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.
