Ca Lem : Nothing says summer like a mouth-watering flavourful ice cream. It's time our friendly neighbourhood NDG let us satisfy your favourite summertime indulgence of fresh ice creams, sorbets, and homemade soft-serve swirls. From our 18 delightful flavours of creamy to fruity, hard to soft, or even a mix, you can never be short on options. And why settle for the classics when you could try out exotic flavours, made from scratch, like Pandan, Taro, Lychee, Milk Tea and Vietnamese coffee with a modern twist.
CA LEM Crèmerie Creamery is a trendy spot with a lively vibe and a creative, ever changing lineup of flavors, from wow sorbets like honey lavender, cantaloupe and strawberry lychee to bold picks such as mojito gelato and pandan, plus vegan options; the staff are kind and the owner is seen as sweet, making it feel welcoming, and portions are generous with good value, though some visits note long lines, limited popular flavors, and occasional inconsistencies or disappointments with samples or soft serve when available; overall it stands out as a must visit ice cream destination in Montreal with fun flavors and a sense of discovery.
'La crème glacée est absolument délicieuse, un vrai régal ! Le monsieur qui servait à l'intérieur était vraiment très gentil & accueillant. Le seul petit point d'amélioration serait l'aménagement de la salle : un décor un peu plus chaleureux ou luxueux rendrait l'expérience encore plus agréable. Une belle adresse pour les gourmands
The ice cream itself is decent, but the experience is often frustrating. There's frequently only one employee working, which easily leads to 15+ minute lineups. On my last visit, the bathroom floor was also soaked, which didn't help. Hopefully management considers adding more staff- the product deserves better service.

Ca Lem NEVER disappoints. Would love that they have 2 to 3 staff at a time. There's alot of people to serve on warm days & 1 person must be exhausted. Love how they always serve tired or not with pleasant smiles.
Dont forget to tip. 💚
Amazing sorbet! You can feel the real fruit the flavors are wow! I highly recommend honey lavender, cantaloupe & strawberry with lichi. The service is very kind!

Best ice cream in the city! Their weekly soft-serve flavours are always unique & I check their Instagram religiously to check in. Soft serve is closed for now, but the new croffles are incredible ❤? We loved them so much we went back for a second right away! The owner is also really sweet. After almost 10 years, they truly deserve all their success & more.
Très bon rapport qualité prix
On trouve bien plus cher pour bien moins bon dans certaines enseignes'connues' à Montréal
Une délicieuse surprise sans lactose
I didn't love the sherbets I tried... unfortunately, the stars & reviews were not adequate for the products I tried. Part of the reason might be my own expectations as I was hoping to try something more alike to what I got back home (Mexico) this summer.

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.
Cute atmosphere outside , & the ice creams are really at an affordable price, I bought 2 cones ice creams for me & my brother & we're shocked that it was less than 10$ total!
