Many customers highlight the delicious vegan options, creative tourbillons, and friendly staff as reasons for their repeated visits. While the atmosphere is often described as pleasant and welcoming, some patrons express frustration regarding the high price points, occasional service inconsistencies during busy periods, and the fact that some treats melt very quickly.

Je publie très rarement des avis, mais après près de dix ans comme client, je crois qu'il est important de partager mon expérience.
Je fréquente Hoche Glacé depuis son ouverture en 2017. J'y suis revenu à de nombreuses reprises au fil des ans, ce qui explique d'autant plus ma déception lors de cette dernière visite.
Nous avons attendu 42 minutes avant d'être servis, un délai qui m'a semblé excessif. Le service était très réservé, peu chaleureux, & les échanges donnaient l'impression d'être faits du bout des lèvres. Pour des prix qui se situent dans le haut de la moyenne, je m'attends à une expérience client beaucoup plus attentionnée.
Ce qui me déçoit le plus, c'est le contraste avec ce que j'ai connu auparavant. Le propriétaire était également derrière le Hoche Café, un endroit où l'accueil, la qualité du service & l'ambiance donnaient véritablement envie de revenir. Cette fois-ci, je n'ai malheureusement pas retrouvé cet esprit. J'ai eu l'impression que l'accent était davantage mis sur l'efficacité opérationnelle que sur l'expérience vécue par les clients.
Je partage ce commentaire dans un esprit constructif. Hoche Glacé demeure un commerce de quartier avec beaucoup de potentiel, & j'espère sincèrement qu'il retrouvera ce qui faisait autrefois sa force : un service à la hauteur de la qualité de ses produits.
I ordered an lactose free ice cream cake in the morning & went to pick it up at 5pm! Only had to say my name & they gave me the cake, wonderful people :)
I walked the whoooole day & went to see the fireworks at 10pm & the cake was still holding up in my bag.
(Please note that it was in a heat&cold grocery bag filled with icepacks)
The oreo & raspberry (soya milk) cake is a 10/10 for those who don't like too sweet & a little bit of sour :)

Fab! Ordered to soft cones with milk chocolate drip, when they told me the price I was a bit shocked, but worth every nickel -- such quality chocolate, ice cream, cone, great service -- everything was so tidy too. Had little tables outside & some shade. Well worth it (even if it is a bit out of the way). Biki bike stand nearby.
Hoche Glacé is one of my favorite dessert spots in Montreal! Their signature Tourbillons are a must-try, especially the Pistachio Matcha, Apple Crumble, & Oreo Raspberry-it's easy to see why they're among the best sellers.
They also have excellent vegan options, with rich, creamy flavors that don't feel like a compromise.
The outdoor seating offers a lovely view of the vibrant Hochelaga neighborhood, making it a great place to relax & enjoy your ice cream on a sunny day. I also appreciate the shop's European-inspired approach, reminiscent of Italy's artisanal gelato tradition, with creative flavors made from quality ingredients.
Je viens souvent à cette crèmerie & j'ai apporté ma copine pour la première fois, elle a prit le frappé au fruit : le planétarium. Il ne goutait vraiment vraiment pas bon (ça goûtait seulement le lait & la menthe) & elle n'a même pas pu le finir. Je suis un peu déçu étant donné le prix qu'on paye.
