going even though it looked like a deserted street. There was a line when we got here. I was excited to try the ice cream since the reviews were mostly good. The selection was not huge which was a good thing as I think the staff would be even more annoyed if people asked to try many flavors. I usually keep my sampling to just 1-3 flavors. I tried the Midnight Snack (seasonal flavor) and Maple Pecan. I decided to get something different and went with the Midnight Snack which was to have a mix of snack food in it -- cookies, chips, and dunno what else. I had the sundae and it only came with 1 scoop of ice cream. The whipped cream hid the pecans and hot fudge. It reminded me of New York City's Ample Hills' The Munchies which had pretzels, potato chips, crackers and crushed M&Ms. Because of this comparison, I find the Village's version paled so much. It was a "lite" version and so forgettable that I could hardly recall the taste now. I only remembered the whipped cream and pecan nuts of the sundae. The service and attitude of the staff was also quite bad. I think the staff were overworked with the constant stream of people waiting to order. Still I did not think the cashier should be quite rude to tell me to move away from the counter after paying as I was waiting for my sundae. Not my issue if your co-worker was slow in giving me the item and/or you were too overeager to take my money. Not a place I will be back as service aside, the ice cream just was not that great to warrant a second visit.

Great selection. Friendly staff. Amazing location; just walk up the hill to the ridge crest to eat your ice cream for a great view!

Would be 5 stars but no vegan waffle cone :/. Vegan coconut ice cream very good tho. Service quick and friendly. Cute ambiance, loud music.

Favourite Village ice cream flavour and go! Need more time? I don't blame you, there's too many incredible ones to choose from. Pictured above is a double scoop in a cup (always in a cup, I'm not a cone person) of Ferrero Roche and Gigi's Bourbon EggNog. Because what better way to enjoy the taste of the holidays than in ice cream form. Here's what I love about Village... they take pretty simple and traditional flavours, but knock them out of the park when it comes to execution. You never really have a disappointing experience there because the base ice cream is so strong and the mix-ins are just an added bonus. I've eaten a lot of ice cream in my life (it's kinda embarrassing to admit) and Village is in the top rankings. Here's my thoughts on these 2 Holiday Seasonals: RATING: 8/10 - Gigi's Bourbon EggNog This rating is based on my OWN personal preferences. While I love eggnog, it's not within my top Christmas flavours. Plus I'm a sucker when it comes to mix-ins whereas this one doesn't have any. The base is strong and on the boozy side, so if you're an eggnog fiend, you'll absolutely adore this one. RATING: 8.5/10 - Ferrero Roche I LOVE HAZELNUT. Village releases this flavour almost every holiday season and I'm so happy they do. It's like a Bueno bar in icecream form. Plus I love the ferrero chunks to break up the texture of the ice cream. It's crunchy and delicious! Both of these are a winner and depending on your preferences will likely depend on which one you gravitate towards. You can never go wrong with Village Ice Cream

My local friends took me here and it was so good that I came back again the next day! I got the earl grey ice cream and also tried some of the coffee one. Flavoured ice creams are a hit or miss because sometimes you can barely taste the flavour but the flavours here are very strong which is super yummy!

Melted chocolate is so bussin. And honey berry. servers nice and location is beautiful

There are so many great flavours and amazing non-diary ice cream!! Love the location too.

Delicious ice cream with excellent service. The salted caramel and cardamom is our favourites!

Hot fudge, is not thick or hot. It is a weak, watery, chocolate syrup No-name brand. Or bought at costvo. Yuk. Not at all good.

Great variety of flavours to choose from. Quick and friendly service- despite lines looking long, the wait is never unreasonable.

Love Village ice cream and was so happy for Billy when he first told me he was opening it. It's such a cool place and great ice cream!

So happy to have stopped here during a quick stop in Calgary. We walked up and as described, it was in an area that you would not expect until you saw all the cars lining the street. The line was out the door on a cool Sunday evening but it moved fast. We tasted a couple options before choosing our flavors and prices were reasonable for such good and unique ice cream. The staff was very helpful and despite the line it moved quick. We ended up with single scoops of the carnival corn, village vanilla bean, cardamom & guava coconut milk. The flavors were all spot on and also not overwhelming. The carnival corn which we thought might be too much was very good and actually had popcorn in it. The cardamom was a treat and the vegan guava coconut milk was light but fresh with the fruit flavor and way creamier than I expected from coconut milk. While the ice cream was wonderful I truly enjoyed eating it out on the sitting area outside. It was perfect for enjoying good food with family & friends.

coffee ice-cream is the best Above all try for chocolate and coffee ice cream with your friends and colleagues

Went during the winter holidays and they were still packed with people. Staff was friendly and offers samples of flavors. They had unique flavors and even holiday ones. I tried the bourbon eggnog and earl grey on a cone and it was creamy and good! I especially loved the earl grey - very tasty! Definitely recommend to try them out, if I had more days to visit there I would've went back!

Always good ice cream! Totally worth it. I love their rotating flavours. They have a good social media presence too. Guide's Mint and Coconut are go-to's.

when you get ice cream you want good flavours and a good size! this place nailed both of them. wife got guide's mint & honeyberry. Honeyberry was the most delicious of the 2! I got phil & sebastian coffee (if you like coffee, this is THE ic to get!) and one of their rotating flavours (it wasn't memorable.. so i assume it wasn't that amazing). The one thing I really liked about this place is their service was second to none. The guy let us try many flavours (like 5 or 6 shared between 2 of us) before committing and didn't make us feel guilty for doing it - he actually suggested it! Small things like that really make a place stand-out. highly recommend a stop-by if you're in the area.

The ice cream is great. The huckleberry ice cream vegan option tastes like soap and isn't recommended at all. I thought I would explore but ya don't lol. It's literally the first ice cream I have ever thrown out before. Everything else is good.

Excelente variety of flavours, locally made and amazing customer service. The ambience is also very inviting and it's a Must go place in calgary

Great ice cream, friendly staff, at good prices. Definitely got to try it if you're visiting Calgary and gotta satisfy your sweet tooth. I got the early grey and strawberry cheesecake on a 0 degree weather day. Both was awesome, did not regret it.

Depending on the night You may be in for a long wait, but its worth it! The seasonal flavours are very inclusive! I am not dairy friendly and i love that there are many options!! I'm very glad that cash payments are the norm again, i save up my change for this biweekly treat! I have had a couple times of staff being less friendly than usual, but perhaps that has been on the busier nights.

Omg. My first and only time here so far and I have to list it as One of my fave ice cream places already. Even when it was cold as heck outside at night. There was a mini line waiting to order some ice cream. Call us crazy but it was good. My pick is early grey then salted caramel cause my friend wouldn't me not have SCarmel as a choice cause he didn't want me to miss out. But secretly I still prefer earl grey TBH. Plus it's harder to find someone who will make it and good on top of that. You can choose to have it as a sundae or a cup or cone. But the scoop is so big...unless you are sharing then go for two scoops, or if you want to try another flavor like me. one scoop is 5 bucks and 7 for two! Two buck dif? I got suckered in for two that way but it was all good.

One of the original super premium ice cream places in Calgary and they have stood the test of time if visiting be careful when the lineups are Killer

Ummm... one word: SPECTACULAR! I haven't had ice cream this good in so long! I've pretty much gone in and tried all their flavors and my absolute favorite is the earl grey. However, their summer flavors are super delicious as well; toasted coconut, coconut lime made with coconut milk, birthday cake... Too many flavors to choose from. And if you love Phil and Sebastian's coffee, they have their flavored coffee ice cream! Gahhh!!! I'd go back if I could, every day!!!!

Wow, the ice cream here is unbelievably creamy!! This place came highly recommended to me by a family friend, and I can see why. There's a wide array of flavors: from the more basic (vanilla) to some more fancy ones (maple pecan, chocolate coconut milk, huckleberry). We ordered a single scoop of the salted caramel in a cup and a single scoop of the Boston cream pie flavor in a waffle cone. The Boston cream pie had chocolate chunks and cake pieces throughout, which added texture and flavor to the full flavor of the creamy base. The salted caramel was equally delicious, with a nice contrast between that sweet and salty. Highly recommend!! And get the cone if you can!

Excellent ice cream that tastes like it did when I was a child. I believe they use real ingredients and I know they source local coffee and tea for their coffee and tea flavors. It's a lovely treat on a warm day, or even a cold one!

Food is absolutely amazing. It's in a good community and employees are very nice. Not always busy. The aesthetic is very pleasing.

Highly recommend the Bridgeland location! Such a cute ice cream shop with AMAZING ice cream! We love coming to try the new flavors of the month. They haven't disappointed us yet!

We came here a little after 9pm on a Sunday night and it was busier then we expected. But they were handling it with flying colors especially with all the samples my group was asking for-sorry about that! Everyone in my group loved their ice cream! I had a scoop of honey berry and everything mark loves. Both had great flavor and texture! I would definitely come back here again if I was in Calgary!

Best ice cream in Calgary. Hmm... Maybe I'll go tonight. I wonder if I tell my kids that we're going to to, how fast they'll be in the car?

Reason for Visit: Wanted to check out what the hype about with this ice ream. Menu: I see some usual flavors like strawberry and chocolate. However, I do see some unique things like Earl Grey, huckleberry, toasted coconut, and phil+ sebastian coffee. First thing that jumped to me is how cheap it is. Much cheaper than other competitors. I got their Earl Grey and coffee double scoop in a cup. First thing I notice is the size. I got a mini tub of ice cream. My goodness, these guys don't hold back. Service: Amazing staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere: Very neat place. No tables, but benches around and lots of people do stick around to enjoy their ice cream. Overall: Very pleased. Highly recommended. I do want to mention it is in the middle of no where, so just keep walking.

Maple Pecan, Guide's Mint Salter Caramel, Cardamom....... Just cannot get enough of them!
