Review Summary

CA LEM Crèmerie Creamery is described as a trendy, attractive spot with sophisticated flavors and a seriously pleasant overall experience. Amazing sorbet is highlighted, with flavors like honey lavender, cantaloupe and strawberry with lychee, and the real fruit notes making the flavors pop, and the weekly soft serve flavors are noted as unique. The staff and the owner are repeatedly praised for kindness and friendliness, and the place is often called the best ice cream in the city, with many visitors returning for second or third helpings. The offerings include strong vegan options and good value for money, and the croffles are a welcome addition when soft serve is unavailable. However, some reviews mention occasional disappointments with sherbets or certain flavors, limited flavor availability at times, tasteless sorbet samples, and long lines or staffing issues that affect the experience. Overall the place is considered a must visit for ice cream lovers, beloved for creative flavors, a lively atmosphere, and steady return visits from regulars.

I had heard about this place for years. I finally went this year. I had the strawberry Litchi sorbet that was delicious. I enjoyed the sample of the blueberry matcha ice cream flavor that my mom devoured & loved the Grapefruit peach flavor as well. The prices compared to portion was very affordable. Also really enjoyed their brownie cookie. Shame on me for taking so long to come & enjoy. Im glad I went. I would definitely go back. If you haven't had a chance to go yet, you should orput it on your list for next year.

Went to Ca Lem for a late-night sweet treat, & it was definitely a gem! This local spot in the Old Port is a must-visit. We couldn't decide on just one flavor, so we went with three: Citron Yuzu sorbet, Taro Mauve, & Lime Mojito Granita. All were incredible-great flavor profiles & not overpriced at all.

The location itself has such a lively vibe, always bustling with people for a good reason. The music in the background, the neon lights, & the quirky compliments sticky notes on the bar all added to the fun atmosphere. The service was excellent too, with friendly staff making the experience even better.

I'll definitely be back soon for more of their delicious creations!

This place is a true gem near the Loyola Campus. Cute place to sit & get ice cream with many flavors to choose from both scooped & soft serve. They are one of the few shops that change the flavor of the soft serve monthly which I love. Their ice cream colors are also so vibrant! Some of the most vibrant I've seen. Definitely coming back to try more flavors

Calem is one of the go-to ice cream spot in Montreal! They always have interesting flavors. My personal go-tos are Pandan-Coco & Black Sesame. Definitely give it a try! The NDG location is actually very charming.
