Hoche Glacé is praised for creamy textures, a wide range of flavors, and especially strong vegan options, with tourbillons like tiramisu, matcha pistachio, and apple crumble a frequent highlight; reviewers note friendly service, a cozy neighborhood vibe, and quality ingredients, while some mention higher prices, occasional long waits, and variability in portion sizes, but overall the spot is seen as a top destination for both classic and dairy free ice cream lovers.
Cozy environment, server is very nice & patient. Although the price is a bit at a higher end but the quality is a top notch!! Will come again in the future. We love matcha pistachios ice cream! The creamy of the ice cream & bunch of pistachios inside are amazing❤?

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.
Pistachio matcha tourbillion was quite literally just vanilla soft ice cream with a weird amount of matcha powder & then whole pistachios…(i.e. you could make this at home & it would taste the same🤩🤩) not really a standout for me at $11+. Very aesthetic & looks great in pictures but the flavour really isn't anything special.
Tried the pistachio-matcha & chocolate milkshake - both were absolutely delicious! Staff were super friendly & had great energy. Even though the place was busy, there was still plenty of space to sit & enjoy. Definitely worth the visit
Tried the macha & pistachio ice cream.
Was very good & very fresh… thoroughly enjoyed it. The only reason for the lower star rating is the price, unfortunately. The price listed in my opinion for a'blizzard' is already on the higher end of things with 9.85$ for a small,, but there is an additional 1.50$ extra upcharge for that specific flavour. Total cost was just over 12 dollars. While I really enjoyed it, & they did add quite a nice amount of matcha & pistachios (which I get are expensive), I personally can't justify 12$ for one ice cream.
Kudos however to a really lovely ice cream shop with fresh ingredients & friendly staff which I would have otherwise gladly returned to 😊

The ice cream tastes was fine. I ordered a matcha pistachio ice cream but the girl said that there was no left of it & suddenly, someone else ordered it & they prepared it. It was kind of rude.
Loved the pistachio ice cream topped with matcha powder! The flavors blend perfectly - not too sweet, just right. I also enjoyed the crunchy pistachio pieces inside. A refreshing & well-balanced treat. Will definitely come back!
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!

Staff was so friendly & had a great experience. I ordered macha pistachio ice cream, it had a generous amount of pistachio within & it tasted sooo good. I ordered a medium size for takeout & she suggested to put it in a larger size cup cuz it was really warm outside. :))
We saw the reviews on how good their pistachio ice cream is, but it wasn't that « wow » It literally was matcha cream with pistachio nuts. It didn't taste much of pistachio. Overall, we enjoyed the matcha ice cream but we tasted better ones. Good place to go check it out. 2 Ice creams for 17$ cdn.
