Many customers praise the rich flavors of specialties like the apple crumble, matcha pistachio, and various sorbets, often highlighting the generous portion sizes and creamy textures.

Well, I guess I just found the best ice cream spot in the city. Tried four flavors - Apple Crumble, Tiramisu, Oreo Framboise, & Fruits des Champs - because why not? Apple Crumble & Tiramisu absolute perfection , but honestly, every flavor was ridiculously good. Creamy, packed with flavor, & worth driving to.
Tried their pistachio matcha ice cream & loved it!! A bit overpriced, but the portion is huge, packed with pistachio, & not too sweet. The apple crumble ice cream was also so good, filled with apple crumble pieces. I really hope they open a downtown location one day because it's way too far from me.
Went to Hoche Glacé with some friends & we were all impressed by the quality of the ice cream! We tried the apple crumble & tiramisu turbillons & a chocolate milkshake.
The apple crumble turbillon was one of the best things I've ever had!!! The combination of flavours & textures was amazing, & the apples themselves were cooked to perfection. I was worried that it'd just be a vanilla ice cream with some toppings, but that wasn't the case at all: a delicious & generous portion of crumble is mixed into the ice cream base.
Unfortunately, the he tiramisu turbillon was somewhat disappointing, as it had an odd aftertaste. I'm not big on chocolate milkshake, but my friends liked it, although they did say it could've been thicker.
Big shoutout to the kind cashier who, despite the MASSIVE line, was incredibly patient with our questions & my broken French 😅

I'm on a quest to find the very best ice cream in Montreal & suburbs I tried quite a bit on different places that are well known & I keep coming back to you Hoche Glacé 💞 so so in love with your Tiramisu Tourbillon & Oreo Rasberry . I'm coming back this week for your Apple crumble can't wait delicious 😋 Regards Gina
Absolutely amazing! Took visiting family here & they were blown away by the flavours & quality. We tried the brownie, tiramisu, & apple crumble tourbillons - every single one was perfection. Super friendly staff made the experience even better!
The matcha & pistachio Tourbillon, how can I even describe it? Green upon green, lusciously sweet, emerald, nutty dust rolling over the frosted body as snow on a mountain top. A delicate crunch of pistachio punctuating the soft cold, like gently stepping on a rock in a riverbed (you will need to really like pistachio & very sweet things for your experience to be this poetic). The apple crumble ice cream was equally unique & delicious: [insert poem here].
A lovely location with great staff, & bien sûr, des glaces incroyables (obviously). Although as some other reviewers have commented, the prices are a bit too steep.
They have these amazing vegan flavors, & the Pistachio Matcha is seriously out of this world. If you're looking for a second favorite, the Apple Crumble is a close one, & the Tiramisu is third on my list. They also have dairy ice cream if that's your thing. The service is top-notch. The staff is super nice, really patient, & they let you try samples before you decide. Plenty of free street parking & nice seating place on site. This place is definitely in my top 3 ice cream spots in Montreal. Highly recommend checking it out!
