Village Ice Cream is an independently owned, small-batch ice cream business located in the heart of Calgary. With the first location opening in 2012 in Victoria Park, there are now 6 locations across the city including Britannia Plaza, Garrison Woods, Bridgeland, University District and the newest location located in West District. We’re dedicated to making hand-made traditional ice cream in decidedly un-traditional shops. Our shops are for people to gather, share old memories, and create new ones. A place to wind down or rev up. A place to connect with fellow Villagers. Or, you know, a place to grab a pint of Salted Caramel for just you and a spoon – we get it.&nbsp;
