Crèmerie SWIRL earns praise for its creamy coconut-based soft serve and weekly rotating flavors that keep things fresh for vegan and non-dairy eaters, with many noting high-quality, indulgent textures and a sense of novelty as new flavors appear each week. The small seasonal menu and walk-up service help lines move quickly, though a few reviews describe the selection as limited and the prices as steep for the portion size. Flavors span hojicha chocolate, black sesame, genmaicha, passionfruit vanilla and other tropical or dessert-inspired blends, with some weeks delivering standout combinations while others feel more ordinary. Opinions vary between top-tier recommendations and criticisms of value, but the place is often described as friendly, fast, and a welcome addition to Montreal's vegan ice cream scene. The setting in a pleasant area near a park invites strolls, and the rotating flavors encourage repeat visits to try the latest creations, with many returning weekly while others feel the offerings don't always justify the cost. Overall, Crèmerie SWIRL appears to be a popular, rotating flavor destination that many customers rate highly, even as some reviews flag price or variety as drawbacks.
My fav ice cream spot of the summer! Vegan soft swirl options that change every week, you get to choose from two options & they're all so good & homemade! Very friendly service as well

The tastiest soft-serve with the friendliest service in town. Bonus: it's coconut-based & vegan, but even the most devoted dairy lover will marvel at the thick, creamy mouthfeel & satisfying richness of this frozen treat.
Tasty vegan soft serve with a nostalgic twist! The coconut aroma might throw you at first if you're not a fan, but trust me-your taste buds will adapt. Fast, friendly service & a great addition to Montreal's already stellar vegan scene. Would be five stars if the coconut aroma could be dialled down. We'll be back!

This is the best ice cream spot in all of Montreal! I'm not even vegan but I love it. The coconut base isn't overly coconut-y & the ice cream is always so delicious. Definitely the best vanilla soft serve I've had & the weekly flavours are always so delightful.
(Dear HR crew, if you're reading this... this is for you)
I think this place is fine... & just that. Definitely its upside is the vegan friendly options.
I do believe -after two visits- that I'm having a different experience from some of the folks reviewing this spot. Kudos to them for getting a stellar fix.
I think there's better spots in the city.. & yes, prices here are a tad high for soft-serve.
Seriously some of the best ice cream montreal has to offer, & it's vegan too! Their ice cream is made with coconut milk so it's uber creamy & has an incredible texture.
I like that their menu is rotating so you can try a variety of new flavors every time you go!

Delicious ice cream & the staff were amazingly nice! My boyfriend & I were staying nearby & noticed this place always had a line. We knew we had to try it! We split a chocolate vanilla swirl. We saw people showing up with rewards cards & thought it seemed like some sort of ice cream cult with how many people seemed to be obsessed with it. We thought it tasted a bit creamier than the chocolate vailla swirls we have back home, but then later on learned it was vegan with a coconut milk base! That's why it tasted so different! I took a lactaid pill not even knowing, but really appreciated that it was dairy free. If you're nearby, it's worth the stop!

The BEST vegan ice cream- arguably better than regular ice cream. Cannot really taste the fact that it's a coconut base, & their flavour choices are perfect.
Perhaps one of the best if not the best vegan soft serve ice cream I've had. The texture & taste is incredible. Service is great & fast, prices are reasonable.
