The date

Parachute is the Victoria area's homegrown ice cream name, and its Langford shop puts small batch scoops right on Goldstream Avenue in the walkable downtown core. The flavours rotate and reward nerve, Vietnamese coffee, London Fog, key lime, with solid vegan and gluten free options, and the counter it shares with Victoria Pie Co means you can chase a scoop with a slice of pie. It sits steps from the bowling alley and the pickleball courts, which makes it the obvious sweet stop to end a Langford date on a high note.

How to do it

Walk over on Goldstream Avenue and read the rotating flavour board before you commit; the nervy ones are the point. Get a scoop, add a slice from Victoria Pie Co if the mood is right, and eat it on the walkable strip. Twenty to forty minutes, and you are steps from the rest of downtown Langford.
