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.
Sure it's expensive but I it's probably the best (not something I say lightly) ice cream I've ever tried. They only have a few flavors but boy do they live up to the expectations. No artificial flavoring or dyes, only pure intensive taste.

That joy you have when you know something is going to be good, & then it's even better than you anticipated - That's getting a Swirl soft serve. THE best soft serve I've ever had. Flavour combinations are original & amazing. The flavours seem to be different every time I go, so that tells me they make everything fresh themselves.
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.
Amazing discovery today! If you haven't been GO! The place is perfect; Slick design, super clean, original flavours & efficient service with a smile! We will be back ;)

So so good. I can't believe it took me this long to try it. Prices are a bit on the high end at $7 for a cone, but I think it's my new favourite ice cream. You also get a good amount for what you pay. I didn't believe my friend when he said it was non-dairy, but, it's a bit more evident in the vanilla (very mild coconut(?) flavour). Check their Instagram to see what flavours they have, because they rotate flavours. I've never liked strawberry ice cream. I don't know if I ever will like strawberry ice cream from anywhere but this place. It's tart, sweet, & tastes so fresh. I had to go back the next day just to get it again before they changed their flavours. I tried a bit of the chocolate & matcha & that was also great- chocolate flavour was rich, & the matcha was bitter (in a good way) without being overpowering. Texture is great. Service is great. It's just a window, so no seating inside.
Delicious organic coconut milk based + fruit soft serve ice cream. Tried the four flavours currently being offered: Madagascar Vanilla, Quebec strawberry, Chocolate & Matcha. All the flavors were really good, but my favorite was the Vanilla & Strawberry swirl. Vanilla had a mild coconut flavor & strawberry tasted like real fresh strawberries. The service was super kind & friendly. Instagram: @swirlmtl
Swirl is hands down the best in the city. I've ditched all other ice cream joints. We drive an hour every week just to get our fix of their latest flavor-yes, it's that good. They serve out flavors that make you question every life choice that led you to eat mediocre ice cream before. The other day, they had Starberry/Vanilla Swirl, & it was so good, I nearly wept into my cone. Swirl's ice cream is so divine, it should come with a halo. It's gotten to the point where other ice cream shops feel like those sad little convenience store pints you buy when you're having a rough week. No, thank you. I want the good stuff. So, if you haven't been to Swirl yet, do yourself a favor. Clear your schedule, hop in the car, & prepare to experience the best of frozen desserts. Just don't blame me if you become an addict after your first scoop.
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.
