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.
Crème molle & dur (une mention spéciale pour le sorbet passion & romarin), crème glacée végane, ne pas hésiter à demander le parfum du moment pour les tourbillons qui ne sont pas affichés. Bref parfait pour se sucrer le bec dans le quartier.
C'est très bon, beaucoup de choix & des choix pour les végans ou les intolérans au lactose mais j'enlève une étoile car les prix son trop chère: une petite crème glacée molle à la vanille c'est genre 9$
Le goût du café... Imbattable.
De la crème glacée végane donc SANS LACTOSE (Alléluiaaaaa!) qui peut remplacer la régulière dans toutes leurs recettes : irremplacable !!!!!
Love that you can get the equivalent of a dairy cream blizzard but with vegan softserve & gluten free brownie chunks. I asked if they could do a skor & brownie combo & it was great. I'm not a big vanilla ice-cream fan so I wish I had asked for the chocolate soft serve instead but with all the toppings it was still a treat.

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.
Super crème glacée sans produit laitier : leur Molle vegane est juste géniale quand on apprécie un parfum bien dosé qui ne goûte pas le mega sucré coloré!
Prix un peu élevés par contre

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!
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.
