Reviews describe Hoche Glacé as a beloved neighborhood ice cream spot with a wide variety of flavors and a strong focus on quality ingredients, including standout vegan and dairy free options that many say rival traditional dairy in taste and texture. The menu ranges from classic creamy scoops to sorbet and vegan soft serve, with favorites such as matcha pistachio, pistachio matcha tourbillon, apple crumble tourbillon, tiramisu tourbillon, and chocolate dips, and several tasters note generous portions and creative textures. While the ambiance is praised as cozy and welcoming with a pleasant sit down area, prices are frequently noted as high and some reviewers feel portions or value could be better, especially for certain tourbillons and toppings. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and patient, contributing to a strong neighborhood vibe, though a few visits report long lines, busy crowds, or occasional slow service. The store is seen as a destination for dairy free dessert lovers and to stroll around Hochelaga, with many recommending returning to try more flavors and to sample new flavors. Overall Hoche Glacé emerges as a top choice for ice cream in Montreal with a broad appeal to vegans and non vegans alike, but potential visitors should be prepared for peak time queues and higher prices relative to other spots.

Great selection of ice cream. Great options for dairy free (I guess vegan if you suppose) ice cream, that actually taste great. Went there 2 times, both times the dairy free options were almost indistinguishable to the regular ones.

INSANE ICE CREAM ! Les portions sont vraiment grande, je vous recommande le tourbillon Tiramisu. Ils ont une grande variété de choix & aussi des options véganes
On a 32 degree hot day, consider waiting in a big queue outside. Lots of options including vegan & dark chocolate. The female staff are young & hard workers. The best ice cream on Hochelaga street.

Glad to find vegan options ! They are more on the traditional side with sundaes, blizzards etc. They always have vegan vanilla ice cream + the flavour of the moment.
3/5 overall. Pros: - Vegan & lactose-free options - Very tasty vegan ice cream & good consistency - Very rich coffee, the real deal, the way I like it! Cons: - Very limited seating. Need more outdoor seating! - Lack of customer service from the cashier & person serving us. No smile, no thank you. - Poor lighting, makes it very hard to see the menu! - We didn't see any English anywhere. You are alienating your clientèle. We enjoyed our vegan ice creams, but have no desire to make the detour for this shop in the future, unless things change.

Hoche Glacé in Montreal is hands down one of the best ice cream shop I've ever visited! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a delightful array of flavors that are both unique & incredibly delicious. The quality of the ice cream is unmatched - every scoop is creamy, rich, & packed with flavor. One of the standout features of Hoche Glacé is their fantastic vegan ice cream options. They offer a variety of vegan flavors that are just as rich & delicious as their regular options. As someone who tries to avoid dairy, I was thrilled to find such high-quality vegan choices. The staff is friendly & always willing to offer recommendations if you're having trouble choosing from their amazing selection. The ambiance of the shop is cozy & welcoming, making it a great spot to relax & enjoy your treat. Whether you're a local or just visiting Montreal, Hoche Glacé is a must-visit for any ice cream lover. I can't wait to come back & try more flavors. Highly recommended!
Service sympathique, les options véganes sont délicieuses, & on encourage un marchand local! Leur gâteau framboise oreo végane est un vrai délice. Je recommande.
Hands down to the BEST soft serve EVERrrrr..!! Vegan icecream or not (I am vegan though), the quality of this icecream is creamy & drool worthy !! Options of dripping dark chocolate that can be poured on top..!! Montreal's BEST Icecream..!! So many flavours Tiramisu & Affogato are another level..!! Don't miss this icecream if you are EVER in Montrèal..! I am going to miss them as i am moving to Ontario soon !!
