Une crème glacée/gelato maison absolument délicieuse, préparée avec des ingrédients de haute qualité ! Nour, la propriétaire, met un point d'honneur à offrir des produits faits avec des ingrédients naturels, & ça se goûte à chaque bouchée. De plus, elle est toujours chaleureuse & accueillante. J'aime beaucoup soutenir son commerce. Un grand merci, Nour, pour cette belle expérience !

Les meilleurs croissants, & de loin, dans un périmètre de plusieurs km. Osez comparer. Les glaces & le chocolat chaud n'ont rien à voir avec ce qu'on retrouve ailleurs. Les chocolats au gingembre? Pour adultes seulement. Il faut les goûter avec la délicatesse & la lenteur qu'ils méritent. Accueil très avenant de la nouvelle direction.

This is a cozy & welcoming place ❤? The owner is incredibly kind, warm, & hospitable. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comforting, home-like experience.
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!

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.
