CHAT COLATE comes across as a cozy cat themed cafe in the Old Port, with charming cat paraphernalia, vintage touches, and a warm, friendly vibe that makes the space feel welcoming even when it is busy. Ice cream and sorbet are praised for texture and depth, with classics well balanced and seasonal flavors adding variety, while hot chocolate is described as comforting and not overly sweet. A range of sweets such as crepes and waffles are mentioned, and there are dairy free options for those who need them. Prices are often noted as a bit high, and a few reviews mention inconsistent hours that don’t always match posted times, which can be frustrating for planning. The shop is small and lively with seating packed together, offering a lively atmosphere but limited privacy. Some comments address cleanliness and the lack of an on site restroom, though service is generally warm and efficient. Overall, the place feels charming, cat friendly, and a solid pick for dessert lovers and cat enthusiasts.
Un bel écrin… mais la magie n'opère pas tout à fait
On est tout de suite charmé par le décor : lustres élégants, ambiance salon de thé à la parisienne, emplacement de rêve face au port… Mais très vite, on se rend compte que l'expérience ne suit pas vraiment. L'endroit est bruyant, avec un va-&-vient constant, & l'espace semble plus pensé pour la vente rapide que pour une pause gourmande. Les produits dérivés (badges, autocollants...) donnent une impression un peu trop marketing à mon goût.
Autre bémol : l'absence de service à table. Une seule personne gérait le comptoir malgré l'affluence, ce qui ralentit pas mal le service. La terrasse, pourtant bien située, manque clairement d'attention : un peu négligée, sans charme particulier.
Côté glace, le choix de parfums est plutôt limité. J'ai tenté le triple chocolat, mais j'ai été franchement déçue : rien de marquant, ni dans la texture ni dans le goût. En revanche, les gaufres artisanales façon galette avaient l'air appétissantes… Avec le recul, j'aurais peut-être dû opter pour ça !
Bref, une adresse qui en jette au premier regard, mais qui gagnerait à aller un peu plus loin dans la qualité de l'expérience.

After walking around for a while, it is such a rewarding place to stumble upon. Small & quaint space but very well decorated & strategically arranged seats for efficient crowd flow. The staff was very nice & patient.
Got an iced pistachio latté for $10. 💸 It tasted like a regular latté; barely a hint of pistachio. 😐🥲
Lots of stuff to buy with cats on it. Mugs, notebooks, journals, pens, bags & etc. 💞💕

Vraiment les prix sont exagérés. 16$ pour 2 boules ça n'a aucun sens. La crème glacée était bonne mais j'aurais dû regarder les prix avant d'acheter. J'ai eu ma leçon.
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. 🐱🍨

Cute place, with tons of cat themed items such as pins, cups, shirts & others. The ice cream was alright but the decor & location made the experience better.
Love this dessert place, cute & cozy in the heart of the old port, it's often open late & offers a nice variety of options. Love their ice cream cones & crepes! The service is also always nice & efficient!
