Review Summary

Mi-Station reviews point to a hot day visit with a long line and only a few staff, which can slow things down, with a menu mainly offering vanilla and chocolate and some wish for more flavors. The ice cream is described as smooth, tasty, and a good size, though a few notes mention it can be a bit too creamy and that sugar content is reasonable; praise appears for fast service, cleanliness, and organization, while others feel the experience is decent but not especially special due to the classic flavors. A coffee ice cream option gets positive mention, and the bottom line is that Mi-Station is a solid choice for ice cream on a busy weekend if patience is available.View restaurant profile

Saint-Hubert Longueuil

Review Summary

Folie Glacée receives mixed feedback, with many praising delicious ice creams and a wide range of flavors and toppings. Some visits feature warm, friendly service, while others describe brisk or impersonal counter vibes. Texture issues are common, with gelato and sorbet described as grainy or icy on several occasions, though an update later notes improvements. Flavors are often described as true and tasty, and several reviewers are willing to give a second chance after reopening or seasonal changes. A few comments complain about staff attitude and the pace at the counter, which can detract from the experience even when the ice cream itself is good. Overall, the consensus is that Folie Glacée has strong potential and reasonable prices, but texture consistency and service quality seem to vary by visit.View restaurant profile

Ice Cream Parlor

Mont-Choco

Review Summary

Mont-Choco delivers excellent gelato and sorbets with a homemade feel at fair prices, and the flavors, textures, and variety are repeatedly praised; the ice creams are described as delicious and satisfying, with some reviews mentioning good espresso and friendly staff. However, during busy periods the place becomes crowded and lacks a proper queue, causing confusion; service can feel slow and inconsistent as some staff seem undertrained or inattentive, and there are complaints about tipping appearing before payment and about discounts not being applied. Additional criticisms include uneven lunchtime service, a few instances of inattentive or dour staff, and receipts lacking detail; cleanliness of the back area and the overall ambiance of the terrace are also cited as areas for improvement. Despite these issues, the products are described as excellent and worth the visit, indicating strong potential if the service and operations are aligned with the quality of the gelato.View restaurant profile

Mirabel

Review Summary

Reviews of Mr. Pretzels highlight a warm, attentive staff and a welcoming vibe, with customers noting friendly service and explanations of the pretzel technique that make the visit enjoyable even when times are busy or closing is near. Praise for the staff's consistency and kindness appears across many comments, though there are some criticisms about service speed and occasional dissatisfaction with pretzel portions, including remarks about very thin or small pretzels and the frustration of a second one being smaller. Despite the mix on size, the overall impression centers on hospitable, customer focused service that leaves a positive memory, while a few visits fall short on portion satisfaction.View restaurant profile
