Chocomax is celebrated for rich, handmade ice cream and chocolates, standout hot chocolate, and a warm, family-run atmosphere with friendly service and homemade desserts. Reviewers praise creative flavors, high quality ingredients, and a cozy, welcoming vibe, calling it a local gem and a must-visit for gelato, crepes, and cocoa. Some critiques mention occasional service inconsistencies and pricing concerns, with a few guests feeling rushed or not fully welcomed, but overall the product quality and inviting ambiance keep bringing people back.
They serve gelato here! & not just any gelato... amazing home-made gelato! What a great place to come on a summer day or especially evening to choose 2 or 3 scoops of their different flavours in a sugar cone & then sit in one of their cute comfortable patio chairs & small patio table & watch life go by in the heart of Saint-Laurent on a huge sidewalk made just for this purpose. After I get through all of their gelato flavours, I'll start on the chocolate, which looks just as amazing. A very hospitable son told me that this is a family run shop around for 35 years, mom is a trained chef, & there are classic French crêpes coming this fall. Stay tuned.

DISAPPOINTING. I've been going to chocomax since i was a little girl. used to be owned by a passionate man who loved the craft of making chocolate & gelato/used to be the best gelato in town. now it feels overpriced, the service is bad, prices unclear/seems like they force you to tip or something. stomach ache immediately. was so excited to visit from out of town & have a proper milkshake…well now it's a 10$ cup of milk that was too sweet to finish. no ice-cream in there to shake. Never been so disappointed with a gelato spot in my life. I MISS THE OLD CHOCOMAX made with love, not with greed.
*****added after the response from establishment below:
based on the passive aggressive response, pretty in-line with the service received in general, please don't worry about what i will & won't be reading. I obviously don't plan on coming back. appreciate the friendly & family-oriented response that, don't worry, has been screenshotted. my mistake to assume a 10$ milkshake would contain more than just milk & sugar. good luck with the business, too bad it was sold to whoever is running it now, leaving such professional & apologetic responses.
PS i would have skipped through but the server clicked buttons behind the counter, inside a drawer & hidden, then she clicked through the card machine herself. i didn't even have a chance to touch the machine at all which felt very sketchy to me.

Amazingly delicious ice cream! My kids & I loved the cherry, chocolate pistachio, & litchi flavours. The owner & her son were also so sweet & detailed in packing our chocolate gifts :) Highly recommend & can't wait to visit again!
📍 A Hidden Gem for Ice Cream & Chocolate Lovers in Montreal! 🍫🍦
I've officially become addicted to this place! I've been going almost every day with my kids - that's how good it is. 😍
The ice cream is incredibly rich, flavorful, & simply unforgettable. Every scoop tastes like it was made with love.
& the chocolate? Next-level quality! 🍫 Everything in the shop is handcrafted with real skill & artistry - you can taste the difference.
What makes the experience even better is the warm welcome from Ms. Nour, the lovely owner, & her kids. Their kindness & generosity make the visit even sweeter.
Highly recommend this place - a true local treasure you don't want to miss!
Both mother & son were amazing & friendly. The chocolate was pricey but tasted amazing. The ice-cream is worth coming back for. One of the best gelato I have ever tasted. Overall, it was an amazing experience
