CHAT-COLATE offers a cozy, cat themed vibe in the Old Port with warm hot chocolate, creamy ice creams and seasonal sorbets, plus quirky cat merchandise that invites lingering; the staff is generally warm and efficient and the decor earns many compliments for charm and comfort. Reviews highlight the depth of chocolate, balanced classics and a handmade feel, with seasonal flavors and dairy free options that broaden the appeal, but some note inconsistent hours, crowded small tables, and prices that can feel high for what is offered, and a few experiences mention items that don’t seem fully homemade. Taken together, CHAT-COLATE comes across as a beloved cat loving dessert stop with a playful, vintage atmosphere and a mix of indulgent treats.
Warm & inviting atmosphere, with different ice cream flavors to choose from. Their nutella crêpes are to die for & their iced latte always hits the spot 🤤
First time visiting-we were just craving ice cream/sorbets. They had all the usual options, & nothing disappointed. The mango flavor was especially good.
It's a cute, cat-themed café. There was only one staff member on saturday evening, but she still delivered professional service.
We are locals & this is our fav place in Montreal's Old port for ice cream, gelato & so much more.
Owner is delightful & always ready to serve the best food & refreshments. I would highly recommend. Thank you for being opened year round!
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.
It was our first visit, & this adorable cat themed café instantly stole our hearts. Tucked away in the heart of Old Port, its the kind of place where you want to slow down, soak in cozy warm atmosphere with little vintage touches.
We ordered hot chocolate, which was perfectly comforting not overly sweet, just right for a cozy pause. They also have a lovely selection of ice creams & baked treats, making it hard to choose just one 😻

We walked in & we're greeted immediately with a warm smile. If you love cats, that have some cool gifts in there. A great place for an espresso or icecream.

Das Eis schmeckt ausgezeichnet und auch die Bedienung ist sehr nett. Wir hatten total den Spaß mit ihr.
Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für den Preis, da dieser eher teuer ist.
Chat-Cholate in Montréal has great products, but the hours are honestly confusing & don't seem to coordinate with when the actual store is open. I've come by during the'posted' hours only to find the place closed, which is frustrating-especially when you go out of your way to stop there. It makes it hard to plan a visit & doesn't give a great impression of reliability.
The chocolate itself is good when you can actually get it, but the inconsistency with opening times really needs to be fixed.
Très bonne crêpe (un peut trop de nutella pour moi mais c'est une question de goût) le milkshake était bon lui aussi. Petite ambiance marrante & calme dans une ambiance musicale très agréable. Je trouve par contre que c'est très chère.
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!
