Best ice cream I've ever had! The owner checked us out and was incredibly sweet, taking the time to share the story behind the shop and how everything started. We were so excited to hear that the ice cream is made with clean ingredients and no additives. You really can taste the difference!! We got the pistachio and sea salt cream (with cookies) in the waffle cones and loved both flavors. Bonus: you can see them making the waffle cones fresh in the window. This will be our go to ice cream shop going forward in Victoria read more

Better Acres Ice Cream - Pistachio with waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Better Acres Ice Cream features small-batch, handmade, full-fat ice cream. Of course, it was rich, creamy, and decadent. They offered samples and a short list of flavors to choose from. Small shop with friendly staff! The two-scoop sea salt cream ice cream cone was decadent and delicious. We were already heading back to our cruise ship after eating dinner so we didn't have more room in our stomachs to try more. I wouldn't hestitate to go back again. read more

Great spot for ice cream on Government street. I got a mango kids scoop in a cone. The waffle cone was crispy and quite delicious. The ice cream was really creamy and flavorful. Long line, pleasant service who was happy to give samples, and pretty good price especially for what I thought was a large portion for a kids scoop. Would recommend! read more

Victoria was a stop on our cruise so beforehand I researched small businesses and wanted to visit. I'm lactose intolerant and was willing to risk it for this ice cream and it was 100% worth it. We got the salted maple, lemon, vanilla, and pistachio. It was delicious!!! The lemon had actual lemon zest in it and the salted maple was probably my favorite. Not too rich, perfect amount of creaminess. read more

Wow this ice cream was really good! It really does taste like it was made with high quality ingredients. The cones they make right in the window are soooo good too. There was one kid cooking the cones, one guy taking orders and making ice cream, and a third kid helping and working the pos and they were so efficient but it was funny to see they were fast and friendly. Lots of seating outside in a good spot downtown. read more

Loved my experience! I was drawn in by the smell of there deliciously made waffle cones and stayed for the great service. They had a long line but worked through it with exceptional customer service and warmth. Loved supporting a local family shop and they even gave me an extra ice cream instead of throwing out an incorrect order. How cool! I also really enjoyed the hay bale seating indoors. read more

This trip wasn't my first to BAIC. I had vowed to return every time I visit Victoria, because the first time was a mind-blowing experience! The owner is a person who cares about her craft. She also cares what you think of her craft and welcomes feedback. The store is so lovely and clean. Not too little, not too much. They have samples and a spoon slide. The spoon slide is my favorite; it's so much smarter to have reusable spoons, thereby reducing waste. The only "waste" I want to increase is my waistline, so I'm sure to hit them up. This visit I tried the California Pistachio, and my husband tried the Spiked Egg Nog. *snaps fingers in air twirling around* She. Does. Not. Miss. I abhor egg nog, but the ice cream was so good! The California Pistachio was like a dream. Truly nutty flavor with the creamy companion of the other ingredients. Yes, please! I don't care if there's a blizzard, I'm getting BAIC when I'm in Victoria! You should, too! read more

Such a cute little ice cream store that is farmed themed. We came on a Saturday and decided to try out some ice cream. The owner of the store was incredibly nice and let us try whatever flavours we wanted! They have seasonal flavors that aren't included on the menu such as mango lassi which is what we got. Since we weren't from the area, she gave us many recommendations on restaurants and things to do. The ice cream is made with quality fresh ingredients with no fillers added and the ingredients come from a local farm. Furthermore she also has organic fruits and other goodies for sale as well. Definitely come check this place out! They have a "spoon slide" for tester spoons. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

Such a cute shop and the owner was so nice! Fresh ingredients and great ice cream. The coffee & pistachio flavors were fantastic.

Among the worst ice cream I've ever had. The operative word is cream and what I had was not. The texture should be smooth and creamy. It was lumpy and grainy. The tastes weren't there for me either. The pistachio didn't hhsve the sweetness of the pistachio nut. The staff were nice enough and the shop is inviting however the product didn't make it for me. read more

We stumbled on this place as we were getting ready to end a day of sightseeing. We enjoyed simple and delicious scoops of ice cream, and we tasted some samples of sauces that are not yet on the menu. A young server was warm and friendly, and we were glad we stopped. This place is not a typical tourist trap and right now the ice cream menu is small, but there was fine with us! read more

Great ice cream. Reminded me of home my! Strawberry and salted maple was awesome! We were so impressed that it came from a local dairy farm. read more

This place is amazing!!! As a gluten free family we were absolutely delighted to find out everything is gluten free - including the cookies and cream AND cones! We never get cake cones (and they were delicious!) I love that they use high quality ingredients - no gums. There was no sacrifice on flavor or texture. Super smooth and creamy. Sweet but not overly sweet - perfect balance. I had the cookies and cream as did my kids and omg delicious!!! The shop itself is super cute and employees were very friendly. Highly highly recommend going here to enjoy their amazing ice cream!!! read more

First time in Canada and I have to say, Better Acres Ice Cream was the perfect place to celebrate. The ice cream was phenomenal, great taste, texture, and the staff was friendly/attentive as well. The inside of the ice cream place was a little packed but there's plenty of room outside to eat ice cream and enjoy the beautiful city. 5/5 read more
