About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Victoria on Shelbourne Street, Snowy Village Victoria is a delightful dessert haven that specializes in authentic Korean-style shaved ice, known as Bingsoo. This charming spot invites dessert lovers to indulge in a refreshing and visually stunning assortment of snowflake shaved ice creations, beautifully complemented by inventive toppings and flavors that make every visit a sweet adventure.

The magic of Snowy Village lies in its masterful craftsmanship of Bingsoo—light, fluffy, and silky-shaved ice that melts luxuriously on the tongue. Among the standout offerings, the Large Oreo Snow Ice Bingsu is a decadent treat, combining creamy textures with familiar cookie crunch, while the Watermelon Bingsu offers a succulent, fruity burst that perfectly balances sweetness and freshness. For those who appreciate the delicate bitterness of tea, the Green Tea Bingsoo delivers earthy notes that harmonize exquisitely with the creamy snow ice.

One cannot miss their signature Yogurt Bingsu options, particularly the Large Strawberry Yogurt Bingsu and Large Mango Yogurt Bingsu, both crafted with 100% real fruit, fresh whipped cream, and sweetened condensed milk, layering flavors that are rich, yet refreshingly light. These choices have earned loyal fans among locals and visitors alike for their perfect balance of natural sweetness and indulgence.

Beyond Bingsoo, Snowy Village Victoria tempts with an array of complementary desserts like Taiyaki—warm, fish-shaped pastries with delightful fillings that provide a wonderful contrast to the icy treats. The Cheesecake Shaved Ice and Rice Cake Bingsoo are favorites among patrons seeking creamy and chewy textures that enrich the dessert experience. Those with a sweet tooth will appreciate the unique Cheese Mochi and the golden, buttery goodness of the Golden Cheese Toast.

The café also serves meticulously crafted iced beverages, including an Iced Americano that boasts a clean, bold espresso kick and an Iced Caramel Macchiato that layers smoothness with sweet caramel drizzle—a perfect pairing for the desserts or simply to refresh during a hot afternoon.

While Snowy Village’s seating is petite, the warm, welcoming service shines brightly. Customers consistently mention the friendly and polite staff who create a calm and inviting atmosphere amidst the busy dessert rush. Reviews reveal a genuine appreciation for both the generous portion sizes—easily enough to share—and the careful attention to flavor balance, ensuring the sweetness never overwhelms but rather delights the palate.

Whether you’re treating yourself to the crave-worthy Brown Sugar and Cheesecake Bingsoo, delighting in the visually stunning and refreshing Watermelon Bingsoo, or savoring the chewy textures in the Injeolmi Toast, every bite at Snowy Village Victoria is a celebration of texture and flavor that leaves a lasting impression. It’s no surprise that patrons vow to return time and again, drawn by the quality, presentation, and genuine hospitality nestled within this buzzing local gem.

For anyone seeking an extraordinary dessert journey in Victoria, Snowy Village Victoria offers a sweet escape that captivates the senses and warms the heart—one silky spoonful at a time.

    I tried brown sugar and cheese cake bingsoo and they are good. I liked the cheese cake bingsoo better than the brown sugar bingoo because of the cheesecake cubes in it. The portions are really big. More than enough for 2 people sharing. The lady at the counter is very polite and sweet!

    It was delicious dessert, my husband and I enjoyed it. Saw someone having watermelon bingso and he said it was really good my eyes went big. The owner was very polite and friendly to everybody. Will definitely comeback! Got take out for mom too.

    Seating capacity is very limited and that’s never discouraged me. I’m the kind of person that would order and eat it outside standing haha. It's a very busy place and items can run out very fast. Luckily they had the mango bingsoo and the taiyaki. The dessert is very refreshing and delicious, not overly sweet. The taiyaki is yummy. Overall it's a great experience and I would love to try other items on the menu. Prices are a bit steep but judging the demographics of this area, people are willing to spend if it's good. If I’m in Victoria again I’ll definitely come back.

    I highly recommend this place- the presentation is great, the service is lovely, and the taste is not to sweet, but just right for my taste buds. I had the Injeolmi flavored dessert (first photo), with the rice cakes. So delicious! Unfortunately the lovely desserts take time to make, and orders were coming in so quick before closing that the worker (working solo) had to stop orders an hour before closing. Take out orders were ringing, and a line up was forming, all just before that final hour. It also didn't help that we were a group of 5, and we wanted each a dessert, and some sort of Taiyaki (dessert pastry with various typws of filling). The worker stayed calm and continued to work to fill orders. Thankfully us customers were patiently waiting for our desserts. It was worth the wait. Definitely going to give another try on another day to see if wait times are consistent.

    Amazing customer service! She was so sweet and helpful. We got watermelon bingsoo and Nutella taiyaki. It was amazing! The watermelon was delicious and refreshing. Definitely recommend checking out, very calm atmosphere. 10/10.

    Oreo bingsoo was great. Think the lady was running out of blueberry drizzle for the blueberry bingsoo, but still tasted good. She was operating the whole establishment by herself. Very much appreciated the effort. Had a hilarious chat about us both being from Alberta. Prices very affordable: I swear cheaper than the Richmond location. Only around $12. The ginger herbal tea was great for my stuffy nose during the rain. Would definitely comeback and recommend. Location had a minimalist vibe. Owner puts a lot of effort into.

    So a cute place, the Bingsoo is so incredible. I love the texture - it's like eating powder snow, and because it's not so rich like ice cream you can eat lots! We tried the chocolate and strawberry - the cheesecake topping is delicious, fruit is fresh. The lady was very lovely and friendly. Worth the wait for these little masterpieces. Would be a great date to come and share one of the big ones.
