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.

Les saveurs disponibles sont très limiter. Les contenants de saveurs populaire sont pratiquement vide. L'échantillon goûter ( cerise noir/ chocolat) semblait délicieux. La portion obtenue en raclant le fond du contenant n'avait plus ce goût agréable. C'était triste en bouche, un arrière goût de savon.
J'aurais aimé une crème glacée'molle' mais la saveur de melon de miel ne m'a pas'interpellé'.
L'employé était gentille & son service courtois.
Visiblement, je préfère les crémeries plus classiques.

We have been coming here every summer since they first opened. This summer we couldn't wait to come back… we came the week after victoria day.
But we ended up waiting almost 30 minutes to get our ice cream because there was a huge line almost to the door & there was only one employee behind the counter working as fast as she could & to her credit she was so gracious & calm despite being clearly overwhelmed. Honestly a star employee.

At least 3 other employees were in the back either on their phone or eating ice cream & didn't seem to care at all to help out.

We got there excited for ice cream & my 2 year old daughter had a meltdown after waiting 20 minutes… ice cream is supposed to be a fun family activity but it felt like the management just didn't care to make it a great experience anymore.

They also didn't seem to have properly set up the place for summer… it was a very disappointing visit where it feels like the management has just taken for granted that the ice cream is popular. While it is still great, the now expensive price & insanely long wait make it less enticing.
