CHAT-COLATE is widely regarded as an adorable, cat-themed destination in Montreal's Old Port that excels at providing a cozy atmosphere and a variety of delicious treats like ice cream, sorbet, and hot chocolate. While many visitors praise the friendly service, creative flavors, and charming decor filled with cat-themed merchandise, others feel the pricing is quite high and sometimes inconsistent. Experiences regarding cleanliness and opening hours vary significantly, though many patrons enjoy the shop as a unique and refreshing stop, particularly for those who appreciate whimsical surroundings and quality refreshments.
Adorable shop, perfect for cat lovers but very expensive
Small sized hot chocolate was $9
Dirty Chai $7
1 scoop ice cream + cup $8
A cup for the ice cream is $0.45
The mango sorbet was excellent
The dirty chai & hot chocolate was very average. Not worth the price.

Amazing shop! Staff was super sweet & patient with the customers! Tried the raspberry lime sorbet, it was delicious! The latte was also very well made! 10/10 would recommend!
Stopped on a sub-zero day for a deliciois hot chocolate in this tiny, adorable coffee/snack shop. If you love cats, you will love Chat ('cat' in French) Cholate - the cat-focussed decor & shop offerings are over the top! Offers ice cream & sorbet (we stuck to hot chocolate...it was -17°C!) for the summer months. Small, round café tables number less than 5 & are very packed together so no private conversations here. It was like being in a wonderland, the cat paraphernalia abounding. The owner is delightful, as was the experience. Pity I didn't take pictures.

CHAT-COLATE is easily one of the best ice cream shops in Montreal. The texture is ultra-creamy, the flavours are creative without being gimmicky, & classics (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry) are perfectly balanced. I loved the depth of the chocolate & the bright fruitiness of the sorbets-so refreshing. Cones are crisp, portions are generous, & prices are fair.
Service is warm & efficient even when there's a line, & the shop has a cozy, cheerful vibe that makes you want to linger. Bonus points for seasonal flavours & a few dairy-free options, so everyone in our group found something to love.
If you're an ice-cream fan, put CHAT-COLATE at the top of your Montreal list. Highly recommended!
Purr-fect! If you're a cat lover, you MUST check this place out! I walked in without knowing about the shop, & was helped right away. I loved all the cat merchandise & knick knacks, & all the ice cream flavors looked delicious. I got brownie chocolate & cookie dough. Yum! Would absolutely come again if I lived here. 🐱🍨
I can't say enough good things about this gem of an ice cream shop! This is absolutely not a tourist trap-it's a small, artisanal spot run with genuine passion & talent where locals flock to for a nice treat during the day or for an after dinner stroll. The owner is a trained pastry chef who studied under none other than Christian Faure, & it shows in everything she makes, from the beautifully crafted ice creams to the delicate cookies & refreshing granitas.
The prices are in line with the rest of Montreal which comes as a good surprise, especially when you're getting real, quality ingredients & handcrafted desserts by a trained pastry chef.
The shop has a warm, welcoming atmosphere, & you can tell a lot of care goes into everything. Local or tourist, if you appreciate quality & love desserts made with heart & talent, this place is a must-visit!
